10 year old Dick: "Bruce, when you get married, can I be the best man?"
Bruce: "Of course, chum."

12 year old Dick: "Hey Clark, do you think when you get married, I can be your best man?"
Clark: "I don't see why not."

25 year old Dick: "In my defence, I had no way of knowing you'd end up marrying each other."
just in case the wrong type of person (those who will absolutely use this as an excuse to physically harm, harass, or do unmentionable inappropriate activities to unwilling parties) sees this:
Your intent and diagnosis is an explanation but when someone does actually say “hey don’t do that” / “that makes me uncomfortable” / “please stop” YOU STOP. When people are SAYING and actually communicating with you to STOP that’s not something that’s vague or misunderstandable.
of course this doesn’t apply to the implications of people being uncomfortable, because that can absolutely be missed by anyone neurotypical, let alone anyone autistic. But I’m sick of seeing people use this as a scapegoat for straight up assault or harassing people. If people say stop and you don’t? You’re not just an asshole, you’re a freak who’s about to have no friends.
this post cannot apply when people tell you how to change.
I think some of you forgot that autistic people sometimes act strange and say things that are poorly worded and speak with incorrect tone and misunderstand or miss social cues because they are autistic
The brainworms struck. Trans man! Bella swan.
He probably figures it out before moving back to Forks and has a moment where he chops off all his hair in a mental break down and his mom (parentification Queen over here omg) doesn’t know how to handle being the one doing the comforting for a change, so that’s part of the reason she sends him away. She’s supportive, but only from a distance.
Then there’s Charlie. He probably feels so guilty at first for being so happy he finally has a son that he doesn’t really know how to interact with his newly-minted son, without even beginning to address the fact that this child has grown so much since he’s last seen him. Like there’s already so much going on in the way of “oh we don’t really know each other as parent and child” that Charlie takes maybe about two to three weeks to even begin to address his son’s very obvious mental issues caused by his ex-wife, let alone the way his son’s life crumbled and re-built itself when he realized he was trans. I think it’d culminate in Charlie taking his son fishing, only for both of them to accept that this is not a good bonding activity and for them to spend the time having an impromptu picnic instead
oh and you know Carlisle had him clocked the minute he walked in. Like sure Forks is a small town but Carlisle’s been a doctor long enough for him to write prescriptions for HRT like. He knew. And he was fully ready to just.. give him a prescription for testosterone if he asked. I get the feeling that Esme would be one of those allies who just.. straight up don’t see trans people as anything other than what they identify as. Like, as in, she doesn’t think about the fact that t-boy swan here would still have periods and have to bind. She overhears swan asking for a pad from Alice and for a full day she gushes about how sweet the swan boy is, that he looks out for his female friends by getting them tampons, then it hits her in the middle of like doing the dishes.
Edward is a curious case. I feel like on one hand he’d be a little confused (sheltered white boy from the 1800s) but then on the other I just don’t think he’d like.. ask? Like he fully accepts his boyfriend as a man but the first time they have sex he just pauses for a split second after they get their clothes off and then immediately resumes. Like he would probably just accept that the discrepancy between swan’s presentation and genitals is just something that happens to modern people now. Like with “oops all berries” cereal or the happy accident that made a lot of modern baked goods so good. Idk I just… t-boy swan…
So I’m not at all qualified to make any sweeping claims about DID or any disorders since I’m not professionally trained nor do I know the full intricacies of what causes dissociative disorders but like
Disclaimer aside, it’s the weirdest fucking feeling to find out that someone who had an inappropriate relationship with you and who hurt you in very personal ways is now claiming to have DID.
like I knew you for four years and now that you’re away from me you’re setting up a persona online of this cool edgy emo man with DID? I saw you in your darkest moments and it was still YOU. What the hell
does anyone have any tips to help cope or understand why people do this?
Friendly reminders to cis fanfic writers that afab≠woman
Afab means assigned female at birth so this includes/can include cis women, trans men, transmasc people, nonbinary people, and intersex people.
If you’re making a fic where the reader is a woman, uses she/her, wears feminine clothing, etc. tag it as fem reader instead.
I’ve been smacked in the face as a trans man by reading fics tagged afab thinking it will be gender neutral, but the reader is actually a woman and I’m disappointed because I was ready for a fic I thought would apply to me.
Have fun writing and make sure you’re tagging your fics properly, ty <3
the best realisation I’ve ever had was waking up to the fact that I do not have to go to bat for celebrities.
I don’t have to spend my precious time being angry because someone believes in a different story than I do. I can have my beliefs and they can have theirs because stupid celebrity stuff doesn’t matter as much as the media wants you to think.
stop defending Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively and Justin, stop justifying Johnny Depp or Amber Heard taking your time and happiness. Stop trying to make excuses for Kanye West and go outside.
it’s hard to choose to be happy because it’s not really a choice, it’s a conservation effort. Conserve your anger for political changes that affect you and go to protests. Stop slinging mud for people who don’t know you exist.
they’re not actually that big of plot holes if you consider just how bigoted this society is against supers.
Firstly, tony didn’t have a plan. I don’t believe either side when they say he was thinking about killing or capturing Bucky because that man was not thinking. From his lines and the way he’s brutally lashing out against both Steve and Bucky (his fighting here is reminiscent of how he fought against Killian in Iron man 3) tony is simply acting off of grief. Even the line “do you even remember them?” is indicative that he isn’t thinking properly because he doesn’t even respond to Bucky’s line: “I remember them all.” And the ending line of “My dad made that shield” / “You don’t deserve it” is just him lashing out. Tony didn’t have a plan, he was just lashing out at the people he blamed for his parents’ deaths.
To your point about Bucky being assumed guilty.
They were not in the United States. Not all justice systems operate on “innocent until proven guilty”, especially when there’s a Photo Of You Doing The Crime. And the photo of Zemo dressed up as Bucky made it pretty clear who probably did it
Because Nat dumped the files online, everyone knows about Winter Soldier’s kill streak. They know that he worked for Hydra, and he’s proven himself to be dangerous. Pretty much nobody but Steve and his circle would know that Bucky was brainwashed, the governments only knew he worked for Hydra.
The us government was freshly hydra-free. That manipulation and thinking would still be present in how they operate. Think about it like this
These countries just put the Accords in place, only to be attacked immediately by a superhuman threat. What would be a better way to show how beneficial these accords are, than to apprehend this threat with your non-super armies. The UN had something to prove in front of the entire world.
Not even mentioning the fact that everyone automatically believed the video mysterio made, proving that these people turn on their beloved heroes in a second. It might be Disney-etic writing but it could also be a way to bring a watered-down version of anti-Mutant bigotry into the movies. Most of these aren’t plot holes, they’re just signs of a corrupt people.
Team Iron man fans saying that Steve was wrong for not telling Tony that Bucky killed his parents but honestly, seeing how Tony handled finding out about it, I wouldn't have told him either. Tony was already willing to throw bucky into prison or an institution IMAGINE what he would've done if he found out bucky killed his parents while they still had him in custody. Steve was doing what he always has done, protect Bucky.
People openly supporting the revenge killing of a man who had NO control over his life for the past 70 years and wasn't even conscious for the majority of it because of something he did WHILE BRAINWASHED is insane to me.
(also please don't attack me I'm just stating my opinion TwT)
That’s chill
Even my little pony did “monstrous wolf” better how did vivzie screw this up so bad?
Loona’s feral form is so fucking horrible. It would’ve been so easy to make her look like an actual demonic hound instead of this furry abomination.
Vivziepop is so afraid of letting her female characters look monstrous or animalistic. They always have to be conventionally attractive regardless of what form they’re in.
Holy shit. The Israeli whistleblower story CNN just broke is insane. I cannot believe what I’m reading
