My favorite genre of buddy comedy
Having people accept and accommodate my autism is the best feeling. I love finding a quiet corner to sit in with my other autistic friends, but when it’s neurotypical friends, it means even more. They aren’t doing this for them, but only for me. I used to (and often still do) think of myself as less than because of my autism and other mental illness, but this helps me remind me that I’m not. Yes, I’m disabled but that doesn’t make me weird or worse.
can you infodump to me? (i love you) is this overwhelming? (i love you) is this the right texture? (i love you) is it ok to touch you? (i love you) do you want the subtitles on? (i love you) do you want to go somewhere less noisy? (i love you)
The energy in this episode is so aggressively “we have been filming for way too long.” Thinking about Brennan a few Adventuring Parties ago saying something like “you think this is crazy. Check out a few weeks from now.” He was correct
I wonder what would have happened if in that moment Ellie screamed “Dad” instead of “Joel.”
Would Abby have stopped or killed him faster?
Calling myself a dyke helped me accept that I’m a lesbian. It was a way for me to face the fact that I am everything I was taught as a child not to be; I am everything I was taught that’s wrong. “So what if I am that?” is exactly right.
christ i'm actually seeing people insist that dyke is not a slur now as if that's a necessary justification for wlw to be able to say it? why are people so fucking terrified of what reclamation actually means? the point isn't to make a weapon used against you so meaningless that target feels safe to sell it back to you on a shirt, it is transgressive and shocking to say "so what if i am that? i am the words that have been the last thing people have fucking heard before being bashed". don't insert yourself into a words history and then deny its weaponization, WIELD IT against your oppressors!!

10th grade English really did a number on me. As soon as Brennan went “the boats are beat ceaselessly back…” I went “it’s the Great Gatsby!” I hope that my teacher is proud
I put the spinach in a smoothie. The whole thing tastes like spinach. Life was a mistake
I did NOT need to be called out like this. Yes, I spent this morning eating spinach directly from the bag. I do not understand what to do with spinach. I know I am supposed to eat it so I will take it like medicine. I am glad to know I am not alone in this experience
Kipperlilly is an NPC and her whole thing is that she’s upset she isn’t more interesting. She’s literally mad she isn’t a main character. Doomed by the narrative from the start. Doomed by the method of her own creation. Never given a choice to be anything different. Never given any choices at all.
Imagine for a moment you’re one of Lou Wilson’s new neighbors. This guy moves in driving the joker-mobile. He gives you his number and when your call goes to voicemail you’re treated to a full gospel choir. One day you catch a glimpse through his window and he’s just scratching hundreds of scratch-off lottery tickets. He owns two jet skis.
The way Brennan says “ketchup” is crazy. I have never heard anyone say it like that before. Could not focus on anything happening due to the way Brennan says “ketchup”
