i love those “americans only know burger” posts cus its true we literally have a word for when something is insignificant or something without value and yeah. its “nothingburger”. because whats more worthless than nothing burger….
the postal service names their shit exactly like how a 16 y.o. names angsty fanfic
Explain.
try and tell me literally any one of these would not fit above a short story about two wholly random men from the MCU fingering each other, or possibly 12 chapters of one or more characters from a CW show being in high school while having a photogenic but terminal kind of cancer. try.
ok so i want to say in hindsight i think i could probably have been clearer
“that doesn’t sound sincere- it sounds rehearsed” is one of the most devastating and fucked-up statements you can make to anyone in the neurodivergent/ADHD/Autistic/Schizophrenic/Disordered Personality sphere. yeah bitch it’s rehearsed. because i wanted to get it right when i said it
I’ve recently discovered how much better life can be when we normalize this. My best friend and I have started saying “hang on, I’m scripting” when we need a minute to mentally rehearse during big conversations (and “bear with me, I’m doing improv” when we’ve reached the end of our script and start to struggle with words lol)
Endlessly diabolical how you can’t say words like rape and suicide uncensored without either being criticised by idiots or punished by conglomerates.
It’s not r*pe, it’s rape. It’s not su*cide, it’s suicide. Not unalive, dead. The backbone needs to be reintroduced en masse because softening the blow of these concepts with advertising language does absolutely nothing but allow people unaffected by them to feel not even a sting of what they can do, prompting inaction.
And it’s been proven that on certain websites, you don’t even face a repercussion for using the words as they are. People just started censoring themselves because they feared the potential lack of views and likes and followers which is so nasty itself.
I attended an anti-suicide seminar in college. One of the big takeaways from it was that stigmatizing suicide increases the rate of suicide, because people who are feeling suicidal feel like they can’t ask for help. Every time I see babytalk garbage like ‘unalive’, I think of that.
Use the real words. Words have power, and they matter.
shorthands for dumbassery that i have grown to love deeply

we need a name for the opposite of a blorbo. an anti-blorbo if you will. a character you’ve been forced to encounter in dashboard wilderness so often it’s now anathema to your fandom instincts. not a blorbo but a “hell no not this fucker again”
