How to spot a ‘fake’ gamer

  • Frequently pronounces video games as “Blideo Bames”
  • Will often say “I need help passing this level it’s really hard” then when you look at their screen it’s running Microsoft Excel 2007
  • They invite you over to their place to check out their game collection and it’s just every season of Frasier (still impressive)
  • Their Xbox One is actually a series of tissue boxes glued together with the word “NINTEMDO” painted over it
  • When you ask their favourite video game they respond by doing a series of skillful backflips, temporarily distracting you from having asked the question in the first place
  • Keeps a secret diary with “I HATE VIDEO GAMES AND I NEVER PLAY THEM” written on every page

A healthy relationship while having BPD doesn’t mean you never have incidents or meltdowns or splitting or lash out.

That means having complete control over your BPD. While having a lot of control is important, complete control is fucking impossible. It’d be like requiring me to not have any fibromyalgia symptoms that could hurt or disrupt my partner in order to have a healthy relationship. It’s not possible.

What DOES determine a healthy relationship is how you communicate and do damage control and take responsibility and be accountable and LISTEN and ask questions.

I tell my partners when my brain is being an asshole.

“Hey, I keep thinking you’re stupid for this. I don’t actually believe this, or feel this way, but I’m BPD splitting. I thought u should know. It’s not u, don’t worry. I’m sorry if I get impatient or split or lash out. Let me know if anything bothers you, okay?”

It’s not that you never split, you never say stupid shit or hurt each other or lash out or fight (even if it’s just because your brain wants a fight). It’s that you accomodate that and account for it with communication. It’s hard to learn and no one teaches you it. But you can do it.

And that’s literally ANY relationship, whether someone in it is sick, or not. Almost always, relationships get hurt and fuck up and heal, just like the people in them. Like everyone.

Healthy relationships don’t require being healthy.

Anybody else remember this episode? In it, a female villain called Femme Fatale is stealing millions of dollars in Susan B. Anthony coins. Naturally, the Powerpuff Girls go to stop her. She then convinces them that men are all horrible because female superheroes aren’t as well known as male superheroes, even asking Blossom to name some to where her only answer is Wonder Woman.

They start acting bitter, refusing to do chores when the Professor asks and even telling the Mayor to save the town himself. Ms. Bellum and Ms. Keane talk to the girls and basically explain that being mean to guys won’t do anything and that isn’t the kind of message feminists should put out.

They proceed to beat up Femme Fatale while giving her a history lesson about Susan B. Anthony, the story where she voted and was found guilty because women couldn’t vote back then, but when the judge wanted to let her off easily because she was a woman, she forced them to take her to jail. The girls handle her and the lesson is that misandry will not stop misogny and we all should just respect each other.

And it fell on Tumblr’s deaf ears.

Reblogging again because this is great.

Lauren Faust also received a lot of unsurprising hate for this

for ppl who don't have bpd:

• our trust levels can be very small. it’s hard to trust someone fully unless they consistently show that they care about us. little reminders like “i love you/value you/care about you” can help a lot • we seek approval. for everything. we cannot do anything without someone’s consent because we are too afraid of being judged for our actions • at the same time, we can be impulsive and do things without thinking. these things can be considered manipulative, although this is not our intent. they can be seen as “crazy” or “annoying” • we are not crazy. we are not annoying. we can’t help being the way we are • for as much as we crave attention, we don’t want to ask for it. we want it to come naturally, and if we have to ask for it we feel like you hate us, because why else would you not text first? • our self esteem can vary from loving ourselves to death to hating ourselves to the very core, often within the same day or even hour. we can think we’re the hottest thing, but minutes later one flaw leaves us thinking we’re the ugliest thing on earth. we are o b s e s s i v e about our appearance. we are not vain, we just can’t help but worry constantly. if we think we are ugly, we want to be reminded otherwise • we can be very sensitive. often little jokes against us that most people would laugh at/think nothing of will hit us deeply and cause us to get depressed or emotionally scarred for hours at a time • we take pride in our interests, and judging them or making fun of them hurts us a lot • we can go from valuing someone to hating them over one small flaw in their character. we have trouble distinguishing someone acting up once from being a horrible person • we get attached VERY quickly. someone simply being nice to us can cause us to think we’re in love with them or that this will be the person we’re gonna marry. we interpret the smallest things as flirting too. this person can be known as our “fp” or “favorite person” and they usually cause us to be obsessed with them or have strong mood swings over them. we interpret things like not replying in a few minutes, lack of emotion in text or simple not wanting to talk as them hating us. it’s a good time • if we apologize a lot it’s because we’re worried you hate us or that we have something to apologize for even if we don’t. if we don’t, remind us it’s okay and that we did nothing wrong • mood swings are a huge part of every day for us. we range from being at the top of the world to being super depressed in any amount of time. we can be seen as “moody” but sometimes it’s just too hard not to be sad • we don’t hate you even if we sometimes act like we do. we can lash out for no reason. don’t worry – you’re fine • we sometimes can’t speak for ourselves as again, we are so afraid of judgement. we are TERRIFIED of anyone thinking negatively of us, so often we just don’t say anything if anyone upsets us bc we don’t want to upset THEM. also if someone raises their voice at us it can be p scary • we talk a lot :)
