tumblr writers I am begging you to write a story featuring a character named William Robert Banks

[biggest-gaudiest-poltergeist]

he is introduced to the reader as Billy Bob, and his full name is not revealed until the penultimate chapter. he is the group leader and yes it's a heist caper.

[raisuke06]

... So his name is Will Rob Banks

[biggest-gaudiest-poltergeist]

that is correct!

I recommend scrolling to a port and start clicking the fuschia dots. They’re pleasure crafts, owned by civilians, and they have the most amazing names.

there’s a guy in my small town who has started a paranormal research campaign in the area, mostly to attract tourism, its such a funny way to go about it but it’s working

[byjove]

you would think that the other locals would be slightly out off by him advertising the town as a hotbed of paranormal activity and Bigfoot sightings but they’ve actually leaned into it

[byjove]

On a slightly related note, if you ever have an ex who is threatening suicide if you don’t get back together with them, do not get back together. Do not drive to their house. Do not offer to meet them. For legal reasons, you may send them a simple text telling them not to do it. Call their parents or their friends and alert them to the individual’s suicidal threats. Then, block your ex to create space. Abusive partners often use threats of suicide to keep their victims from leaving, even if you didn’t think the relationship was abusive you should be weary. In the event your ex is actually suicidal over the break up, there is nothing you can do for them. You are not a mental health professional. You cannot give them the short term or long term help they need. You have no obligation to try to fix them.

I love the generational gap between emoji usage. Anyone over 50 sees 🙃 and thinks "silly time! whee 🙃", whereas the rest of us immediately hear, verbatim, "they ask you how you are, and you just have to say that you're fine, when you're not really fine, but you just can't get into it because they would ne--"

Interesting; I didn't know this was a thing.

It’s apparently a thing, but it’s a very new thing, so it may need some help being known.

emperor kuzco was clearly gay

[detectivehole]

hes 19, with unlimited power, and he ain’t got a gf. the only time we see him interact with any women his own age is when he’s rejecting like 7 of them rapid fire. he pretends to date pacha in a gag that lasts like 10 solid minutes. listen to me god damnit

[qqueenofhades]

Okay, but just in case anyone is coming to tumblr dot com for my hot takes on 20+ year old kids’ movies: Kuzco super WAS gay (or at least coded as such) and of course, I didn’t get it until I watched it as a gay grownup.

He is played obviously camp and dramatic, for a start, and there is the aforementioned “hate your hair/not likely/yikes yikes yikes/let me guess you have a great personality” summary dismissal of all his potential brides. Then he spends dinner asking Yzma about Kronk (“so he seems nice? He’s what, in his late twenties?”) and otherwise being slightly obsessed with him.

Then there is the whole Adventure of Doom with Pacha, him being ever huffy about the Kiss of Life, and then the restaurant gag where Kuzco takes to playing Pacha’s fake wife and dressing up in ladies’ clothing with great gusto (reinforced by the waitress’ “bless you for coming out in public” remark when Pacha says they’re on their honeymoon). Then when he is finally de-llamafied, we don’t see him paired off with the obligatory girl from the lineup earlier, as might otherwise be expected in a Disney movie. Instead he is still single, but goes to found family it up with Pacha, Chica, Kronk, etc, which dare we remark is a very queer trope.

In short, I have no idea how a Disney movie with no white people (all the characters are Indigenous/people of color), a gay king, cross-dressing jokes, and the most offbeat plot of all time actually ever got made (can you imagine the Family Friendly Mouse doing that today? Let us also talk about Kronk because he is a brilliant deconstruction of both toxic masculinity and the musclebound henchman stereotype.) Other than that this was the Chaos Hour of animated movies in the late 90s/early 2000s, and yes.

So yes. There you have it. I will not be taking criticism at this time.

[biggest-gaudiest-poltergeist]

Kuzco is, in all seriousness, a very solid example of a gay-coded character (remember that gay-coded means “the creators couldn’t get it past the censors, but it is heavily implied in the subtext, to the point informed audience members should be able to recognize it with analysis.” the analysis above is very good!)

there’s that big tumblr post that theorized that disney’s “weird period” (that era where we got emperor’s new groove, lilo & stitch, treasure planet, and a bunch of other extremely weird and excellent films you wouldn’t expect to get greenlit) was the result of production being temporarily handed to their backup Florida studio, with presumably more control being given to creators & animators while the executives worked on transitioning the main studio to 3D. 

the executives also sabotaged most of these films at box office, to justify the hype about 3D, but that’s a whole other story. please enjoy this Deleted Yzma Villain Song that didn’t make it into the final cut 

(yes she is planning to literally destroy the sun itself as revenge for the inevitability of human decay)

[tiny-crecher]

oh you’re neurodivergent? reblog with the song stuck in your head and the task you’re currently procrastinating on

[schizocassandraoftroy]

No doctor will ever get my respect like the woman in the ER who checked me for claws and fangs because I told her I was turning into a werewolf and could feel it and let me know gently that she couldn't find any but that didnt make it feel any less real, like THATS how you do it, other doctors who just flat out told me I was wrong take notes

[schizoalienboy]

This is how you treat us!

[anais-ninja-bitch]

i am reblogging this as someone who does not have delusions and often makes shitposts about werewolves, and i just want all my followers to know this is not a joke!

i am so glad you had this positive experience, and i hope this sort of kindness catches on with doctors and the general public.

[rosslynpaladin]

Look when someone is in a confused or compromised state, no matter why,

and they are your medical charge,

it is vital to continue to treat them with dignity. Like that. Reassure them with visible practicalities that you acknowledge their fears, will not belittle them, and can show them facts to help them cope.

THAT is the proper compassion of a Healer.

[yellow-lemon-lime]

Can I just add that, if you like me have delusions where everything bad that happens is your fault, the doctor shouldn't be like "Yeah, you're probably right" but try to reason with you in a respective way. OP's doctor did it right, but some of the notes make it look like people think delusions must be agreed to always, when doing so can be detrimental to the person's wellbeing

[schizophrenicfordpinesmoved]

This is my favorite addition to this post because it’s true. When dealing with delusions you need to avoid the extremes - DO NOT tell the person flat out “you’re wrong”, “thats not real” or worst of all “you’re crazy.” BUT DON’T ENCOURAGE THE DELUSION EITHER! Let’s take my werewolf delusion, for example. Doctors who have flat out told me “that isn’t real” haven’t helped because for me it is real and no amount of you saying it isn’t will change my perception. It makes us feel alienated.

But someone saying “You ARE transforming into a werewolf but i have a poition thatll stop it! :D” is just as dangerous because you’re furthering a delusion which could get someone hurt. its also manipulative. we’re psychotic, not children.

So what DO you do? Acknowledge that the situation is frightening. If possible, give them the objective facts (ie, i don’t see any monsters; your mom hasn’t said anything to make it seem like she’s going to kill you) while also acknowledging that for them, it is real. Most of all, ask what you can do to keep them comfortable and safe.

Sorry for the long addition but when I made this post it didn’t occur to me apsychotic people would look at it for advice on how to handle an actively delusional person. I’m glad it’s resonating with people, though

[angiethewitch]

I remember when I told a doctor someone had replaced all the veins and arteries in my body with wires and I was no longer a person. she very gently checked me over for any wounds where they could have made the incisions to put the wires in, and took photos of the places on my phone to prove it. all the places I felt were the entry points were out of my sight, behind my ears and in my back and stuff. then she offered to get me an xray if they could fit me in, but it might take a while. I declined because I didnt want to take up space for people who need it, and honestly at this point I trusted her enough to tell me if I had wires. she brought my husband in and showed him how to check me over for wounds and wires, then she asked me if I had any questions. I went back into the waiting room, feeling like I wasn't stupid and I felt much safer.

she came into the waiting room later to check if I was okay, and I felt safe, cared for, trusted and believed. she told my husband she put a psychiatrist on standby in case I got freaked out again, and told me she understands how I feel, and that she can't see anything but she gets how scary it is for me and she's on shift for a few hours and to ask for her by name if I need reassuring again.

I felt safe. I felt believed. that's how you do it.
