Having a traumatic childhood means you cannot talk even objectively about your basic foundational experiences without it being "venting", even if you're not actually venting. You just straight up have a huge chunk of your life you can't talk about, full stop, without it being trauma dumping.

And it not being socially acceptable to talk about your own childhood is super alienating. Sometimes people want to know why, and any answer you can give them is going to be off putting.

It's to the point I get irritated when something I said is framed as venting when I'm literally just talking about my life experiences, doing my best to keep emotion out of it.

when I was in high school, I overheard two older students talking about a friend of theirs.

One of them said something like, "it doesn't bother me that [Friend] was in residential mental health treatment, I just wish they wouldn't talk about it ALL the time".

The other replied, "Well, that was all of last year for them. So when they say 'when I was in treatment,' it's like when you say 'last year'."

I try to remember that any time someone says something that sounds Shocking to me. sometimes one person's scary special crisis is another person's last year.

If you want to be accepting of mental illness, you need to accept the fact that some people's everyday lives are going to be terrifying to you. That doesn't mean they don't get to talk about it. Stop forcing hurt, isolated people to become even MORE hurt and isolated because you can't fathom toughening up a bit.

thank you thank you this is so gdamn important

ive come to realize people will only accept mental illnesses if they stay within their clean, aesthetic, romanticized version of it. the second it comes to them being unable to do basic daily tasks like getting up or brushing teeth or taking a whole shower (i know because i've been there) or self-destructive habits (i used to bite the skin off my fingers and im still working on stopping that habit), they suddenly brand it as disgusting. like no. people don't understand how hard it is for people with mental health issues to do BASIC DAILY TASKS. a normal, conversation-friendly YEAR is out of the question for most.

Sometimes I think about Finnick trying to befriend Katniss before the Quell and I lose my shit

The other rebels are like you need to subtly let her know you're on her side, so you go bet and turn your charm up to 11. Which would have maybe worked on anyone else but this is Katniss Everdeen we're talking about.

So now you're stuck doing increasingly ridiculous social gymnastics every time she's around and still by the time the night before the Games arrives the only thing she's convinced of about you is that you are going to try to fucking murder her

So you freak out, seek out Haymitch and basically go "hey what the fuck is wrong with your kid". And Haymitch just stares ahead for a second, nods, takes off his bracelet, says "wear this" and leaves. You fucking hate district 12

So you go okay. Breathing exercises. This is fine. Guess I'll have to save her life during the Games or sth maybe that'll do the trick. And when you see the Arena you cheer up for a sec bc you definitely have the advantage here she'll have to trust you right?

Wrong. She can fucking swim. SHE CAN FUCKING SWIM.

So now you're in the Cornucopia with no cards up your sleeve, no time left, and arguably the other deadliest tribute in that Arena pointing at you with a bow, and so you go "you know what, fuck it, I'm going to die anyways" and you show her the bracelet

AND IT FUCKING WORKS

Bear in mind Finnick had no first-hand experience on Katniss and Haymitch's bitch-to-bitch telepathy this was his first contact with it

Just saying lucky for the Rebellion this was Finnick and not me if I was in his place I would have killed her there and then just out of principle

it really is kind of interesting how attached people are to the idea of the improvised line and the genuine reaction in film. nearly every single famous moment or line has some sort of claim floating around that it wasn't in the script and was either made up on the spot by an actor or was sprung as a surprise on the actors to get their 'real' reaction. you know, sometimes people do come up with good lines in advance and write them down, and sometimes people can pretend to be have a convincing emotional response on screen

if you receive this, you make somebody happy! go on anon and send this to ten of your followers who make you happy or somebody you think needs cheering up. if you get one back, even better!!! (❀❛ ֊ ❛„)♡

oh my god AAAAAHHHH thanks!!

Vanessa requested "What if: kid caitvi met"

I have this idea that in another universe Vi liked to play the sax on the street and get some extra cash, and Caitlyn sees her a few times before she gathers the courage to talk to her 🤲

Remeber that you can request a doodle by leaving a tip on my ko-fi!

its raining its pouring i wish i was snoring but school schedules are shit

There's something so sweet and sad about the fact that the first question Peeta asks Katniss to establish genuine friendship is "what's your favourite colour?", which is a pretty typical childish question. It shows that they really are still so young.

This bitch right here. As a teacher, I've been this bitch. It's like... you might be devoted to your job and the kids, but sometimes it's just. So. Much.

I wonder how he'd feel knowing that he introduced to each other the two boys that invented love at 14 and 15.
