i've never understood the argument "I just can't use they/them for a singular person, it's grammatically incorrect." first of all that's not even factually correct, it's grammatically correct. second of all, why do you care more about grammar than the mental health and well-being of other people? grammar is fake, we made it up. other people and their feelings are real. reconsider your priorities
The one thing I think I could legitimately see myself wanting to do if I had any political clout whatsoever: I'd seek to censor Scary Material. Maybe not outright ban it, but make it so much easier for people who hate it to avoid it. I'm talking abilities to completely hide scary things from your vision when you're online, I'm talking banning it from all the main cable channels, I'm talking about finding ways to minimise the damage horror can do to people with sensitive nerves. In some ways, it sounds like I'm saying horror should be kind of treated similarly to how people treat stuff like porn. And I guess I kind of am. If sexually explicit material is blocked by parental controls and isn't allowed to be seen on the airwaves, then horror shouldn't be either. It's as simple as that.
I need compensation for the amount of feelings I’ve developed when I look at bucky barnes.
There needs to be a warning label on him. ‘Warning: cute aggression may occur. Obsession is highly likely. Very addicting substance’ etc.
interviewer: you usually play the hero Sebastian: what movies are you watching?
In Labyrinth he literally puts himself in mortal danger to help someone he just met, simply because it's the right thing to do. In The Martian he's a brilliant doctor willing to put his life at risk to bring a crew mate home. In The Last Full Measure he fights to have a fallen hero's actions posthumously rewarded even though he didn't even want the case at first. In Destroyer he (spoiler alert!) dies trying to do the right thing (and yes I'm aware he was gonna take the money and run with his partner before, but he still tried to save people). Half his fucking career at this point is Bucky, and if anyone wants to try to tell me he's not a hero, you can fuck yourself.
Seb, baby, what movies are you watching?
Neurotypical after a successful social interaction: That was fun, it was great to see them again!
Me after a successful social interaction: I made such a normal amount of eye contact. I deserve some cheese.
some days i'm okay, and then i remember that not only are steve and bucky so in love it hurts, not only are they best-friends-since-childhood, inseparable by definition, they are first and foremost family. and not by blood either - they found each other. they chose each other.
and that's literally all they've been telling each other throughout the entire fucking trilogy
“I choose you”
“I choose you”
“I choose you”
“I choose you”
“I choose you”
“I choose you”
“I choose you”
“I choose you”
AND BY THIS POINT I'M NOT OKAY ANYMORE
Thunderstorms were sent from Neurodivergent hell to terrorize autistic people (me) and it’s honestly ableist🌪️⛈️
