can't tell if the most shocking famous cousins reveal of all time was ben shapiro/mara wilson or joe rogan/gerard way
i also wanna yell about gwendoline christie’s performance as lucifer because she’s just astonishingly good. so many people approach the role emphasizing the fallen aspect of the fallen angel, and she goes out of her way to emphasize that she’s a fallen angel. the way she treats dream with the utmost hospitality coated in poison, and fucks him over as much as she can with the same hollow pleasant smile on her face. the way she can’t outdo dream’s “I am hope” because to kill hope would be to kill her own hopes of one day going home. the way she literally gasps with tears in her eyes when dream calls her on that. and when the mask finally drops, and she tells him in no uncertain terms that one day, Hell will destroy him, it’s fucking personal and that she’ll be holding the knife herself. i can’t, honestly. give her all the awards.
Apparently this needs to be said:
Spouses/partners/significant others of disabled people are not "heroes", ok?
reading/writing fanfiction about your otp be like:
Nearly 20 years later and I still can't wrap my head around the fact that this was an actual Spongebob scene.
the thing about being in a fandom for a long time is you inevitably develop very intense opinions about things you know objectively are absolutely meaningless but nonetheless make you want to gnaw through drywall like a feral cat and there's just nothing you can do about that
anyway, Thought Of The Night:
when i was 6, i started experiencing back pain. said it hurt, kept suggesting a doctor.
no one listened.
by the age of 13, i should have been tested for scoliosis.
the school fucked up, and i wasnt.
at the age of 14, i went to the doctor for a bad back.
she looked at me, looked at how criminally large my breasts where, how fat i had become due to inability to exercise properly.
looked at my back. said i might get scoliosis if this kept up. do these exercises, youll be fine.
sent me home.
at the age of 15, i walked around New Orleans for a week in flats. gave myself tendonitis and plantar faasciatis.
no referrerals to a proper PT specialist. no rx drugs that might help. just...
here, do these at home exercises.
by the age of 16, i was having stomach pain every day from acid caused by my OTC drug use.
the stuff i used to mitigate the pain.
the doctor gave me what was essentially topical Ibuprofen. told me i couldn't injest painkillers anymore.
i was 20 by the time i saw a doctor and got my diagnoses. i was 20 before i knew i had fibro and scoliosis. i was 20 before i knew that drugs that weren't narcotics or OTCs that messed with my stomach existed, that i should use a cane, that i might need a wheelchair some days.
kids don't say "I'm in pain" over and over and over for attention. they don't fake being hurt in a chronic way.
i feel like everything i went through was preventable. i feel like i might be abled had i had proper care and treatment.
parents, caregivers, loved ones of children:
When a kid says they're in pain, please listen.
“Now you’re breaking more than my heart, Marinette!”
