You’re the town’s superhero. Your greatest enemy is the town’s supervillian. However, secretly, your both brothers. This isn’t anything tragic, as your whole destructive rivalry is actually just a massive prank on your third brother, the mayor.
i don’t know how to tell you people that you should care about racism not because you’re invested in media created by people of color but because you care about people of color period
idk how they do it but I log on to tumblr like every 3ish months and it ALWAYS looks worse than it did before. bravo.
If you’re wondering whether your parents might be abusive, but you believe that deep inside they still love you, see if they check these boxes:
- They let you know that if you’re hurt, it’s your fault, and you deserved it
- They threaten to hurt you if you don’t obey them instantly or so much as say something they don’t like
- They accuse you of ‘just wanting attention’ if you confess to them that you’re in pain
- You feel terrified of them and try to avoid them as much as possible
- You feel like you have to work very hard to be good enough for them and you’re scared you never will be
- You feel genuinely terrified of crossing them or making any trouble for them, you feel like they would hate you and hurt you viciously for it or even end your life
- You don’t feel like you are allowed to express yourself around them, they’re likely to mock, humiliate, compare, over dramatize, belittle, or completely dismiss your feelings
- You keep a secret from them anything that makes you happy
- Looking at yourself thru their eyes makes you feel ugly, worthless, lazy, wrong
- You always make excuses for their behaviour and try to understand that they’re busy, annoyed or tired. They never try to understand how you feel and instead accuse you of the worst possible motives for every action you take
- They know nothing about how you really feel and what you struggle with. You feel it’s your fault for not telling them, but you know if you did, they would attack you for it.
- You don’t feel safe being vulnerable in front of them. You hide from them to experience your pain
- They don’t hesitate to imply or say outright that ‘your life is going nowhere’ and ‘you’re not living in the real life’ and ‘you will never amount to anything’. You’re supposed to assume this is for your own good.
- You haven’t felt safe, loved, cared for, important, cherished, or worry free in a long, long time
If they check 3 or more boxes for you, they are abusing you. These are actions of contempt, cruelty, lack of any care for your well being, emotional and psychological abuse. For children, being met with contempt from their own parents is torture. You didn’t deserve that. If you’re often feeling hurt, lost, worried if they care, worried you’re somehow wrong and not good enough, you didn’t have good parents. You shouldn’t have been put thru that.
not 2 be corny but. sometimes i think my purpose on this earth is to love people, make them laugh, be kind and share joy. that feels like enough to me sometimes
