Stop Making Sense - 1984 (Directed By Jonathan Demme)

In case you motherfuckers forgot, Tina Weymouth is one of the best bassists of all time and nobody gives her enough respect.

You Are Allowed to Be Happy

Yo so I’m not a shining beacon of happy other-life memories and present-day alterhuman experiences. But I’ve noticed a problem lately where I’ve seen more and more people ask if they’re “valid” because they only have happy memories from their other lives, don’t experience species dysphoria, and are generally fine with being who they are. I’ve even seen some people discount and ignore their happy memories as not being important and go searching for unpleasant and bad ones.  So let me Validate™ you all right now. You are allowed to be happy. You’re allowed to have nothing but fond memories of other lives. You’re allowed to be happy with your body and physical form as it is now. You’re allowed to enjoy your identity and the experiences that come with it.  Please love yourselves and allow yourselves to be happy. Don’t make yourself miserable for the sake of feeling more important or real or whatever it is people seem to be getting out of all this. And furthermore, please love yourselves and realize that you don’t need the external validation of others. You need to find that within yourselves. I know that we live in a time – and this especially is a website – where a lot of young people are unsure of themselves, have so many potential labels to choose from, are just trying to fit in somewhere, and want to know if they count and belong. I know that it can be hard. But you need to learn that the only way you will ever feel satisfied in the validity of your experiences is when you acknowledge and accept them yourself for what they are.  Don’t change yourself or be made to feel like you aren’t really who you are just because there’s one common narrative that you don’t fit into. And if you truly feel like you belong somewhere and can’t find others like you – make a space. Make room for yourself and the people like you will eventually find you.  But above all, please. Please. Let yourself be happy if you are happy. Hold on to every shred of happiness you can, because that’s worth more than all the “tru kin suffering” in the world.

Otherkin ≠ Mental Illness

A mental disorder (also called a mental illness, or psychiatric disorder) is a diagnosis, most often by a psychiatrist, of a behavioral or mental pattern that may cause suffering or a poor ability to function in life.

Identifying as otherkin is not, by itself, mental illness.

Identifying as otherkin is not, by itself, unhealthy.

Identifying as otherkin is not, by itself, a delusion.

HOWEVER

A person who identifies as otherkin may also have an unrelated mental illness.

A person who identifies as otherkin and has a poor ability to function as a result, may be mentally ill.

Identifying as otherkin is not an excuse for bad or anti-social behavior.

FURTHER

It is not okay to bully and harass people who are mentally ill.

It is not the job of random Tumblr users to determine if someone is mentally ill or not.

The stigma that “mentally ill” people are “bad” or “crazy” is harmful and needs to end.

“don’t reduce this female character down to a love interest” does not translate into “this female character shouldn’t have a love interest.”

preventing female characters with strong, compelling narratives from experiencing love, intimacy, and affection is just as regressive as reducing them down to sexual accessories for male characters. it assumes that women must choose between a romantic interest and depth of character and ignores a far more productive message: that women are capable of possessing both.

I love this quote so much. I’m not sure who said this, so I’m not sure who to give credit too. While I wish, and have wished this, it make so much sense. I don’t want them here in this world I would rather be in theirs with them.

*opens a can of Sprite*

Here’s to all the self shippers who have F/O’s-platonical, familial or romantic-who got done dirty and fucked over by their creators. 

May we all treat our F/O’s a billion times better then their own pathetic excuse of creators
