My talk with Andrea, a 7 year old transgender sweetheart
Today I got to skype with Andrea, this precious 7 year old trans girl. She’s my friends cousin and she never got to speak with another trans woman before. When we started the first thing she says is “you have pretty hair” and we started talking about being a girl.
The first thing I asked her is i said “have u ever spoken to another trans girl?” she didnt know what trans meant she was like “ummmmm….i don’t know” in her adorable high pitched voice so i said “me and you are trans girls sweetheart bc we were boys at first’ (i dumbed it down cuz shes 7) and then she said “well being a trans girl is cool!” and I told her “yeah it is!”
I asked her about her family and she told me her parents love her so much ^_^ she said her mom bought her dresses and her sister is gonna teach her make up and she was so happy I could tell how wonderful her family was.
She told me about how other kids she knew bullied her about her gender and I started to tear up and I told her “you don’t have to listen to those people. You’re such a beautiful girl and you’re gonna grow up to be so pretty and so happy I promise” and she made me pinky swear so I did bc she’s perfect and cute.
When the call came to an end she told me she to be like me when she grows up and i started fucking sobbing and she asked why i was crying and i told her “I’M SO PROUD OF YOU” and she said she was proud of me too.
This is what every young trans girl deserves. Trans girls deserve to be trans girls no matter how old they are. Andrea is being given so much love and that’s exactly what little trans girls deserve.
Protect trans girl children. Protect them with everything in your power. Do all you can to make sure these angels grow up to be happy and loved. They’re so vulnerable to this horrible transmisogynist hellhole - protect them please. They all deserve to be happy and beautiful women.
Interviewer: where do you see yourself in 5 years?
Me: I used escapist fantasies as a coping mechanism to get through years of trauma and therefore never learned how to plan for a real life future
either way id smash
too tired to properly do line art or even color,, this was meant to be a sketch only so ignore the ugly lines
Imagine your f/o sending you a list of reasons why they love, appreciate, adore, and care about you. It's long, sentimental, and you can tell they put a lot of thought and genuine feeling towards it.
"I wanted to make this for you! This way if you ever feel bad, you can look at it and know just how loved you are."
the worst tragedy of my week
I'm writing right now and I've written a good chunk of story so as a treat i got myself a box of mini powdered donuts, and I'm eating them near my keyboard when my asshole of a cat comes over and knocks it over, still closed at that moment so my dumbass reaches for it as its falling and it pops open getting donut powder all over my carpet and keyboard and now i'm sad because my donuts hit the ground
I found this in the internet, isn’t this picture great?
Alex & Steve - the invincible best friends
They are inseparable as thick and thieves and nothing in the magical world would separate them. They stick together until the end and are always there for one another. Together they can make the impossible possible and make their dreams come true. Whatever where they go: through caves, Mienechests, the Nether or the end, they defeat all monsters and get through it! - Together :)

frost pattern on my window panes. I think it looks very playful and beautiful. Like a magical picture from the old winter.
Simon's even more sympathetic if you over analyze because he clearly has a mental illness making him afraid of abandonment, resistant to change, emotionally unstable and having immense difficulty relating to others. Like he gets worried about Hazel in the cabin when the Cat gets near her, its clearly foreshadowing the next episode.
Agreed! And actually, I pulled put the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5) to research your suggestion that Simon has some mental disorder, and . . . you're right! He almost definitely has a mental disorder.
The criteria for Borderline Personality Disorder are: (not quoted, but paraphrased directly from the DSM-5)
Instability in personal relationships and self-image, impulsivity, indicated by five or more of the following:
Frantic efforts to avoid real or imagined abandonment. - check, this is kinda Simon's shtick.
A pattern of unstable and intense interpersonal relationships, fluctuating between extremes of idealization and devaluation. - there's not much potential for a "pattern" here, but his relationship with Grace definitely fits this.
Markedly and persistently unstable/fluctuating self-image or sense of self. - Simon does not qualify—if anything, his inability to paradigm shift indicates the exact opposite.
Impulsivity in at least two areas that are potentially self-damaging. - violence, aggression, murder, all may or may not qualify. Simon ticks this box.
Recurrent suicidal or self-mutilating behavior or threats. - Simon does not qualify for this.
Affective instability due to a marked reactivity of mood. - In other words, subject responds intensely to swings in interpersonal relationships. Which sounds a heck of a lot like episodes eight through ten. Check.
Chronic feelings of emptiness. - We can't know whether or not this is true, because we can't really get inside a cartoon character's head. So . . . maybe?
Inappropriate, intense anger or difficulty controlling anger. - This is definitely present in him. He has a temper, he shouts, he gets angry, and it gets more extreme as the show progresses.
Transient, stress-related paranoia or severe dissociative symptoms. - Simon displays this too—lines like "everyone always lies to me" come to mind as evidence. (No dissociative tendencies, but the paranoia is present, so he meets this criterion.)
Now, the subject of a diagnosis needs to meet at least five of these criteria to qualify for BPD. Simon definitely meets five of these criteria (specifically, criteria one, four, six, eight, and nine), possibly even a few more (two, perhaps seven). In other words, Simon Laurent has Borderline Personality Disorder.
I'm not sure what conclusion to draw from this discovery that Simon is provably mentally ill. Does it mean calling him "evil" is deeply problematic? Does it mean he could've been saved? Does it mean he can't be blamed? Or is it just as toxic to argue that people with mental disorders are not responsible for their own actions as it is to argue that people with personality disorders are inherently irredeemable? (Not that anyone's argued either of those points—I'm mostly thinking in frantic hypotheticals at the moment.)
And of course these questions raise other questions (well, one other question) that has been on my mind since I first heard Simon called "irredeemable." What do people mean by "he's irredeemable"? Do they mean he couldn't improve and grow after the events of episode ten? Do they mean that his actions were unforgivable? Do they mean he was predestined to be a murderer from episode one, unlike the redeemable Grace? "Irredeemable" has become Simon's buzzword, but no one's ever really defined it. And until I get a concrete definition, I can't slap that label on him and throw him in the garbage with the rest of the characters I hate. (To be clear, I'm not saying anyone's wrong that he's irredeemable, I'm just asking what people mean when they say he's irredeemable.)
However, one thing is clear: as Anon pointed out, Simon is easy to relate to, easy to sympathize with, and easy to pity because of this. We may not all have personality disorders, but we all have flaws that make our brains work differently from how we'd like them to, whether those flaws are anger, laziness, or selfishness, or a mental illness, or something else. Yes, few of us are driven to be murderers because of this, but it still means that we can feel bad for Simon, even as we condemn his actions.
Every time I post something about Simon and it's not ten thousand words long, I'm showing enormous self-restraint and deserve a few claps. Also, sorry, Anon, for using your ask as an excuse to rant about Simon. You made a good point and I wanted to explore it!
Interesting:
A Phoenix Aurora over Iceland : All of the other aurora watchers had gone home. By 3:30 am in Iceland, on a quiet September night, much of that night’s auroras had died down. Suddenly, unexpectedly, a new burst of particles streamed down from space, lighting up the Earth’s atmosphere once again. This time, surprisingly, pareidoliacally, the night lit up with an amazing shape reminiscent of a giant phoenix. With camera equipment at the ready, two quick sky images were taken, followed immediately by a third of the land. The mountain in the background is Helgafell, while the small foreground river is called Kaldá, both located about 30 kilometers north of Iceland’s capital ReykjavÃk. Seasoned skywatchers will note that just above the mountain, toward the left, is the constellation of Orion, while the Pleiades star cluster is also visible just above the frame center. The 2016 aurora, which lasted only a minute and was soon gone forever – would possibly be dismissed as an fanciful fable – were it not captured in the featured, digitally-composed, image mosaic. via NASA
