but have you considered that the longnose gar's nose is long in comparison to the shortnose gar's nose?
look at this fellow! like 20% nose! imagine if you were 20% nose.
what a nosey guy.
I'll say I'm not super into any fandom at the moment and then remember that I not only applied to two colleges partially because of All For the Game but I will be visiting one of the schools the day after the new book comes out
Reblog to hug prev poster (they need a hug)
It's wild to me that people treat addiction like it's the addict's fault for having a weak character or something, and on the other side of it we have "addiction is a disease," which is an objectively better model of thinking but it's still treating addiction like it is in and of itself the problem.
Addiction isn't a disease, it's a treatment.
I'm not an addict because I came down sick with a hankering for substances, because they're fun. I was traumatized and then dropped into a society that makes survival extremely hostile. The substances are a pillow and blanket. They're a warm mug and being held tightly by a friend. They're an invitation to a seat by the fire when the storm is raging outside the doorstep.
Addicts aren't sick with addiction, we're sick with so much chronic stress and pain that we're crumbling under the weight. Many of us since we were children with no tools for coping.
It might not be healthy, it might not be safe, and in fact addiction is by definition destructive. But it's also an attempt to keep pressure on the wound. The addiction is treatment for sickness.
