My Mum Was Talking About How She Could Tell That Two People Were Together Romantically Because Of The

My mum was talking about how she could tell that two people were together romantically “because of the way they look at each other” and that pissed me off.

Let people stare with heart eyes at their friends. Let them look softly at their qpp. Let them gaze with longing at their pet. Let them look like they might pounce on a hotdog at any second.

Why does literally everything you do have to be defined by amatonormativity??

I have permission to beat up the next person who calls Aziraphale “naive” or “gullible”. I swear I can’t go five fix-it fics without seeing at least one “Aziraphale was so naive”.

He is not naive. He is traumatised and trapped in a situation where his abusers holds very real power over the lives of him, Crowley and everyone on the planet.

Wanting to believe the people who raised you are good especially when that’s what you’ve been told your entire life is not naive.

Going back to an abusive situation when it’s that or the universe ends and you never get to see the person you love again is not naive.

Aziraphale is not naive or gullible. He knows what’s going on and he is powerless to stop it but that doesn’t mean he isn’t going to try. That doesn’t excuse his actions or dismiss Crowley’s responses. It’s what makes Aziraphale so human. Because he’s so much more complex than people’s anti-Autism victim-blaming 2D stereotype.

“Don’t let your disorder define you”

Okay but do you support the people whose disorders do define them?

Do you support people with the chronic illnesses who have had to develop whole lives around their conditions? Do you support the intellectually disabled people whose whole way of thinking is defined by their disorder? Do you support the people with personality disorders who literally have a disorder as a personality? Do you support the autism/ADHD people whose disorder you can’t separate from who they are? Do you support the DIDOSDD people who have multiple definitions of themselves because of their disorder?

Or are you just saying that because a disorder defining someone means you can’t ignore it.

An accurate depiction of DID

This is an incredible little video ❤️

It's about a woman trying to date while living with DID, and it really did feel accurate to me. Clever use of cuts really helps portray what it's like to switch in the middle of tasks and how... Loud things can get inside your head. It feels... More real and respectful and than anything else I've ever seen, and it approaches relationships in such a... Well, accurate way.

There are two versions-- a full version, which contains a scene with sexual content and a flashback that some may find triggering, and a redacted version with those scenes cut out. I've watched both and can confirm that you can watch the redacted version without missing anything (it was just so well done).
