I'm Built Different. Like Incorrectly I Think

This is why I don’t tell 99% people im bisexual

if your weird enough with the homies you can break all boundaries of platonic/romantic love and make a third, more evil thing

Please make art. You don't have to bare your soul or make a masterpiece, you can be silly and you can be derivative if you want. You don't even have to show it to anyone. Just please make something, it's so good for you

Me starting to copy the random noises my friends make

Sometimes it's actually less Cringe to be like, "Yeah I love this children's show made for children" than to get so insecure about it you're like "No you don't understand it's SO DAAAARK and SERIOUS and DICTATORSHIP STATE ALLEGORY"

If I see that cowboy flesh hat and one more goddamn time

I need to follow less people permanently arguing with strangers and more people saying shit like "I would be the first person to sit down with Thomas the Tank Engine and truly listen."

Tired of the eternal bullshit from tttetwt. Saw a person on my TL I thought I'd muted for Reasons and sure enough when I saw them I was immediately annoyed all over again for their horrible take sometime last year—not only did they not realise Henry was seen by many as a disabled icon, upon learning it they denied that this was even possible because "Awdry didn't write him to represent that."

First of all, Theory of the Author and their Degrees and Deadness and all that.

But also? That's what makes Henry's arc hit so fucking hard? The extra oomph of him being written off by everyone—even his own creator thought he was inconvenient and it was better for him to die.

That his character survived Awdry's intent to quietly kill him off (due to the publishers' interests, of course—chance—but also in conjunction with all the young readers who wrote fan letters expressing their love for Henry!) is why we LOVE him.

The invisibly disabled often feel abandoned or hated by God/universe. Is it any wonder they feel such a connection to a character whose (capital-C?) Creator was also like "oh fuck, how embarrassing to have made a mistake like this guy, better let him suffer and die"?

In the end, even Awdry—though at first he was basically bullied into giving Henry some real attention—had to back down and acknowledge Henry as the "Enterprising Engine."

Is it any wonder that people resonate with this icon who eventually showed up GOD HIMSELF?

i would give him all my money but he wouldnt take it because he is a train ❤️ he doesnt need money
