Realized there’s a difference between social awareness and social acceptance and a lot of the former has occurred through the last two to three decades but the latter is more influxive. ◞ ̑̑

Being so comfortable with being alone you do everything by, for and with yourself. ☺️👍
Me and Me have a great relationship. 😍🥰
I took myself to the movies last week.
Bought myself a PS5 afterwards.
Love being alone.
It used to be a very sad thing. But I got used to it.
🎶You’re on your own, kid. You always have been🎶

WAIT I WANNA BRING UP ANOTHER THING ABOUT HOW BULLYING IS ADDRESSED IN NERDY PRUDES MUST DIE. one thing I really liked about how Max is shown as a bully is his talk with Pete at the Pasqualli's parking lot. When Pete tries to stand up to Max, Max pushes him down and emphasizes that Pete isn't a loser because of his own qualities - rather, Pete is a loser because Max simply said so.
Of course we can attribute this to Max's god complex but I think that this point in particular is less than often really brought up in teen-centered media featuring bullying: that bullying exists not because of nerdy behavior or whatever the fuck, but because bullies will it into being. And to have a BULLY of all people say that out loud - to have the main villain point out the root of their behavior without showing any kind of shame whatsoever - showcases just how much of a menace Max is.

so past the point of changing people's minds about me!! like i actually just realized today that i don't care. i am so much more capable of shrugging my shoulders at someone's preconceived notions of me than i used to be. throughout my life i will probably run into many a person who will have a negative impression of me that they will not be able to dispel (or will go out of their way to fuel for the sake of their confirmation bias or whatever it is). but i will also have the honor of meeting a lot of amazing people who won't do that and who will actually see me for who i really am and will affirm that w their thoughts and actions. so long as i know who i am, anyone who's willing to make the effort will know who i am too. and that's all that matters

86!Mav would be feral over 22!Ice in all the good ways he can think about. Maybe a timetravel au where 22!Mav reaches the breaking point in space and time and 86!Mav wakes up in his place instead, and he doesn't know where he is, but he knows that the man sleeping to his side is someone important for him, someone that makes his chest hurt in all the good ways and make him cuddle against his back because it feels right to be there.
And maybe after, when the whole situation is clear, Ice gets a little self-conscious. He already is with his Maverick, but it's different because his Mav got to grow with him and has his own sign of the time that passed, but this Maverick? This Maverick is twenty-four and as beautiful, if not even more, as Ice fondly remembers him, and he feels old. Old, scarred, and not something that should be watched as Mav does. So Ice hides behind scarves, sweaters, and blankets because he knows if he has enough patience, his Mav will come back, and he will be able to relax. But 86!Mav won't have it, and really, he doesn't get how his present self doesn't spend every second of his life touching Ice and kissing him. So he votes, in front of the mirror in their bathroom, that he's going to make Ice understand how he's still so sexy and beautiful that Mav burnt his hand making pancakes because he took his eyes away from the pan and he saw Ice reading his journal, glasses on and the whole thing reduced Mav's brain to no brain activity. And then he's going to write a letter to his present self to beg him to do a better job of remembering his husband how beautiful he is.

i'm still emotional about all of spock's life trajectory basically being that of a pendulum wildly seeking equilibrium in a confusing world
he swings back and forth from emulating extreme logic to poorly hide his emotional instability as a kid to embracing emotion and even cracking jokes and laughing to once again valuing logic (but this time he lets himself still fuck with people and maybe his eyes show a fuck ton a glimpse of emotion if you know how to look for it) and then finally in the movies learning that emotion and logic are not conflicting forces and he embodies both and coaches others to do the same and just AUGH

Whump Prompt #1086
Anon asked:
Need me some prompts for a really happy-go-lucky character who hides their traumas behind a witty remark and a cocky smile
Happy go-lucky is a trope I’ve modelled an OC on so:
Nothing appears to phase the character at first: even when it really should.
When the Worst Stuff is revealed about their past, everyone is sat in horrified shock except your character, who passes the whole thing off as a funny story. The character shrugs and says ‘and I’m still alive so... I’ll drink to that.’
The ‘it is what it is’ mentality. Someone is mean to them? They’ve heard worse. They’re injured? ‘Not as bad as the last time.’ They’ve just witnessed something horrific? ‘Eh, at least no-one died in my arms this time.’
They’ve learnt to craft their backstory into something more humorous to reduce the impact it has on other people.
“Hahah, well actually I’ve dealt with this before. It’s a funny story really, I was nearly executed for...”
Maybe one day they can’t hold it in anymore. That One Thing is enough to push them over the edge. Maybe they drink, maybe they do something else self destructive and it all comes out. There’s no cocky smile, there’s no joke; your character is being 100% real and It’s jarring for the caretakers... but also a relief that the trauma is finally being addressed.
