Made something :P

[lovelysuggestions]

i need to remember that recovery is not linear. there will be good days, there will be bad bad bad days, and there might even be some really bad days. but these bumps in the road do not mean you’re not getting better. they do not mean all the progress you made is gone. so please, if you are having a bad day remember this feeling wont last forever. i know it seems like it will, but if you can just hold on for a little bit longer, you’ll soon see again all you have been working for.

Gentle reminder that the human eye is naturally drawn by noise and movement, so the next time you walk into a crowd or a bit late into a lecture or something like that, they’re not staring at you or judging; it’s just an instinctive reaction that has nothing to do with you doing anything wrong.

Remember that everyone you meet is afraid of something, loves something and has lost something.

If I'm discontent, will I lose them too?

If I find joy and contentment, will I lose everyone I love?

[wordsnquotes]

It was good for a while, being empty. I didn’t hurt anymore. But as time went on, it was like I could hear myself from far away, begging for permission to come back.

Myra McEntire, Hourglass (via wordsnquotes)

[wordsnquotes]

Compassion hurts. When you feel connected to everything, you also feel responsible for everything. And you cannot turn away. Your destiny is bound with the destinies of others. You must either learn to carry the Universe or be crushed by it. You must grow strong enough to love the world, yet empty enough to sit down at the same table with its worst horrors.

Andrew Boyd, Daily Afflictions: The Agony of Being Connected to Everything in the Universe  (via wordsnquotes)

i hate suicide squad and jared leto

[skwadcollar-blog]

Interesting opinion you formed after five and a half minutes of footage and a few pictures.

[astarionsass]

interesting that you have a good enough opinion of it to defend it after five and a half minutes of footage and a few pictures

[skwadcollar-blog]

I haven’t formed an opinion on the whole movie. I’m excited for the movie, but I’m not downright saying it’s going to be good or bad.

[astarionsass]

ok…….? im not saying it’s going to be bad(though i certainly think and hope it is)……….. im saying im not going to like it. because it looks terrible and the brand of “edgy” employed by hot topic kids. aka me when i wanted to be emo and depressed because i thought it was “cool.” and it is not “cool” to want to be fucking depressed and “crazy”

also obviously you’ve got a high enough opinion of it to go searching for it on tumblr dot com, find a random person you don’t know whose opinion does not fucking impact you in the slightest, and get mad because i said i hate it.

go be excited for it somewhere else. i’m allowed to think it looks like dogshit.

[skwadcollar-blog]

I’m not mad. I just said it was an interesting opinion. And I like the movie, so when I see people pointlessly saying things like what you said, I will politely say something.

[astarionsass]

“pointlessly” like u pointlessly coming to my post and making a big stink bc some rando on the internet has an opinion different than yours?

my opinion. of the movie. is not. any more pointless. than yours is.

please get off your high horse!

You’re hating on something because it’s ableist? How the hell is it ableist? I’m one of those people who has mental illnesses, and it doesn’t offend me. Because it’s not a joke in the movie. I didn’t laugh when Harley talked about the voices. I was excited because that’s similar to her character in the comics. But it wasn’t funny. And if you think that, you’re reading too much into it. Or maybe you’re the ignorant one

[astarionsass]

yes, i am hating on something because it’s ableist. i’m hating on it because it plays into the assumption that mental illnesses are quirky and funny, that they’re light-hearted and easily shrugged off, when they are anything but. 

it wasn’t played as “oh this is close to her character in the comics!” it was played as a laugh, for comedic effect. don’t act like you’re so dense you couldn’t figure that out.

you aren’t the only one in the world with mental illnesses. you don’t decide what is offensive to other people. you don’t decide what is ableist and what isn’t. 

playing off mental illnesses as a fucking joke is not cool, it’s not good, it’s not funny or harmless. just because you don’t see why something is wrong doesn’t mean that it’s not fucking wrong.

[skwadcollar-blog]

I honestly have never met anyone who thinks mental illnesses are “quirky” or “funny”.

I don’t see how it’s funny, I don’t see why David Ayer would make that funny. To me it seems like a break from the action, and a way for the trailer to flow with the song.

Well so far, you haven’t shown me how it’s ableist. Because all you’ve been able to say is that they’re making mental illnesses into a joke. Which is so ridiculous it seems like a joke.

Just because you think something is ableist doesn’t make it ablest.

[astarionsass]

you’ve never met anyone who’s called someone “crazy” and laughed about it? really?

it’s not even that it just makes it seem like a joke. it lessens the seriousness of mental illnesses and makes them lighter.

because i see that shit every day. at my 18th birthday party i had a panic attack and was told to stop trying to get attention. my ex cheated on me and abused me and the trauma i suffered caused me to panic, hyperventilate, cry, vomit, lash out at others, etc when i saw mention of him and i got made fun of for it - literally laughed at by him and dozens of his friends for something i couldn’t control. i got made fun of in high school because i self-harmed. no one helped me because it was just something to laugh at, something i “did for attention”(common theme here!). i told my dermatologist about how depressed i was and she told me i should try yoga.

shit like this? it adds to that. whether you think it does or not.

i don’t care if you don’t see how it’s funny, i care that when i went to see deadpool and the trailer rolled, people laughed at that bit. they thought it was funny, even if you didn’t. 

i’m done debating this with you. you’ve shown a lack of empathy that i find disturbing, and if you can’t have some common decency and understand how this hurts people, then i’m not going to bother. you can keep defending this all you want, but you’re wrong about the “it’s not ableist” bit.

just remember that you do not get to choose what hurts other people. they are hurt by something or they are not and it’s not anyone’s decision. it’s a feeling that specific person has. fuck you for invalidating anyone’s feelings.

grow up.
