Y'know what, fuck this bullshit. I need to know y'all are actually against it.

Reblog this if you will NOT use or support Post+.

I hope to make @staff see how that is total bullshit. Tumblr will die without writers/creators.

I want to live by myself when I move out of my parent's place but I'm really afraid of money problems? I'm afraid that the only place I can afford will be in the ghetto and it'll all be torn apart and I'll only be allowed to eat one granola bar a week. I'm really stressing out about this. I don't know anything about after school life. I don't know anything about paying bills or how to buy an apartment and it's really scaring me. is there anything you know that can help me?

Adult Cheat Sheet:

Once you’ve looked over all those cool links, I have some general advice for you on how you can have some sort of support system going for you:

Reasons to move out of home

You may decide to leave home for many different reasons, including:

  • wishing to live independently
  • location difficulties – for example, the need to move closer to university
  • conflict with your parents
  • being asked to leave by your parents.

Issues to consider when moving out of home

It’s common to be a little unsure when you make a decision like leaving home. You may choose to move, but find that you face problems you didn’t anticipate, such as:

  • Unreadiness – you may find you are not quite ready to handle all the responsibilities.
  • Money worries – bills including rent, utilities like gas and electricity and the cost of groceries may catch you by surprise, especially if you are used to your parents providing for everything. Debt may become an issue.
  • Flatmate problems – issues such as paying bills on time, sharing housework equally, friends who never pay board, but stay anyway, and lifestyle incompatibilities (such as a non-drug-user flatting with a drug user) may result in hostilities and arguments.

Your parents may be worried

Think about how your parents may be feeling and talk with them if they are worried about you. Most parents want their children to be happy and independent, but they might be concerned about a lot of different things. For example:

  • They may worry that you are not ready.
  • They may be sad because they will miss you.
  • They may think you shouldn’t leave home until you are married or have bought a house.
  • They may be concerned about the people you have chosen to live with.

Reassure your parents that you will keep in touch and visit regularly. Try to leave on a positive note. Hopefully, they are happy about your plans and support your decision.

Tips for a successful move

Tips include:

  • Don’t make a rash decision – consider the situation carefully. Are you ready to live independently? Do you make enough money to support yourself? Are you moving out for the right reasons?
  • Draw up a realistic budget – don’t forget to include ‘hidden’ expenses such as the property’s security deposit or bond (usually four weeks’ rent), connection fees for utilities, and home and contents insurance.
  • Communicate – avoid misunderstandings, hostilities and arguments by talking openly and respectfully about your concerns with flatmates and parents. Make sure you’re open to their point of view too – getting along is a two-way street.
  • Keep in touch – talk to your parents about regular home visits: for example, having Sunday night dinner together every week.
  • Work out acceptable behaviour – if your parents don’t like your flatmate(s), find out why. It is usually the behaviour rather than the person that causes offence (for example, swearing or smoking). Out of respect for your parents, ask your flatmate(s) to be on their best behaviour when your parents visit and do the same for them.
  • Ask for help – if things are becoming difficult, don’t be too proud to ask your parents for help. They have a lot of life experience.

If your family home does not provide support

Not everyone who leaves home can return home or ask their parents for help in times of trouble. If you have been thrown out of home or left home to escape abuse or conflict, you may be too young or unprepared to cope.

If you are a fostered child, you will have to leave the state-care system when you turn 18, but you may not be ready to make the sudden transition to independence.

If you need support, help is available from a range of community and government organisations. Assistance includes emergency accommodation and food vouchers. If you can’t call your parents or foster parents, call one of the associations below for information, advice and assistance.

Where to get help

  • Your doctor
  • Kids Helpline Tel. 1800 55 1800
  • Lifeline Tel. 13 11 44
  • Home Ground Services Tel. 1800 048 325
  • Relationships Australia Tel. 1300 364 277
  • Centrelink Crisis or Special Help Tel. 13 28 50
  • Tenants Union of Victoria Tel. (03) 9416 2577

Things to remember

  • Try to solve any problems before you leave home. Don’t leave because of a fight or other family difficulty if you can possibly avoid it.
  • Draw up a realistic budget that includes ‘hidden’ expenses, such as bond, connection fees for utilities, and home and contents insurance.
  • Remember that you can get help from a range of community and government organizations.

I’m gonna go off on this scene for a hot second, because this doesn’t get nearly as much attention as the talk with his mom and honestly this one hit me harder. So I’m gonna talk about why this scene is so fucking important to me.

The first line. Right out of the gate. “How long have you known?” Not, “how long have you been…you know…”, “how long have you known.” This is coming from a character we have seen (unintentionally, but still) commit homophobic microaggressions on screen at least twice now with many more implied, that difference is important.

Then when Simon answers, his response emphasizes the time they spent together when he didn’t know (Four years eating dinner together). I was sure, I was so sure his next line was going to be “why didn’t you tell me”. Because that’s how it goes right? The onus is always on the queer person, it’s always down to us. But that’s not what he says. He says “I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have missed it.”

I don’t think I can put into words what hearing an apology in that moment did to me. I really can’t, I’m pretty sure I stopped breathing for a second. And then he says “All those stupid jokes…”

He is taking responsibility for his actions. He is acknowledging that he was wrong and he is apologizing for the hurt he, however unknowingly, caused his son. This is so rare. Because the key here is, not only is this a father-son relationship, which is always more difficult because men in our society have been conditioned to never be “touchy-feely”, it’s also a parent-child relationship. 

Simon is still a teenager. His father has spent 17 years being the one responsible for Simon’s care; at this point the parent is the one in the equation where the majority of power still sits. For a parent to acknowledge to a child who is still not fully an adult that they were wrong, especially when it’s a father when men are conditioned to never give ground or “show weakness” over things like this, just. It doesn’t happen.

And even when Simon gives him an out he refuses to take it. Then he makes sure Simon knows that he is loved unconditionally, and reinforces it with physical affection. And it’s not a Manly Shoulder Pat either, this is a proper full-body hug followed by a kiss on the cheek.

And after a moment of awkwardness, he actively reaches out and shows interest in engaging in the queer aspect of Simon’s life by offering to sign up to Grindr together. He’s gotten it wrong (in the most adorably dad way possible), but the point is he made the effort. He didn’t just leave it at letting Simon know he loves him, he recognized that this is an on-going presence in his child’s life and he commits to continuously being involved with and acknowledging this aspect of his son.

I am someone who has Simon’s life. I am from an upper-middle class white family with two liberal straight parents who were high school sweethearts, and I have one younger sibling. My first car was even a used Subaru station wagon, I could not make this up. This is the moment I wish I could have with my parents. 

They knew/suspected I was queer for years before I finally came out to them, but they didn’t know what to do with asexuality. They were fully prepared for me to be a lesbian and I still managed to blindside them. It was completely unexpected and they hadn’t heard of it so they didn’t know what to do about it. And we are the pinnacle of a WASP stereotype, so all of us suck at talking about our feelings. So while my parents never rejected me, they never tried to “fix” me, and they don’t really drop hints about me “settling down one day”, they also never talk about it with me. I assume because they don’t know how to and they don’t want to misstep.

We will have entire conversations about queer issues with no acknowledgement whatsoever that I am part of the group that issue pertains to. They have never tried to talk to me about what asexuality is, asked me to explain it, or asked about how to be involved in that aspect of my life. Which is unusual for them, both have always taken an active interest in both of their children’s activities. And there’s only so many times I can be the one to talk about the elephant in the room because it’s fucking exhausting

So yeah. This scene, this moment, hit me like a semi truck. Because god do I want that in my life.

I’m crying

I really loved this scene because it wasn’t his dad saying “how long have you been lying to me” but instead “how long have I been hurting you.”

Too often queer people are treated as if we lied or tricked people while we were in the closet, so this scene meant so much to me.

this scene honestly made me cry harder than the scene with the mom. i wasn’t out to my parents when i saw this movie and i cried so hard becuase seeing a dad accepting his queer child made me have hope for when i came out to my parents.

and while my experience didn’t go like this it gave me hope and it showed me that not all parents reject their child for being queer. even if it was a fictional story.

Jack’s Broken Shoulder

So I was rewatching the Netflix Newsies recording and noticed something interesting about Jack: he’s right handed (as is Jeremy Jordan), but he doesn’t reflect that in his right shoulder. It shows through in lots of little ways.*

Whenever he’s gearing up for something, he rolls his right shoulder as if loosening it up in preparation. He does this a lot: in Carrying the Banner, when he’s just committed to the strike, right before the fight, twice when he’s being convinced to return, just after he scabs, when he asks what he and Kath are, while looking at Roosevelt, and three times in the final confrontation with Pulitzer. 

He carries weight with his left arm whenever he has the choice. Look at how he pulls up Crutchie, even though he has to take an extra second (while Crutchie is hanging!) to get over to that side. Both times the Delancey’s knock him down, he catches his weight on his left hand. JJor’s single cartwheel at the very end is also pivoted around his left hand. 

He also often prefers to gesture with his left hand, far more than Davey or Kath comparatively do. These are just four random moments I pulled out, but it’s present all throughout the show (particularly Santa Fe and STBI). 

I can only think of about 5-6 times in the entire musical when he raises his right arm above shoulder level, usually as part of a double-armed action or group choreography. Whenever he gets to choose which arm he uses to go high, he tends to pick his left. The punch he throws with his right hand in the fight is almost laughably easily blocked by Oscar and is in terrible form (a really wide swing, almost like he can’t forcefully bend at the shoulder). 

And again just after he’s been tossed out of the doors of The World. Les bounces right back up because kids are indestructible, but Jack and Davey lie there for a minute. Jack awkwardly pushes himself up with his left hand, gets pulled up by Albert, then presses down on his upper arm like it hurts more than the rest. 

So what if he was in the Refuge, trying to cheer up some of the smaller kids? It’s after dinner, just enough weak light streaming through the windows to shine off the tear tracks, and he starts sketching in the dust on the glass. Wildly unflattering caricatures of Snyder and the wardens, working out his anger and trying to make the kids laugh. And they do. Quietly at first, then louder and louder until the room is ringing with it, the first happy noise in the Refuge in months. And then the wardens bust in, drawn by the noise, see the drawings and decide to stop Jack from drawing them ever again.

Humerus fractures are tricky things, and it’d be no surprise if Jack didn’t heal quite right from a break, even years later. Maybe that’s why Crutchie has no problem telling Jack he “ain’t been walking so good,” despite the fact that he doesn’t want “anyone should see”, because for ~2 months, Jack was in the same boat. They probably sold together, with the crutch and the sling, milking ableism for all it was worth. And even though Jack can only know the smallest fraction of what Crutchie deals with every day, he has more experience than most of the boys. 

* obviously, some/most/all of this is due to blocking decisions and trying to stay open to the audience, but c’mon guys, let’s have some fun here.

Hey I’m looking for this fic and I don’t remember a ton of it but Virgil, Roman, Patton, and Logan were all roommates and Virgil self harmed and always wore a sweatshirt, but one day nobody was home so he wore short sleeves and then Roman came home early and saw his cuts? I couldn’t find it on AO3 so I’m pretty sure it was on Tumblr. Thanks in advance!

Angst Next Door: Summary- In which Virgil Sanders is awkward, sad, unsocial and in addition leads a secret life of a leader of a rockband. Trying to find his place in the society he enrolls to a college where he meets an unique group of friends made of a theatre geek, nerdy chess player and human version of cookie. (tw; self harm, suicidal tendencies)

I’ve had this in my ao3 bookmarks since the beginning of January but haven’t caught up in a while so ty anon for reminding me to do that!!! but beware this is REALLY TRIGGERING so stay safe, drink some water, and take your meds children!!!
