EVEN MORE Pokemon Horizons Episode 25 spoilers under the cut!
(I know these warnings may be redundant but I wanna be courteous to those who haven't gotten to watch it yet - I'd love to preserve the experience of a series as much as possible as someone who usually steers clear of spoilers myself hehe ✨)

you know, as a writer, i want to include minorities in my writing. i want to write a whole lot of diverse and varied characters and if i'm not directly familiar with the minority/identity in question i do my research. especially on stereotypes to avoid and stuff.
and sometimes i see a post and i'm like????? like today there was this post with a sexy lamp test for disabled characters ("if you can exchange them with a beloved pet who needs expensive surgery rewrite your character as a person") and i'm so. i mean, it's a good rule of thumb and i did immediately check over the two ocs i created recently. but i am absolutely baffled?? who the fuck writes cardboard cut-outs for the sake of forced diversity???? how does this need to be said??? like for real??? (i don't doubt it. i wish i could, but. but i am so baffled and appalled and upset like how can you call yourself a writer if this is what characters look like to you)
but also especially because like, i created my characters specifically to include (physically) disabled characters. yeah because of another post that was like "you don't need any justification to break your characters' legs" and i went hell yeah, and also i have a post about crutches saved somewhere and i can make a kickass design (i did), and i made two OCs because one was an asshole and i didn't want zir to be the only visibly disabled person. So like, I made those OCs with the intention of inclusivity. But... they're still people.
They're still characters. Okay I already have the tendency to latch onto background characters too much but of course they're people?? They have different ways to cope with their disability and different reasons for being disabled. They have very different backstories and personalities. (They're besties tho and I love them).
Just. Even if I create background OCs with the specific purpose of diversity (at first, they still need a justification within the plot of course), I create them fully. I mean, is it even worth it if you're not going to treat the group you want to include as people?
Just like. This was mostly a rant because what the fuck man. ain't no way. how. why.

As someone in the throes of a very complicated grief, I will state that boomers had some things right.
The number of friends who just said "omg I'm so sorry. Lmk if there's anything I can do" when I told them my dad is dead but then never check up on me, come visit, or actually offer anything is astounding.
There used to be rituals. It used to be that loved ones would have more casseroles then they knew what to do with. There would be daily phone calls. There would be friends staying with you and helping you clean your house because it's just too fucking hard to do it yourself right now. I'm pagan as they come, but there used to be prayer trees and circles!
I know this is a rose tinted view of the past. I know that people are going to say my friends don't owe me anything and that they just "don't know what to say".
"Sorry for your loss" has gotten a bad rep as a cliche platitude that means nothing. But it means something to me, which is that you reached out and let me know that you see me and hurt for me.
I'm so fucking alone in this and ive only had one friend actually check up on me everyday.
This is NOT directed at any of my mutuals on here for. Y'all are Tumblr Friends ™ and it's a totally different relationship than the people I see regularly in person whom ive known for years. Those are the ones I feel like are failing me because they can't get over "not know what to say/do". Ffs, Google how to help someone in grief and find the steps.
