alright so I know literally no one cares about this but it’s my social media I’m doing what I want /lh

I’ve been seeing a lot of slander about justin russo on the internet lately and I’m currently hyperfixated on wizards of waverly place so here’s why justin is an awesome character/doesn’t deserve the hate he gets

He’s kind and treats those he loves well. Justin is canonically really good at comforting people. Although he argues with Alex a lot, at the end of the day, he’s also her older brother and genuinely cares about her. When Professor Crumbs threatens to take Alex’s magic away because she doesn’t turn her report card in, Justin says that Crumbs will also have to take his magic away. Justin is ultimately selfless. We see again and again the sacrifices he makes for Alex and I think we mainly see his kindness in that relationship. Despite that, I think he’s also notably kind to Juliet. When he finds out that he made the mistake of reporting Juliet and her parents, he instantly tries to fix it. Not only does he try to fix it, but he puts his job as Monster Hunter in jeopardy for Juliet and her parents - her parents haven’t even been that nice to him. Justin is ultimately selfless and at the end of the day, he sacrifices himself or what he wants for others. When Rosie turns back into a good angel, instead of selfishly continuing to date her and keeping her in the mortal world (which he could have done - she literally offers to stay with him), he gives her up because he realizes the world needs a guardian angel more than he needs a girlfriend. Even though it hurts because he loved her, he gives her up. There’s no “award” for doing this - he won’t move up a level in the wizard competition, he really won’t get any recognition for giving Rosie up. He doesn’t even get any recognition for turning the moral compass back to good. He does it because it’s the right thing to do. Although later I’ll argue that Justin is constantly seeking validation, I also think that the heroic/good things he does are often done with no expectation of being praised for it. He does them because he has a strong sense of morals. He’s also kind to Harper, Zeke, his parents, and even Max, who people rarely ever show kindness to in the show.

He’s in touch with his emotions. When the show starts, Justin is very against anything that will show him as feminine or emotional. In fact, he even says he’s allergic to emotions (or something like that) to cover for the fact that he’s crying over his missing dog. As the show goes on, we see Justin start to embrace and accept his emotions more and to lose touch with his toxic masculinity. I think dating Juliet changed him in a lot of ways (making him more relaxed, etc), and I think one was encouraging him to be more emotional. After Wizards vs. Vampires, Justin is pretty emotional and open about his emotions in the show. He’s even open with talking about them. In the movie, he opens up to Alex about how he feels like Jerry & Theresa wouldn’t love him as much if he were less “perfect,” which brings me to my next point.

At the end of the day, Justin is a sad character. I know it’s a kid’s show but they really do cover a lot of issues so bear w me. I’m hyperfixated and I like to over analyze shows so I’ve thought about this a lot. Justin is the oldest, which means he already deals with pressure to be perfect. Then, add in the fact that his parents are constantly describing him as the “perfect child” and putting him on a pedestal, while pitting the kids against each other as a result of the wizard culture bc of the family competition (I love Jerry & Theresa but they’re not perfect). He’s also a high achiever and we know he puts extreme pressure on himself to do well - they always make a joke about it but it’s actually quite sad. He literally feels poorly about himself when he gets a B and bases his entire self worth on his grades and skills as a wizard. In fact, in the movie he voices doubt about whether or not he’s good at anything other than magic. I have a few things I want to say about all of this. First of all, I think Justin is constantly seeking validation. I think as the oldest and “best” child, he feels the need to be perfect all the time, but he also does many of the things he does because he just wants validation. When Harper decides to run a marathon, Justin does too, and sadly his accomplishment of finishing it is overshadowed by Harper “winning.” I also think Justin feels threatened by the success of others because he thinks it invalidates his. When he opens up to Alex in the movie, he says that he’s jealous of her because it seems like everything comes naturally to her. Justin feels as if his parents loving his siblings takes away from their love from his. It’s irrational, but very real. Which brings me to my next point - Justin has generalized anxiety disorder. It makes sense - the overthinking, the outbursts he has (Alex refers to it as a conniption once) of panic or frustration, the overachieving, etc. As someone who probably has autism, I also think he’s autistic (which would explain his troubles with tone, struggle making friends, obsessions with things like Captain Jim Bob Sherwood and science, being better w robots than people, and so much more).

Ultimately, Justin has a strong moral backbone. Although he’s a stickler for the rules and this oftentimes leads him to do bad things initially, he always does the right thing in the end. For example, when Justin and Alex go to court and Justin duplicates himself to be his lawyer, his lawyer ultimately proves that Justin is guilty; he even says something along the lines of “We’re Justin Russo. We always do what’s moral and just.” Justin has a strong sense of justice (which could also be from being autistic but I could do a whole other post about neurodivergency coding in WOWP and Disney & Nick shows overall bc there’s a ton of coding) and does what he thinks is right, most of the time. Sure, sometimes he does bad things, but he’s also a teenager at the end of the day and he’s highly competitive.

Finally, Justin Russo is super progressive - in fact, he’s probably the most progressive characters of the show. He acknowledges climate change and actively tries to create a solution for it. In fact, for his science fair project he makes a water powered engine, which would reduce carbon emissions. He also wears a shirt at one point that says “Make art not war.” I will admit that his biases against the werewolf he dated were problematic, but he clearly grew from that because he never held any of that against Mason. He’s also into science and is a nerd and although this is a stereotype, most young people who are into science and are nerds are progressive. I’m pretty sure he also is well aware of current events and would probably read the newspaper. Also I myself headcanon Justin as trans and bi (again could make another post about characters in wowp that are queer)

Little note even tho probably no one will see this - this is all just for fun. If you disagree with anything I said, just say it politely hahsh. Also please don’t make fun of me for this WOWP is a huge hyperfixation and comfort thing for me rn and I just wanted to make a silly little post where I analyze one of my comfort characters. Also I kin Justin so pls don’t like hate on him in the comments.

mobile-friendly rules

GENERAL INFO

❔ #getinthefunvee

❔ semi-private: will generally only write with mutuals, but very happy to meet new people.

❔ exclusivity: is pre-pubescent and used as a cliquey gatekeeping & ostracising mechanism 99% of the time. I do not practice character or ship exclusivity; I will side-eye you if you do, and I will not tolerate it on my dash, and I will lay the verbal smack-down if I see you using it to bully someone else. I've been playing with some muns for nearly 5 years, and at least one for more than a decade; if anyone was going to be an exclusive, it would be those friends, but exclusivity = possessiveness and it's really, really not the way to roll your adult relationships. Note: if you choose to make me your exclusive Tony for any reason (ie, if you generally hate Tony interaction and want to avoid it, emotional safety reasons, whatever) please give me a heads up. Please be aware that, as stated above, I will not do exclusivity in return.

❔ basic etiquette: human decency is expected. Do not attempt to god-mod (it's so 90s), force-ship, engage in pass-aggro nastiness, harassment, or any other asshattery. Thanks.

❔ Personals et al are very welcome to follow and 'like' RP posts and to reblog non-RP content. Please don't reblog RP threads you aren't participating in; it's creepy, and I will call you out on it.

❔ multi-muse, side & personal journals: I will not follow you back if you run a multi-muse blog or RP from your persona that heavily features muses from fandoms I’m not familiar withl; I really need to limit dash clutter in order to be able to focus. (ADD & autism are gr8 that way.) That doesn't mean I won't RP with you on your multi-muse blog, and I'm very happy to RP with side blogs, but I will not RP with personals.

❔ OCs, female characters, obscure canon characters: This shouldn’t need to be said, but: Yes please! I look for fully-formed characters whose creation you've put thought into; this goes for 'popular' canon characters in equal measure.

❔ crossovers: Please check with me first to make sure I'm familiar with your fandom.

❔ cut your replies: Please cut your replies & repost asks as new posts when replying. (note: this is not the same as 'read mores'; I'm happy to explain the difference.) I will not follow you if you never cut your replies.

❔ You must have rules or, at the very least, your age stated somewhere on your blog. I will always read your rules before interacting, and I ask that you please do the same.

ABOUT THIS BLOG

❕ est Dec 2012

❕ 21 or over for intermittent content which may not always be tagged; I will generally not play with you if you are under 21 as I may not be comfortable writing certain content [because I'll feel like a dinosaur]. I will not RP with anyone under 18 years old, regardless of thread content or your geographical location's 'legal age.' This is not up for discussion, though I'm happy to explain the legal ramifications (for you and your RP partners around the world) of lying about your age. tl;dr I'm not going to jail so you can have smut. Thanks.

❕ safe space: This blog is fiercely inclusive. I make a point of avoiding ableist or bigoted language and terminology. Please come talk to me in chat or send an ask and tell me if I screw up. note: If you ever need to talk about anything, or if you're having a really bad day, I'm here for you & wouldn't want you to feel alone. Seriously. Come talk to me. I do have chat set to mutuals only thanks to the huge influx of spam messages I was getting, but you can always unfollow me after we’re done talking (I won’t be upset) or send me an ask if that's easier.

❕ triggers: I will tag genuine triggers when asked (please don't conflate squicks with triggers). I don't have any triggers, but I prefer not to see child abuse, domestic violence, incest, or pregnancy on my dash; if you regularly include that content, I will generally unfollow. Please see below for a comprehensive list. Triggers will be tagged 'triggery thing tw' and added to the tag dump post.

❕ formatting: usually no fancier than small text +/- 66x66 or 100x100 icon (depending on the size you use), but I will try to match your style. If you need any special formatting to make it easier for you to read, please tell me. I'm very happy to comply.

❕ pre-established relationships: I'm happy to discuss these.

❕ readmores: used rarely, but will always use for explicit dubcon/noncon content & graphic stuff.

❕ memes: generally mutuals only but will always be tagged as 'mutuals only', so if you don't see that, feel free to interact. I do my best to observe reblog karma but don't expect you to; it's all good.

❕ open posts: will be tagged clearly; generally open only to mutuals, sometimes character-specific (will specify in tags).

❕ shipping: multiship; not ship exclusive. Shipping is dependent wholly on muse interaction and never guaranteed. Tony is demiromantic and pansexual; he may or may not be open to poly setups depending on verse. He's experimental, inclusive, and flexible. Got a kink? Bring it. BDSM? He'll want to know your safeword. Three/four/eightway? He's probably into it. That in mind, I'm on the ace spectrum (see below) so mature-content threads aren't going to be that common and will generally, though not always, fade to black.

YES PLEASE

✅ duplicates, multiple 'canon' realities, AUs, cross-fandom, What Ifs

✅ crossovers, especially within Marvel & DC

✅ AUs: love, love, love. Give me your tropey coffee shop AU; better yet, give me your research-worthy Mesopotamian AU, time-travel AU, etc. I'm utter trash for Sentinel!verse (and if you don't know what that is, come at me).

✅ plot-development, complex characterization

✅ conscious, intentional, creative abuse of grammar/syntax

✅ any gender identity/lack thereof; sexual orientation/lack thereof; neurodivergent characters; disabled characters

✅ LGBT, non-cis/het, POC, or other minority versions of canonically white cis straight Christian etc characters

✅ female versions of canonically (cis)male characters

✅ dark, edgy, angsty themes up to and including psychological & physical torture, abuse, and character death

✅ complex and conscientious portrayals of trauma and mental health issues

NO THANKS

❎ self-insertion (omnipotent manic pixie Gary-Stu/Mary-Stu characters make me cringe)

❎ pages of ooc

❎ pages of graphic porn

❎ you RP nothing but smut of a variety that squicks me, such as (below) and don't put it behind readmores: - A/B/O, especially if it involves 'mating'/'breeding', pregnancy (esp cis male or cis female pregnancy), etc. Really major squick; - BDSM that uses an abundance of misogynistic language like 'slut'; 'daddy/mommy' themes; pet play; romanticising unhealthy abusive relationships ('50 Shades of Nope' comes to mind) by framing them as consensual BDSM.

❎ consistent grammar/spelling errors (note: ignore if English isn't your primary language; I’m happy to help if that’s something you want, and I speak a few languages so I might be able to RP in your language)

❎ lots of family/baby/child content

❎ 'child of'/'sibling of' & non-canon family member/friend characters

❎ anthropomorphic, furry, or 'real people' characters

❎ SuperWhoLock, anime

❎ gatekeeping, canon-snobbery, constant negativity

❎ erasure of any minority group (ie male versions of canonically female characters; suspiciously white FCs for canonically POC characters, etc)

❎ messianic anything; proselytizing

ABOUT THE MUN

✩ ari (aka kai), 30s, London (GMT)

✩ working in medicine, re-qualifying for med school entry; usually not around much Tue-Fri due to work (replies are sometimes queued & I'm usually happy to do short stuff like texts during the week)

✩ thoroughly spoken for; married to cap.co.vu (but thanks for asking *fingerguns*)

✩ introvert: very social at times (I tend to 'read' as an extrovert), but I need more distance when out of social energy. Feel free to ask me about this. I will love you forever if you respect the need for space, and will not like you very much if you insta-pounce 10x daily when I've gone quiet.

✩ jewitchy = unrepentantly jewish + low-key hedge witch (observant Reform/Conservative Jew; dash of pagan)

✩ grey-a + demi, greyromantic, as impossibly flirty as Tony Stark

✩ ADD, autism (psa: you can be super direct with me), major depressive disorder, EBS (epidermolysis bullosa), mild anxiety (when out of social energy)

✩ sharp-spoken, sharply-dressed, stickler for punctuation, polyglot, menace to society, method RPer, (mostly) good human being, guaranteed at least 80% carbon-based lifeform, will use elbows on the Tube, well-travelled, great ass (thanks, yoga!), hearts horseback riding, BDSM, dismantling the patriarchy

✩ ask box is always open, Discord available by request, IM/chat is gr8

If you feel like it, send me your favourite trope as a way of letting me know you've read these. I'm not going to ask for any sort of specific symbol, codeword, etc to prove it, but I will presume you have and act accordingly. If you feel compelled to acknowledge any specific parts that jump out at you or query something that doesn't sit right with you, we'll probably be bffs.

day six

yesterday was dumb

i also, on top of my dumbass behaviour

shoplifted for the first time

bluetooth headphones on clearance $7.something

i had the money

i dont know why i did it

they arent even that good

but at least i dont have to worry about the chords breaking

because all of my headphones, have been breaking

i say im rule abiding

“when she was at f****** she tried to get expelled by not wearing her blazer to and from school, my little stickler.”

i find myself saying something to the same effect often

but i think, maybe, thats my mum

and i, enjoy breaking rules

or, i spent so long complying that im enjoying not complying right now

but, im not really enjoying it

but i keep doing it anyway

i dont have much of a guilty conscience

and every time i do something im not allowed to

my anxiety dissipates

i really, can, do what i want

if i get caught, i dont care

so i’ll do drugs

drive without a supervisor

shoplift

whatever else i decide to

because who. fucking. cares.

i dont care about the consequences

the not caring scares me

WHY DO NURSES ALWAYS LEAVE THE DOOR OPEN

IT WAS SHUT WHEN YOU CAME TO CHECK

WHAT MAKES YOU THINK I WANT IT OPEN NOW

the kitchen now knows i’m vegan

lunch - pumpkin soup

i ate it because i felt bad for being that vegan pain in the ass

dinner - something. i have no clue but there was RICE

i ate it because the same nurse that threatened to keep my chords if i didnt eat on day one, accused me of not eating lunch, or at all while being here

“i asked them, they said you havent”

“i promise i ate lunch”

“eat now”

so i did

she walked past a few times, i was only eating so she could put it on my notes that it happened

i made eye contact

i thought she saw

but she didnt.

later she came to my room

“you didnt eat dinner. you arent eating or drinking.”

“I ATE DINNER JUST LIKE I ATE LUNCH I PROMISE YOU SAW ME”

“i didnt see you. why are you lying to me?”

“i’m not lying, the reason i havent left my room is because im freaking out. i ate lunch, and dinner, and i ate last night, its too much and i hate myself”

i start tearing up.

“you havent been throwing up have you? its bad for your teeth.”

“no, i havent. but i’ll be honest, i tried and i couldn’t. i havent done it in weeks but i needed to today. but i didnt.”

“good.... why are you lying about eating.”

“I PROMISE YOU I ATE. IM REALLY FUCKING MAD ABOUT IT BECUAUSE I ONLY ATE SO YOU WOULD SEE I WAS AND WRITE IT DOWN BUT YOU DIDNT EVEN SEE AND YOU DONT BELIEVE ME. IM TRYING.”

i start welling up again.

“maybe you should be admitted to an eating disorder ward”

“i mean, its not that bad, its not good but... im managing, like, i know, i know what to do and... i dont actually have an eating disorder”

“dont throw up. its bad for your teeth.”

i didnt tell her about the laxatives i stashed in the lining of my bag while i was out

that i took five of after dinner

its not really laxative abuse, its only one more than the recommended dose

no unescorted leave, my nurse this morning asked about visitors. but i dont get visitors

while the girl in the room next door has her mum and other family here literally, all the time

and literally everyone elses parents or friends, visit, often

apart from the girl who lives in another state, which, duh.

someone complained about their mum not coming in for one day

“shes such a bitch like, we dont even live that far away its not like she couldnt come”

she comes literally, every. single. day.

should i be more bitter about my lack of visitors?

im not, but im bitter about others not appreciating that they have people, that visit, that care

i dont think i would even know how to have a visitor

i have had visitors about as many times as you could count on one hand

i dont particularly enjoy it

i also dont enjoy when i ask someone to come, and they tell me they cant

its better not to ask at all

^^ that is where im at

i think im still a bit torn

but im still going to do it

and its going to work

the only thing stopping me is, if it doesnt

i cant deal with that again

someone i know is in the ICU right now, after driving his car in to a pole, on purpose

and im an asshole because im wondering why he didnt drive it in to a wall, or off a bridge. the pole gave him more chance of survival. i’m glad hes alive, but, if i were him i wouldnt want to be.

maybe i dont want to die, and thats why im here

or maybe i do want to die, and thats why im here

i cant allow myself the things i want

hospital just feels like purgatory

i need to either leave and live

or leave and die

leave and die seems to be where ive landed

so being here is making me feel restless

suicidality feels so trivial

and dumb

so i dont like to talk about it

dont talk, just act

but these thoughts are huge burden to carry

i think i am not myself

not that i have ever been myself

but im definitely a different something that is not of sound mind

and i dont like that

because i want to be of sound mind

im not allowed to be crazy

but i am not well

someone who is well does not, well,

me.

i think im unwell because my hair is long again

last time i was here my hair was this length (but i wasnt this unwell)

its definitely that

i let my ex cut it all off

i hate having short hair

im keeping it long

even if long hair causes mental illness

(i know it doesnt but, i’m reaching.)

i finished the coraline graphic novel, i have started and never finished it countless times

i wanted to know how it ended today

i know how the movie ends

but maybe this would be different.

different version of events

similar ending

this page, was oddly, yup

i was social for an hour tonight,

one of the girls (big top energy) lost her phone

i offered to call it (i dont have her number)

then, i froze

thats how i got my ex’s number

she lost her phone around that exact couch

i called her phone

she then had my number.

(this time, someone else actually had her number so they did it)

big top energy girl is not for me though

but, the situation was, odd

and i think i understand transferrence a little more now

talking to people, just makes me realise how out of sorts i am

i only socialise when i think i am more ok

and i then realise im not

my speech is all over the place

sometimes i cant talk

i dont understand half the things people say to me

people dont understand half the things i say to them

i blank, a lot

i zone out a lot

i say odd things

i dont process

i cant participate

its exhausting

on repeat (not sure why. just, a good song?)

wordsearch count - 8 (ive given up on the wordsearches. i found one that i wanted to do but it had the name of someone ~not great~ in it so i dont want to touch the pile. but what happened was fine right? obviously ive processed that well. obviously it hasnt affected me.
