"Bruce loves his children to infinity but sucks at communication" gotta be one of my favourite tropes.
What Bruce means: I miss you so much it hurts, you are a great hero, and I'm really glad that you still consider me as part of your life and share your thoughts with me.
What Bruce does: hums meaningfully in response to Dick's story.
What Bruce means: I'm sorry about everything that happened between us, I still love you and want to fix our relationship, I'm incredibly grateful that you don't avoid me.
What Bruce does: nods at Jason when sees him on the patrol.
What Bruce means: I deeply care about you, you are truly important to me, I worry about your health and I don't want you to repeat my mistakes, neglecting yourself for the sake of a mission.
What Bruce does: gives Tim a snack without any explanation.
What Bruce means: I'm very proud that, despite everything you were taught, you choose to be a good person and help people, you have a kind soul, and it's an honour to me to call you my son.
What Bruce does: gives Damian an intensive head pat.
Should I say that Cassie is a blessing?
They stare at each other's soul for a solid five minutes and it's basically a full ass conversation.
had a cis coworker try to disdainfully explain otherkin to me. "they genuinely believe they're animals" he said to me. i said "buddy, some people genuinely believe in the free market." and he went "huh. yeah."
Note: I am by no means a professional in health or otherwise. This is personal experience. I made this as a metaphor to help my parents understand me better.
i think as adults itās our responsibility to be nice to kids and treat them with the respect we wish we got at that age and im not kidding or exaggerating in the least
hey so I want my blog to be a positive space. I just feel like sometimes thereās some things no one in my surroundings would fully grasp, yk? Because I interact with them irl daily, and Iāve built up these walls and these masks and on the internet I feel like I have a little less of that. Because the screen is a wall and the user is my mask so I donāt really need one.
anyway, I just wanted to say.
I told myself that if I made a change in a single personās life, I could be happy. I would be happy. Just a real, tangible, true positive impact on another human. Well the other day I was feeling kinda bad abt myself and one of my closest friends told me āmeeting you was the best thing that happened to be in Peruā (he moved here several months ago).
I shouldāve been happy. But babes. It just felt empty inside. And I realized, god fucking dammit, I did it again, didnāt I? I created this idea in my head o to be as a person. I thought then. Then, surely. I could finally love myself. I would finally be myself without all this in my head.
But I didnāt believe him.
he told me exactly what I wanted to hear. And I simply didnāt believe him. what the fuck??
and then I realized I had been doing this a lot. People would compliment me and instead of feeling good Iād think ah shit, theyāve been fooled again because in my head Iām not a good person. And for others to perceive me as so just feels like a lie. A lot of people tell me that Iām pretty, that Iām smart, that Iām kind of im mature. And I donāt believe ~shit~ anymore.
im so tired. Iām so sorry you had to read this lol
