“In the war film, a soldier can hold his buddy—as long as his buddy is dying on the battlefield. In the western, Butch Cassidy can wash the Sundance Kid’s naked flesh—as long as it is wounded. In the boxing film, a trainer can rub the well-developed torso and sinewy back of his protege—as long as it is bruised. In the crime film, a mob lieutenant can embrace his boss like a lover—as long as he is riddled with bullets. 

Violence makes the homo-eroticism of many “male” genres invisible; it is a structural mechanism of plausible deniability.”

When a person with ADHD complains of severe anxiety, I recommend that the clinician not immediately accept the patient’s label for her emotional experience. A clinician should say, “Tell me more about your baseless, apprehensive fear,” which is the definition of anxiety. More times than not, a person with ADHD hyperarousal will give a quizzical look and respond, “I never said I was afraid.” If the patient can drop the label long enough to describe what the feeling is like, a clinician will likely hear, “I am always tense; I can’t relax enough to sit and watch a movie or TV program. I always feel like I have to go do something.” The patients are describing the inner experience of hyperactivity when it is not being expressed physically.

At the same time, people with ADHD also have fears that are based on real events in their lives. People with ADHD nervous systems are consistently inconsistent. The person is never sure that her abilities and intellect will show up when they are needed. Not being able to measure up at the job or at school, or in social circles is humiliating. It is understandable that people with ADHD live with persistent fear. These fears are real, so they do not indicate an anxiety disorder.

holy SHIT

Random headcanon: the reason that Peach and Bowser don’t seem to get a lot of respect in some Super Mario games is because the Mushroom Kingdom is kind of a rural backwater and isn’t terribly important or influential politically, so people tend to regard Bowser as a C-list villain for being so hung up on such an insignificant conquest. Nobody really expects Bowser to be a serious threat – that would be like expecting a guy whose main claim to fame is repeatedly failing to conquer Wyoming to be a serious threat – so they get taken by surprise every single time.

OH SHIT ITS WORF WEDNESDAY

LETS GET THIS PEGGED

Kink is not sex. But kink is very intense adult intimacy in the same way that sex is. Just as minors are unlikely to understand the consequences of a sexual relationship with an adult, they are equally unlikely to understand the emotional and psychological impact of power dynamics, or the intense symbolism behind vore, or the implications of being hurt for pleasure. Sex and kink are also often combined, such that involving someone in the latter necessarily introduces them to the former.

Kink and sex being separate things is not an invitation to bring minors into something that (a) is just as emotionally and psychologically intense as sex, if not more so, and (b) overlaps with sex frequently and thoroughly enough to be a risk for that anyway.

"kinks can be nonsexual" is already one of the stupidest fucking things a disturbingly large portion of this site somehow seems to believe but i also wanna say that mindset facilitates incredibly predatory behavior

Anyone else have their mom call for them angrily from across the house, like full "First Middle Last," and you're panicking trying to figure out what you could've done wrong and so you get to her room where she then says "Can you get me X thing from the kitchen? :)" as if your fear of authority is some kind of joke that should be exploited for her amusement?

Yeah, me neither.

if vivian had a tumblr account you guys would mark it as nsfw then ban it

it's really weird having a first dog be blind and then getting a second who can see...like how was I supposed to be prepared for this.

this creature can perceive when I put the treats up on the high shelf. or when I hide stuff behind my back. I can't fool her!! she's always watching me and she shouldn't have this much knowledge!!!

I walk around at night and I shine my flash light directly into her eyes and I'll just be standing there staring at her weird blue orbs for like 5 seconds until I realize it's probably extremely annoying to her, because she has eyes!! I'll turn on the light in the room and she gruffs and grumbles like ?? oh right!! light wakes you up!! the fuck??

dinosaur sprinkles. look at this post with your eyes if you agree
