just a reminder than tumblr gets face characters fired and if you keep going in this direction with the new Peter Pan face character you are all so suddenly obsessed with you’re going to make him lose his job
can you explain how that happens?
people find out his real name and call him that at the park, therefore taking him out of character and ruining the magic for the younger kids
SIGNAL BOOSTING THIS SHIT
If Roman & Peter were a Classic Hollywood couple I think they would be James Dean and Marlon Brando: Jimmy was totally obsessed with Brando while Brando was more like “whatever”. Even because their looks & scenes (not totally but you get the idea, updated looks xD).
I’m SO CONFUSED as to why this was added to the show. Don’t get me wrong, I loved it, it was just random. It’s like they were making the show and said ‘you know what this needs? More lesbians.’ ‘yeah! And why we’re at it, let’s make it a student teacher relationship!’ ‘YES YES GOOD!’ ‘LET’S MAKE IT THE GIRL WHO GETS BRUTALLY KILLED OFF IN THE FIRST CHAPTER!!’ ‘… THAT ESCALATED QUICKLY BUT I LIKE IT!’
The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders version 5 (DSM-V) came out two weeks ago and this is a big deal.
Let me tell you why:
- The DSM is the manual that mental health professionals use to diagnose people with mental disorders. It gives a list of symptoms.
- It sets the standard in the USA and is greatly influential internationally
- THIS IS A BIG DEAL
“Gender Identity Disorder”, the mental diagnosis that trans* people are required to have in order to have their medical transition (hormones and surgery) covered by insurance, has gone through some changes. LET ME TELL YOU THEM
- “gender identity disorder” is now “Gender Dysphoria” which is cool in that the non-normative identity is not seen as a disorder, just the distress caused by not having the body/social role you know is appropriate.
- There used to be subtypes, like “subtype: sexually attracted to males/females/both/neither” and that’s gone now because fuck, why was that ever relevant?
- It’s no longer filed with paraphilias and sexual dysfunction because seriously why was it ever?
- Where is used to say “the other sex”, it now says “some alternative gender”, which is awesome because it recognizes genders beyond the binary and also because doesn’t conflate sex and gender.
WOO HOO I’M SO EXCITED BUT REALLY I AM!!!! THIS IS A BIG DEAL!!!
