just a place for me to put my random stuff with no solid theme and if you're just as bored as me you can ask me stuff. call me macarons (she/them/ thon)
I’m gonna reblog this here because I reblog a lot of art and sometimes I hesitate because I’m not sure if it’s a repost. But if you guys see me reblogging something that was reposted instead of the actual source, PLEASE LET ME KNOW so I can take it down.
Trigger warning: not gonna lie this is me getting some stuff off my chest. It's family related stuff and im not gonna lie there's some really fucked up stuff that's about to be said... I'm not sure what i would calls these triggers or more like what they would fall under so im doing a over all trigger warning.
My family is definitely the kind in which it forgets that kids are humans, humans that are still learning but still very much human. Like telling us not to do something and turning around doing themselves, acting as if they don't make any mistakes while grilling us for ours...nit giving us any type of respect
For example growing up my grandmother liked grabbing (didn't help that my brother would join in) my ass, even after i would tell her stop.. but telling her to stop would get me in trouble by the adults in the room telling me that shouldn't talk to my grandmother like that
Their actions telling me that my grandmother had more rights to my body then me (im not alone)
They was big on asking us at a young age if we had boyfriends or any and every time we had any interactions with the opposite sex that they where our partner... joking or not when you're feeling as if something is wrong with you for not being attracted to what they think you should be attracted to it jusy adds (I'm not saying this fucked me up, im just saying it didn't help me during the time i was thinking something was wrong with me for being gay with their actions saying that i needed to be a boy as if that was my one and only option to pick from)
My earliest memory, is my grandmother trying to "help" me learn spelling and her getting mad and yelling that i was retarded for messing up or for taking too long.
My grandmother treating me as if I'm a overall burden in her life
My grandmother asking around Christmas what i want and then pretty much grilling me for not having the money thing
Being compared to my older brother and always being stupid. Being the hateful grandchild even after all my brother has done from stealing from our grandfather to cussing them out when he doesn't get his way
Most of the super fucked up shit happened between me and grandmother, now that I'm older and don't have to put up with. I don't... for most part I've cut her out... when i was younger i would say i loved her just because she's my grandmother now it's pretty safe to say feeling of hate is mutual, and she can tell me that she loves me all she wants her actions say otherwise amd now for the most part she's either forgotten or acts like she's forgotten what pain she cased me and for the most part my family acts as if i should just be okay now, just be okay with what happened... no bitch just because you're old doesn't make up for the pain you cased me as kid, the shit that still effects me to this day... the answer is no and when and if i forgive her well be done on my time and done for me case i believe to forgive is a act of self love because you're letting go... but most times it's easier said than done.
My mom i feel as if has never done anything to purposely hurt me, depression has also made me feel otherwises but that's depression for ya.. something that happened between us that well always hurt thou....
One day in high school, i wanna say it was my second year of it. My depression as at a all time low, it was the dead of winter and there was snow on the ground and icy parts in the river close to my high school.
This day, was the day i was planning to kill myself... i was going to walk to a jumping point close to the freezing water, undress and jump in.
But i didn't, i had a second voice telling me to get help so thats what i did instead... at the time it was a BIG mistake. I got yelled at by my mom,brother and grandmother. Monked by my brother.
The regret i felt for not going through with my plan that day, is the same regret i feel on my worst days

For a second I didn’t realize it meant “high” as in a stoner--I thought “High Geologist” was like a rank of geologist or something and he was insulted you would challenge him to naming stones
@ everyone who is saying that he should have mentioned himself being black:
You are kinda missing the point here. No one has watched this scene and expected him to say “robot”
Every grown up person knows that what he’s actually talking about IS his blackness. But this is a kids show, a lot of kids literally wouldn’t think about his skin color making him different (until they are taught, anyway). You know what they *would* see him as different for? Being a robot, being a Cyborg. The show *constantly* uses his cyborg-ness to display his difference from regular humans. They have (at least) two whole episodes dedicated to the exploration of this topic. And in one of those episodes, his humanity is threatened, making clear that his robot parts do not invalidate his humanity. A kid hearing that he has been treated differently for his skin color *might* get it, but hearing that he is treated differently for being a robot would *definitely* get it.
They see him as a person, Victor, who just uses Cyborg as his hero name.
Also, because of several scenes throughout the show, this scene is just as much about *ableism* as it is *racism*
For those that don’t know, Brock’s mom and dad both bailed on their kids to go dreamchasing for a bit and he had to look after NINE siblings on his own
Brock literally hung tight until his dad came home, gave said dad a stern shit-talking about how much of a worthless deadbeat he was to his face, refused to set one foot out of Pewter City until he was sure the dude would stay and take care of his damn kids, and then left to follow the dreams he was never allowed to follow because he was too busy cleaning up his parents goddamn mistakes.
On a lighter note…
Excuse me while I explore some funniness
Also I heard Little Nightmares twitter has been receiving some cryptic messages… I am… intrigued. 👀
