Can We Just Take A Couple Minutes To Talk About How Perfect Elijah’s Story Line Is.

Can we just take a couple minutes to talk about how perfect Elijah’s story line is.

Elijah shows up in the story very close to the end and is “marketed” as missys boyfriend. He is used as character development for missy and the creators understand that. They even reference in the first episode that is an “Elijah” story. (Season 6, episode 8, asexual healing, 4 minutes in)

This episode is the first Elijah based episode and is one of my favourites from the whole show. Elijah’s whole character is so well put together and we really get to see that from this episode on.

In this episode Elijah figures out that he is asexual through his aunt after confiding in her that he doesn’t feel sexual attraction toward missy.

He of course goes on to the internet to get more information and (suprinsingly) it helps him find out more with only a little bit of white supremacy.

That episode has multiple plots.

The A plot is meant to be Andrew going all the way to Vermont to see Bernie (I think) but you just forget about it because of how influential Elijah’s story is.

Some of my favourite points from that episode include:

Breaking the fourth wall

Elijah’s aunt

The absolute confusion of Elijah when his uncles talk about sexual shit.

The fact that the show explains how asexuality is a spectrum and how people who are asexual can enjoy masturbation.

- also love the convo that comes out when missy catches him and him explaining to her what it means and the difference for him.

The fact that Elijah is a catholic and asexual and it’s not even questioned

The butterflies

Honorable mention: the C plot of Jessi learning about gender roles

The fact that Elijah is a straight asexual man is so perfect. It really shows how asexuality can be both a sexuality in itself (like me :)) or a part of your sexuality (like Elijah)

In short, if you’re going to watch any episode of big mouth. This is THE BEAT ONE!!!

Also, Connie and monte la song is so good I. This episode :)

Here’s something I wrote for English:

Three passions I live for.

To live for nothing is the same as to not live. The passions that rule my life are to live, to learn, and to long. To live in a way that inspires future generations of my family is what drives me to reach goals that do not seem possible considering how I live currently. To learn the ways of past generations and to learn how to be sustainable for the future of humanity, and to learn the ways of the academics who have provided the information I seek to acquire in my life. To long for a family and friends and a career is what drives me to seek new things and to brave the world and search for adventure.

I have wished to live a life that brings pride to future generations and my future descendants. I wish to live to put my mark on the world and to make a difference. To wish to live is a wish that is both constantly and never fulfilled. Wishing to live is fulfilled every morning I wake up and let my feet hit the ground. It is fulfilled every time I take a breath and let the air flow through my nose into my windpipe and fill my lungs. It is fulfilled with every connection I make and every skill I learn. Wishing to live can never be fulfilled until one day I don't wake up one morning and can't let my breath through my nose, into my windpipe and to fill my lungs and can't make any more connections or use any more skills. You do not live until you sit at the end of your life and think, "wow i really lived." and even at the end of your life when your breaths come hard and connections are weak you still will sit and wonder if your connections were enough to make your mark, if your skills will be passed on.

The wish for my skills to be passed on encourages the need to learn. The need to learn every skill and to become a master of every skill you lay a hand on. Treating every skill we learn like a piece of coal, brought up from a cave by our mothers and fathers and mentors, for us to turn into a diamond with the pressure of our own two hands. As we enhance our skills we refine that diamond until we can place it in a display of works that can be taught to our children and nieces and nephews and grandchildren. Passing down the diamonds that represent our skills to these younger generations so they can keep refining the diamond. Our diamonds get passed down and that is the mark we leave on our children. We learn the skills of our ancestors through diamonds passed through our families. We learn the way of the future through the coal we are gifted. In the end I will have a display of diamonds and a collection of skills that will be useful not only to me but to the future of my blood.

Seeking these collections of skills come from longing. I long for skills and I long for a life that fits the paradise I have imagined. I long for a career that comes from skills. Skills sharpened to give an advantage over the competition. The need to learn to follow the flow of the bustling web of people surrounding me clashing with the wish to live in an impactful way. The longing for both trying to break free from inside. We long for an opportunity to be memorable to our generation and to future generations.

Living and learning and longing are my passions. Living for the opportunity to make a mark, learning skills to pass on and longing for a perfect life may seem future oriented, yet, these have given me reason to live. These three concepts, simple in saying however hard in practice, have brought a purpose to my life. To live for future generations for me is to live for the product of what I have done and what I have become.

Do any other neurodivergent people get VERY attached to how peples names are in their phone.

For example I had my bestie, @grey-loves-dragons name in my phone as aer name then in brackets the word work, because I met them at work. I recently changed it to bestie with some emojis and now I can't ajust and look through all my contacts trying to find their contact and then I get upset when I remeber I changed it and that now its different.

What is it called when you are sex repulsed but only when it comes to real life. Like my little guys on paper or the little guys on the screen having sex is ok because they don’t exist and can’t actually have sex

But even hinting at sex in real life is icky it’s gross. It’s unwanted. It’s bad
