Remember how as a kid I got diagnosed with Oppositional Defiant Disorder, instead of getting evaluated for like, autism or having people recognize I was being abused and my white mother was purposely calling the police on me whenever I had like a panic attack or smth and ended up getting traumatized by police numerous times. Or the way my mother sent me to (white, Christian) foster care when she didn’t want to deal with me?
I'm so emotional I finished reading TSC on my way to work this morning 😭 I may start asking for scenes to draw soon while it's all still fresh in my head, but PLEASE send suggestions to my inbox so other people aren't spoiled! All future art for the book will be heavily tagged (but it'll be a few weeks before I actually post anything)

tbh at this point people's knee-jerk reactions to reading (i'm not talking fiction i'm not talking literature i'm talking reading anything longer than 5 paragraphs) has stopped being "oh this is a bit silly" like, if anything it is deeply, profoundly jarring and unsettling.
When you hate a character and stop to analyze WHY you hate them and realize it's a more complicated and deep reason tied to your past self and actions, so you end up not only accepting your past and move on from it, but also the character... you don't hate them. You don't condone or agree with their choices and how they treated others, but it's not hate anymore.
sometimes i just want to shut up on here. i am very insecure about my habit of talking a lot. i just keep on yapping in the flow and when there are people coming and telling me "you should talk less and post fics more" it really hits a nerve, yk? sigh. anyway, now i don't feel like talking at all
