1, 20, 30 for the ask meme :3

1.if someone wanted to really understand you, what would they read, watch, and listen to?

this is going to be a really long answer and i'm not sorry.

for short things:

Captain Awkward's article #190: The Sandwich Means “I Love You”: A Valentine.

W.H. Auden's poem As I walked out one evening

This set of panels from issue #06 of Fraction's Hawkeye.

One Art by Elizabeth Bishop + this gifset from Adventure Time.

Anis Mojgani's performance of "Direct Orders," "Here I Am," and "Shake the Dust" at the 2006 Seattle Grand Slam.

These songs that I listen to on repeat a lot.

for long things:

The Secret Garden by Frances Hodgson Burnett 

All of Tamora Pierce's books but especially The Woman Who Rides Like a Man and Emperor Mage

All of Leverage - it's on netflix!

The Hobbit by JRR Tolkien, which should btw surprise no one.

The Gift of Fear by Gavin de Becker and/or every single Captain Awkward article.

Yu Yu Hakusho, honestly, even though it's an extremely 90's fighting anime. It has all my favorite tropes.

20 - already answered!!

gasp! thank god this won't be as long as it COULD be

30. favorite quote

ugh okay this is really long but the whole thing is SUPER IMPORTANT

"...There is a perception that speaking up for boundaries is somehow introducing conflict into a situation, or at very least, escalating it in an unkind way, like, everything was fine until you spoke up for your needs and now you made it weird.

So I’d like to perform a bit of a mind flip.

When your shoulders are going up around your ears…

When you are spending a lot of time strategizing about how you deal with a person. “I will accept every third invitation…“

When you are avoiding someone you are theoretically supposed to be friendly with…

…things are already uncomfortable enough to speak up about them.

Axiomatic:

NOT speaking up is not making the situation better, it’s just giving the other person more license to operate and even to try harder or communicating that you are okay with the behavior. There is no prize for being the world’s most stoic and accommodating person.

A friendship that cannot survive a the momentary discomfort of you standing up for your needs is not actually a friendship worth holding onto.

Nobody loves being told that they are screwing up, obviously, but if you don’t have the ability to ever take any negative feedback along the lines of “Hey, could you not do that one thing anymore, thanks?” from a friend, YOU are the problem. When told that they are stepping on someone’s foot, good adult people will apologize and get off the foot and not perpetuate a FEELINGSDUMP about their need to really stand on feet sometimes.

Communicating “Hey, that’s where my boundary is, thanks” IS KINDNESS. It is giving the other person the tools they need to be in a good relationship with you.

-Jennifer Peepas (aka Captain Awkward) in #508 & #509: Friendship, Attachment Styles & Boundaries.

Things this episode gave me:

Katara actually being a character again! Look at her being a really awesome and understanding healer!

And, most importantly,

what kind of cat would Hurley be?

I'm not sure Hurley has any catlike qualities except the whole "calls people out on their bullshit" thing. Hurley would be a labradoodle probably. With curly brown hair OuO. And he would pretty much always know when people are sad and he would always do something about it.
