Things people hate hearing:

You are capable of harm

You have some level of power and agency

Ergo it is your responsibility to communicate your needs and boundaries

If you lie to someone about something being okay when it isn't, that is on you

Something being a trauma response doesn't exempt it from harming your relationships and the other people in them

Enabling your trauma responses will not make them go away, and it is your responsibility to work on yourself for your own wellbeing as well as the people around you

Being A Victim cannot be a pillar of your identity forever, and being victimized does not make you incapable of harming other people (see above)

You are not a mouse in a jean jacket you are an eel with a gun / adult human being who can use your words even if it's Scary

Having a personality disorder doesn't make you evil but you have got to get off of Personality Disorder Tumblr (see above, re: enabling)

Deep sigh. You want me to ~be compassionate~ here's the compassionate answer: your trauma will tell you you're a helpless child forever and you need to Not Think This Way for yourself (living under the assumption you're still in danger whether you actually are or not) and everyone else who has to tiptoe around your Sensitivity. That's how you break the cycle and you can only do this by accepting responsibility for your actions. And it seems like a small semantic thing but imo step one is calling yourself a survivor instead of a victim. Self identifying with your victimhood helps No One. You lived, now get up

always funny to remember darth vader is anakin skywalker. the adrenaline junkie chucklefuck who used to dive head first out of speeders and built a pod racer in his yard when he was like six is now upper-middle management for the evil empire. half of his appearances in the original trilogy are Meetings. vader spends like 80% of his time dealing with bureaucratic bullshit. status updates. team meetings. holo-Zooms. budget rundowns. anakin betrayed the jedi and caused the fall of the republic and his punishment is being CC'd on every email forever. and you know what. he would hate that. the punishment fits the criminal

I’m SEVERELY disappointed this post didn’t include the eye witness statement of the mirror crash incident in question

[starkwoes]

There's this video of nuns talking about their favourite things to do outside of nun activities and one of them says "ultimate frisbee" and the other one goes "and sister you are so good at that." I literally cannot get "and sister you are so good at that" out of my head. Out of all my stims this one is my fav lolol

It’s a lovely touch in honour of Terry Pratchett the ‘wine’ glass is a reference to the snow globe featuring Aziraphale bookshop and the Bentley. A truly ineffable detail

""" i can't believe crowley chose the universe over aziraphale""" you can't believe that the SERPENT OF EDEN chose to give humanity free will??? AGAIN???

I do love that Jesus rolls up to Whickber Street like “hey have you seen an immortal with funny eyes?” and without missing a beat Mutt’s Spouse is just like “oh our resident unhoused eldritch horror with unresolved trauma and substance abuse issues? yeah he’s right down there, can’t miss him.”

just saw "the drama", so spoilers ahead, but one thing i found really interesting is how for both emma and rachel's "worst things", they both did something objectively awful, that fortunately didn't result in anyone actually getting hurt in the end......almost entirely by luck.

emma would've gone through with the shooting if another one hadn't occurred and seeing the fallout didn't snap her out of it.

rachel's actions could've resulted in that kid being hurt or even dying, it was just fortunate that he was found before any serious harm was done.

the difference is that emma knows how lucky she got, as horrible as that is to say about one of her classmates dying. emma knows how close she came to irreparably ruining her life and several other people's, and she's clearly rattled by it. rachel? rachel doesn't seem to register that what she did was wrong, let alone how much worse it could've ended.

and at the end of the day, emma chose not to go through with hurting people. don't get me wrong, she came dangerously close, she brought a weapon to school and it was down to chance that she changed her mind. but she did change her mind, and she made an effort to turn her life around and become better. rachel says she totally would've done the right thing if the kid hadn't been found quickly...but she conveniently never has to prove it. it's in the past, it all worked out more or less okay, so she gets to keep thinking that what she did was bad, but not that bad, really it was harmless, it was a stupid impulse decision but ultimately no one got hurt so, no harm no foul, right?

emma sees the worst thing a person could do and thinks, "there but for the grace of god go i." rachel sees it and thinks it could never be her.

The thing about the Drama that I have a hard time coming to terms with is the reason why Emma didn't go and commit the shooting. Everyone goes with the most uncharitable interpretation of those events; as if she didn't do it because she would no longer be "the first" one to do it in her town.

The movie shows how the shooting impacted the students at Emma's school, and Emma had to sit and take in all the reactions of those around her. The pain it caused others, how shameful it is to do such a thing, the weight of real life taken. Her not going through with it read to me less as a disappointment, and more as a wake-up call.

Before the shooting happened, her view of such events was glamorized play pretend. She was trying to make a "cool" sounding manifesto putting on silly makeup and clothes. After it happened, she was face-to-face with the real consequences that would have on the people around her, and she chose not to go through with her plan.

Charlie's interpretation of this event was the MOST uncharitable possible interpretation of how things went down and idk why his viewpoint is the one taken in this scenario.

i keep seeing ppl talking abt the end of the drama & my two cents is that throughout the entire movie charlie is continually seeking external validation for his reaction to the worst thing emma ever did; i think in his heart of hearts he really truly loves her & has already accepted her past (see him walking around the city with his arm around a teenage emma), but he worries that his impulse to accept her reflects poorly on his own moral character given the reactions of the people around him to her secret. that’s why i think the diner scene is so lovely!! charlie spends quite a lot of effort trying to justify why emma did what she did to his friends & his coworker (he lies & says she witnessed the death of her friend, & tries to frame her teenage thought processes through a very theoretical, psychoanalytic lens in order to make sense of them), but it isn't until he royally fucks up at the wedding in front of all of their friends & family that he is finally able to understand how powerful & beautiful emma's commitment to offering both herself & others a fresh start is. he comes to understand love & acceptance & forgiveness in a much deeper way because of her, regardless of whether or not they end up making the relationship work moving forward & i think thats AWESOME !!!
