Anxiety attacks aren’t always hyperventilating and rocking back and forth

Anxiety attacks can take different forms, such as:

Understanding the way our or other’s anxiety works can help to decrease the stigma and help to calm a person faster and get them out of that state. These are just a few, but it gives an idea of the range in which attacks can come.

This. A lot. And I mean A LOT of people forget.

Woah

So obviously Captain Phasma knows Finn’s serial number, but according to the Visual Guide, she makes sure to memorize the serial numbers of ALL the stormtroopers under her command. Every other imperial soldier/officer just seems to say “you there” or barely acknowledge their presence, but here’s their BOSS referring to them by the closest thing they’ve got to a name. She GIVES them an identity, and refers to them as an individual.

Also, apparently the reason she doesn’t hang out in the control room with Hux and Ren is because she voluntarily takes patrols of the base. She doesn’t think she’s above normal duties - she feels what her men do is important and helps out, too.

And think back to when Solo and Finn have her captured. She shows utmost faith in her men - those same stormtroopers everybody laughs about how useless they are - she BELIEVES in them. “You can’t possibly be so stupid as to think this will be easy. My troops will storm this block and kill you all.” She’s pissed. But she has such faith in her men that she TURNS OFF the shield JUST so they’ll know where to come. She doesn’t hesitate! She KNOWS they can do this!

Listen I’m not saying she’s the kind of boss that has memorized every trooper’s birthday, but MAYBE cupcakes just MYSTERIOUSLY SHOW UP in the break room on those days.

I AM HERE FOR THIS

remember, FN-2187 was a sanitation worker back on the base, but Phasma knew his number by heart and recognized him in different clothing when he held her up. she cares about every member of her team, even the ones most commanders would barely acknowledge

she murdered everyone in an entire village

dystopia au where we are all assigned one of two chosen genders at birth

Thanks to ultrasounds, the genders can be assigned before birth.  The people are so excited to conform they throw “Gender reveal parties” to make sure their offspring exist in a strict binary since before they can even form thoughts. 

Children are color-coded according to their binary assignment. 

One of the genders is seen as inherently inferior.

And both genders have a set of rules, restrictions, and accepted characteristics that must be adhered to at all times. Even minute defiance or momentary failure to conform is likely to be met with punishment, ranging from shaming and forceful reeducation to ostracism and even death.

Hey wait a minute.

never tell a person going through depression, “you can’t be ‘tired’, all you do is blah blah blah, etc.” depression makes you physically exhausted and some people just don’t understand how much of a drag it is and how hard we try to be up/awake and to even gather up enough motivation to leave the house.

Good

attack on manhood is my fav anime

the fact that a platonic relationship between a guy and a girl is read as romantic while a romantic one between two girls is read as platonic is the very definition of heteronormativity (and another way of talking about that might be to say that people are, perhaps, wearing hetero goggles)

not being out as trans like

One of the things that drew me to this show was how many major characters were women who were complex, well-written, flawed, and so different from each other in personality, moral development, etc. This gif set shows warriors, diplomats, ‘ordinary’, master manipulators, scientists, soldiers, politicians, introverts, extroverts, anti-heroes, anti-villains, different combinations of masculine and feminine traits embodied in some of these same individuals, and the reminder that femininity is not exclusively tied to kindness but gentleness is never weakness. 

imagine your OTP as an escapist fantasy you preoccupy yourself with in order to cope with your crushing fear of the emotional vulnerability of a real relationship
