“stop traumadumping to your friends tell this to your therapist” my god they paywalled human connection

“If a friend of mine gave a feast, and did not invite me to it, I should not mind a bit. but if a friend of mine had a sorrow and refused to allow me to share it, I should feel it most bitterly. If he shut the doors of the house of mourning against me, I would move back again and again and beg to be admitted so that I might share in what I was entitled to share. If he thought me unworthy, unfit to weep with him, I should feel it as the most poignant humiliation.”

Oscar Wilde

today my bf and i were talking about visiting my home for the holidays and i was (sadly) wondering aloud if i should cut my hair and our kid was like "why would you cut your hair??? your hair is cool" and not knowing how to explain it to him i said "my family doesnt think boys should have long hair" to which he went silent, wordlessly pulled out his phone and then swiftly held it out with a picture of keeanu reeves on his phone

^ POV u are me witnessing my 15 year old decimate decades of transphobia in an instant

I have known multiple women who had beautiful German Shepherds who loved them, tolerated their children and bit their shitty husbands all the fucking time at the drop of a hat. The one I remember most strongly was a friend of my parents when I was about nine and utterly enthralled with her beautiful shepherd named Watson who patiently endured my obsession. Specifically, I remember the husband cautioning my mom about it and my mom responding, “oh Jesus, Steve, we all know Watson only bites you.”

I’m not a responsible enough dog trainer to have a German Shepherd but I admire this trait so much.

Watson looked to my child self like one of the wolves from Twilight (huge, fluffy, majestic) and did not like annoying children and I loved him so much and could not leave him alone and he never bit me. Steve, a serial philanderer, once allowed his shadow to cross over Watson’s face and needed seven stitches.

German shepherds are dogs who make moral choices.

Fandom is amazing we’re all just writing stories for each other and making gifs and video edits and fanart and for what? For sharing the joy of it, the love of it. So we can look at another human and see ourselves

Every time I talk to an irl person about what I do here they’re like “are you going to monetize that” and I’m like, you do not understand. You do not get the point. I am doing 10-15 hours a week of academic research and writing for pure and simple love of my clan. Tumblr is my cave and we’re all just in here drawing pictographs on the walls, leave your currency OUTSIDE.

depiction is not the same as glorification and I need people to get that 

depiction from the POV of a character who thinks it’s okay is still not glorification
