Sorry Professor I Could Not Do This Assignment. There Are Fictional Characters In My Head.

The cookie dough fandom is dying reblog if you like it wet and raw

“wow i can’t believe a trans cat girl hacked and leaked the no-fly list. the way we came about this information is so absurd, it’s funny” 🤝 “the actual information that was leaked is abhorrently racist, specifically towards middle eastern and south asian people. that is absolutely not funny and needs to be spoken about without the absurdity of the situation dominating the conversation”

People can't understand why Will freezes in s4 when watching El get bullied cuz the show never cuts to Will's trauma as its happening, but they understand crystal clear why El freezes up after hitting Angela cuz the show splices her Brenner trauma in between Mike's accusatory tone being thrown at her.

They're so quick to forget that Will was kidnapped and possessed so he's probably gonna go into shock when faced with bullies who trigger that freeze response. And it's only cuz the show doesn't remind us with flashbacks that Will went and is still going through it. But El's trauma gets visually addressed all the time compared to Will and she's not seen as a crybaby when she's triggered.

We still don't know what Will had to do in s1 to survive for a week in the UD cuz it's never visually shown like how El meets One and how she was othered even in the lab by the other kids. All of Will's trauma besides s2 possession is implicitly offscreen/word of mouth while El's is explicitly expressed onscreen. People sympathized with Will in s2 cuz they saw his pain blatantly, but once s3/4 happened, amnesia hit cuz Will isn't fighting for his life as hard anymore so his reactions are viewed as childish/annoying instead of after effects of being targeted twice.

Compared to El; GA sees her witness bad men kill the 1st person to help her, see her remember she has a sister in Kali and that her mother tried to save her from the rainbow room once, see El feel horrible that Hopper's "dead" and wonder if she killed those kids in s4. We never got to see Will's reaction to finding out Bob died, which was a father figure to him too like Hopper to El. We never see Will's reaction to being a pawn in killing those soldiers.

For s5 I'm glad it's Will-centric cuz last time in s2 when Will was the focus, people cared for him and understood he was a boy who needed comfort.

Tbh I feel like a lot more trans mlw would want to identify as transhet if yall didn't treat straight trans men like absolute shit. Like, me and multiple other transmascs I know tried to force ourselves to be comfortable identifying as a lesbian because we didn't want to become straight men, friends had told us we better not end up being straight men, we didn't want to lose our queer identity but straight masculinity is seen as incompatible with queerness. So we tried being lesbian trans men. And exclusionists would rather scream "male lesbians are bad and evil" than address and try to dismantle the transandrophobia that leads so many trans mlw to identify as lesbians rather than straight trans men.

(For clarity, not all lesbian trans men identify that way out of external pressure or internalized transandrophobia, and i don't think every one of them should switch to identifying as a straight trans man. I just find it interesting that exclusionists would rather spew hate than actually help trans mlw)

I think it needs to become common knowledge that "inability to read social cues" can show up as overcompensating.

You don't know how much misbehaviour is allowed, so you become the perfect child who never tests rules.

You don't know if someone is irritated with you, so you'll be extra generous and self-effacing.

You don't know how much is expected of you at work so you'll kill yourself in a minimum-wage job and not notice that nobody else is working like this.

"Hardworking and quiet" should be as much of an autism red flag as "ignores rules and doesn't know when to stop talking". Or why don't we just start using words to communicate so i can stop tracking everybody's eyebrow twitches, that would be great.
