DOCTOR WHO | 2.03: THE WELL + TEXT POSTS
trying to engage in protest communities has felt like this lately
This has been the best take I've seen on this issue so far
idk shit about hazbin hotel and i dislike it just because it looks like that but making the tumblr sexyman bait aroace was the funniest possible thing to do. the most sexualized type of chararacter just gives no fucks. it’s perfect
Hearing constantly about gifted autistic kids and people seeing it as THEE autistic trait has completely disregarded those who aren’t gifted and made a HUGE divide in the community. Seeing constantly “yeah autistic people are usually gifted” is so annoying because a VERY large chunk of autistic people, aren’t actually gifted and media has just put the gifted people at the front because they’re more palatable. The “autistic gifted kid burnout” has become more so a trend than anything and I’ve seen a lot of people assume they’re autistic because they are the “gifted kid burnout person” when that isn’t even a requirement for an autism diagnosis. You don’t have to be gifted to be autistic. You don’t have to be!!
Start putting the people who struggle more in the spotlight. Those with intellectual disabilities, those with learning disabilities, those with cognitive disabilities, those who are just generally stereotypically “dumb” and embrace it!
We need to have a very big discussion about this as a community and it needs to start today.
Just because something works for you doesn’t mean it works for someone else or vice versa.
Just because it helped you to forgive your abuser doesn’t mean that everyone has to forgive in order to heal.
Just because it helped you and gave you closure to report doesn’t mean everyone has to report to heal.
Just because being angry was bad for you and caused you harm doesn’t mean being angry is bad for someone else.
There is no one way to heal. Everyone is different and heals differently. Assuming that because something worked for you, therefore it must work for everyone else is wrong and ignores the fact that we’re all individuals on our own healing journey. Or assuming that because something didn't work for you means it isn't valid for anyone else is wrong.
Something being right for you doesn’t make it right for everyone. Something being harmful to you doesn’t mean it’s harmful to everyone. We are all unique and this means our healing journeys will also be unique to us. And that's okay.
This... this is just my playlist?
I beg your finest pardon?
neurodivergent and queer people how are we feeling?
do you have any pim headcanons 👀
jules i love you so much thank you for sending me this ask 😭
anyways here are some of my pim headcanons!!! (posted below the cut bc it's long lmfao):
⁃ his birthplace is Wollongong, Australia. he and his family moved to america when he was around 3-4 years old with his baby sister amy.
⁃ his accent softened from growing up in the states but it never truly went away; it gets stronger when he's extremely furious or drunk (and he doesn't like to be either).
⁃ his family is lower income/working class, often on the brink of poverty due to his parents' awful money management and the amount of mouths they had to feed. sadly, welfare checks were usually spent on alcohol and lottery tickets instead of healthy food, leaving pim's growth stunted from malnutrition :(
⁃ pim had a HUGE hyperfixation on gwimbly as a little boy, to the point where he would obsessively play the games until he 100%'d all of them and would even pretend to be gwimbly himself at the playground, repeating his famous catchphrase and victory dance ad naseum. imagining himself having the same adventures as his childhood video game hero was his escape from his turbulent home life...
⁃ throughout his childhood, pim was a victim of severe bullying due to his "nerdiness" and undiagnosed autism/ADHD. he was viciously teased for his Goodwill clothes and his accent, as well as excluded from group activities because his excitable personality annoyed his peers. this bullying worsened in high school, to the point where after his glasses were stolen and broken by a bully, he stopped wearing them altogether —both to avoid further harassment, and because his dad accused pim of losing it on purpose and refused to "waste money" buying a replacement for his glasses.
⁃ besides his old penpal oscar, pim had no actual friends until he went to community college, where he would meet his roommate and close friend bill from joining his UFO club, in which fillmore and duncan were the only other members at the time. what they all had in common, besides an apparent interest in aliens, was that none of them were all that popular in school either, and so they were united in being losers :,D
⁃ SPEAKING OF COLLEGE, i think pim was a bit of a party animal in his early 20s. he was more open to trying "new things"; whether it be smoking marijuana or skinny dipping, he was down (as long as it was with the boys). of course, he's mellowed out since then, but that wild side of him can still come out under sufficient peer pressure, as that alien party showed so clearly...
⁃ when pim first met charlie 7 years ago, charlie honestly hated him lmfao. he thought pim's cheerfulness was fake, and on their first day on the job, charlie progressively grew more annoyed at pim's overwhelming optimism, until he blew up at him and the two had their first real argument. however, pim didn't respond back with insults, but rather he pointed out the good qualities that charlie never saw in himself, angry tears welling up as he insisted that charlie was a good person deep down and that he's determined to bring the best out of charlie no matter how hard it may be, because he truly cares about him and sees him as a friend. as you can guess, charlie was moved by this statement, and that was when he realized that pim wasn't just pretending to be nice as part of his job as a smiling friend, he just genuinely enjoyed making people's lives a little brighter. and ever since that fateful day, the two became the best of friends :,)
I have SO many more headcanons to share, but for now i primarily focused on pim's background and upbringing because i'm autistic about giving cartoon characters lore :P
