If u want to write a story about a character that's just you but hotter with a dark twisted backstory and magical powers and a pet falcon or something, I think u should just go ahead and do that. Who's gonna stop you? The government?? Fuck the police.

[charlon-lumi]

What if someone barges in, points at said character and scream, “Mary Sue!”

Tell them to come back with a warrant

Please remember that almost everyone around you is traumatized. I didn’t understand this when I was younger. I wondered why people acted so strangely and irrationally. Maybe all children wonder this. The author Robert Anton Wilson said (paraphrasing), “We have never seen a completely sane adult human.” No one makes it out of this life alive. It’s not their fault. Mercy, kindness, forgiving — these are what makes one human. They are other names for love. People break in the strangest of ways.

[bitcoitus]

“Under the present brutal and primitive conditions on this planet, every person you meet should be regarded as one of the walking wounded. we have never seen a man or woman not slightly deranged by either anxiety or grief. we have never seen a totally sane human being." — Robert Anton Wilson

[closet-keys]

I think at bare minimum all medical professionals need to make sure they are treating patients with more kindness and respect than grifters. if you go to a doctor and they treat you like shit, humiliate you, and send you home without any information on your body or access to treatment, then health-grifters' offers will start to feel more tempting by simply giving the most basic performance of taking you seriously and caring about your well-being. grifters should be condemned for manipulating and exploiting sick people, and doctors also play a role in whether grifts thrive or are successfully identified and rejected. genuine baseline human respect, and beginning a relationship with a patient by earning (rather than demanding) trust, goes a long way.

g/t ideas: camping

- the tiny (either a borrower or a human) is much more experienced in surviving the outdoors than the giant, and has to lead the giant through some simple camping stuff

- cuddling for warmth in a sleeping bag

- struggling to make a s'more for the other person who is a completely different size from you

- animal tries to attack tiny (again, either a borrower or a human) and the giant easily scoops said animal up

- going swimming or boating in a lake/pond/river together

- "this was a horrible idea, why did I agree to this" vs "I'm having the time of my life" I'll let you decide who is who

- forging together. tinies maybe closer to the ground and able to see more detail up close, but giants have a higher vantage point

Giant or human in a tent all cramped and not able to stand up. Meanwhile, the tiny does a big stretch jokingly about how much space they have.

Shadow puppets and such with the lantern inside a tent. The big using their hands while the tiny uses their whole body. Maybe playing with the shadows pretending to hold hands as if they were the same size.

i really thought the point of "being lgbt+ doesn't absolve you of racism as a white person" was that white people arent absolved of racism by being marginalized but it really seems like people think other marginalizations make it okay. no being disabled doesn't do it. no being poor doesnt do it. we need to fight against racism actively no matter what.

I imagine Cass often gets herself in trouble for being caught staring and eavesdropping in public but she can't help herself. People are so fun and complicated and vibrant and imperfect and just so very... alive. She could spend forever watching them go about their days, eating sandwiches, texting their moms, paying bills, telling bad jokes, making out, whatever. They are all beautiful. Cass just loves people. She loves life and all that it entails. Now if only she could learn to recognize that in herself.

[gendernewtral]

can we go back to acknowledging that ignoring someone’s chosen pronouns is always misgendering, even when you’re using neutral ones instead

[bluegreeninbtwn]

Story time - back in like 2021-2022 I was an assistant manager at a shitty food service job. The manager was an nb person (I acknowledge being nb and being binary trans have their differences). They didn't really take their responsibilities seriously and left most of the work to the other assistant manager and me. I couldn't stand them by the time I left that job, but I still used their preferred name & pronouns even talking shit after the fact. You can dislike someone/think they're a bad person but still use their correct pronouns, like it's not difficult

stephanie did not become robin again for damian for people to act as though they don’t like each other. damian did not let talia take stephanie to the lazarus pit for people to act as though they don’t like each other. stephanie did not cater to exactly how damian needs to be comforted for people to act as though they don’t like each other. cassie sandsmark did not call stephanie damian’s sister for people to act as though they don’t like each other!!!!

[amipasta]

thinking about that one page from batgirl 2009 finale (i’m pretty sure) where stephanie is in the hospital from black mercy and damian is on a perpendicular building with binoculars because he cares so, so deeply and doesn’t know how to say it or be there for her.

damian, who cares about plants and animals and people to a degree he doesn’t know how to handle. stephanie always trying to understand people more and be kinder. she may never know that damian was on the roof that day, but she doesn’t need to know. stephanie understands damian. she knows him. she likes him, and it’s not a secret. she will tease him and annoy him but if damian were to ask her, she would never, ever hesitate to tell him she cares.

[amipasta]

wait i know i literally just reblogged that second part but im not done. they are literally the epitome of who the other is trying to save most.

stephanie believes in second chances. she lives by second chances. she wants to see good in everyone, even if it is hard for her to look past her anger. damian literally tried to kill her ex boyfriend (who she still very much cares for) and she was like. you get a second chance. i’m going to work with you and gossip with you and take you to a bounce house.

and damian so badly wants to protect those he views as not being able to help themselves, or those who came from “lesser” circumstances than he did. maybe not at first, but damian will always help children when they are being hurt and spouses too deep under their toxic partner’s control and animals and bugs and he’ll ask the elderly if they’re okay before he leaves. everyone that has been labeled as less important, or not worth the time. damian wants to help them, he wants to understand stephanie even at the start.

when he asks stephanie what good she is to anyone, because she’s not about vengeance and to him she isn’t particularly skilled but he still saves her when she’s falling. he wants to know “what makes stephanie brown tick” because she’s the exact type of person he most wants to save. the ones built from good, the ones with love etched into their anger, the ones will always want to give the benefit of the doubt.

do you think they know they’re looking at a mirror? do you think stephanie knows she wants to give damian a second chance because she needed one? do you think damian knows he respects stephanie so much because she felt replaceable and irrelevant and still came back? do you think they know?

[amipasta]

okay wait last one (maybe)

stephanie thinking that maybe damian will kill her one day. but even still, even if his knife was in her chest, it would ache for different reasons. because to stephanie, damian is just a boy. to her, he isn’t the head demon’s grandson, he “went to ninja camp or whatever.” she knows. she doesn’t care. she’ll still fight with him and tease him and there isn’t fear, not because she could beat him, but because he’s just a child. and no child should be treated like a monster, even if it kills her.

and stephanie is explaining her ideal of hope, and damian says he doesn’t get it, and she says “of course you don’t. you’re ten.” you’re ten. you’re a child. that’s why he doesn’t get it. not because he is evil, or mean, but because he is ten.

they’re in the bounce house and damian is pretending he’s not smiling, and stephanie points it out and damian uses his default “i will stab you.” and she asks “would that be fun?” man. would it be fun? would stabbing me be fun to you? would it really? and damian replies “maybe.” and she thinks “there’s hope for him yet.”

it’s hard to say what she was referring to, exactly. there’s hope for him that he only said “maybe” instead of “yes?” there’s hope for damian learning to have fun? it doesn’t matter, not really. because stephanie is hope and she will always believe in damian, in some way or another. and damian will always live up to that hope, not because he wants to make her proud, but just because he wants to be good. and stephanie wouldn’t have it any other way.

[amipasta]

i lied i’m not done.

when talia comes by and starts being mean to damian’s friend, and he puts a hand out in front of stephanie. when cassie says “i didnt know her like you did” and all damian can say is “no.”

because by the time he realized how similar they really were, how much he cared about her, she was already gone. and he responds with anger, anger at cassie, anger at stephanie, anger at his mother and anger with himself. did i mention the lazarus pit can only be used one more time? did i mention damian let talia take stephanie away, knowing she may not be the same, knowing it was the last chance at a true second life anyone would ever have? that all he said was “i can come with you.” and when talia told him to stay because the city needs batman, and he lets her go, because he understands. the city needs batman the way batman needs robin. they way damian needs stephanie.
