Ace-with-anxiety

Ace / Aro visibility in Bojack Horseman! It’s great to not only see an ace main character in the show, but an entire ace community filled with people with different ace experiences. I like how the writers included a scene that explained some of the nuances of asexuality / aromanticism, as it helps break the stereotype that no ace would ever want to enter a relationship. One thing I would comment on is that asexual means “not experiencing sexual attraction” over “not interested in sex.” It’s possible to be a sex-positive asexual!

I still can’t get over Link in trousers omg I’m sure Ghiri thinks the same ohoho

I took my meds too close to bedtime again and I need you all to know the dream I had last night involved Robin Williams becoming the new Defense Against The Dark Arts teacher at Hogwarts. Not, a character portrayed by Robin Williams, just Robin Williams as himself running around Hogwarts doing wandless magic and being as loud and big as possible because and I quote before I forget:

“Listen, children, I’m not saying all this bad shit that is happening isn’t scary and you shouldn’t be concerned–because you should!–but I’m telling you this now for free. Life is a boggart, it’s the biggest boggart of them all. You never know what it’s going to look like one moment to the next. And sometimes you just gotta laugh. It’s okay to laugh. It’s part of the grieving process. You need to grieve before you can heal. But it’s okay to laugh while you’re doing it.”

I didn’t wake up right after that, some more stuff happened in a hazy sort of way as the dream began to dissolve into conciousness, but I remember him yelling Expecto Patronum as he punched a Death Eater in the face. Because sometimes, evidently, you have to make your own happy memories.

no one catches it until you are older (or never) (i’m 18 i was diagnosed months ago)

you can hyperfocus on the schoolwork and projects you’re working on but you’re most likely losing 2-3 things a day that you absolutely need and getting in trouble for it 

not being able to prioritize which work goes first and doing a ton of research that isn’t necessary and getting off track super easily

takes you 2 hours to do an hour long assignment if you have too much time to do it

having the uncontrollable urge to fidget with anything in any way but being super annoyed by it

drawing during lectures once you take down the notes on the board because you can’t pay attention anyway so why waste your time trying? you can figure it out from the notes

not really needing medication because you’re doing fine in school

p r o c r a s t i n a t i o n

some teachers love you because you get so excited about what they’re teaching you (hyperfocus/hyperfixation) and others think you’re chill but you don’t really participate because you don’t care

literally living off of to do lists and check lists and lists lists lists WRITE IT DOWN OR IT’S GONE FOREVER

“if i finish these two pages of reading, i get to watch one episode of friends” five hours of friends later with 28 pages still left to read and netflix asks if you’re still watching: “yes.”

can’t focus on math without music playing but can’t focus on english with music playing

gifted in elementary school, and it all went downhill from there, at least it feels like it did because you no longer LEARN, you just memorize

In 7 days, Marvel will prove to me whether or not they are fucking stupid enough to kill off Tony Stark when his character arc has been building towards retirement and fatherhood.

Just let him be, for fucks sake. Pepper doesn’t need a dead fiance. Rhodey and Happy don’t need a dead friend. Peter doesn’t need to lose a father-figure for the 3rd time in a row.

The most hilarious thing about the fact Buckbeak had a trial and lost is that later on JKR resolves the issue by having Hagrid take him in again and renaming him Witherwings. That’s literally all it took. What if in POA, Hagrid simply said, “Sorry, Buckbeak flew away.” 

“There’s a hippogriff right there, Hagrid.”

“A different hipprogriff.”

“I’m… pretty sure that’s the same hipprogriff.”

“Prove it.” 

Normal - nor·mal /ˈnôrməl/adjective

A state of being that fails to create new experiences or opportunities. Normal doesn’t have the capability to change the world. Normality is the absence of variations which create interest.

“They kept trying to pull down my trousers…”

To everybody needing it:

I’m really sorry to hear your day sucked

I’m not sure if tomorrow will be better for you, but it’ll be a reset

You’ll find the courage you need to do That Thing

You are perfectly okay. You’re doing just fine…more than just fine, even. There’s nothing wrong with you. 

Take care of yourself tonight. It’ll be okay.
