Love The Dichotomy Of Darry Curtis. He’s Big And Tough And Will Mess You Up Without Remorse. He Eats

today is one of those days where I'm pissy and can barely even push up a bit of sympathy, so that's wonderful /s

gigglin over how Pony's touch point for heterosexuality is. his brothers. n uh. well. yknow. I dunno if anyone's ever cleared that up for him.

I just saw someone say "Ace people get all the rep." And I'm just????? What the hell are you even talking about?????

I can think of two ace characters.

Saiki K, and that one person from Heartstopper

I know that's not all of the canon ace characters out there, but as someone who doesn't.t interact with any inherently queer media (it's all romance based. Gross and boring, coming from an aromantic person.), that's all I can come up with.

How the fuck is that "all of the rep"?

When someone you hate makes a good point

big brother darry taught little kid johnny how to tie his shoes bc his parents never did and his feet got too big for his old velcro ones. btw

Why do people except me to be upset when I'm told I'm scary or creepy or weird, I think it's funny as hell

The only not fun bit is when people call me crazy for literally doodling in a textbook

any ship can be gay if you try hard enough

Masc presenting transfemzai my beloved...

any punching of nazis is always completely justified and very valid by the way

♡ types of empathy + examples . . .

cognitive empathy . . .

ー cognitive empathy is understanding someone's thoughts and/or feelings. this is when you intellectually understand what someone else is feeling, without necessarily feeling it yourself.

ー example: imagine your co-worker is nervous before giving a big presentation. you don't necessarily feel nervous yourself, but you understand why they feel that way, so you offer them encouragement.

ー how it feels: you recognize the emotion/feeling logically. "ah, they are anxious because of the pressure" ー but you are emotionally neutral or calm about it.

emotional (or affective) empathy . . .

ー emotional empathy is feeling with someone. this is when you actually feel the other person's emotions, as if you were experiencing it yourself.

ー example: your friend bursts into tears after a breakup. as you comfort them, you suddenly feel heavy, heartbroken, and your own tears start to well up, even though it's not your breakup.

ー how it feels: your emotional state mirrors theirs. it might feel automatic and intense, almost as if you are "catching" their emotion.

compassionate empathy . . .

ー compassionate empathy is feeling and acting to help. this type of empathy combines understanding & emotional feeling, with the desire to help and take action.

ー example: you see someone on the street shivering without a coat in the winter. you feel bad for them (emotional empathy) and feel motivated to give them your scarf/buy them something warm (action).

ー how it feels: there is a strong pull in your chest, an urge to do something to ease another person's suffering or problems.
