SO REAL!!
FORGET ABOUT SMUT. PLEASE I AM TIRED OF IT. I NEED ANGST. I NEED GUT WRENCHING EMOTIONAL TURMOIL THAT MAKES ME SICK TO MY STOMACH. I NEED TO BAWL JUST FROM THINKING ABOUT IT.
Abandon My Eulogy Ford is never going to be able to read poetry again. I'm being serious.
He read "Do not stand at my grave and weep" and immediately started weeping. He tried Emily Dickinson, and he was out cold—no more Stanford, just a sad pile of jello.
Stan is going to be chilling out, doing whatever he does, and then he has Stanford sticking to him like glue because he happened to read a poem about death.
It's a tough relife out there fr.
Every once in a while Ford will just sway into whatever room Stan is in and just. Stare. For a prolonged period until Stan looks up and is like "poetry again?" And Ford just silently nods.
SO much of poetry is about grief of some kind its frankly ridiculous-> (spoken as some who writes and consumes poetry near constantly)
Poor Ford is just trying to wind down to go to bed at a reasonable time and is hit with the full force of poets and their abilities in making you Feel Emotions
“Autism doesn’t cause low empathy! In fact we’re all just hyperempathetic we’re not bad peo-“
SHUT UP. SHUT UP. SHUT UP.
There’s a few things going on with this statement.
1. Assuming that low empathy makes someone a bad person. It does not. Actions are what matter, not empathy levels.
2. Demonizing autistic people whose low/no empathy they attribute to their autism. Autism fundamentally impacts the way you interact with the world, others, and yourself. That includes empathy.
Anyway I love you people with low/no empathy this is a safe space for you <3
Signed,
A very pissed off autistic person with fluctuating empathy levels
