#tw abuse reference

[waywardsunlight]

There’s something really wild about a piece of media like TOH where you wish that the characters could go back to being happy but ultimately they’ve been changed for the better, and sometimes you have to face things that you’re struggling with rather than try to go through life and pretend you’re okay with your situation. And sometimes going through that realization and push away from who you were is extremely traumatic especially when you have to face the fact that you were being abused or facing the fact that you’re not over the loss and grief that you endured, and facing that living in a society as a disabled person can fucking suck and that’s not your fault but we all react to society in different ways and sometimes that causes harm to the people we love. 

Ultimately you have to face certain things in order to move forward, you have to recognize why you’re acting in a certain way and what you’re responding to. And if you don’t, you can get trapped in a constant state of pretending you’re fine and conforming so hard to expectations and ideals set for you that it warps into something fucking awful. But recognizing your grief and recognizing the truth about who you are and what you want ultimately helps you be a better, happier person and in the end, I think Luz is gonna be okay.

ACT II

Something clicked in Ez’s head the moment they saw Black Cat, bloodied and unconscious on the living room floor. He was guarded by a bristling lightless void that filled half of the living room- a patron, they assumed. His patron.

“Harry?” Ez called, trying to keep their voice even.

This is just the beginning of the carnage, a voice reminded, unless you put it to an end.

Harry said something as he rushed in. It sat in Ez’s head, an unprocessed string of vowels and consonants. They murmured an apology.

Queenpin and Mysteria had done it, undoubtedly- he’d always been uncomfortably willing to put himself on the line when it came to these things. He was being stupid, but so was Ez. They should’ve been there. They should’ve stopped him. They should’ve ended this before someone got seriously hurt.

Their boots crunched across the gravel parking lot in some far flung end of the city. They didn’t know how they got there, but they knew what they had to do.

That was the crux of power and responsibility, wasn’t it? All this time, Ez had carried a leftover sense of futility- a little girl who couldn’t fix her mom, who couldn’t stop her dad, who couldn’t help her sister. But things had changed. They had a choice.

The choice to explode.

how's it going with you and harry?

Besides me trying to get him his new identity, things are fine. The kid is incredibly skittish, and seems to try his best to appease me if I show even a bit of frustration.

I don't believe this is do to me removing him from his parents care, as he asked me to do so. I've also noticed he's taken to hoarding food, but I refuse to bring that up to him, and he generally tried to stay as quiet and out of the way as possible.

Lyn has taken great offense to that, so I've had him play with her at least once a day for 30 minutes to hopefully have him ease up.

Even if no one else believes you. I do. Both batman is an abuser and superman is a danger to us all and should never marry.

I think I'm being gaslighted by people. It's so awful.

raleigh, marley, arlo!

ARLO BOOTH: Do you get jealous easily? What do other people have that you wish you had?

Nico doesn't get jealous easily. The way he sees it, is that once he starts seeing others and thinking could have been, it makes it so much harder to move on. But if there was one thing that makes him think twice -- family.

MARLEY REID: If you could change one thing about yourself, what would it be?

His physique, of course. If he'd just been bigger, better, faster-- maybe things would have turned out slightly differently for him.

RALEIGH EVERHART: Do you control your temper or does it control you?

In comparison to the rest of his family, Nico has very good control of his temper. It would take something big for him to get angry at anyone. He hates having anger directed at him, and in turn, would never deal it out to anyone else if he could help it.

So Sesame Street is doing some sort of See Amazing campaign about autism, and they posted a picture of a child and a blurp written (presumably) by his parents, and... it gives me that creepy feeling that autism parents give me. Like it mentions that even though he didn’t say his first words til three, “through early intervention” this is changing and and that “every word that comes out of his mouth brings us such joy” and I’m just trying to silence the alarm bells that ring “ABA? Are they referring to ABA? Is that the ‘early intervention’? Why does he have to talk with his mouth parts for you to be proud of him? Oh no oh no is this little boy okay? Is he safe? Oh no...” :C
