People Can't Understand Why Will Freezes In S4 When Watching El Get Bullied Cuz The Show Never Cuts To

“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”

the father, the son, and the holy fucking bingle :3

sing up to this totally legit pyramid scheme- i mean talent show down below, link in the description

The people who get angry at Will for not stepping in when El was getting bullied really know nothing about trauma responses do they??

It was literally confirmed in s2 with Will's episodes that he has a mix of freeze responses and flight responses when faced with things he perceives as dangerous. El's bullies reminded him of his bullies and his brain perceived them as dangerous so he froze and locked up. That isn't his fault. That is just his trauma response. He's not a bad brother for not stepping in and beating up El's bullies. And it's clear how much he loves El and how heartbroken he felt for her. When she had her project ruined, he ran up to her crying and promising they'd fix it together.

Will is not a bad brother. Y'all just don't understand PTSD or anything about trauma and stress responses.

It's either "I must do this thing RIGHT NOW or I'm going to lose it" or "the stars and planets aren't in perfect positions so it'll happen when that happens" and nothing in between.

sorry professor I could not do this assignment. there are fictional characters in my head.

some of u reblog the most ableist posts without even realizing n it's so sad.

"you're depressed bc ur an adult who doesn't exercise n u only eat pre-made meals which is also why ur in pain all the time" bruh have u heard of being disabled? if i exercise i will get worse. regardless of food (which takes a lot of time/money/energy to prepare, not to mention food restrictions some of us need to find a way around!!) or exercise i am still in pain every day.

i was in pain when i played basketball at a national level at 14 and when i ran over 1h every day and also went to the gym at 21 and when i rode my bike a minimum of 40km up and down hills daily at 23 AND i am in less pain now at 25 bc I've learned not to push my body beyond it's limit.

"you're depressed because adult humans need to have sex" like that's the most ridiculous take I've ever heard lmao maybe U need to have sex to avoid depression and maybe some of us cannot have sex for traumatic reasons which will trigger even more depression. maybe things aren't black n white u should not be spreading such misinformation?

i beg yall ableds to pick up a book on the relation between trauma & pain & capitalism and also, while I'm at it, to fucking stop putting neurodivergencies on the same level as for e.g. spinal cord injuries. it ain't the same!

obviously a balanced diet + physical exercise can seriously improve some people's lives but not all of us have the capacity to make that happen. not all of us have the self sufficiency let alone external help to enjoy such privileges. just... be kinder & be careful with the info ur putting out there?

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.
