Make. Them. Say. What. They. Mean.

When your dad tries to guilt trip you into visiting him: “well I guess I’ll just spend the weekend all by myself...”

You say “glad to know we’re on the same page.” Slowly, he will have to adapt to just outright telling you what he thinks instead of playing mind games.

When your friend tries to hint that they’re mad at you without saying anything: “Oh, I’m fine, clearly you don’t need to worry about me,”

You say: “I’m glad you’re doing well. Call me if you want to talk, though!” Soon enough, they will accept that they can’t be passive aggressive with you.

When your boyfriend says: “All your friends are great, I really love *insert male friend* especially.”

You say: “I’m so glad you like my friends! I should invite them back soon.” He needs to understand that if he has a problem with your friends, he needs to just voice his concerns instead of being sarcastic and accusatory.

As someone who has lived through several toxic relationships and has an abusive father, I think one of the most important manipulation tools a toxic person has is excessive subtext and hidden meanings in their conversation. It hides all of the actual fighting from the eyes of onlookers while still hurting you, which is scary and makes you feel like you’re making it all up. Don’t put up with this bs. Make them stop hiding.

Make. Them. Say. What. They. Mean.

Please Reblog to Save A Life

Last week my brother was in a car accident. He was hit by a drunk driver. He sadly lost his life after a two and a half day fight in critical condition. He was my best friend. We did everything together; we travelled, listened to @taylorswift and had heart to heart talks. I can’t help but to stress how things could have been different.

Before taking the wheel of a car, ensure you are not intoxicated. If you go out to drink, arrange alternate transportation to get home, like an Uber or taxi. This can not only save your life, but also the lives of other innocent people.

Please do not drive while under the influence of drugs or alcohol. Reblog this to save a life today!

I NEED this as a fic NOW!!😱

What if… Steve has a power that attracts people to him. He has to guard his heart because he’s just never sure that love is real or because of his magnetism. But it’s useful in the job as perps change their tune when Steve whammies them. When Steve begins to notice small things about Danny and how he acts around him, he assumes it’s because of his powers seeping out when they weren’t supposed to, maybe it’s something to do with exposure. But what Steve doesn’t know is that Danny has powers too that he hasn’t told anyone about. Danny has immunities. Poisons, viruses, serums, even vaccines and medicines don’t work on him. And that probably extends to superpowers because he knows Steve has no affect on him….

What a Fandom should be:

“I came for the family dynamics in the show, I stayed for the family dynamics in the fandom TBH”

@thethistlegirl and I were just talking about the MacGyver fandom, and I had to share this little bit of our conversation. (@thethistlegirl , I hope you don’t mind my quoting you :p)

Shout out to every corner of this little but lovely fandom:

Y'all are all so wonderful 💗

It is so rare and so wonderful to find a show, not to mention a fandom, that attracts and keeps the interest of such different perspectives on the characters - hardcore MacDalton shippers, fans who enjoy exploring a brotherly or father/son dynamic between Mac and Jack, Murdoc lovers, et al - but doesn’t explode in shipwars or character hate or shaming or anything childish and melodramatic and unpleasant like that.

I feel just as much among friends reading the amazing gen fics by @thehemingwaygoldfish , @bands-space-and-monsters-oh-my and @thethistlegirl and @tomminowrites as reading the amazing MacDalton fics and thoughts of @telltaleclerk and @becauseimawinchester and @wild-chaser and @cherikfan . Then there’s the super nice readers and the art… (@sky-larking , @freighttraininmybrain , @thisgameissonintendo , @bxmyaxsthxtic…)

Don’t mind me :p Just over here emoting. Some fandoms are damned hard, and it is such a pleasure being in this one!
