#possibly school shooting

[oifaaa]

Thank you to Steph for making Tim a more tolerable weirdo fan....maybe she can hit him again

She's just gotta keep wacking him over the head with a brick until he finally becomes just a normal guy who's not completely insufferable

#ask #anon #i believe in you steph #if anyone can fix tim its you #but also #someone on that last ask mentioned that tim would be willing to shoot anyone who knew him at that stage of his life #and it got me thinking #Bernard knew him #bernard definitely brings it up as often as humanly possible #hey tim remember that tim you went around the school with your camera and tried to ask gotcha questions #to everyone who was wearing a batman / nightwing / blue beetle shirt #i remember :DDD

#this would probably be more fitting for COTA but for ME it is very relevant and important #thank you DC for inciting this from me i guess 😭 #the only correct way to draw any Wild West art is to: #listen to Marty Robbins' Gunfighter Ballads and Trail Songs #and cry when El Paso comes on 😭😭😭😭 #so yeah if anything is mentioned over the course of a weekend that could be turned into an AU + #be assured that I can and will draw it >:) #if people like this maybe i wil draw some more for cota 🤭 i just wont have a lot of free time around that wknd tho ah #though i will say ive already discussed this possible AU with C a lot already 😭😭😭😭 #you already know what ship it would be......hehehe.... #anyways if youre ever curious where i get my ref photos. its called i play dress up in my room LMFAO #the outfit ref for this was a banger ngl. maybe ill wear it to school sometime 🤭🤭 #its almost kinda a shame hes wearing the coat in this bcs god damn the waist was absolutely snatched! #i love 3 piece suits sob sob sob #okay anyways hopefully fernando will continue to be a sharpshooter this weekend!!!!! #he should shoot for....a podium 🤭🤭🤭 he should shoot for....a win! 😮 #oh also i love how both c and i looked at clint eastwood pics as ref for this 😭😭 same brain 😭 #if i ever draw more of this au i def gotta draw him with that look! #f1 #formula 1 #fernando alonso #catie.art. #fa14

I had a big urge to experiment how to draw Sun and Moon normally. Like in my own style that didn’t look...weird...? So I did. Also sprinkled a little of TI!AU in here, bc why not?

You’re a theater kid tryna pay off your college debt after being unable to find a place to work after you got out. Plans fell apart and people flaked on you, even replacing you with someone else, so now you’re struggling to find work. But hey! You’re a performer, yeah? Why not try to put up with the energy of an army of children? Might as well until you can find out what happened to that troupe that abandoned you, right?

#Theatrics Interpreter AU #fnaf sb #fnaf #fnaf moon #fnaf sun #fnaf y/n #im makin this with the experience of a theater kid in high school #i am not a theater college kid i fly #so apologies for some inconsistencies #if you're a college theater kid you can correct me on things #or even shoot some tidbits my way to possibly spice up the story a lil

This morning I got so lost in typing up a two paragraph tumblr post about my thoughts and feelings about the nature of evil in the world that I was late for work. Typical February mood.

#anyway I am so scared of the way things like genocide and child abuse and school shootings happen in the world #and how normal people can get warped and twisted and become perpetrators of what they never thought possible #why is there so much evil in the world why do I live in a world with so much evil

[maddie-grove]

I was a sensitive kid who, from ages 7-10, had really intense anxiety responses to upsetting material in books, TV shows, etc. I read historical novels for kids and obsessively examined myself for signs of polio and leprosy. I puked after reading about a medical procedure in Karen Hesse’s Out of the Dust. I became irrationally afraid that I could make my dolls evil by playing with them the wrong way after reading YA horror where that happened. And I have five observations about this:

There might have been something going on with me clinically.

I was not upset by portrayals of sex at all. My reactions ranged to “this is funny” to “huh, interesting.”

Sometimes the best way to allay my fears was to learn more about the thing that scared me, sometimes because it took the horrible mystery out of things if I fully engaged with them, and sometimes because I learned reassuring things like “you have been vaccinated against polio and are unlikely to contract leprosy (which is treatable now) in suburban North Carolina circa 1999.”

The scariest book of all was the Bible. Its horrors were vivid and I perceived God as a kind of vindictive mob boss.

All of this kind of dissipated when I hit puberty and started having more grounded anxieties about school and body image. Which wasn’t great but it’s easier to explain to people that you’re stressed out about algebra than spontaneously developing Alien Hand Syndrome.

#I would puke today if I reread out of the dust possibly #I know because I read it in high school #(my mom took it away after she saw me vomit about it) #and I did kind of feel like barfing #what’s really puzzling is why I became lightheaded from reading the sled accident in the giver #like girl that is a relatively chill part of the giver #anyway kids should read whatever but maybe check in with them about their possible anxiety disorders #and tell them that god isn’t really out to shoot them in the kneecaps if they don’t do as he says

i love all the queer film parallels to byler but get the 13 reasons why one out of here i did not write a ten page paper my freshman year of film school on how mentally damaging that show was for you to remind me it exists when im tryna enjoy my fun little 80s gay monster show

#i have a thing with blood so ive never once watched the suicide scene instead i listened to the descriptive audio #and why the mother fucking fuck did they have her do it in the most visually graphic way possible #i also had such a fucking panic attack in s2 when the kid was getting ready to shoot up the school #like full on locked myself in the bathroom hyperventilating #i hated so much that they showed it from his point of view #i have major anxiety about shootings especially school shootings and that just sent me over the fucking edge WHAT WAS THE REASON #i think i watched it around the first anniversary of parkland and i was already stressed so that did not fucking help #i refuse to believe that show is even remotely inspired by anything in stranger things be fr its fucking horrendous #i didnt watch past the almost shooting scene and i never will #fuck that show #byler #‘’film school’’ pff its a regular college with a film major #i aint THAT cool

I just remembered those times I traumatized my creative writing teacher by:

1) making him watch Possibly in Michigan because I was doing a project on it

2) showing him that one “school essentials” PSA by Sandy Hook Promise because I was (still am) working on my own PSA and remembered that one PSA that traumatized me in 2019

#I do recommend watching that psa though it was really well made #‘back-to-school essentials’ #sandy hook promise is a really good organization #I’m inspired by their commitment to put a stop to the atrocities committed in schools practically weekly #I plan to link to them in my psa #text post #school shooting tw #school shooting mention #possibly in michigan #sandy hook promise

[bugmistake]

sometimes i do wonder like.. what is it like to live in a place where the possibility of mass shootings isn’t kind of always hanging over your head

#like i dunno i started doing school shooter safety drills when i was 11! i get texts from my college every month informing me that there's #someone with a gun nearby the campus! only one or two entry doors are unlocked per building! that's not normal!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! #anyways. im not going to my 12pm class. because i got a text this morning about a possible shooting. love it here! love it!

[bicon-crange]

“Somewhere there had to be a happy medium between treated as a terrifying murder machine and being infantilized.”

-Rogue Protocol, Martha Wells

I think about this line a lot.  The Murderbot Diaries series leans well into critiques of Ableism, and I think about the books in reference to disability a lot.

Ableism hands out the ‘baby’ and ‘dangerous’ labels left and right. I think about the perception of things like DID, amputations, anxiety, and depression. Sometimes both blankets get laid on at once. The idea of ‘depressed school shooters’ on one hand the ‘how to care for a sad person’ comic. It’s embedded in the culture (at least in the USA).

{Image ID: comic with multiple panels, how to care for a sad person, 2. pick sad person up 3. lay on blanket 4. rol them like a sushi 5. place sad roll on bed/couch/comfy place 6. hug roll close 7. put on rols favorite movies 8. feed roll snacks 9. make sure roll is well hydrated. Tears make roll dehydrated 10. happy lil sushi roll. End ID}

I have spent just the smallest amount of time talking with diagnosed autistics (and with self dxed and un-dxed folks) and seen their critiques on media about autism they make this really hit home. It’s PERVASIVE.

In the hated film Mus1c by S1A there is a throughline of her main character, Music, being childlike, but when she has meltdowns she’s dangerous. This same rhetoric is used by Autism Spe@ks, that autism will destroy marriages and peace and is actively trying to get you, that autistic people are missing something that needs to be found so they can be whole. When I tell you I WANTED to like Love on the Spectrum-- but it played deeply into ‘autistics are missing something, they need help, they’re childlike’ and it infantilized it’s cast-- I am saying it with desperation.

It is so cathartic for me to see this put so plainly into words by a character that is approachable to people who both are and aren’t autistic. These SHOULDN’T be the only perceptions of disabled folks! Because we are people-- multifaced, individual, just as dangerous and childlike as the rest of the population.

Some of us need more support. Some of us need more care. But we are all individuals, and these blankets are smothering.

i quite wish slash hope jgy (i’m talking about him because he’s my #1 boy but this also goes for jc and xy and probably every character that inspires such takes) didn’t have the fandom just... regurgitating the most random takes and/or treating them as gospel and Such Good, Insightful Meta because it agrees with their Vibe Read of jgy, when said Vibe Read is 99% rooted in fandom and maybe 1% in zanzan’s evil smiles, and Very Little, If At All, rooted in the things that happen in canon.

#especially if they contain sentences such as 'well logically this doesn't make sense but since when this character makes sense!' #yeah no they do make sense but you have to consider their situation and perhaps take even a tiny part of what they're saying seriously #if your take on jgy is that -- for example -- he is always ALWAYS lying... you're not going to have a good grasp on his character i'm afraid #but people think that all the time! that he's a master manipulator and every single display of emotion he shows is a lie expertly #tailored to make as many people as possible buy into it and feel bad for him. so you've got jgy breaking and TALKING to nmj #(yknow the thing everyone insists would fix 3zun. if they just TALKED ^__^) about how he's scared of everything and everyone and his #hands are tied and he IS different from all the people he's killed because NONE OF THEM were children of whores despised by the society #to which nmj reacts like he does. (they talked! ^___^) #there's also the eternal 'well he did one bad thing i think is inexcusable so i'm going to assume they're down for all the others' #they stole a thing from my favourite character so in my books they're not perfectly fine with: murder; rape; beating someone to death #with a metal bad; school shootings; child grooming; emotional manipulation; gaslighting; and tax evasion #also they have bpd and are a narcissist. i'm saying this with no prejudice at all btw ^_^ #mam trochę dość tbh #shrimp thoughts

[tar-miriel]

if i have to hear one more local boomer/older gen xer give their hot takes on how to reduce violence in young people i'm going to have an actual breakdown. it is legitimately straining my psyche to hear the generations that committed genocide and left us with All This confidently say that we should beat children more and military service should be mandatory again.

#there was a school shooting in serbia (which doesn't happen here normally.) and everyone's being the worst they could possibly be about it #i don't want to be here!!!

[actual-sleeping-beauty]

i would love to never see that gifset of carlos with the guns again. sorry like. perhaps i am simply too traumatized by the gun violence that has haunted my literal entire existence on this earth but. no.

#also i'm not kidding #i am younger than columbine #i was in the fifth grade when twenty elementary schoolers were killed at sandy hook #when i was a sophomore in high school two kids were killed by a fifteen year old in marshall county kentucky #the shooter called his mom and said there was a shooting and he was scared #he murdered his classmates with a poorly stored gun he brought from home #a month later 17 kids were murdered at marjory stoneman douglas high school #the shooter pulled a fire alarm #a couple months later an unscheduled fire alarm went off at my school #all of us sat there on the third floor of a possibly on fire building for a full forty seconds before evacuating #eventually the front office came over the intercom to tell us to evacuate #so forgive me for not thinking that carlos shooting a guy is cool or hot #tw gun violence #tw school shooting #just to be safe #y'all feel free to interact with this post but i'm turning reblogs off because i am not trying to start shit

[bordonfreeman]

Haha, im. Ok i can't even make a joke rn i am so fucking scared

#school is on lockdown. not a drill. acctual full on lockdown hiding in the backroom of the classroom #literally saw a cop through the window get out of a cop car with a gun before coming in the school #im on the third floor so like. statistically im fine right? and its not. a full on shooting or anything #haven't heard anything other than police sirens outside. but that doesn't stop me be worrying #i was going to stay after to work on things today but now i don't think i can handle that #i want out of this building as soon as possible #tw school shooting mention

Hm hm~

#im lost in my own memories as well as recounting what my mother has told me #i will admit i do not fully recall things from before i was 5. but i do have some vague memories. i KNOW Part of Your World was the... #well...first song i ever memorized. i remember putting the movie in my vhs player and rewinding the song . waiting. then pushing play again #to listen to the song and sing along with it. i would sing With ariel. i spent hours doing this with plenty of songs :) #until i got the hang of it and could perfectly (or as perfectly as a prek age kid can) sing it. i did this with a LOT of songs from movies #i sang disney. i sang barbie. (most specifically “free” from princess and the pauper. tbh tho i mostly sang Barbies part and not Ericas???) #but i did sing all of the other girl parts in that movie... #anyway. i joined choir come middle school. was in varsity. joined the highest choir a little 1st year in HS can join when i got into HS #something i still hold pride in bc we had tryouts for it :) i had multiple solos for choir concerts. in my 2nd year of HS i was bumped up #to Chorale choir (aka THE highest choir...intermingling boys and girls) and i even tried out for Show Choir #which you can only try out if you are in Acapella (the highest a freshman can be in) or Chorale. and only 10 to 12 girls make it in #and i made it in :) #sure by then i felt overshadowed but i had a ton of fun :) i quit choir my last two years bc... #well. i was pursuing a possible medical career via classes #but i still sing to this day. its so Relaxing and releases SO much serotonin. and tbh whats the weirdest part..? #when i try to record myself singing i get all nervous. but the moment i hold a microphone? even if im recording? my confidence shoots up #and my anxiety goes away #i love the stage. i love singing. idc if its ''cringe'' or im a Horrible person for ''loving disney'' but without disney songs? #i might not have grown into the person i am with singing as my biggest passion #so YES im going to see TLM live action in theaters. I. Dont. Care. if people think the movie sucks before they even see it #that shit SHAPED my childhood
