your honour their married and thats their child
I’d give anything to see the first time Leia and Vader meet each other. She clearly already knows him in A New Hope. And while obviously she doesn’t know ALL of his backstory until much later, we also know she knows that he’s the one who tried to kill Obi-Wan at least twice already and nearly forced Obi-Wan to sacrifice his life to get her to safety.
I want Vader sashaying down a hallway in the Senate building, heading over to a vending machine or something, and for a 12 year old Leia to come up behind him and just be like “YOU. I KNOW WHAT YOU DID. And someday, buddy – someday soon – I’m gonna make you PAY for it. Sleep with one eye open, you TRASH CYBORG” before storming off, and for Vader to be like “well, I don’t know who that was or which one of the horrible things I’ve done she’s mad about, but I do like her energy.”
sorry boss can't come in today i was on my way to work and then a gentle spring breeze kissed my cheek and reminded me it is a serious thing just to be alive on this fresh morning in this broken world
love how murph made up a guy and named them Baron from The Baronies for the bit because haha riz is too hyper focused on investigating and cool adventures to even care about romance and brennan went hey watch this and made a personification of the aro struggle of wondering if once your friends will fall in love they will just leave you behind once they no longer have a use for you because romantic relationships will always be above platonic in the social hierarchy.
and then brennan also went i äm yöurr römancë partnüürr rizzz gückkgaäackkk :3

yes actually that is a knife in my pocket i am not happy to see you at all.
disabled children not allowed be children.
especially. intellectually and/or developmentally disabled (I/DD) children, & children w behavioral or “behavioral” struggles (aka many I/DD children) not allowed be children.
which may be weird thing say at first because I/DD famous for be infantilized, be treat as forever children. so would think children be only thing they “allow” be, n say they not allow be children contradicting—
but not actually.
as general whole, nondisabled children “allowed” tantrums. allow emotional immature. allowed childish quirks.
what be normal child tantrum fuss in (white) nondisabled children, even with child health/care professionals who whole entire job be understand that nondisabled typically developing child have underdeveloped brain n not yet have self regulate skill n that developmentally appropriate that normal, it may be talk as annoying & inconvenient, but for I/DD children every. single. time. where they “tantrum” “fuss” even in developmentally appropriate ways, chance be write as sign of their disability, sign of behavior problem, sign of emotional problem. be evidence of disorder. of abnormal. of something wrong. which be “okay” reason dehumanize, abuse, be talk about like animal, like not in room, like difficult problem to be solved.
nondisabled adults fondly look back at childhood comfort objects that maybe still have now, stuffed toys blankets or maybe less usual things that mean something to them. but when disabled children have them it be more likely *automatic* see as problem, as something need be weaned off, need be taken away, as unhealthy overattachment, be write into behavioral plan, only allow x minute per day, see as “impractical” & “useless”.
as general whole, nondisabled children allow say no, allow act out “no,” allow prefer, allow not want do something so protest by not doing, by not listening, by pretend not hear you. it may be see as funny or annoying but meanwhile for disabled children it largely see as oppositional as noncompliance as inattentive as something need be trained out of by all means possible.
nondisabled children do things because they kids. disabled children do things because there something wrong with them.
nondisabled children rights n autonomy not fully respected by any means but disabled children get even less of it.
disabled children often not allowed many leeway’s as nondisabled children, what be developmentally appropriate for same age nondisabled children often be over label as disorder as problem as something abnormal need be get rid off in disabled children.
n especially when come to behaviorally, white nondisabled children get be the most “child,” n Black n other disabled children of color get “child” stolen from them in multiple ways.
This is true for physically disabled kids, too (some physical disabilities, like cerebral palsy, 👋are also grouped with developmental disabilities).
Kids with C.P. often don't get a chance to play, just for the sake of playing, without parents, teachers, and clinicians, insisting that it be turned into a physical therapy session.
[I once wanted to illustrate a kid with C.P. walking on forearm crutches {for a poem I was writing about my own childhood memories}, so looked on YouTube for family videos, hoping to find scenes of kids having a birthday party, or just goofing around with their friends, so I could have a life model to draw from. And every single video that came up was parents filming their P.T. sessions, and praising how "normal" they were becoming]
And if a kid needs a personal aide in school, they rarely get to even talk to their classmates without the adult getting in the middle of the conversation.
And if a kid misses out on school because they need surgery, instead of getting a summer vacation, they have to get summer school to make up for lost time.
n especially when come to behaviorally, white nondisabled children get be the most “child,” n Black n other disabled children of color get “child” stolen from them in multiple ways.
Yes! Preach!
The intersectional bigotry starts early.
