Trying To Be Better - Tumblr Posts

What did his neighbor Luke mean? Chris tried his best at everything. How could that possibly go wrong?

Luke put down his phone and let out a sigh. He then informed Chris ‘trying’ was exactly the problem. “Chris you were born adorable. You don’t need to be anything. Just be.”

Chris was still confused. “How come Brad didn’t get a lecture?”

Luke then informed Chris his boyfriend Brad wasn’t any more subtle or less offensive, just out of frame.

i know this was like, in the notes of a star wars post tm, but your take on darth vader being fucked up and evil because he has chronic pain is really ableist ngl. chronic pain can bring out pre-existing poor coping mechanisms, sure, but it doesnt erode someone's whole moral system like you were saying. the idea that any kinda disability could make you evil is pretty harmful. im not here to say you're a bad person or that u would be ableist on purpose or anything, im just suggesting... maybe reflect on ur biases, be more careful about what you say, idk? u dont need to post this publicly or anything, just a heads up

I’m sorry that it took me so long to reply but I had to take a moment to not respond in anger and do some soul searching.

Thank you for calling me out. I don’t remember if I was trying to be funny or serious or somewhere in between but regardless I was in the wrong for not stopping and thinking before hitting post on my take.

I didn’t think that I was being Ableist but maybe I was and now that I’m able to fully step back and look at it I see how I could have come off as Ableist.
