reblog to diminish the horrors from the person you reblogged from

Q: There is actually a clip... It's called "The Weekenders being responsible for my sense of humor for 15 minutes" or something like that. And it was just brilliantly put together because I'm like, "This is me! These are all of the moments that I remember, and all of the moments that helped form my sense of humor and my identity." So I love that. Doug Langdale: Yeah, it was funny. We did the first season of the show, and they had some kind of consultants come in to figure out what we could do to increase the ratings in the second season. We had this meeting where I sat down and this person was explaining to me what was wrong with the show and said, you know, "It's too much talk, not enough action." And just was kind of going on... And in the middle of the meeting, the door opened and someone leaned into the room and said, "We just beat Pokémon!" and closed the door and went back out. I slowly turned from the door back to the person who was talking, and they were just like "...Eh." Didn't know how to go on because we had just become the number one show. I was like, "So you were saying about how we can fix the show?" And I don't know, we did make a little bit of an effort, but I mean... it was just kind of the nature of the show that it was mostly people talking. It was not a big action-y show. It was more about small moments. It wasn't about huge emotions. It was just about day-to-day dealing with ordinary stuff. I mean, the characters were all sort of like vaguely neurodivergent, although we didn't have the term at the time, because everyone working in animation was kind of vaguely neurodivergent. So a lot of this stuff, when you're a kid who doesn't quite conform to how brains are supposed to work... a lot of minor things like feel like a big deal. It was just sort of interesting to do a show where that was sort of as big as it ever got was like "Oh, I have to deal with seeing my parents together for the first time in a long time." No one was ever dying. Nothing huge or tragic was ever happening. It was a little bit subdued. In the end the show wasn't a huge success, but I think the people who liked it really liked it, and that's all you can do. [Source]

no but im so tired of how self-deprecation is always more accepted than self-advocacy. if i say i can't drive because im autistic i get questioned on how exactly that works and given a million suggestions on how to do it anyway and i look like im trying to be special so it's easier to just say im a loser. yeah i don't drive because im kind of a loser lmao. oh well. and people say lmao back and we move on. at worst they say "oh im sure you'll figure it out haha." but no interrogation!! being a loser is more respectable than being disabled. being a loser is something that doesn't make other people feel uncomfortable about their own biases. so no, no im not disabled. i don't struggle to keep friends and do the laundry and make quick trivial decisions and clean my room and brush my teeth because im autistic. it's because im a loser. it's my fault. it is what it is. at least im funny now. do you think im funny? please think im funny

so you're right and that's a very important message, but i want to clarify that's actually not what this post is about. i can think positively about myself all i want (and i actually DO now) but that doesn't change the way i'm treated by society, which is the issue i'm bringing attention to here. no amount of positivity toward myself erases other people's ableism. i hate how my options are to either be negative toward myself or go against the grind socially.

"I wanted to forget him, and yet it seemed I thought of him always. It was as if the empty nights were made for thinking of him. And sometimes I found myself so vividly aware of him it was as if he had only just left the room and the ring of his voice were still there." - Interview with the Vampire, 1976 Interview with the Vampire (2022) | Season 1 - Season 2
