Novelist Khaled Hosseini tells the world about how proud he is of his transgender daughter

The Afghan-American novelist Khaled Hosseini (author of The Kite Runner and A Thousand Splendid Suns), tweeted about his daughter coming out as transgender.

“I’ve never been prouder of her.,” he wrote. “She has taught our family so much about bravery and truth.”

Over at Instagram he noted: 

“Most of all, I am inspired by Haris’ fearlessness, her courage to share with the world her true self. She has taught me and our family so much about bravery, about truth. About what it means to live authentically. I know this process was painful for her, fraught with grief and anxiety. She is sober to the cruelty trans people are subjected to daily. But she is strong and undaunted.“

In another tweet he added:

“I love my daughter. She is beautiful, wise, brilliant. I will be by her side every step of the way. Our family stands behind her.“

LORE SOUP HOT AND FRESH

Hey guys I finally finished that massive PowerPoint with all the Markiplier Lore plus my own thoughts, interpretations and theories. 

I’ve got two different versions of slides: 

The first version is 69 slides (nice) with the text more densely packed on the slides and you can find it here. If you want to get straight to theories skip to slide 29 because the first half is restating things we already know. 

The second version is hopefully more accessible, and I tried to break up the longer slides as much as I could though they are still fairly text-heavy so let me know if I need to make any edits so it’s easier to read. This version is 90 slides and you can find it here. If you want to skip straight to the theories they start on slide 43.

Also, I would like to thank @ragingstinkingrottengay and @smiledog15578​ for their notes from Mark’s lore streams, because although I still did go back and re-watch them myself, there’s a shit ton of information there and so it was easy to forget minor things. 

Reblogs are appreciated because I lowkey spent a really long time on this lol 

Also feel completely free to leave any comments or criticisms because I really enjoy reading other people’s input and talking about it 

Loose concept of something I came up with last night

Dark hates mirrors. One might think it’s because every time he looks at himself in one, he sees himself as the twisted version of himself that he has become outside his own control. That it reminds him of events that he would rather forget.

But no, neither of those are the reason why he avoids mirrors.

No, the reason he avoids mirrors like the plague is that every time, without fail, there is someone else there with him in the mirror.

He knows who they are, but does not mutter their name or (former) title.

In a moment of panic and opportunity he was the one that trapped them there, so he doesn’t want to take their name in vain. He doesn’t deserve their name in his mouth, and not in his thoughts either, though the latter it is harder to keep away from.

Obsessed with fanart on Tumblr because

You’ll see the most beautiful depiction of a character you could ever dream of. It’s truly transcendent art that clearly had hours and hours poured into it so this wonderful creator could share a fraction of their love for this fandom. 

And then the artist captioned it as “scrunkly little bastard man”

Okay you know what? Schizophrenia is way too demonized and, as someone who has had it for ten freaking years, I want to dispel some myths about hallucinations.

Aka talking about hallucinations using my own personal examples because I had an actual fucking THERAPIST tell me I was the ONLY person in the world who experienced hallucinations that were not solely visual or auditory. Warning for…hallucinations obviously.

Visual hallucinations - These are hallucinations you see. I usually experience these by way of inanimate objects moving (like dolls or mannequins moving on their own, before you ask yes I do hate clothing stores). Sometimes these can be scary and sometimes they’re mundane! I’ve hallucinated monsters and I’ve hallucinated pretty birds. Hallucinations don’t always have to be scary.

Auditory hallucinations - These are hallucinations you hear. I commonly hear crying, talking, music, and video game noises. If I play a video game for too long and it has a repetitive sound in it, I WILL be hearing that sound for minimum three hours. You think the sound that plays in LoZ when you’re low on hearts is annoying? Try having to listen to it on loop when you’re not even playing the game. Like with visual hallucinations, they’re not always scary! Contrary to popular belief, they can be totally mundane. Hearing voices is not always scary either. Sometimes they just say random stuff, sometimes they give me little pep talks, most of the time they just all talk over each other at once and I’m like GUYS ONE AT A TIME PLEASE jeezy cheez-it’s.

Tactile hallucinations - These are hallucinations you feel. I hear common tactile hallucinations are feelings of bugs on you and fur but I don’t usually have these, I mostly have tactile hallucinations of being choked which is…not fun.

Olfactory hallucinations - These are hallucinations you smell. Yeah I thought of farts first too. So far I haven’t heard of that being a common hallucination though. I hear a common olfactory hallucination is burning? But I just smell wet metal. I…don’t know why.

Gustatory hallucinations - These are hallucinations you taste. I don’t know how to pronounce gustatory either. I often taste blood or metal. I hear those are pretty common gustatory hallucinations.

None of these hallucinations are inherently scary! As a child, I thought hallucinations were a super power. After living with them for over ten years, they just don’t phase me that much. Remember: you don’t have to be schizophrenic to experience hallucinations! There are many things that cause hallucinations including and not limited to trauma, PTSD, psychotic depression, etc. (sometimes even stress!)

But please please please be kind to people who hallucinate. I’ve lived with it for over ten years and (rarely) it can still be terrifying to me sometimes. People say “But there’s nothing there and you know that-“ yes I know that! But it’s still very very real to me and very terrifying! Minimizing what people experience with their hallucinations is not helpful and will only make them feel worse.

Thank you for reading!
