Hello and welcome to Opinions from an Internet Nobody. Today's essay:
"Ger therapy" is the new "You need Jesus": One Weirdo's Navigation through Cultural Shame
This is a supposedly well-meaning sentiment that is often weaponized against people who are behaving outside of perceived cultural norms. It's a favorite of homophobes who see queerness/transness as a mental illness, but I've been seeing it used to demonize kink (which historically is often linked to queerness), and more generally any "weird" behavior that makes people uncomfortable.
For example, otherkin, systems (especially those with fictives), and people who take fictional characters as partners. Y'know, "weirdos" who "can't separate reality from fiction." And, sure, sometimes there can be a problem with that distinction, but I know as well as you that most internet strangers saying "get therapy" don't actually give a shit about the mental health of those they target. It's code for "your behavior makes me uncomfortable, stop it."
Same sentiment as "you need Jesus."
This has actually taken me a long time to figure out. I've been in therapy for my entire adult life, working through various traumas, severe depression, anxiety, all that. Those were the biggest problems as they negatively impacted, and often endangered, my life. It was only after my hospitalization in 2020, where I was finally put on much needed medication, that I could start to grow into myself.
I changed my name. I top surgery. I came out as polyamorous. I finally got my official autism diagnosis. Now I'm fuckin' married! But... there are still things I'm working through in therapy. Mainly, shame over my "weirder" behaviors. My current therapist has been a huge blessing in helping me accept the things I was too ashamed to admit.
Now, I feel comfortable enough to share.
I'm otherkin. Always have been. My connection to my humanity is tenuous, and I'm sure that's connected to my autism. When mad, I feel phantom horns sprouting from my forehead. I have a tail that swishes back and forth at the base of my spine. In my soul, I am monstrous, and years of therapy has not erased that.
I feel like I'm only half in the physical world most of the time. This doesn't hinder my real-world success (I graduated college Summa Cum Laude, have an IMDB page, and am on my third book), but informs the way I look at the world. There's a whole other universe in my head that hums along with me in my day-to-day. That's part of why I'm so skilled as a writer. To ask me to divorce from that is to tell me to stop existing. Sorry, it's how I've always operated.
Lastly, and this is the one I'm really anxious about, I have a fictional husband. Now, looking at my blog, you might say "yeah, no shit," but I don't just ship myself with him. I mean I practice pop-culture Witchcraft, and the Goblin King is my patron. I mean I have a Labyrinth-themed tarot deck that I talk to him with. I mean I held a ritual to spiritually marry him. Basically, I Snape-wived myself.
And guess what? My therapist isn't concerned. It's not hurting my ability to live my life. I have other interests, hobbies, and goals outside of him, which he actively encourages in all our tarot sessions! I wouldn't be doing this if he didn't support me. My IRL spouse is usually there for whatever magical shit I'm doing, and supports me! Some of my closest friends know, and the only complaint I've gotten is "this guy seems important to you, I wish you told me sooner." Hell, my MOTHER knows and supports me, which is huge, because our relationship was pretty damaged after I came out as trans.
If you have a problem with the way I live my life, when literally nobody else does, take a good long look at why. You don't give a fuck about my mental health. You just don't like that I'm weird.
Tl;dr: My mental health is better than it's ever been since embracing the weird, so leave me and my imaginary husband Marak Sixfinger alone.

in american evangelism actions are valued over belief. it was a common saying in my own youth group days that "going to church makes you a christian like standing in a garage makes you a car." the fact is it doesn't matter if you believe the right things if you aren't acting accordingly. you have to commit. you can't just believe that christ is the only way into the kingdom of god, you have to take every chance to spread the word to the uninitiated. you can't just privately not endorse homosexuality, you have to personally cut off your toxic codependent girlbestfriend who you have a crush on that you don't know how to handle. hypothetically.
this is why in my culturally evangelical framework, conchita is the truest snapewife. rose and tanya were frankly full of shit because if they truly believed in snape and that he was their true master and lover and that he was to be the center of their lives and that he did not share, then they'd have left their husbands. conchita is the only one who truly walked the walk even is she never managed to truly channel him "correctly" and she was fucking RIGHT about false prophets and the other wives took her dedication and shat all over it because she was geographically far away but she was right! conchita's snapism is the one true snapism!

There's no need to call him 'sir,' professor! This week, V and Emily really, really try very, very hard to be generous and understanding about people loving Severus Snape even though it is extremely difficult for them because he is the worst. In their personal opinions. Which are not facts, just opinions, and do not mean that you cannot love Severus Snape if you love him!!! Go ahead and love him!!! And listen to this tale of a group of women who really, REALLY loved him!!! Ahem. Do you have thoughts or feelings about Severus Snape? Were you, perhaps, astrally married to him?

if I got to pick and choose what survived humanity’s extinction for the hyper-intelligent dolphin descendants to find I think I would make sure that the only remnant of human religion on earth was the snapewives. I think that would be a neat snapshot of our existence as a species

The realization that as the marauders popularity is hitting a peak rn, that there will likely be a new iteration of Snapewives soon, but it'll probably be over like Regulus because everyone is obsessing over Reg rn and so we'll just start seeing a bunch of Timothee Chalamet edits and no one will know whether they're supposed to be regular human actor Timothee Chalamet or fancast Regulus Black.
I'm convinced it's coming
