I'm so used to being surrounded by kind and thoughtful neurodivergent people at this point that I've forgotten that sometimes neurodivergency can make us assholes in very specific ways and even though yes there's nothing wrong with us for being "different" and we shouldn't feel ashamed of who we are etc etc it's still kind of also our job to try and not actively hurt other people and then just excuse it with "well I'm autistic/have bpd/xyz so you can't be mad" or "if you don't like me treating you bad you're making me feel like I can't be my true self around you" or something like. I feel like it's very obvious to me because I have The Disorder That Makes Everyone Think You're Shitty so I'm always very aware of trying not to be, but others. not so much I think

kinda surreal to see people on tumblr like, "the people on that submersible should have known the risks and were just too rich and stupid to think they could die" and then reading the account by the 19-year-old's aunt saying he was "terrified" to get in the sub and only did so to please his dad on father's day weekend...
makes me think about how we comfort ourselves through horror movies by latching onto some little mistake a character makes and going, "oh, that's so stupid! i would never do that!" and thus insulating ourselves from the horror that terrible things can happen to us, too.
and, i know, i know, the true thing protecting all of us from this exact fate is that none of us have $250,000 in recreational savings to burn on submersible trips down to the titanic anyway, but. there are plenty of other situations where we might overlook our own instincts that say to get the hell out of dodge just to please a friend or loved one, or because it's their "special day" and we don't want to rain on their parade, and where we might indeed end up paying for it with life or limb. i can think of several such incidents from my own life that could've ended with me just as dead, and that's just off the top of my head!
so yeah. it's a sad thing to hear about and i wonder how much of our collective scorn for the dead is in fact a self-soothing behavior to ward off our own fears of mortality...

The show expresses El's and Will's main arc and desires through their art in s4.
On the one hand, we have Will, who creates a painting for Mike that portrays them and the party together again, as their dnd characters. Of course, it displays Will's desire of belonging again in that friend group, of having what was taken away from him last summer. But, after all, the main focus of the painting is Mike. Because 1, the painting is for Mike after all, and 2, Will himself is telling where his priorities are, by painting a heart on top of him. Mike's the heart, his heart.
On the other hand, with her art (the figures she makes), El portrays Hopper and his cabin, the first place she actually considered a home. This creation is, in a way, for Hopper. Since she obviously can't give it to him directly, it's a tribute to his sacrifice, therefore, it's made for him. That's where her priorities lie: family.
Will's arc, his biggest hopes and desires, are primarily about love, just how he expresses in his art. El's arc, her biggest hopes and desires, are primarily about family, just how she expresses in her art.
So, narratively, who would make more sense to end up in a relationship? The one whose focus is love and belonging (being who he loves one of the reasons he feels as if he doesn't belong) or the one whose focus is family and finding herself?

dean doesn't want to be angry dean is trying every minute of his life to not be angry. anger was one of the few emotional states that those around him would recognize as valid and therefore became one of the only emotions he felt safe to express. but he doesn't want to be angry. and he tries not to be. it scares the hell out of him.

saw a stupid fucking post about how auston doesn't deserve the attention he gets and he doesn't deserve consideration for the C because of how little time he spends with the rest of the team during the off season
would love to remind people white leafs fans how important family is to latinos and how little time he got to spend with his family in the year leading up to the 2016 draft and him moving to toronto
would love to remind y'all to shut the fuck up maybe and think before you speak about a healthy work-life balance and consider that maybe family is actually important to some people people and while his coworkers are definitely his found family, his blood family is important too and some of us actually have healthy and loving and beautiful relationships with the people we're related to

I see where the people who see Sanji as an ESTJ are coming from, but I still think he's an ENFJ. I might not be the very best when it comes to MBTI, but I pretty much believe he's an ENFJ and I agree with the database. He might use logic and strategy a lot and like to have everything under control, but I think he focuses way more on others' well-being than his own and his whole personality is basically about his need to please others and take care of them. He follows the needs of others and his way of showing affection is pretty much self-sacrificing without thinking twice about it. He sticks to schedules but adapts to the environment and sees the whole picture even if he ends up following his feelings. Which is basically his whole thing. When it comes to making decisions he focuses way more on his own morality and feelings than on what's planned. The way in which Sanji is described during WCI by the Vinsmokes is basically the definition of an ENFJ, just a little bit bossier, perhaps? He does things like Mr.Prince and it can be easy to mistake him for an ESTJ but idk, I feel like he was literally just vibing there. And every time he does shit like this it just makes me see his Ni a lot more.
