Peter looks so offended:
At the peak of my 13-year-oldness, I wrote a Hunger Games fic in which a former tribute (who won, obviously) had to watch her two kids being reaped the same year, and for extra drama, the organizer made her their mentor. The fic alternated between flashbacks to her own Games with the allies she made and saw die, and the fact that eventually she would have to choose which of her kids to save (or just straight up abandon both to the arena).
So far so good right?
Except the year was 2012. It was a songfic.
And the song I chose? The chorus to Nicky Minaj’s STARSHIPS.
"Starships" being the name her group of allies was given by the viewers. "Let’s do this one more time" was unironically the saddest line in the fic.
OP where’s the link??
I hate this

This whole obsession with wheelchair users struggling on foot down the aisle at their wedding or across the stage for graduation is 100% powered by ableism.
“The heartwarming story of how one woman worked for 8 months straight so she could escape the horror that is being in wheelchair for a few short minutes to struggle slowly and painfully down the aisle on her special day.”
“the horror that is being in a wheelchair” bitch it’s hella better than struggling slowly & painfully down the aisle ffs
“Despite being permanently paralyzed, her one goal since her accident has been to walk across the stage for graduation. The whole crowd gave her a standing ovation and broke into tears when she dragged her paralyzed legs across the stage with the help of leg braces and a walker to collect her diploma, after which she immediately sat back down in her wheelchair, which she will use to move around for the rest of her life.”
How the hell is this an inspirational story? This person needs better goals. And a therapist.
They’re toxic in an even greater way because as a disabled person, I didn’t realise till I was reading this how much I had internalised that. I genuinely have had feelings of fear and shame about using a chair or a walker if I get married. And why? Because I’m constantly seeing “heartwarming” stories about disabled people who shed their mobility aids for that moment. Why the hell am I afraid of using them to get married? Anyone who marries me or attends the wedding will know I need them and love me regardless.
Bless this post for making me realise I’d internalised that shit.
idea: incorporating mobility aids into wedding fashion. decorating your wheelchair with flowers and lace as intricate as the dress itself. maybe one of those longass cape things idk what they’re called? on the back, idk if those would work with wheels wrt not getting tangled, but then again idk how they work with legs either. braces and canes thatre color-coordinated with your suit or dress. wedding outfits that include and are DESIGNED FOR wheelchairs/canes/braces.
I’ve seen wedding photos from several brides who decorated their power chairs with flowers for their wedding and it was BEAUTIFUL.
This post made me realise how much I desperately want to be able to not use my stick at my wedding next year and how fucked up that is
Some examples of how I decorated my wheelchair for my wedding (I’ve kept flowers on it ever since.) I highly recommend keeping yourself comfortable and happy on special occasions, however much that means including your mobility aids!
I love it!

The only appropriate way to respond when the fuckboy you’ve just recently started talking to starts going “Lol my wife/girlfriend is jealous of you and I don’t know why, tee hee”
Are you ready?
Block him.
Block his wife / girlfriend.
Take the wind right out of those sails.
You don’t have to “convince” anybody that “you mean no harm.” You just don’t have to deal with this insecure petty bullshit. Whether he’s a piece of shit who’s looking to cheat or she’s a control freak who is insecure and pushing him away is irrelevant. Remove yourself from those people and those lives while they’re still strangers and acquaintances. You don’t owe them a goddamned explanation. Problem solved. Go make new friends.
Okay but the number of reblogs and likes this got in only a few hours is so reassuring like I’m so happy there are people out there who actually KNOW THIS and like, know better. That is a huge relief.
I wish I had this wisdom several years ago.
Ya have it now. Don’t waste time on fuckboys playing head games or get yourself caught in the middle of a relationship dispute that you literally have nothing to do with and want no part of. Laugh right in their faces and then cut ties forever.
There’s a lot of great people worth getting to know out there. Don’t waste your time on immature jerks. You’re worth more than that, and the non-jerks will recognize it.
