part of the reason why the whole "men/boys are taught not to cry!!!! its so sad for them!!!!" thing bothers me is because so many women i know went through childhood and young adult life staring into the middle distance in order to be taken seriously as people. its devastating to learn as a child that crying is associated with "femininity" weakness and hysteria and to witness all around you how these farcical patriarchal claims are used to dismiss women's distress. different human emotions being assigned specific genders and "feminine emotions" specifically being belittled and degraded can actually make women recoil from them in order to be treated like a person, isn't that funny

Freshly turned Angel tricked his little sister into inviting him in so he could torment and kill his whole family in their home

Spike didn’t even seek revenge on Cecily for the rejection that led to his death and just went straight to trying to save his mother….

HOLD UP REALIZING THIS AS I AM WRITING THIS POST:

Angel could no longer enter the home he shared with his family without an invite once he became a Vampire but presumably Spike could because he surprises his mother INSIDE the house. Meaning so much of William stayed with him HIS HOUSE WAS STILL HIS HOME even as a brand new vampire 😭😭😭😭🤚🏻

Uh Oh: The Third Person Omniscient Narrator Of Your Life Just Started Repeating The Opening Paragraphs Verbatim

Six months since the last TAD update…just a small little crumb is all I’m asking for…

i’m so tired of the old “they’re a bad person so have no feelings” shtick. abusers get up every day and do normal human things just like you. they don’t wake up and go “ohoho how can i be horrible to as many people as possible today” they wake up and go “should i have eggs and bacon or just a bowl of cereal.” they think “i should take out the trash.” they think “my favorite show is on tonight at 9pm, i should set up a reminder so i don’t miss it.” they think “man, i haven’t called my mom in a while, i should do that.”

the most important thing we always need to remember is that whoever hurt us is also human. and no, it’s not for forgiveness or rationalizing the abuse. it’s so that we don’t forget that abusive people act exactly like everyone else most of the time. it’s so that we don’t assume our friends could never be abusers just because we never see that side of them. it’s so that we don’t ignore the red flags purely because of the presence of the green ones. “bad people” are not a different species, and the more you think that way, the more you are going to get hurt.

idc if we get a s4 announcement, I just want them to do this again

Classic sea shanties like:

"I fucking hate this ship and I cannot wait to get off."

"I got off the ship on the dock but I know I'm going to get back on the ship when my leave is up. Fuck."

"Storm."

"Big storm."

"Is it just me or does this ship have like. Really clean lines. Like damn. Okay. Not saying I'm feeling attracted to the ship, per se, but. Damn."

"Sometimes you see weird shit that you cannot explain and you just kinda have to shrug and go. Welp."
