Koa 29 : Autistic • Gay • Traumatized ♡

Yesterday my little brother told me something very sweet and touching, that when he was a kid and had nightmares about monsters chasing him or whatever he would be able to end the nightmare by finding me in the dream and I would protect him by fighting off the zombies, or carrying him away. This is adorable, and makes me feel like the greatest older sibling in the world, but the hilarious thing is that when I was a kid I had nightmares of needing to save him from zombies and such. so many dreams where he was in trouble and I needed to save him. Like my nightmares began where his ended. Low key I think he mastered the ability to psychically transfer his nightmare to me as a child and I'm kind of annoyed with him.

Maybe that's my fate, to love so deeply it hurts, to spend my days remembering, someone who forgot me first.

I would have kept choosing you forever but you made me choose myself.

maybe ‘forever’ was a word meant for memories, not people.

One downside to being polyamorous is that it expands your circus tent and notably increases the number of your monkeys

In elementary school, my best friend and I had this game we would play where we were school supplies living inside a child's desk and going on slice-of-life adventures inside it. And I remember that a key component of our school supply society was a sort of religious schism that existed around the purpose and nature of the giant hand that occasionally reached in to grab different citizens, use them, and then return them, because most school supplies considered this an auspicious and enviable moment of being selected for a greater purpose and allowed a glimpse of a vast truth, but pencils considered it a horrible portent of doom because they always got sharpened during it and came back smaller and closer to death. We were third graders btw.

I think it's cute when depictions of our solar system include earth's moon. Like yeah sure the moon's invited. We just like her

[tlirsgender]

Like simplified models that don't have Literally Everything just the planets. And our moon #OurMoon

If you died right now, would you be happy haunting in your current outfit for the rest of your afterlife?

idk what traumatized or mentally ill person needs to hear this but dreams (especially the really disturbing ones you dont want to talk about to anybody) arent some deep peek into your psyche or a sign of your True Desires or whatever theyre quite literally your brain making fruit salad with whatever it can find on the shelf. just putting all that shit in a blender and hitting obliterate. its fine, youre fine, youre not a weirdo for it

[iapislazuli]

Actually forget what I said. This dream is more important than anything

i was not born in 1998

[the-real-seebs]

It’s a huge secret in my family that I like lemons as decoration. Not because it’s shameful or anything but because I know that if word got out to my grandparents and aunties that I like stuff with lemons on it I’d get nothing but stuff with lemons on it for the rest of eternity. I just enjoy a few things with lemon pattern. I do not want to be flooded with citrus themed kitchenware every Christmas.

they teach you the golden rule, treat others how you want to be treated, but in a pinch you can apply the silver rule (be kinda selfish because you’ve earned it) or even the bronze rule (manipulate others purely for your benefit).

[merelymaple]

There's also the stone rule: Just start hitting people.

[mint-swirl]

that’s right
