I woke up with my cat curled up on my stomach and so deeply asleep that I thought he was dead. I had to shake him several times to get him to respond and it felt like he wasn’t breathing! But then he was like “??? oh hey, love me” and snuggled up, purring, and made me pet him. 

geez Benji don’t scare me like that…

I hate this. Things like this scare the shit out of me.
Yes a parent should be protective. No they should not STALK their child.
Yes a parent can get upset at a child. No they should not flip out or let their anger make them out of control, or take out their anger on their child.
Yes a parent can lecture and maybe the kid feels like their parent is driving them crazy – but after the last two statements forgive me if I don’t exactly trust these definitions.
A parent should never be their child’s worst nightmare. A pain sometimes, ok, but not a nightmare.
And the idea of a parent “stalking” and “hunting down” their child is horrifying. If you were a good parent, maybe your child would have communicated whereabouts upfront with you already.
And the last statement is the worst. “I will subject you to terror and treat you like my property…. Because I love you!” No one would ever put up with this from a partner, a friend, even a grandparent…. Why is it suddenly okay from a parent?

Fuck toxic parenting.

That graphic is basically acting like emotional and psychological abuse is okay as long as it’s framed as “it’s because I love you.” Which is basically part of the abuse cycle.

parents can easily be some of the most frightening kinds of human beings alive and some of them take the deepest pride in being their kids’ worst nightmare…

The ninth level of hell with Dr. Laura.

I can’t believe it literally says that parents can’t be friends with their kids.That’s literally the most important thing for a healthy relationship.

never let anybody tell you that spite isn’t a motivator. i’ve gotten out of writer’s block and finished drabbles and shortfics because of spite. i’ve done swaths of fanart for whole fandoms out of sheer seething over a notp. i’ve gotten up and done laundry and all the dishes in the house because i saw some nasty ship art and needed to step away from the computer. misdirected fictional butthurt is a fossil fuel my friend and some days you gotta leave a carbon footprint

Spite has motivated many of my viewing and purchasing decisions after seeing the sort of people who didn’t like something. “Oh, hey, this has been roundly condemned by the sort of people who use SJW unironically, that seems like a good reason to buy this product and/or service”

It’s actually rarely steered me wrong. Like I probably would not have paid attention to Fury Road if it weren’t for all the folks going “This movie is a feminist plot!”

Spite got me my first publishing contract!

“Yesss, use your hate spite!” XD
