i love anathema

i think as a fandom we do not give anathema enough credit. first off. - my girl has a PhD at nineteen

- that's right, it's Dr. Anathema Device

- she carries a foot-long knife on her at all times

- her bike is called Phaeton. a phaeton is a type of carriage. it has two horses and an open roof

- her first word was nice, her second was accurate. her first sentence was this:

I tell ye thif, and I charge ye with my wordes. Four shalle ryde, and Four shalle alfo ryde, and Three sharl ryde the Skye as twixt, and Wonne shal ryde in flames; and theyr shall be no stopping themme: not fish, nor rayne, nor rode, neither Deville nor Angel. And ye shalle be theyr alfo, Anathema.

- she spells like it's the 1600s

- she looks 'vivacious' idek abt that one

- she drew on the title page of the Book. she DREW in THE NICE AND ACCURATE PROPHECIES OF AGNES NUTTER.

- I can't do better than the actual quote for this one:

"Other members of the family had said that Agnes made things obscure to conceal them from the understanding of outsiders; Anathema, who suspected she could occasionally think like Agnes, had privately decided that it was because Agnes was a bloody-minded old bitch with a mean sense of humor."

- she's an actual witch

- she's nineteen? like my girl is doing all that at NINETEEN.

- when she loses The Book she methodically looks for it, then chaotically looks for it, then melodramatically falls to her knees and bemoans the situation then looks around because DRAMATIC STRUCTURE dictates The Book should be there

Thanks for coming to my ted talk, Yours, an anathema fan.

The idea that being autistic is now “trendy” and a diagnosis can give you social clout is so laughably divorced from reality. I can assure you that beyond Extremely Online Niche Communities, autism is still incredibly stigmatized. You can lose custody battles over your children or be coerced into a conservatorship based on an autism diagnosis in America in 2024, “Autistic” is still very much used as an insult among edgy teens, and I’m seeing the r-slur have a bit of a resurgence. I, an autistic adult, am afraid to tell employers about my diagnosis lest my superiors treat me like a child or decide that I’m not a “culture fit” and fire me. There are still “treatment” centers that use electric shocks on their autistic charges, and autistic students die in “quiet rooms” (aka solitary for disabled kids) at schools or end up being murdered outright by their caregivers for being “too much”. In many scenarios, it is unpleasant or unsafe to be visibly autistic, and the idea that people are somehow gaining “clout” with their autism diagnoses is a gigantic slap in the face to the many autistic people who are being subjected to horrific ableism right now.

Neurodivergent alt kids joking about “Autistic Rizz” on The Clock App do not an accepting mainstream society make. Please go outside.

extremely fucked up that one of the symptoms of adhd is forgetfulness and difficulty sticking to habits and schedules and one of the best ways to alleviate those symptoms is by remembering to take a pill every morning at the same time
