When She Says That Your Arguments With Your Abuser Were Like Watching A Pantomime Oh Yes It Is Oh No

When she says that your arguments with your abuser were like watching a pantomime “oh yes it is” “oh no it isn’t” while she tried to stop it when what she’s referring to is actually you being frightened and trying to defend yourself while your abuser screamed emotional abuse at you and she stood watching the whole thing (oh and by the way this was going on from birth) :

🤨

THE WORST PART IS HOW ACCURATE THIS IS

i've never gotten over the idea that the show is just entirely will's perspective of the situation with the dark aesthetic and foreboding mood but if we got hannibal's perspective it would be some stupid romcom with this cheerful fucking music

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??

Ever since I found out that we get suicidal thoughts when the brain is put in a stressful situation and the amygdala (the part that makes emotion) takes over and stops rational thoughts being processed properly so that your only go to is your emotional “logic”, I have found it a lot easier to deal with.

Like we misclicked a button and the brain’s best solution was “guess we should just kill ourselves”?? Really?? It couldn’t think of any better solution than dying?? That’s some low grade brain shit just click another button and it’s fine.

No offense but where are the male porn bots

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.
