is anyone else startled whenever someone casually says your name at the end of a sentence?? like “that was really insightful of you ___” or “thank you for helping me ___” because it’s like: i exist to you??? you associate a name with my presence??? you think of me??? i’m going insane

its glaringly obvious a lot of you people on here give zero shits about autistic people. youll reblog positivity posts and all that easy stuff but then demonize or make fun of autistic traits. autistic teens who have an anime or something “cringey” as a special interest are constantly bullied. allistics will aestheticize stims like slime and glitter and treat fidget cubes like cool toys but if someone dares stim in public by flapping their arms or making unusual noises or using fidget spinners after the fad is over is fair game to make fun of. i see characters who clearly read as autistic get called annoying or stupid or even abusive so fucking much. the rest of the time theyre coddled and treated as “innocent uwu” when they clearly arent and im done with this shit. you say you care but you bully that “stupid retard” in your english class and think youre hilarious. its just so fucking transparent that allistics on here think autistic people are jokes or monsters.
allistic people can and should reblog this.
Oh boy, it’s bonfire night!
Time for the annual tradition of trying to explain to Americans that, no, it’s nothing to do with V for Vendetta.
Guy Fawkes wasn’t some kind of anti-monarchist revolutionary. Him and his really dumb possy of Catholics were a bunch of wannabe religious terrorists who wanted to blow up the Protestant King James and instate his nine year old daughter as a Catholic queen-puppet.
It’s not so much about “governments should be afraid of their people” it was “let’s explode a load of people and get a child to rule us instead! Yeah!”
Also he was literally one of those catholic/Christian terrorists that the internet (rightfully) usually hates. The only reason that isn’t the case is because of Anonymous, but they have done good things. Unlike Fawkes who was a dumbass and got caught red handed.
ok am i the only one who when thinking of professor blackwell immediately thinks of principal wells from life is strange because blackwell academy
i think a lot about how it would have affected peter that after he told juno he loved him and wanted to travel all over space with him and spend the rest of their lives together, juno left.
i obviously think that it was right for juno to leave, he needed to get better and recover before he could be in a relationship and do that stuff, and honestly good for him to realise that. however i still think a lot about how it also affected peter.
do you think maybe when juno and him finally got on the carte blanche peter was unable to tell juno he loved him in fear of juno leaving again? do you think maybe everytime they go to bed together peter wonders if this is the last time he’ll cuddle juno, the last time he’ll hear the ex-detectives voice? do you think that everytime juno tells him those simple three words peter internally panics?
because i do.
i just want to give david 7 a hug is that too much to ask
