the commodification of friendship is the most annoying thing to come out of the internet in ages. like actually i love to break this to you but you're supposed to help your friends move even if it's hard work. or stay up with them when they're sad even if you're gonna lose sleep. you're supposed to listen to their fears and sorrows even if it means your own mind takes on a little bit of that weight. that's how you know that you care. they will drive you to the airport and then you will make them soup when they're sick. you're supposed to make small sacrifices for them and they are supposed to do that for you. and there's actually gonna be rough patches for both of you where the balance will be uneven and you will still be friends and it will not be unhealthy and they will not be abusive. life is not meant to be an endless prioritization of our own comfort if it was we would literally never get anywhere ever. jesus.
Here are some scientific facts about blood loss for all you psychopaths writers out there.
one thing that I don’t see talked about often is headmates with different body types in the innerworld and how it can be difficult to adjust to the body
so here’s a shout out to:
alters that are plus sized within the innerworld but in a skinny body
alters that are skinny within the innerworld but in a plus sized body
alters with nonhuman features within the innerworld but in a human body
alters that are tall within the innerworld but in a short body
alters that are short within the innerworld but in a tall body
alters that have a different skin tone within the innerworld than the body
and anyone else I forgot!
I know that we aren’t actually how we see ourselves in the innerworld, though it can be a struggle to adjust to the body and come to terms with the fact that we are not how we perceive ourselves

Demonology and the Tri-Phasic Model of Trauma.

“She would sit here, with Crowley. She would sit, in compassionate honesty, with him. She would sit with him, for as long as he needed, as long as it took for him to feel safe enough to emerge from his cocoon.”
Inspired by the same name fanfic by Nnm on ao3, you can read it here:
Words cannot describe how much impact this beautiful fan-fiction has on me. It gave me the courage to pick up my own tree, one day it’ll become a forest too, just like Aubrey’s. Thank you.

me in class be like: so sorry everyone no it wasn't a hydroflask it was just my cane hitting a chair... then another chair... then a table... then the floor- so sorry!
to my dearest cane: politely, PLEASE stop slipping off tables and making big banging noises. the cafe does not need to think an entire rack of cutlery has hit the floor
plural culture is what do you mean it's not normal to make logical assumptions about all your life. what do you mean you're supposed to remember

The way to avoid being a celebrity dick rider is to understand that no one rich AND famous AND influential makes it in those industries without at the very least knowing where some bodies are buried, keeping quiet about some exploitation or abuse, or making friendships and connections with the kind of people who are doing the lion's share of destroying the planet. And that at a certain point, they have more in common with elites than the ordinary people who support them. And also, they're going to be an unavoidable part of your media landscape unless you disengage completely from popular culture and alienate yourself from anyone who touches it. And also, your response to a celebrity's fuckshit is never as important to your response to the same fuckshit in your own community that you have direct influence over and the ability to organize around.
It is inherently fun and sexy to say statements that swap the traditional genders of pronouns and terms mid-statement, such as: "I'm going to make him my wife" "She's my boyfriend" "Who says a guy can't be a pretty princess?" "That girl's the coolest dude I've ever met" "She's a madman who has to be stopped" "It's not his fault he's a material girl" Gender is a set of watercolors and the prettiest shades come from mixing the paints together.
