if a teenager is at your door and they are wearing a costume!! please give them candy!! they are still in it for the halloween spirit and it honestly no different from a little kid in a costume. they are just as excited and happy as all the other lil tykes and dont you dare tell them they are “too old for trick-or-treating” because that will literally break their hearts and that’s not cool.
Its getting close to Halloween again so I just thought I’d reblog this again
this is why I was a ghost from 10 to 18 except at 12.
Also…when I went trick-or-treating with my teenage friends, we made the streets safer for the little kids. The teens who were out to do mischief, who were generally not in costume or toting their own pillow cases, did not mess with the littles who were near us, because they knew we’d get involved. Make kids safer by encouraging Hallowteens!
I’d also like to add that a lot of kids–especially kids of color–get mistaken for being a lot older than they really are.
I’d also like to add that Jehovah’s Witness children aren’t allowed to celebrate Halloween or go trick or treating, so many of us go trick or treating after leaving the cult, and most newly freed ex JWs are around 18-25. And some of us, including me, have anxiety about going door to door.
Peridot: “Luckily, I don’t leave home without a blaster.”
Peridot: Is the most successful long-lasting solo antagonist up to date who was only captured because she had to eject something that cost her mobility, and then made an especially risky move in kidnapping Steven right from the Temple, which she pulled off without a hitch and could have easily killed him at that point. Immediately after capture, she was able to effectively use her knowledge of the Cluster to negotiate for her survival.
Peridot: before then, outmaneuvered, trapped, and nearly killed Garnet and Pearl- two of the senior members and heavy hitters of the Crystal Gems- in Friend Ship.
Peridot: Successfully evaded capture and defended herself on multiple occasions using functions of her enhancers that she was markedly unfamiliar with and improvising the entire time.
Peridot: Dramatically redesigned and rebuilt the communications hub into a working structure without any assistance, though it took the Crystal Gems a three-gem fusion to take it down both times.
Peridot: Markedly outspoken, opinionated, and inquisitive, to the point that she argues with every ostensible superior she has ever interacted with- Jasper, Yellow Diamond, and the Crystal Gems- and makes her argument against YD effectively and clearly without once parroting anything the Crystal Gems have told her. Is consistently an outspoken, inquisitive, and inventive character.
Peridot: Was able to build a functional battle tank in a barn using tools she was so unfamiliar with she was holding at least one upside-down the entire time, and then pilot it effectively through the entirety of Robolympics and the fight afterwards against Pearl.
Peridot: Along with Pearl, built the drill, and individually piloted it to the center of the planet, where, despite being heavily damaged by the Cluster, it managed both the initial descent and the return trip without endangering Steven and Peridot once.
Peridot: Able to defeat Jasper using a power she had never exploited in combat before, taking advantage of the fact that Jasper was completely focused on Amethyst and Steven, though it took her considerable time and effort to do so, further reinforcing the consistent message that operating without her enhancers is unnecessarily difficult for for her, with no gain.
Peridot: Feels so strongly about doing the right thing that she personally and openly argued with the highest authority that she knew of, and was willing to do the same to the Crystal Gems. At this point, is experiencing a fairly major crisis as she feels divided between what she’s found on Earth and what she does not want to give up from Homeworld, and has largely tried to bond with Lapis- who is another homesick Gem that likes Earth but doesn’t want to give up Homeworld forever for it.
Fandom: look at this defenseless toddler who has been spoonfed all of her opinions by Homeworld, lol, can you imagine, she took out Jasper.
you don’t even need any factual backup to headcanon a character as autistic tbh. they don’t need to have whatever you consider to be “common autistic traits”. if an autistic person wants to headcanon a character as autistic because they identify with that character, or because it makes them feel good, or for whatever reason, let them.
I’ve seen allistic people reblogging this post and that actually makes me really happy. thank you for listening to autistic voices stay tolerant and stay lovely
how about instead of pretending that lesbians never fall in love with straight women, we understand that a lesbian falling in love with a straight woman is not predatory?
lesbians are allowed to have unrequited crushes for fuck’s sake, there is nothing inherently bad or predatory about a lesbian falling in love with someone who can never return the feeling. it fucking happens to everyone, yes, lesbians included.
a lesbian being attracted to a straight woman doesn’t make that straight woman a victim. straight women’s collective terror and loathing of lesbians makes them homophobes, not victims.
now, if a lesbian stalks her unrequited crush? if she harasses her unrequited crush? if she does legitimately bad things in the name of her unrequited crush? yes, then she’s being predatory, just like anyone else who does these things, and regardless of whether her crush was straight or gay.
but simply having a crush on a straight woman? are you fucking kidding me?
come the fuck on. stop agreeing with straight women who think lesbian attraction is inherently malicious.
reckless & terribly gay
