Buffchonkfroggo - AaaAAAAAA

the thing about being nonbinary is that you really do start to forget that other people have such strict walls around what is and isn’t allowed for genders. i thought we all agreed that we made that up. could you climb out of the cave real quick and feel the sunshine for a minute.

Tell your addict friends you're proud of them.

Yes even if they are still actively in addiction.

Yes even if they relapsed. Idc if they've been sober a day, a week, a month, a year, a decade.

Yes even if they don't plan on or feel comfortable quitting/going into recovery.

Yes even if you don't think their addiction is serious, or if you think their DOC isn't "that bad."

YES even if they have been to rehab or detox multiple times.

July is disability pride month, and addiction is just as much a disability as any other. Addicts are people too, please do not forget to advocate for us too. Not every single illness is something you can uwu-fy, infantilize, or glamourize.

Even more amused that Merthur is trending outside of Merlin or BBC Merlin.

Keep it up, Fandom!

Now let me help keep it going by posting about it trending 😉

It is okay to mourn the child that you were, or the child that you could have been. It is okay to be sad or angry that no one protected you like you should have been protected. It is okay to grieve.

People mischaracterising cass as the most perfect most well behaved child ever is so funny to me like that’s literally Crashout Cain right there

anyway top 5 Cassandra Cain Crash outs (in no particular order, also may not be top 5 just the ones I can think of rn and they’re all from batgirl 2000)

when she saw someone shoot and kill one of his own guys and got so mad at him she stopped his heart so he would know what it felt like to die

When she woke up in the ambulance after getting the shit beat out of her by lady shiva and jumped out of the moving ambulance, crashed into a police car then went to go fight shiva again with like 4x the amount of injuries she had the first time (all while shirtless btw because her shirt got shredded when she threw herself at the police car)

When Steph died and she spent the entire rest of her run crashing out every 5 seconds (I can’t give all the examples rn but it’s basically just all the batgirl 2000 comics after no mans land)

when she got kicked into a barrel of illegal drugs then proceeded to hallucinate her friends and family saying mean things to her and also the devil and angel on her shoulders fighting, the devil one then she crashed out and beat up all the drug gang members then when nightwing showed up she kicked him through a window

when she decided that she had to fight the joker to prove herself as batgirl so broke him out of prison and when she couldn’t read his body language she called him boring then beat the shit out of him when he dropped his guard

There are way more than this btw, everyone in the batfam is a certified crash out but Cass isn’t recognised as much as she should be and that should be changed. Crashout Cain 2025 everyone!!

Anyway hope we get some epic new crash outs in batgirl 2024!!

A small thought for disability pride month... There's a stereotype/myth/common perception that mental health meds make people's art worse. Sometimes, it's portrayed as people being incapable of making art at all. Other times, they simply don't have anything interesting to say now that they're "happy." Some people even avoid going on meds because they worry about not being able to make art.

I want to share some pages of a comic I made during a manic episode, before I was on any proper medication.

I think this comic is very interesting, very raw and unique, but this was my attempt to be understood by other people. I made this art thinking that other people would know exactly what I meant by it. I thought this was incredibly clear, that it would communicate everything I was going through and had experienced without any ambiguity. When people didn't react how I wanted, when they couldn't parse it in the way I intended, it hurt me. Here was my best attempt to be understood, and I remained alone.

Now I'll show some comics I made after being on a mood stabilizer/antipsychotic.

You can say what you like about the artistic merit of it compared to that raw, abstract work I made before, but what matters to me is that I was actually able to connect to other people through this art. When I showed this work to people, their reaction was in line with what I intended. They saw part of me. I made it to show a side of myself I was incapable of expressing without art, and when people read it, they actually saw that side of me.

Without medication, I was trapped in my own world. I couldn't even begin to fathom how to connect to another person because we weren't using the same vocabulary. You might be "interested" or "compelled" by my suffering, but part of that interest comes from the mystery of my delirium. No matter how unique the result, it still represented a failure of intent. Learning to make art again after exiting that delirium was difficult, but I promise you it was and is worth it.

to reintroduce Jason to the world Bruce decides to just mysteriously announce that he’s adopted a new son and will introduce him at the next Wayne gala. all of Gotham is buzzing about the new child Bruce is gonna appear with. Jason cries from laughing.

Gothamite: what the. what

Bruce, grinning ear to ear, hand on Jason’s shoulder: this is my new son!

Gothamite: he’s not new.

Dick: well, repurposed.

Bruce: i don’t know what you’re all talking about! son, introduce yourself!

Gothamite: he’s not- you already- i thought this one was dead?!?

Jason, completely straight faced: hello, my name is Todd, Todd Jason.

Gothamite:

Tim, tiredly to Damian: and this is why we don’t let B and Jay make important decisions after they’ve shared 3 bottles of wine.

current goal: make it through the week

long term goal: make it through all the weeks

who else mourning the person they could've been if they were treated kindly as a child

When Wild was overwhelmed or scared during his first adventure, he always ended up playing with Wolfie

One day, Wild tapped Wolfie’s snoot and Twilight kinda jerked back, not expecting to be touched that close to his face while he was half asleep

The reaction made Wild laugh and he has a habit of doing it now

That habit expanded from just Wolfie

His first victim after Twi was Sidon. While he was thinking about trying it on Sidon, he kinda was just like 0_0 for a few minutes

Sidon asked what was up after the very uncomfortable silence between them, Wild told his giant ass to lean down, Sidon did and he got booped

Sidon had a more confused reaction, but laughed with Link. Sidon’s been booped before, it’s been 100 years, but he still remembers the feeling

Third victim was Tulin

This is pre-totk so he’s still just that little guy who flaps his little wings when his dad hits one target

Wild went over there to ask/tell Teba something and Tulin begged Wild to shoot, so he did. When he got back to Tulin, the little guy was elated definitely not because he didn’t accidentally forget to switch arrows and therefore wasted a bomb arrow Wild became very happy and was reminded of how much he loved kids and booped Tulin who got extra happy

Tulin is autistic guys😔

This habit is still very ongoing. He’s victimized Zelda too. It didn’t help when he was suddenly surrounded by more boopable victims

Especially with one with a very pointy nose…

He made Time his first victim in the Chain. He had a similar reaction that Wolfie did

Wild loves his nose and keeps booping it, Time has learned to except his fate and follows his nose tap with him ruffling Wild’s hair

Anyway, yeah, Wild likes booping noses

Please boop him back, he loves it
