two crows return to visit the place where, together, they learned what it means to fly
(originally for @/hqnationalszine on twitter! i need the version of me that drew this to return from whatever plane of existence they went to lmao)
the men and boys are innocent too.
we cry "the innocent women and children" to appeal to the masses, to try and force their sympathy, but the men and boys are innocent too.
I have seen sons crying out for their mothers, their fathers, their siblings. I have seen them break down at the loss of their families. I have seen them cling to their dead and grieve.
I have seen fathers cradle their dead children, seen them kiss their faces and hold their little hands. I have seen them faint with grief when asked to identify the dead. I have seen them carry their sons and daughters. I have seen them fasting to provide what little they can for their families.
I have seen men and boys digging through the rubble with just their bare hands, I have seen them comforting strangers, playing with children, rocking them, hushing them, even if the face of such imminent danger. I have seen them cry, seen them grieve, seen them break down into each other's arms, seen them be selfless, beyond selfless, becoming something I don't have a word for.
I have seen the men who are doctors refuse to leave their patients, even when they have no medicine or supplies to give them, even when they're threatened with bombings. I have seen fathers who have lost all their children pick orphans up into their arms and proclaim them their child so they are not alone. I have seen men and boys digging pets out of the rubble.
the men are innocent too. the men and boys are being hurt and killed too. the men and boys are grieving too. the men and boys are scared too. the men and boys are fighting to save their people too. the men and boys deserve to be fought for too.
If you see this on your dashboard, reblog this, NO MATTER WHAT and all your dreams and wishes will come true.
this doesn’t have a fake answer and i know earnest polls get reblogged less. but uh…… what if i ask nicely.
good things will happen 🧿
things that are meant to be will fall into place 🧿
Helena by My Chemical Romance fits perfectly the Todorokis dynamic with Dabi :( look:
Long ago
Just like the hearse you die to get in again
We are so far from you
These are but quiet, mournful whispers from Rei. The music's barely there and you can feel both the distance and her resolution. It's the rawness of the words, the haunting echo. She's watching her son not only being suicidal again, but he's attempting to bring her whole family down with him.
He's not their old Toya, kid Toya anymore.
Burning on
Just like the match you strike to incinerate
The lives of everyone you know
Here you can listen to Enji's shock and disbelief, the way the world fall apart over him, raining like ashes. He keeps on burning and burning but he can't do but stare at this— this killer, this perfectly alive Toya who's dancing while proclaiming he's doing whatever it takes to make him suffer. Even if it hurts his siblings, he doesn't care.
They burn and burn and burn.
And what's the worst you take (worst you take)
From every heart you break? (heart you break)
And like the blade you stain (blade you stain)
Well, I've been holding on tonight
Natsuo's genuinely heartbroken upon discovering the things Toya has done, the person he has now become. It sounds like an accusation and a prayer, like Shoto trying to understand the reason behind his brother's choices, trying to reach his heart.
They echoed each other, balancing over the line between hope (mayhe he can come back home) and anguish (maybe we are too late to save him).
What's the worst that I can say?
Things are better if I stay
So long and goodnight
So long, not goodnight
Fuyumi is the one who can't believe that easily. He loves her brother Toya, but is that her brother or the monster his wounds made out of his corpse?
There's strength in there. You feel the guitar in your chest, steady. A decision, taken not without pain, but a decision nonetheless. The farwell is said twice, voice breaking in the goodnight. It's as many times as she's watched him take the path that leads to his demise, his destruction.

Sometimes autism is beautiful.
But autism is ALWAYS a disorder. There are good parts along with the bad, but it ALWAYS causes disorder to one's life, even in the good times. That, and it can be absolutely soul crushing sometimes. There are genuinely autistics out there that can never live independently because of their autism. They aren't making excuses. And they should not be silenced for this new movement that seems to think autism is all fun and games.
Disclaimers:
I am a diagnosed autistic
I have family that's autistic
I tried not to use too many stereotypes, and instead included most of what I experieced plus some things I've seen around the community.
Not every autistic is the same, and some will experience most of these, while others will experience less. That is normal.
DO NOT self diagnose off of my Tumblr post. If you resonate with any of these, please go do some actual research, and IF YOU HAVE THE MEANS, go talk to a professional.
