Twitter acquaintances and fear

 I saw a picture of Abby Trott with Nezuko at the Demon Slayer movie premiere on DeviantArt.  This scares me because they will take any attractive woman and use photoshop to overexaggerate their curves to ridiculous proportions often, and nobody is sacred/off-limits if they’re over 18.  I don’t take her getting hurt well, I still remember when the Supreme Court made “that decision” and I heard the tweets in my head in an upset to the point of tears Annette voice.  It’s like hearing Tara Platt’s Mitsuru/Edelgard cry out in fear at the start of the C rank, it hits this point in my head that infuriates me.  You know that point in Babe where the narrator says “Babe saw why the sheep called dogs ‘wolves,’ and it filled him with a deep a terrible rage” and he proceeds to fight off the dogs?  That’s what happens inside my head when Tara screams, when Abby as Annette cries, I’m ready to kick down a door swinging a weapon around, screaming “I heard shouting, what?!”  You do not mess with these people, they are hilarious, smart and kind.  I would do the same for my own family.  They’ve been like big sisters in my depression and anxiety, which isn’t easy to fight.  You don’t know what you’re doing, you just want it to stop.  You’ll use internet/cable equivalents to drugs, you’ll overspend on music and gaming, you’ll waste time doing things you shouldn’t because you just want the sadness, the fear to stop.  There’s honestly no real reason to be so afraid, yes, there is evil, but there is good, too, and lots of it.  My personal demons are those that say “your empathy is against our law,” but they forget the man I call God would put empathy before the law every time.  If we call ourselves “Little Christs,” let us do the same, let us embrace our LGBTQ+ brothers, sisters and other peoples, dry their tears, bandage their wounds and give them the freedoms and certificates they’ve earned.  And no matter how many times my boss in their game says, “kill your bisexual friend for blaspheming against me!”  I will always refuse.  If that makes me a bad gamer, I’m a bad gamer, but I could never hurt someone who’s been through as much as she has.  And only a handful of people have been able to challenge that fear with kindness and make me go forward, Tara and Abby are two of them.
