ok but the way he's still kind of getting outcunted by the guy on the left
Such an important thing to hope for
ive found that partially treated mental illness can sometimes look to uninvolved onlookers like faked mental illness.
had to get a cortizone shot for my back and they did this, and it was so helpful.
they walked me through each step of the process, including how long each part would take, the estimated pain/pressure scale for each part, what to do when i felt something uncomfortable, and things that could go wrong and what we would do about it in the event it happened (like a spinal tap). and during he walked me through each part, told me where i should be feeling everything, etc.
i WISH more doctors were like this. i had absolutely no anxiety compared to many other procedures, or even small things like shots, because they walked me through EVERYTHING.
the problem with autism is sometimes you want to do something (brave) but you need someone to gently walk you through each step so you know what will happen. and people don’t like doing that
Ceaseless watcher turn your gaze upon this fuckin thing
brooo i haven’t even watched this and i’m already fangirling, that’s too adorable goddamnit
Ed starting to fall in love with Stede before they've had a single conversation.
something similar happens during part 28!
there’s a part where kayne yells at john and every time i hear it, it sounds like arthur. arthur sounds like kayne as he’s lost in grief as kayne sounds like arthur in billowing anger.
I know this is simply because Malevolent is all voiced by Harlan, but I've rewinded this part in Part 49 maybe 5 times. Right after John reads the letter. Arthur's laugh sounds just like Kayne's.
It's so specific because I thought it was an accident but this isn't what Arthur's laugh sounds like, he has a warmer laugh, he holds it in his nose and resonance, even when it's an uncontained manic laugh like the ones in the faerie ring, those are still usually more of a chest sound. Kayne's is in the back of his throat and less controlled.
It doesn't nessecarily mean anything, but it is really cool to hear a bit of Kayne in Arthur's voice when he's so utterly lost with grief for himself.
keep thinking that in another life i’d get to be a roughed up boy with split knuckles who gets to cope without hoping it is beautiful. keeping thinking i could be the girl that smells like a warm fire on the train, the one you fall in love with for a split second before i’m gone. keep thinking i could be the sunshine, or the moon, or both, or maybe a black hole. been wishing to get scraped up on the pavement and wear my hair messy, and drink ‘til i hit rock bottom so hard i chip my teeth and make myself learn how to sing again. keep forgetting it’s neither here or there, it’s now. so i’ll drink if i want until i remember how to feel alive, i’ll get roughed up and wear my cheap perfume that smells like rubbing alcohol at first, and i’ll be the sun and the moon and the birds singing in june, because there is literally no other life, it’s just this one. fucker.
keep thinking “somewhere in another life” like this isn’t the only one i get. fucker.
On Friendship.
You should be able to say “don’t touch me” to anyone ever in any context and not have it be considered in the realm of surprising or insulting imho if we ever needed to normalize something it’s this
i hope that in 2025 u get to take more walks, read more books, connect with more people whom u love and who love u, achieve ur goals (even if ur goals are having no goals and just living in the moment), exercise fun hobbies, move from a place of self-direction, and weave together a beguiling assortment of beautiful little moments. remember that no feeling lasts forever. love u
