Maybe Daydreaming About My Characters When I Try To Sleep At Night Will Fix Me /j

I hate it when the songs that give me bad mental health also sound so catchy. Like I re-listened to a song that gives me a weird spinning in microwave feeling but it’s a catchy way to explain some of my trauma so-

I once saw a youtube comment wish that Doubt Comes In didn’t include Eurydice’s part so that we could experience the trial from Orpheus’ perspective and feel the same doubt of whether she’s actually following him. I thought about this for a bit and would like to appreciate that Hadestown doesn’t go down this  route. All things considered, Eurydice is the true main character of Hadestown: she gets the dramatic final introduction in the opener, Any Way The Wind Blows is very much a traditional protagonist “I Want” song, and Act 1 closely follows her changing perspective of Orpheus whilst he just kinda stays static throughout. Although Act 2 sorta forgets about this set-up and leans more towards Orpheus as the story’s hero, she still gets an upward journey from a jaded woman bitter towards the lonely world into an intensely passionate optimist who would walk with her lover to the end of time. It would be a disgrace for her voice to be taken away at the very end of the story, as the suspense comes not from dreading that Orpheus’ doubts may actually come true, but from hoping that Eurydice’s renewed faith and assured attempts at comforting her broken lover will be enough to save her.

Why must all fanfics who portray Autistic! Zuko make him an awkward turtleduck?? (Speaking as an autistic person)

I think it's related to an odd fetishization of autistic people as "soft" and "vulnerable" and "helpless." Making someone "autistic" is a way to "babyfy" them and make them more "cute" and "awkward." People not interested in actually writing autism accurately; instead people who want to write "awkward turtleduck" Zuko use "autism" as a crutch to further that characterization. Interestingly, I have read a few fanfics which try to write neurodivergent Azula, and it never looks anything like the common depiction of "autistic Zuko."

Full disclosure: I'm not neurodivergent myself, and I'm not sure what the best way to depict autism is. It just seems to me that common "Autistic! Zuko" portrayals aren't very accurate.

Teachers constantly call me high functioning and I have level 2 social communications and level 1 repetitive behaviors autism so I'm always wondering what a level 1 across the board autistic person is like if I'm considered high functioning

I really think that we need to be at peace with the idea of people posting online for attention. Literally every free piece of media from shitposts to art is being made for the very human need for attention and that's healthy and okay. It's not harmful behaviour to make funnyman shitposts for attention. I love my useless internet clout points actually
