things that keep me up at night

[polutropos-puppyboy]

i have for a while been using stepping on somebody's toes as a metaphor for misgendering. and i genuinely think that it's kind of a good one.

[polutropos-puppyboy]

if you keep stepping on somebody's toes for a long time at minimum they're probably going to start really hating you and at maximum you might cause them lasting damage.

if you do it on purpose you're a dick. if it's on accident but you keep doing it that person is still going to be mad at you because you don't care enough to try not to step on their toes

[polutropos-puppyboy]

if you give a grovelling begging apology after accidentally stepping on somebody's toes one time you're going to make the whole thing awkward, but not giving a quick "sorry" before moving on is still kind of rude.

I’m not worried. Are you worried?

Yes.

Fandom: ER Characters: John Carter, Peter Benton Tags: Past rape/non-con, childhood sexual assault, hurt/comfort, whump, angst

Summary:

“Carter? John Carter? You’re all grown up! What were you when I last saw you? Ten?” “Eleven.” Carter’s reply is a hushed whisper, barely audible next to Benton’s ear. -- The maid comes to the ER as a patient. Benton notices something is off.

MIND THE TAGS!

At a rehab in Atlanta, suffering through the height of opioid withdrawal, John Carter comes to suspect that his worsening symptoms are indicative of something beyond simple drug withdrawal.

He has appendicitis. He's sure of it.

When John tries to tell his doctors, no one listens to him. No one believes him. To them, he's just a drug addict, doing what drug addicts do: drug seeking.

Carter is alone, with no one to help him, as his condition rapidly deteriorates.

“You know that patient in Curtain 1 you asked me to monitor?” Carter trails off, and Peter motions at him to continue, exasperated.

“…Well, he’s just… He’s acting pretty odd.”

Peter feels a flash of deep irritation. “Odd how?” Peter prompts, voice hard.

What is the point of having an intern to help cover scut if they can’t do a single thing by themselves?

“Just…” Carter hesitates. Peter’s irritation grows. Carter must see it on his face, because he practically wilts. He continues, but his voice comes out considerably more meek. “He seems pretty volatile? And he’s been really aggressive with me and the nurses.”

OR: Benton fails to take Carter's concerns about a patient seriously. The consequences are catastrophic.

Rb to give gender euphoria to the person you reblogged it from

[stiffyck]

anyways am i the only one kinda sad to see basically all rocky and grace posts being tagged with both grace//rocky and g//rocky? i like the ship and all, but it feels like every single post about these two that i see is just meant as ship. very rarely do i see a grace and rocky post now thats not tagged with their ship names.

idk man. maybe im too sensitive or whatever but it really is just fucking depressing to see how quickly people get bored of platonic relationships.

Hello person having transgender thoughts but convinced they aren't trans because they don't have the requisite amount of dysphoria they think they need

Hi I transitioned without even thinking I had dysphoria. Like later in hindsight I can go "oh that's probably what it was" but for the first year of my transition I was straight up like "I like being a guy but I like being a girl WAY more" and you can do that!! There is no prerequisite amount of suffering needed to make yourself happier.

Gonna include these tags cuz they're good

R is for Revenge

All of a sudden, every eye is on the man in the doorway, the excessive light from the hall illuminating him from behind like some sort of vengeful spirit. He's holding a gun. He's pointing it directly at Carter, the boy who only hours ago was attempting to console him.

"You bastards took her from me," Richards says, voice terrifyingly low. "You told me you'd fix her, and then you killed her instead."

Peter's mind races at a thousand miles a minute. Not Carter. Jesus Christ, not Carter. He doesn't really- he's never really even- but it can't be Carter.

OR

The husband of a patient who died in Vucelich's study decides to take revenge, but it's Carter who ends up in the firing line.

Ryan gosling and femininity in his characters

[aroace-ryland-grace]

I open tumblr. I look at my dash. I see 10 posts in a row from different people all blocked with different ship tags. I close tumblr. I begin concieving a curse to make everyone on the entire planet happily aromantic and asexual.

[aroace-ryland-grace]

I think one of the things that really gets me is that yeah, Grace was doomed from the start in multiple different ways, but it was always out of love. He was doomed from the moment he was born because of the coma gene, out of love from his parents. He was doomed from the moment he started studying science and got his Ph.D., out of love for his field. He was doomed from the moment he asked Stratt to give him more Astrophage to study, out of love for his students. He was doomed from the moment he started working on the project, out of love for his planet. And then once he's in space, he almost dies trying to save Rocky from Earth's atmosphere, out of love for Rocky. Then he almost condemns himself to death to go back and save Rocky from the Taumoeba, thinking he will die for it, out of love for Rocky and also out of love for Erid.

And I think that also makes the aroace reading of Grace so much more impactful and important, because you have this person who doesn't love others in the conventional ways his planet expects, but despite that, the other kinds of "unconventional" love that he has, which he has so much of, not only saves him but saves two entire planets and countless lives. All the things and all the love that should have killed him are the reason why he, and also many others, live.
