Beginning to think some of you don’t actually know what a crackship is

A crackship is not looking at two characters who interact a lot and have an established dynamic and going 'haha what if they kissed that'd be so funny'. No no. A crackship is like. 'Main character/shopkeep who only has two lines'. It's 'big bad/that exact same shopkeep'. It's 'Frodo Baggins/Shadow the Hedgehog'. If it does not boggle the mind it's not really a crackship.

You know the saying, "Whatever floats your boat"? Well a crackship isn't even that. It's what will drag your soul to the bottom of Davy Jones' locker and make onlookers cover their eyes in horror.

I was younger than you are now, when I was given my first command I led my men straight into a massacre, I witnessed their deaths firsthand I made every mistake, and felt the shame rise in me And even now I lie awake, knowing history has its eyes on me

*talks about historical figures like i know them personally*

“And yet, they hesitated. The knowledge that they might never see each other again, that some of them—maybe all of them—might not survive this night hung heavy in the air. A gambler, a convict, a wayward son, a lost Grisha, a Suli girl who had become a killer, a boy from the Barrel who had become something worse.

What bound them together? Greed? Desperation? Was it just the knowledge that if one or all of them disappeared tonight, no one would come looking? […] She had no family, no parents or siblings, only people to fight beside. Maybe that was something to be grateful for, too.”

+ bonus:

looking @ the notes on that ‘everyone needs to grow up’ article and i think the subtle point that a lot of the commentary on that post is missing is and what muva toni morrison was saying…..adulthood isn’t just ‘responsibility’—taking out ur trash and making ur bed—children can do those things…..adulthood is operating emotionally from an empowered place and not from the vulnerabilities and fears of ur childhood. to not get stuck in cynicism or escapism or to expect other adults to provide for u the way a parent should (which automatically disempowers u emotionally).

as we grow older, many of the very legitimate fears and self-protection mechanisms we developed to survive living under the brutal conditions we live under, worked for us as children, but they no longer serve us as adults. to be an adult is to cultivate urself, to understand what to keep and what to discard. it is an activity—a practice—a verb not a noun.

Any way to put thus into the context of disability without it just feeling more disempowering?

i feel like this isn’t that out of context of disability or that it’s necessarily disempowering for disabled people but if u need more—here’s a bit from johanna hedva’s ‘sick woman theory’ which basically says the same thing.
