Early Criminal Minds (seasons 1-5) Is So Fucking Funny If You Think About It From The Perspective Of

school was ... interesting i guess. first thing i did when i got home was lock myself in my room and cry myself to sleep and then took a short nap for about 6 hours. so unfortunately i only just started the second book, but some favourites of mine from the first book were when andrew and neil meet for the first time, the foxes inability to give him even one (1) straight answer, andrew telling everyone he's going to break neil only to adopt him 10 chapters later, neil being like 👀 whenever andrew does something even remotely violent, when Coach said "don't you dare be more afraid of me than you are of andrew", "desperation was a valuable lubricant", Renee in general, andrew being andrew, when neil stood up to riko the first time and when andrew promised neil to have his back

If you want I'll keep you updated but I think I'm going to take another short nap now

that is like the worst possible time you could have started aftg SDJKHGOKSHGKJSDHG good luck you'll need it

i have so many thoughts about the ending of Narnia, when they fall back through the wardrobe and into the spare room.

What does Narnia think? When their kings and queens vanish? Do they wait for them, the same as they wait for Aslan? Do they think they've been abandoned? Do they search tirelessly? How long does it take for them to give up hope, if they ever do?

And what about the Pevensies? How do they handle suddenly being thrown back into the past? Do their memories blur? Do they struggle with being children again, when their hearts and minds are already so grown? Do they turn to a friend only to remember that they're not there? Do they whisper to trees and ask animals their names and wait in silence before remembering that this is not the world they know?

Does Edmund flinch at Turkish Delights, or the brush of winter? Does Susan ache when someone calls her gentle? Does she ever miss the weight of her bow? Does Peter miss the weight of his sword? Does Lucy ever hear a song and think of Tumnus? Do they all stand straighter, mindlessly keeping their crowns balanced before remembering they aren't there?

Do they struggle with the harsh lack of magic in this new-old world? Do they dream of Narnia and wake up in tears, a hole in their chest that nothing can really fill?

They spent a lifetime in that world, fighting for it and ruling it, learning the laws of magic and royalty; is that something they ever forget?

GenZ culture is Wanting to talk about your real issues with your family, but refusing to because you’ll be told its because of that damn phone.

GenZ culture is considering self harm but never doing it because you don’t want to be shamed by everyone except other GenZ’s

GenZ culture is having your childhood ripped away by all the problems in life that the older generations started

GenZ culture is wanting to kill yourself but never doing it because there are too many fucked up things in this world to fix first

GenZ culture is being treated like a child, even though your right to be one has been ripped away

GenZ culture is Joking about having depression with your friends, but wondering if it’s really just a joke

GenZ culture is sad

But GenZ culture is the most accepting

GenZ culture is not understanding how people can just Judge based on sexuality, race, or looks. It’s not knowing why there has to be people like this in the world.

GenZ culture is ready to fight back

I think Tabula Rasa is a good episode based purely on the confirmation that if Zelenka lost all his memory and sense of propriety he would simply turn into a feral little man, no questions asked

kids remind me, often, of the things i've taught myself out of.

i have a big dog. he looks like a deer. he is taller than most young children. while we were on a trail the other day, a boy coming our direction saw us and froze. he took a step back and said: "i'm feeling nervous. your - your dog is kind of big."

goblin and i both stopped walking immediately. "he is kind of a big dog," i admitted. "he's called a greyhound. they are gentle but they are pretty tall, which is kind of scary, you're right. their legs are so long because they are made for running fast. i am sorry we scared you. would you like us to stand still while you move past us, or would you feel more safe in your body if we move and you stay still?'

"oh. i didn't know that about - greyhounds. i think i ... i want to stay still," he said. at this point, his adult had caught up to us. "i'm nervous about the dog," he told her, "so i'm - i'm gonna stay still." she didn't argue. she didn't make fun of him. she just smiled at him and at me and held his hand while goblin and i, with as wide of a berth as we could make, crept our way through.

behind us, i heard him exhale a deep breath and kind of laugh - "he was really big, huh? she said it's because greyhounds have to go fast."

"he was big," she said. "i understand why that could have made you a little scared."

"yeah. next time i - next time do you think i could maybe ask to touch him? when - i mean, next time, maybe, if i'm not nervous."

later, going to a work event, in the big city, i stood outside, trembling. my social anxiety as a caught bird in my chest. i took a deep breath and turned to my coworker. she's not even really my friend yet. i told her: "i feel nervous about this. i am not used to meeting new people, ever since covid."

she laughed, but not in a mean way. she said she was nervous too. she reached her hand out and held mine, and we both took another deep breath and walked in like that, interlinked. a few people asked us - together? - and i told the truth: i feel nervous, and she's helping. over and over i watched people relax too, admitting i feel really kind of shy lately actually, thank you for saying that.

the next time i go to an event, and i feel a little scared, i ask right away: wanna hold hands? this feels a little dangerous. i hesitate less. i don't hide it as much. i watch for other people who are also nervous and say - it's kinda hard, huh?

i know, logically, i'm not good at asking for help. but i am also not good at noticing when i need help. i've trained myself out of asking completely, but i've also trained myself to never accept my own fears or excuses. i have trained myself to tamp down every anxiety and just-push-through. i don't know what i'm protecting myself from - just that i never think to admit it to anyone.

but every person on earth occasionally needs comfort. every person on earth occasionally needs connection. many of us were taught independence is the same thing as never needing anything.

each of us should have had an adult who heard - i feel nervous and held our hand and asked us how we could be helped to feel safe. no judgement, and no chiding. many of us did not. many of us were punished for the ways that we seemed "weak".

but here is something: i am an adult now. and i get nervous a lot, actually. and if you are an adult and you are feeling a little nervous - come talk to me. we can hold hands and figure out what will help us feel safe in our bodies. and maybe, next time, if we're brave, we can pet the dog that's passing.

Holy fuck I just saw the pictures of the cast of shadow and bone and they are so incredibly perfect I don't know wether I should laugh or cry. I am so in love with the whole series I don't know how I will make it into April without dying
