“your self-diagnosis will never be as good as a professional diagnosis” yeah, my self-dx isn’t “as good” as a pro-dx would be, it’s better!
most psychs have spent maybe a few days maximum learning about the absolute basics of my diagnoses, while i’ve spent years taking in every bit of information i can find, including lots of information from the same sources they’d be using and more — chances are i know more about my diagnoses than the average psych ever will
psychs who do have more knowledge got that knowledge from deeply stigmatizing sources, and most have never bothered to learn from the people who actually live the experiences they claim to be experts in (ex. “npd experts” who actually just specialize in “evil abuser disease” or people like martin kantor)
a psych will never be able to know what’s going on in my head the way i can because they can’t read my mind, so even if i was able to articulate my internal experiences really well (which i’m not — i’m a semiverbal avoidant with often disorganized thoughts/speech; explaining something like that is hard if not impossible for me), hearing it secondhand can’t compare to the 20 years i’ve spent living it
the vast majority of psychs operate based on sanism and profit motive — they’re more than willing to take obscene amounts of my money, only to deny me a diagnosis based on not meeting some shitty stereotypes or say there’s no point in giving me a diagnosis if i don’t want a cure or give me the diagnosis and then have me put in a psych ward because my diagnoses make me one of those ~scary mentally ill people~ that none of them want to deal with
a misdiagnosis from a psych could potentially lead to me being put through intensive therapies or put on medication for the wrong thing, which can have very bad results, and the label might stay on my medical record even after being proven wrong; if my personal assessment is wrong, nothing happens — no one gets hurt, i just go “oops, nevermind”, keep whatever useful things i learned from it in my “toolbox”, stop using the label itself, and move on with life
coming to my own understanding of how my brain works and using the labels that actually make sense to me means i actually get to have some autonomy for once — i get a community of people who understand my experiences and a better understanding of how to manage my symptoms and accommodate myself, without having to fear things like forced treatment or intensified discrimination
the idea that my neurotype makes me incapable of self-awareness and introspection is ridiculous — some people might feel that way about their own situations and need to rely on outside assessment as a result, but that experience is not universal
my understanding of my own mind is NOT second-rate compared to a psych’s, and i don’t need to put myself at risk just for a stranger to tell me what i already know
Was suddenly overcome by nostalgia and in a frenzy wrote my own english lyrics for Sakura Kiss (Ouran HSHC) just now while in the shower MFNSMND it was fun and I'm actually p proud of these... Sharing in case anyone wants to do a cover w these lyrics!!🥹 (pls credit and show me if u do🥺)

Sakura Kiss
(milkbreadtoast ver)
KISS KISS FALL IN LOVE (HEY HEY HEY)
I've realized that all this time... you've always been right here with me
But is it hate, or like, or am I going crazy?
If i could look inside my heart
and see my feelings clear as day,
lady or host, it doesn't(/wouldn't) matter either way.
When love comes into our lives,
we dont always know why
but when i look in your eyes...
MAYBE YOU'RE MY LOVE
I want(/need) to see you now
so I can give you a cherry blossom kiss, and if your heartbeat skips then it's love you know!
spectragus dont get enough credit for being a sun and moon ship but like. destructive sun and moon ship. sun and moon ship but they're the forces of nature the sun and moon actually are. the sun is harsh and relentless and unpredictable in its evil but also it's kindness, the moon is sharp and cold and cruel, a harsh light that doesn't allow you peace, but can also guide you, a light in the darkness. even on nights with a new moon, with no light in the sky, the moon is always reflecting the sun, and it'll be that way until they come to their end.
A God Brothers au thing because it's been a while lol.
Violence has always been a language the Minecrafts are familiar with.
Made from blood and death, pushed into positions of power, not one of them has ever been free of it.
To reject them would be to deny nature, to give into them would mean giving up their humanity, they all strike a balance, one way or another.
It's easiest for Phil, as the Angel of Death it is his job to keep the balance between lige and death, for others, like Wilbur, it's giving up living and coming back not quite right. For Tommy, it's a fight every day, but those who he cares for are the ones who keep him going. Grian and Techno are two sides of the same coin by design, so it comes as no surprise that they find that balance in eachother, it's Grian who teaches Techno to deal with the voices, and Techno who reels Grian back when he's gone too far.
Yes, they're made from blood and death, but that doesn't mean they have to be aggressive or evil, it's a choice to speak with violence, one they've made before, one they'll make again, but in the moments that count, they choose family.
im 100% throwing shade rn right, but how r u gonna be trans and have the option to pick a name, pick an IRISH NAME, spelt the irish way, get mad when people mispronounce it (real) and then in the same breath turn around and say shit like “no wonder irish is a dead language” and just geniunely have no respect for irish as a whole. complain the whole time when ur being let out of class for an event where youre learning the basicest of irish and doing dances and all.
tbh gaeilge24 isnt the best but its still good craic liek as long as u arent a dickhead about it, like god forbid you learn how to say rainbow and shite in irish, do a quizlet, and dance for a little while while getting out of class like cmon calm urself irish isnt that bad.
dont get me wrong like, i complain abt french and spanish all the time right, and i make fun of it all the time but its all in good faith yknow, plus theyre some of the most spoken languages in the world. but in my head id never do that w an endangered/protected language bc its just punching down yk, bro even w cymraeg and shite i look at the consonants and get really confused but i dont shit on a whole language just bc i have no idea how the letters work😭😭😭
idk ur just punching down at that point in my opinion at least yk
but sure go say ‘tiocfaidh ar lá’ spell tiocfaidh as ‘chucky’ and say arán rósta as a little joke bc thats the only irish you know then sit there w ur wee defeatist attitude and complain abt the british for everything they’ve done here to ruin this country, get pissed when people call u british bc u live in the north (real) then turn around and say that everyone whos scottish and welsh are british even tho the exact same thing happened over there.
but dont let me stop u, just carry on and hang onto the tail ends of nationalism as you wear a caricature of your own culture. wear the bits you dont have to work for, the name(which you mock people for when they add the fada that should be there), the misdirected malice, the half informed hatred, everything you can put on within a seconds notice, using the least amount of effort possible;
and i wonder if the reason you mock others for putting the effort in is from a place of jealousy, insecurity maybe. the same way you give me shit for getting good marks, constantly bring it up and get pissy when i score higher than you, im guessing its like that.
(sorry im just really angry rn and when i get mad i go all poetic and shite😭😭 im being really over dramtic rn and i just need to rant so😭😭)
eugh no bc like. ppl not wanting to share f/os is fine man!! completely understandable!!! if ur uncomfortable w someone sharing them there is a very affordable. nay. FREE OF CHARGE block button right there!!! but to then go on n be a whiny RACIST little piece of utter bs bc someone elses selfship w the same f/o is more popular??? girl. girl back up. unnecessary, unneeded, unwanted. also not a good look for ur digital footprint considering ✨actions can be traced back to u✨
like just curate ur own internet experiences man 😭
ok so i was reading fanfiction and thought about the nightmare knight calling people "my child" (yknow like toriel in undertale) AND THIS MIGHT BE THE BEST IDEA I HAVE EVER HAD
