Think I probably am gonna make a new blog for the new year

#either that or rename this one #still not 100% decided #i am attached to this blog but the name definitely doesn't suit it anymore #even though nordic languages will always be my beloved <3 #just wanna have one blog for all my shenanigans i think #languages and books and training and personal posts and writing and shitposts and all #it'll just be easier

(spoiler warning for lisa frankenstein)

sobbing crying thinking about the creature doing everything he can to make lisa's return a happy and comfortable experience. he gets some of those little fridge poetry magnets so she can talk to him if she has trouble speaking after coming back like he did. he gets a record player and some of her favorite music. he gently re-wraps her bandages after she gets cleaned up. he knows what it's like to go through this- it's scary and weird to get used to being undead, but it's easier when you have someone to help you through it

#they mean so much to me. AUGH #lisa frankenstein #lisa swallows #the creature #creature swallows #some of that'll be a bit easier on lisa since she was already expecting to come back and she knows he'll be waiting for her #it'll still take some time to adjust though especially since her body got burned so severely #lisa frankenstein spoilers #< just in case #I saw someone in the tag upset abt getting spoiled so I'm trying to cover my bases

Yeah, you can face this You're on your own, kid You always have been

#ezranedit #tdpedit #tdp ezran #ezran #my edits #graphics #music #taylor swift #i always thought if i edited a solo ezran amv to anything it'd be 'uneven odds' #and i still think it might be but #maybe a trio amv to this song tbh #idk i think a lot about how Alone even within the trio ezran probably feels #he's king he can't up and leave without consequence whenever he wants #he's not part of the couple he's been picking up callum's pieces and running his kingdom #ez being lonely growing up as a kid. ezran being lonely growing up as a king #but also loving his family. and having his council and a support system #and eventually things will get easier #it'll just never be Childhood again in the same way

Some of you will see a character that is actively repulsed by romance/sex and heavily non-partner coded (sometimes they even actively just say that they do not want a relationship!) and y'all will still respond with "But aros/aces can still date and have sex!!" like okay bud it'd be so much easier for you to say you don't respect repulsed and non-partnering aros and aces. stop beating around the bush trying to pretend to be oh so supportive when you obviously feel uncomfortable about our existence even in fiction.

#text #aro #ace #aromantic #asexual #aroace #romance repulsed #sex repulsed #non-partnering #non partnering #nonpartnering #just admit that you don't respect repulsed and non-partnering identities buddy it'll be so much easier to block u that way #like do you realize how stupid you sound when you guys do this sort of thing? #all for what? shipping??? because being aphobic is fun to you??? because you dont like looking critically at your biases??? #because you're so set on believing your a good person that challenging that to actually be one is way too hard and uncomfortable for you? #'people can ship what they want' yeah and people can judge you for it too #people can judge who you are and if they trust or like you based off your actions #shocking isn't it? #some of y'all sound like children going “but but but if i cant ignore their identity then how will i have fun” like grow tf up #you have a million other characters that you can play with in the way you like #not having access to one is not going to kill you or ruin your life

I swear I have read your big post regarding Peter Parker's neurodivergence and why it is best to avoid labelling him, but he definitely has a weird brain

Can't find it and feel kinda sad about it cuz I deeply related to it

i know exactly which post you're talking about and i can't find it either! i've raked through my archive, and it's just - nowhere to be seen. i think tumblr eated it (it happens.)

really, tumblr's search functionality is so so useless, i don't know what to tell you. there are plenty of keywords i can search to find it that post, but the search functionality actually just does not work!

undiagnosed audhd-addled peter parker, my darling, my light, my life, my everything.

i think peter parker's such an interesting creature to write, because a lot of people will point to a certain behaviour about him and say "this is an autistic thing, right?" but a lot of those behaviours are actually, in my head, tied to certain traumas in peter's life too.

people say "oh, the food thing, peter's a picky eater because he's autistic" and yes, absolutely. but also it's tied to his trauma with his parents.

peter gets overstimulated, and yes, it's an autism thing, but also he was bitten by a radioactive spider and his senses are dialled to 11.

it's a similar case i've found for myself, too – where a lot of friends i have kind of diagnose me because i have autistic traits, but actually - i'm hesitant to claim the label or pursue diagnosis because, actually, i know where these certain behaviours come from, and they come from certain traumas. there are events i can pinpoint in my life and say "yep. that's where this behaviour comes from."

so - i think there's a lot of overlap between trauma and autistic traits. the brain is very complex! i think the reason for that overlap is maybe as simple as the fact that people with autism and people with trauma are both doing the same thing - developing behaviours to protect themselves or soothe themselves. so - i think it's nice to be able to see a character like peter parker, who may or may not be autistic, but recognise behaviours in him and see yourself in him.

people who go undiagnosed for whatever reason - people who are really good at masking - so good, in fact, that they have no idea they might be on the spectrum - everyone and anyone at all can look at peter parker and recognise themselves. because i think we discredit the thought that every single brain does the same thing! develops certain behaviours in order to survive. every brain has that same software - we've just all been faced with different hardships that we need to overcome, and that's were all the differences come in.

autism is a spectrum, i guess - everyone falls into it to some degree. and i think events in your life probably push you along on it. but i don't know, i didn't study brain science. probably what i'm saying is very stupid and uninformed. of course there's brain chemistry involved. but i know people in my life living with autism and certain events in their life have exacerbated certain behaviours or made coping with it a lot more difficult. so maybe trauma is a catalyst.

#a lot of my traits have been exacerbated lately and i remember it was much easier for me before #and some of my friends have said “oh it's because you've been masking too long and now you're facing autistic burnout.” #and that made sense to me i think. #but then i found out about the stress thing. me overproducing stress hormone. and that's a very physical thing. #and that explains why i've been overstimulated more than usual lately. and why everything feels like too much. #and i wonder how many of these traits of mine are going to subside once i have lamar removed #and it makes me wonder a lot of things. and it's so weird how much your brain is tied to your biology. #i wonder how much i'll change. i wonder how i'll feel. i wonder if i'll still feel like me. i wonder how much me is me right now. #and how much of me is being altered by weird freaky hormones. who am i?? who will i be?? #i'm almost looking at this as like. a superhero origin story of some sort. like this is my spider-bite moment. maybe. #will i be different? will i cope with things differently?? now that my body isn't fighting something anymore?? #maybe i'll be normal. i don't know. i don't know. #i don't know what it'll mean for me. #but all of these things mean i relate to peter parker in a certain kind of way #i don't think you have to be diagnosed with autism to recognise and empathise with those traits i think #i think everyone can see themselves in peter. and i think that's the benefit of having characters that aren't diagnosed. #because there's so much overlap in the human experience. and certain feelings aren't exclusive to just one group of people. #peter has such a rich identity actually. it's an autistic thing. it's a queer thing. it's a jewish thing. it's a trauma thing. #there are so many overlapping parts of peter's identity that inform who he is and how he behaves and it's never just one thing. #it's a product of all of his things. #just like me! just like everyone. #so me? i guess i can be a million things. you can explain what i am in a million different ways. #a hundred different psychologists can all come up with different ways to explain why i be the way i be. #i don't think it's something that can be simplified. #sorry wow. i'm really going off here in the tags. #i hope people don't think i'm stupid. i don't know brain science. i'm just philosophising as usual. #sci speaks

still thinking about the scene in netflix daredevil when matt is recovering from his injuries / relearning to fight and they bring in an amateur boxer for him to practice on. bc imagine being the guy approached by a nun and a priest, invited to the weird basement of a church, and instructed to try and beat up a blind guy who then proceeds to beat YOU up

#daredevil #matt murdock #I was just reminiscing today about how nothing will ever beat netflix daredevil #I don't really want to make a post about it so i'll talk about it in the notes: while I will def watch daredevil reborn I will not be #considering it canon #bc I get a lot of people are like 'well its more lighthearted like the comics' blah blah blah #and i'm happy if that's true! (I haven't got to the comics personally) #but its just hard to see the same actor who you know from a very serious version of a character #play someone so different #so for me it'll be easier to enjoy whatever marvel gives us if I don't consider him netflix daredevil #you know?

"only when the surrounding parts are darker can you see brightness" my hyune :( i agree so so much with him

this will sound silly but i like to think of my mind as a garden. i plant flowers there, i water them, i try to make sure they get enough light. and sometimes the flowers are vibrant, and it smells really nice in my garden. but at times there are storms and too much rain, and not enough sun, and the flowers wither down. and sometimes the bad times last for a long while, and bad seeds grow in the soil, by my hands or by other people, and the toxic roots intertwine with the healthy ones, and the entire garden is contaminated. but i can always start again, i can cut the harmful plants, and the sun will come. and the flowers will bloom again. doesn't mean im a bad gardener. it's my first time gardening. im doing my best. we're all doing our best. we're all learning. it's the time we spend waiting for the petals to unfurl that make us happy when the flowers finally bloom.

#just a thought i had #i told my friend the other day that sometimes it is the hope that keeps us going #because the good and bad times come and go #they come and go and come and go #but if the hope stays #that on a random Tuesday u'd wake up and breathing suddenly feels easier #then it'll be okay

[protector-culture-is]

Protector culture is working through everyone's problems and loving everyone with every inch of yourself. But when your caretaker tries to have you focus on yourself you struggle to shrug off the entire systems issues to address your own

#understands that. sometimes caring for other people becomes so ordinary that caring for yourself feels alien #just try your best. it'll get easier with time <3 #-? #protector culture is #actually plural #endo safe #🪶🕯️ anon

[popfizzles]

Hi! I'm new! Nice to meet you fizzlea! I'm @lathanworldz I was asking if you do requests art for free?

Nope <:)

I usually take commission for art done for others, but I'm currently in a small hiatus for my own mental health.

I'm focusing on drawing things for myself instead!!

If you're still looking to get some OC art drawn from me, I'm offering some emote YCHs [which you can look at here if you're interested in that sort of thing.]

If not, that's okay! I'll eventually be back to doing commissions, and I'll be sure to make a post about it when I am.

#fizzles answers #lathanworldz #i'm also probably going to swap to a carrd for commission info so it'll be easier for me to just tack that onto every site im on now

[yashley]

the way matt creates these emotionally** flat??? characters who have family attachments to the main pcs and yet there's just something.... off about the way they display intimacy that it equally angers me, makes my skin crawl, and makes me just want to write extensively on what a master storyteller matt is. the way he presents just in this campaign alone, parental figures that on paper can easily be defended and rallied behind somehow especially if their choices played out more negatively than they intended*, and yet actually experiencing people who you, individually, care so much about in your life and who, you would just naturally believe, would also care so much about you, but there's a blip on the monitor and a disconnect that at first is so infinitesimal. until it's not. until you get bruised deeper and they look at you the same. and it's like there's no true empathetic connection. from your "loved one". it's not malice, it's not heartless or calloused, it's just.... it's surface-level and it's crossed t's and dotted i's and you know that they do not mean it to hurt you. but they also don't really mean it when they tell you they love you. and it aches so incredibly well done that matt will have these figures look into the eyes of their own and say the words and have a softness in their face, and yet have no genuine fierceness to the love they claim for someone who has so much love for them. and it's not a criticism, it's just so well done because it's such a nuanced relationship in the world and it sucks but matt always delivers it so perfectly

#cr lb #matt saying well this npc wasn't GREAT like it's Not about tearing into a person it's about Seeing that people are just different #the way birdie hears all of these dangers coming for fearne and all she says is I'm sure it'll be fine anyway and there's no Fire? #if my little sister told me any of it I would be rallying torches and sharpening knives and yet #if you told my older sister about either of us she would nod she would respond and that would be it #and it's not criticism it's just. the reality that some people will burn for you and most won't and I feel it so much in matt's depictions #and the fact that it'd be so much easier to have every associated npc fill a normal slot it's just #when you expect your mom to be worried about you and she’s just not and you want her to be and she's just not #you want your sister to care about you and she just doesn't #and it's like these fractal disappointments that of course don't matter #reaching for the hand of someone who once cradled you in their arms and they're not even reaching back

[thehuntyhunties]

god i JUST realized. ghost hunter AU leopika would absolutely get married for health insurance purposes (they have been dating longer than their chaotic low-budget ghost hunting internet show has existed) and then COMPLETELY forget to tell anybody because they wouldn't think it's relevant

#ghost hunter au #leopika #text #like gon and killua know because they brought them to the courthouse as witnesses #and probably a couple other friends know?? i can imagine that if they're bothering to do it they'd bother with a party about it afterwards #but the vibe i'm getting is that they just. date for Years and it straight up doesn't occur to them to bother getting married #until they realize that it'll resolve some sort of insurance situation and make all that easier #and then they just. never announce it. or mention it to most people. kurapika still calls leorio his boyfriend out of habit and everything #it's EXACTLY like how their viewers didn't know they were dating until maybe 3 years into the ghost show #have you ever seen two people who love each other SO MUCH and also simply Do Not Care about it bc that's kinda this situation

[poorlydrawnmcyt]

does anyone wanna see a preview of my hoffstrahm Christmas fluff fic too bad you're getting one

“So you’re a cop?”

“I’m a detective, yeah.”

“But you have a gun? Like a real gun?”

“Yup.”

“And you get to shoot it at people?”

“Uh—” Hoffman smiles awkwardly, fingers wrapped around the mug of coffee Henry handed off to him moments before. (It’s one of Marie’s holiday-themed ones, and says “Christmas calories don’t count” accompanied by a picture of a smiling, half-eaten gingerbread man. Strahm’s always found that one kind of morbid.) “I wouldn’t use the words ‘get to,’ but if the situation calls for it…”

“Have you ever killed anyone?” Ethan asks with the sort of wide-eyed stare little boys get when they’re really interested in hearing a violent answer to something.

“Okay, let’s not talk about that sort of thing,” Marie laughs from her spot on a recliner. Henry sits on the arm of it, hand on her shoulder, and she, in turn, has her hand pressed to his. “It’s Christmas. Happy questions, okay? Does anyone have any happy questions for Mark?”

Strahm wonders when this turned into “Grill Peter’s Spouse: The Game Show,” but Hoffman seems to be taking it in stride, smiling there beside him.

“Do you— do you— do you solve mysteries?” Liam asks, sitting on the floor at his mother’s feet, fidgeting with a plush toy she must have brought from home with her to keep him occupied.

“Yeah,” Hoffman says. “Real tough ones.”

Liam looks blown away, gaping up at him. “Like Sherlock Holmes?”

The adults all share a laugh, and Hoffman says, “Just like him.”

“Don’t give him too much credit,” Strahm scoffs. “When he can’t do his job right, they send in me to figure it out instead.”

“You’re a detective too?” Liam asks, reverent, because of course the kid he only sees a few times a year, who’s barely in school, can’t remember what his actual occupation is. Hell, it’s a shock Liam seemed to remember him by name this year, instead of last year’s Christmas gathering, when he was simply dubbed “The Scary Man.”

“FBI,” Strahm says, and despite how much he hates his shithole job sometimes, saying that still gives him just the barest hint of a swell of pride. The badge means something, when you use it right.

“That means he works for the government,” Sofia says with a grave nod. Sharp as a tack at nine years old, she’s also a bit of a know-it-all, but then, so was Strahm at that age. Does it count as being a know-it-all if you’re always right, he wonders?

“So that’s how you met?” asks Charlotte, Robert’s wife. “Through work?”

“That’s the long and short of it,” Hoffman says. “He came in, stole all my thunder, then stole my heart.”

That gets another round of chuckles, and even a few annoying “awww”s. God damn Hoffman for being so personable and easy to like. Can’t he see Strahm has sulking to do here?

#sorry for all the names #basically they're just all Strahm's family LOL it'll be easier to figure out if you read it from the beginning #but this is a middle section #idk just really excited for this one and want instant validation SUE ME #fic tag #Saw #Sawposting #Mark Hoffman #Peter Strahm #hoffstrahm #coffinshipping

Today is hard again.

Pet loss TW below the cut.

Yesterday was better, thanks to Daredevil and Echo being a distraction, but today, there were just a couple things that hit me in a row.

Cato's ashes are ready to be picked up, along with his little pawprint. I want so badly to have him here. But there's also a part of me that doesn't want to go. Because if I do, if I go and pick him up in that little urn, that's it. It's official. My old kitten chow is gone. And bless the vet hospital because when I quietly said thank you and that I'd try not to cry when picking him up, they told me they understood, and I didn't have to worry about that.

Then my general vet, who is amazing and had been helping us keep Cato comfortable, also sent us this card which arrived today. And she included a small poem of the rainbow bridge, and some local pet loss support groups. So I cried over that for a while.

And then a final package arrived today from one of my friends and her family - a frame, with a space on one side for a picture of Cato, with a customized Pawprints poem on the other side. And then I just cried all over again, especially because the poem is so relevant - I did have to let him go. And I was there for him as he went, and it was peaceful, he did drift off, all while purring in my arms as I stared into his big blue eyes one last time. So then I had to go cry over that.

I'm grateful for all of it. But god does it still hurt, and I miss him so, so much.

#tw: pet loss #any one of them would have made me cry but all three and i have just spent SO much time crying today #i'm grateful for the gifts and the cards still weirdly enough #because i know it'll get easier to look at them as i move forward and i'll be able to appreciate them #and i'm grateful i chose to have cato cremated so i can bring him home #but god dear god does it still hurt

btw lifehack to any collectors out there or anyone who wants to protect their shit from their pets. display cabinets/cubes tend to be super fucking expensive but clear acrylic shoeboxes are wayyy cheaper and just as effective since they're also meant for display/dust protection

#a 10“ acrylic display cube is like 50$ minimum but a 8x14” 'clear shoebox' can be as low as 15$ esp in bulk if you have a big collection #i thought this seemed like a good idea and then i did it and its a GREAT idea #words and things #only downside is they're more lightweight than display cubes #which is Usually a benefit to me but it makes it easier for pets to knock around #that said it's still a shut box with magnet closures versus having stuff out they can just knock over & chew on #at least it'll be safe inside #YES my dog is a menace #she swallows socks whole when you aren't looking
