*re-reads My Own Story*: This Is Some Good Stuff

take a moment to check your posture and get a drink of water. look up from your phone or computer screen and just take in your surroundings. 

this is a reminder to check yourself, how you are feeling right now, and do what you can to help yourself. 

you deserve to feel happy in this moment.

lotta people I know, especially neurodivergent ppl with special interests, express fear that they're a "know it all" or a "snob."

If that sounds like you, allow me to clear things up for ya:

A know-it-all loves making others feel inferior with their knowledge. They worked hard to learn something, and now they find great joy in holding it over others' heads.

To a know-it-all, there is no greater pleasure than realizing someone else doesn't know something, and subsequently humiliating that person for their ignorance on a topic.

Snobs and know-it-alls live for that "gotcha" moment, when they get to embarrass a person and lord their knowledge over someone, making them feel worthless for even daring to speak about something they don't know much about.

Whereas someone who just knows a lot revels in getting to share their knowledge with others. The infodump is not to brag, taunt, or embarrass. In fact, just the opposite, we info dump with the goal to engage others in something we love.

When we correct someone, it's because the information we have is important to us, and we want the facts known by everyone possible. Our goal is never to humiliate.

Above all, a know-it-all and a snob will never admit when they are wrong. They will double down and rage against the notion that someone else might know more than they do about a topic.

Someone who admits they are mistaken, that they don't have all the facts, even if it takes them a day to come back embarrassed and say "you know what, yesterday you were right, and I wasn't,"

Can never be a know-it-all or a snob.

Keep learning, keep teaching, keep sharing.

If you spread what you know with honest joy, passion, and the understanding that other people have something valuable to add, you cannot be and are not a snob, and the world is better for your passion!

Soooo episode 1 of CCS…I basically started crying here:

Cried some more here:

Even more here:

And then finally completely lost it here:

Bonus mention: the fact that Yukito stays overnight at the Kinomoto home…my heart…and I refuse to believe he sleeps anywhere but in Touya’s room and in his bed. 

Seeing Kero-chan, Tomoyo, Eriol, Spinel Sun, Mizuki-sensei, Ruby Moon, Yue, Papa Kinomoto, and everyone else made my heart ache with happiness too. 

WELCOME BACK, OLD FRIENDS. I STILL LOVE YOU.

How to use Loki dialogue in everyday life:

Dad: Have you seen my phone?

You: I sent it off, I know not where.

Sister: Will you wash the dishes?

Me: No. Now if you'll excuse me, I have to destroy Jotunheim.

Friend: You're so crazy.

Me: Is it madness? IS IT?

Friend: I would tell you this secret, but I promised not to--

Me: TELL MEEEEE!!!

Sister: Is Dad awake yet?

Me: Father has fallen into the Odin sleep. Mother fears he may never awaken again.

Sister: Hey, remember that time when we were kids and--

Me: I remember a shadow. Living in the shade of your greatness.

Mom: Stop changing channels--

Me: It's too late to stop it. The Bifrost will build until Jotunheim is ripped apart.
