I feel like Starlight Glimmer's backstory would have way more impact if she still didn't have a cutiemark when she hit adulthood.
Like most unicorns, her canon cutie mark is tied to her magic so with a bit of rewtiting we can just say her power comes from raw magical ability. She did not study it and does not have a passion for it. To her, magic is just an incredibly strong tool.
Then it turns out her special talent is teaching magic and she finally earns her mark once she successfully teaches Trixie an advanced spell
my favorite hannibal bit is when will says some weird shit and everyone stares at him
Ur fav song from Danger Days :))
Ooof this is hard id say DESTROYA or Planetary (GO!) cuz I love the energy in those songs. My chemical romance makes me dance indeed.
I’m reading Joe Trohman memoir and he speaks about the first time he met Patrick.
literally every music genre has at least one album that will absolutely change your life if you give it a shot
so something I've noticed within a lot of fandoms is that people will post their "neurodivergent" headcanons. which is fine ofc, however when they say "neurodivergent" they are typically only referring to autism or ADHD. maaaayybbee ptsd if the character(s) are "traumatized enough" (by that I mean, there's typically one who everyone uwuifies and infantilizes because their trauma is most prominently on display within the media). a common headcanon that often fails to address the trauma of other characters, or that trauma doesn't always manifest itself as PTSD/C-PTSD.
point being, while there's nothing wrong with headcanoning characters with these (autism, adhd, ptsd), maybe...do research? branch out more? imagine how nice it would be if suddenly large amounts of people were not only educated about other lesser-known forms of neurodivergence (ocd, did, npd, bpd, aspd, schizotypal disorders, etc.) but destigmatized them by giving these headcanons to well-loved, popular characters (rather than the villains or antagonists, or even just less popular or even hated characters). (and hey, if you didn't know, schizophrenia and autism can present similarly)
(that being said please do research before you head canon something stigmatizing or ableist.)
it could pave the way for real, genuine, non-stigmatizing or demonizing representation.
and this could probably be a separate post but I wanted to include it here as well:
POC CHARACTERS CAN BE NEURODIVERGENT. POC CHARACTERS ARE ALSO AUTISTIC, ALSO HAVE ADHD, OCD, AND MORE!! STOP LEAVING THEM OUT, STOP ONLY HEADCANONING THE WHITE PROTAGONISTS AS AUTISTIC.
Thank you for coming to my TED talk, please feel free to add on
