Saw This At SWCJ And I Can't Get Over How Adorable It Is! 🥹

Autistics trying to join a social group: i am autistic just so you know

Other people: no worries we are all wierd here :)

Ending so devastating I had to draw a happy ending for her

my laura lee headcanon is that she was molested as a kid. maybe from inside the church or from within her family. it’s just a feeling.

i don’t know about y’all but what happened at the pool always felt intentional to me. the look on her face before she dove in head first was all too familiar. and the way she clings to her innocence? it’s very common for victims who have repressed memories of childhood sexual abuse.

Fanfiction literally cannot "normalize" anything. Fanfiction is a weird little niche and fics are not something with massive cultural impact.

i need to see another laura lee ghost and perhaps a javi ghost?? please??

Nat's relationship with the Wilderness is so fascinating to me. She is clearly playing the role of the group's skeptic—she resists the rituals, challenges Lottie’s authority, and often positions herself as the rational voice amid rising hysteria. But underneath it all, she does believe in the Wilderness, perhaps even more deeply and purely than many of the others.

Nat's defiance and skepticism is a defense mechanism. No matter how much she denies it, even to herself, there is some part of Nat that knows the Wilderness is real. But unlike those who romanticize the idea of the Wilderness as a source of self-preservation, salvation, or hope, Natalie sees it for what it truly is: something wild, hungry, dangerous, and intimately tied to their worst impulses. Nat and Lottie possess a unique understanding of the Wilderness as something that lives inside of them all, rather than an external force. I think it's very possible Nat has felt it from the beginning, some darkness within all of them, and it terrifies her. Her resistance is a form of self-protection, a way to maintain some sense of autonomy in the face of something she instinctively knows could consume her. Rather than give herself over to it like the others, she fights it tooth and nail, perhaps knowing better than anyone what it is capable of.

told my roommate dracula was an epistolary novel because it’s made up of letters and she was like. of course it’s made of letters it’s a book

it’s always been so interesting to me that one country’s “civilian casualties” is another country’s “terrorism”

Yes? Yes they should be? Your life-saving medication that you need in order to live for a condition you were born with should be given to you at no cost?
