It's Autumn, which means if I make a Big Pot of Soup it will Fix Everything. No one fact check me on this. We need to let the soup speak for itself.
The incorrect and negative beliefs we can get from years of negative feedback not knowing we have ADHD or how it affects our lives. While not everything is solely caused by ADHD, it can affect us and our comorbidities in many, many ways. Good news is, treating ADHD can do wonders for Anxiety and Depression!
ugh, I was in the middle of a fanfic too 😔
CLAIM YOUR BADGE PEOPLE
ARE YOU LORE?
honestly, yeah. giving away some of my plushies because my bed was too full was the most “you’re going to hell” thing I’ve ever done
how are people mean to stuffed animals one time i was trying to clean up my room and tried to justify giving away a stuffed animal by saying 'well its a little ugly' and immediately i was just overwhelmed with monstrous guilt and i understood the concept of a catholic hell and i was going there
This is so true oml
I can't find the source, but I feel like there were many more panels to this....
So, there are so many reasons why I cried during the Barbie movie, but the one scene that really made me tear up was the scene where Barbie meets the old woman at the bus stop (?) and tells her that she’s beautiful and she just answers with “I know it.” To me, this scene made me cry, because there are so many women in my life that I look up to and regard as INCREDIBLY beautiful, but by the societies norms, they aren’t beautiful at all. Because they are “too old” or “not slim enough” or don’t have a face that would be titled “pretty” or “beautiful” and some of the women that I’m talking about in this post even think of themselves like that. So every time I hear them say such things about themselves and every time I hear some stupid person on the internet talking about how some celebrity isn’t slim enough or young enough anymore, I just want to tell all the women in the world just how beautiful they are. How inspiring they are to me, how I love their grey or white hair, their wrinkles and their larger bodies, how I love their unique faces and their beautiful smiles and how I would like to punch everyone who ever told them that they aren’t beautiful or pretty or any of that.
That’s why his scene made me so emotional. Because Barbie told that beautiful old woman, exactly what I want to tell so many women in my life and because that old woman KNEW that she’s beautiful and that she doesn’t need to be young or thin to be just that.
Yeah, I know this post is long and not a lot of people are going to read all of it, but if you did read it, please just tell the women around you just how beautiful and important they are, because our society just loves to diminish anything that isn’t traditionally beautiful and that is simply a crime.
I‘m actually pretty good at cooking, at least for myself..
I don’t even care if it’s macaroni, ramen or those little bowls you stick in the microwave. Please, I need reassurance that most of the population on tumblr WOULDN’T STARVE TO DEATH if their parents couldn’t fix them food or they couldn’t go out to eat.

That’s exactly what I thought about his speech as well!
I mean, Jayce was literally straight up telling Viktor that he was always beautiful to him. With all of his different sides, problems and quirks. Including his disability. Differently than Viktor, I think it’s pretty clear that he never saw Viktor’s disability as anything that made him “lesser” than anyone else. Sure, he wanted to help Viktor “fix” his illness so he could like, LIVE. But he never wanted to turn Viktor into someone non-disabled, he didn’t see the need for it, because Viktor’s disability is simply a part of him, not a problem to “fix” and forget about. Jayce’s entire speech is pretty much a rejection of that the idea of perfection that Viktor seemingly carried with himself for years.
Pretty much “You don’t need to be perfect to be lovable, you don’t need to be perfect for me to love you. Because if you were perfect, you wouldn’t be YOU.”
I don’t often make my own posts, but I’ve been going a little insane about some of the posts I’ve been seeing about Jayce’s speech to Viktor in the finale.
So many people are like “um, Viktor had a terminal illness, how can Jayce tell him he was never broken??? He was DYING??”
And like, yeah. He was. But this isn’t Jayce ignoring that.
He’s acknowledging it by telling Viktor: You aren’t defined by your illness. You might have felt like you were lesser, or broken, or imperfect because of it, but I need you to know that you’re worth just as much as anyone else. And I understand everything you’ve done, because you’ve been hurting. And I love you anyway.
He’s not saying “your illness didn’t matter”. He’s saying “just because you were disabled doesn’t mean you’re worth less”.
I thought it was actually a really beautiful way of tackling the way that people who are disabled or chronically ill are viewed by others, or even by themselves: either defined entirely by their disability/illness, or considered lesser. Or how disabled/ill people are only allowed to be happy and inspirational messages that people can do anything, or they have to be sad figures incapable of anything and only deserving of pity. And this is Jayce saying no, that isn’t all you are. He’s showing Viktor that he sees all of the complexity, and the hurt, and he sees ALL of who Viktor is.
Anyway, I’m tired, and this isn’t all articulated perfectly, but I wanted to throw it out there.
