The idea of a pregnant couple posting about a gender reveal party only go to “PSYCH IT’S THE OTHER KID” is hilarious and also these are some fantastic parents
They consider me strange and unusual due to my autistic behaviors. And maybe the unnatural experimentations too but thats unlikely.

i think that unless you have experienced life while being actually dead broke or near it at least once, its hard to really grasp at how, in many places but in america in particular, ‘having money’ is the access card that allows you to participate, materially, in being fully human. even in non-crisis situations, situations where a paycheck is on the way, you have enough of some kind of food to make it, and you aren’t in any danger of losing shelter, even if you hardly spend any money when you do have it, the state of being completely without money is a state of being hyperaware, constantly, of how much smaller your world is all of a sudden and how many basic aspects of mobility and enrichment are off limits to you. its profoundly psychologically agitating to self worth and well-being even sans the trauma of worse states of deprivation, and i don’t think a lot of people who have lived comfortably without this experience understand that there’s a critical difference between ‘having less money’ and ‘having no money’ when talking about related issues.
i think what tickles me so much about garashir isn’t the “would wear vials of each other’s blood” energy so much as the fact that they both seem to think they’re being extremely normal about each other. julian waking sisko up at 3am like hey hey i need to borrow the car keys my boyfriend that i barely know is taking me on a road trip. no he won’t tell me why. what do you mean “no???”
like bestie stop and think about how you’re behaving for ONE second. same shit with garak quoting shakespeare at his dad when they’re under active fire and being like YOU KNOW WHO TOLD ME THAT!!! THE TWINK DOCTOR. THE ONE WHO SHOWED UP AT YOUR HOUSE ON ARAWATH THAT ONE TIME AND CHANGED YOUR DESKTOP BACKGROUND TO MEATSPIN YEAH THAT’S THE ONE. WHAT??? OH YEAH I’LL PUT THE SHIELDS UP
thank u for highlighting an underappreciated part of my post because i think it is so so so funny that julian beams into tain’s fucking house and IMMEDIATELY starts fucking with his computer. he has never done a normal thing in his life
