Oh fuck I uh I just realised that Everything Stays now also gets to be about Simon. He’s changed so much but he’s also exactly the same. The world he lives in is different, alien, isolating. He was a normal man, then he spent some 1000 years in a dreamlike state, and now he’s normal again but everything is different. He carries that trauma in everything he does even though he’s “better now.” He was waiting in the garden so long for someone to turn him around but the underside is lighter. Only he seems to notice that he’s faded. Ever so slightly. Daily and nightly. In little ways

NO SERIOUSLY THOUGH THAT STUFFED ANIMAL HAS DONE MORE IRREPARABLE HARM TO ME PERSONALLY THAN ANYONE EVER COULD

Rewatched Goncharov (1973) and did a few studies of my favourite scenes

What’s the point of grinding to the bone your whole life for money if you aren’t even gonna be there to spend it…

How Goncharov characters respond to you asking their pronouns:

Katya Goncharova: “Oh she/her Darling”

Goncharov: “Any pronouns are fine”

Andrei: *does not hear you in the midst of his rant about how god has abandoned the modern man*

Goncharov (1973) dir. Martin Scorsese

“The greatest mafia movie (n)ever made.”

i think it’s very very interesting that adhd and autism comparisons and solidarity are very prominent in the neurodiverse community, but autism and schizophrenia, another disorder that has a lot of ties and similarity to autism almost NEVER gets brought up in relation to it. i wonder why that is.

i think it’s also very interesting how much antipsychotic ableism there is inside the neurodiverse community, despite the fact that a lot of neurodivergencies share quite a few traits with schizophrenia and other psychotic disorders.

people with autism will go “oh i hate when people “go why can’t you act normal” it’s so ableist” and then hold psychotic people up to often a higher standard, despite the fact that a lot of psychosis inducing disorders affect the way you think, similar to how autism does- particularly schizophrenia. it’s hmmm. hm!

this post got a little bit more attention that i thought it would, so i’ll try to explain:

autism and schizophrenia are both neurodevelopmental disorders that were are so close they used to be considered the exact same disorder, with autism being thought of as the earlier stage of schizophrenia. schizophrenia and autism are often co-morbid, with psychotic disorders having a much higher chance of having autism- and autistic people having a higher chance of having schizophrenia though that’s not alway the case. autism and schizophrenia are both on a spectrum, that autism spectrum and schizophrenia spectrum (or schizospec), respectively.

they share common differences in cognition, mostly relating to nonverbal reasoning, how we think and reason and come to come to conclusions- memory, often less the storing of memories but encoding and learning and organization and retrieval of memories- and language, articulating things in a coherent way. or talking. having conversations or talking in ways that make sense.

and though the reasons and the direct way our brains do this differently varies from autism to schizophrenia, enough that they are not the same thing as once thought, but instead share a lot of similarities.

we both have a hard time reading facial emotions, and responding of those facial features- i.e. taking it as a cue, (though schizophrenics more often jump to conclusions surrounding facial expressions if they’re hard to decipher) we both struggle with eye tracking, following peoples vision and line of sight, as well as visual processing. there’s also evidence to suggest that schizophrenics also avoid eye contact, though it’s not as a pronounced thing as with autistic people.

both autism and schizophrenia are genetic, meaning they’re passed down through family. autistic people often have trouble controlling their facial features or voices expressing emotions in a “normal way”. and schizophrenics experience something called flat affect, meaning our faces look “flat” or numb- think stereotype, the “psycho stare” same with flat voices, that’s also flat affect. we don’t express a lot of emotion verbally or nonverbally. this doesn’t mean schizophrenic people don’t experience emotions. it means we have a limited affect of showing those emotions.

socially, autistic people and schizophrenic people both struggle, though it’s shown that schizophrenic people often don’t express an “appropriate” emotional response for a situation, and autistic people don’t ask a lot of questions of their conversation partner or “reciprocate” socially.

there are SO MANY more similarities and i’ll add them as i think of them, but this is all i could think of off the top of my head and come up with from a cursory search on google. 👍 feel free to add on.

new gender dropped

he’s so right for this

other best tweets include

reminder that, as far as anyone knows, this man is literally 100% cisgender. this is fantastic. I love him ever so

This is a streamer, and one of his chat rewards for subs/bits/etc is "girl month," where he dresses like a girl and does his make up for a whole month.

Last I heard, his chat had gotten him to, like, 6 months straight of "girl month."

This man is cis. He is not trans, and has no desire to transition.

He just wanted to do something fun for his chat, and he has a great time. He looks comfortable, he doesn't make a mockery of women or femininity. It's just wholesome cross dressing fun.

Hey, a bro's gotta hustle ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
