how do conservatives think talking to children works? if a four year old came up to me and said “i’m a cat!!” i would say “really? what makes you a cat?” and they’d say some shit like “i have claws >:)” and i’d be like “oh wow, you do have claws. but wait, i thought cats had pointed ears!” and they’d say “they DO!!!” and then i’d pull up a picture of an elf and ask “is THIS a cat?” and they’d yell “NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO”

u wouldn’t say “fucking hell, Emily, get it together. this is the real world”

pardon me, i should clarify. you wouldn’t say that, assuming that you aren’t a total dipshit. i would not say that either. some people, however, hate children and firmly believe that everyone should be miserable unless they’re at church

literallyaflame

several of you pointed out that, often, conservative christians want you to be especially miserable at church. so true. grave oversight on my part

"Why don't people recognize Link in TOTK" bc everyone imagines the legendary swordsman to be built like Ganondorf and Link doesn't bother correcting anyone bc being hailed as a hero is like on the bottom of his priorities, which are topped by things like "Bake one of every pie"

Rando farmer: They say that once the noble hero of legend passed by this very village! Isn't that wonderful to imagine, genderfluid stranger?

Link, 5'6" with 2" heels and wearing a backless dress suspiciously stained with blood: no yeah that's wild

"Wouldn't they recognize him bc he's with Zelda" Everyone interacting with Zelda was like "Wow, the princess!! The princess who saved Hyrule is here, talking to us! Plus some guy with three sets of pronouns who's building a bomb but more importantly The Princess!! Wow!!"

#zelda seemingly not having much gender fuckery abt her makes thrm funnier#thats zelda a pretty princess and her girlboyfriend pal soulmate across fates they/them/he/she/it guyALT

Zelda keeps coming across spare genders she doesn't need and Link follows behind scooping them all up off the ground like a starving trash possum

Someone uses an unfamiliar pronoun around Zelda, and she hears the item pickup sound come from Link

Every time this comes across my dash it’s gotten better.

Link loaned Zelda a set of he/him at one point and he called himself Sheik for about half a game.

Y'know, some people do have a strong crying response to stress, and they might cry (even against their own will) when faced with an upsetting situation and that doesnt mean they are “gaslighting” or “manipulating” you.

There are people who use crying as a manipulation tactic? Absolutely. But that doesn’t mean that every person that cries during a heated argument is trying to get under your skin. They have their own emotions and issues, and frankly, not everything other people do is a personal attack on you.

People who use crying as a manipulation tactic are actually counting on you coddling them so they can redirect or avoid the conversation, meanwhile people who can’t control that they cry when they’re upset often struggle to be taken seriously because of their tears and find the coddling frustrating.

In either case, the best response is to ask if they need a moment to collect themself. If they say yes, agree to a time when you will continue the conversation and hold them to it. If they say no, continue on with the conversation exactly as if they were not crying.

Stg many conversations would be much easier if people would LISTEN when I say “yes I know I’m crying, please ignore it.”

I cry easily and I dislike it, but fuck me, it’s like the same as sweat for me, and if I tell you don’t fucking mind it, try your best to NOT.

‘Ennnnh, but what does crying do’ MOTHERFUCKER, WHAT DOES HAVING THE HICCUPS DO.
