I need to say something and I need y'all to be calm
if it isn't actively bad or harmful, no representation should be called "too simple" or "too surface level"
I have a whole argument for this about the barbie movie but today I wanna talk about a show called "the babysitters club" on Netflix
(obligatory disclaimer that I watched only two episodes of this show so if it's super problematic I'm sorry) (yes. I know it's based on a book, this is about the show)
this is a silly 8+ show that my 9 year old sister is watching and it manages to tackle so many complex topics in such an easy way. basic premise is these 13 year old girls have a babysitting agency.
in one episode, a girl babysits this transfem kid. the approach is super simple, with the kid saying stuff like "oh no, those are my old boy clothes, these are my girl clothes". they have to go to the doctor and everyone is calling the kid by her dead name and using he/him and this 13 year old snaps at like a group of doctors and they all listen to her. it's pure fantasy and any person versed in trans theory would point out a bunch of mistakes.
but after watching this episode, my little sister started switching to my name instead of my dead name and intercalating he/him pronouns when talking about me.
one of the 13 years old is a diabetic and sometimes her whole personality is taken over by that. but she has this episode where she pushes herself to her limit and passes out and talks about being in a coma for a while because of not recognizing the limits of her disability.
and this allowed my 9 year old sister to understand me better when I say "I really want to play with you but right now my body physically can't do that" (I'm disabled). she has even asked me why I'm pushing myself, why I'm not using my crutches when I complain about pain.
my mom is 50 years old and watching this show with my sister. she said the episode about the diabetic girl helped her understand me and my disability better. she grew up disabled as well, but she was taught to shut up and power through.
yes, silly simple representation can annoy you if you've read thousands of pages about queer liberation or disability radical thought, but sometimes things are not for you.
Eclipse... Puppet... if you wanted to make a good impression on Sun and Moon.... you kinda failed at that!
Eclipse is right. This Sun is selfish, but he's letting too much of his own feelings towards our Sun get in the way. He really wanted to kill this Sun. He might need to talk to Earth about those violent urges.
Puppet may be threatening to kill someone, but it isn't the best idea. I know they're trying to make sure the bad things that happened in our dimension don't happen, but... is this really the best way to go about it? This probably could have been dealt with in a more peaceful manor but I mean, this works too. But seriously, they might wanna start being nicer to Sun and the others... we don't need two Dark Suns.
I did really like this episode, tho. đ
Oh wow okay.

Came up with this while trying to work out where the doctor should fit in emotionally with a fic wip. Basically, Helen can reflect on and accept her emotions, but struggles to act on them (see: Connections), Liv can reflect on and act on her emotions, but otherwise struggles to accept them (see: Absent Friends, Escape from Kaldor), and the Doctor can accept and act on his emotions, but really struggles when he has to reflect on them (see: Stranded).
They all balance each other out quite well methinks.
Okay so turns out full time does not mean what I thought it meant. That would have saved me a lot of time if I had been told that two months ago, but thanks recruitment lady

â DONâT. donât you DARE do that, ty. â she said angrily, her italian accent more prominent. she let out a BITTER laugh, running her fingers through her hair. â donât you d a r e act as if you didnât HURT me with what you did. you.. just donât. â
suppressing the want to roll his eyes at her comment, he grins instead. âouch, that hurt. whatâs your beef with me?â he asks, knowing fully well what it was.
He looks at me like this. Like I did something wrong.
Youâre at the point where youâre just going to surrender it. Youâre not going to force anything or try so hard to figure it out yourself. Youâre just going to be calm, breathe, and allow a breakthrough to occur. Yes, youâve done what you needed to do or how you thought you had to do it. Now itâs about centering yourself, letting it go, and releasing the extra control that triggers fears or doubt to come up. You know the outcome you need; now rest your mind and allow it to happen for you.
