fictional kiss things that end me

being unable to open their eyes for a few moments afterward

one small kiss, pulling away for an instant, then devouring each other

pressing their foreheads together while kissing

speaking normally, then after the kiss their voice is hoarse

guys furrowing their brow when kissing passionately

staring at the other’s lips, trying not to kiss them, before giving in

running their thumb over the other’s lips

when they lean forward a fraction as if to kiss the other person, then realize they shouldn’t and pull back to stop themselves

ripping the other away - “no we shouldn’t” - but when they kiss them again they moan and hold them close

one sliding their hand into the other’s hair slowly

their entire body freezing for a second when their love kisses them

accidentally being forced inches apart from each other, staring at each other’s lips, and just before they kiss someone pulls them back apart

when one stops the kiss to whisper “I’m sorry, are you sure you-” and they answer by kissing them more

a hoarse whisper “kiss me”

then licks their lips and says “please”

Sometimes I think back on the time I spent working as a barista, and it seems SO STRANGE to me that “coffee shop AU” has become synonymous with narratives that are low on conflict, high on wholesome romance. During the year I spent working at a coffee shop:

A coworker of mine took a bunch of psychedelics, walked through some strangers’ plate-glass door, and threatened them with a bowie knife, leading to his arrest and imprisonment (and, needless to say, a late opening for the coffee shop that morning). 

Another coworker, an ex-military type with a young wife and a new baby, decided to smoke up for the first time ever with two other mutual coworkers, in the back of one of their trucks; and ended up having a three-way with them which ended his marriage. 

I had a nervous breakdown, stopped being able to eat food or hold conversations, and ended up sleeping on my coworker’s couch for three weeks before she finally called my parents to come collect me.

Multiple store managers were fired for embezzlement. (Reminder: this was within the space of a single year.)

Yet another coworker, who was seventeen at the time, started dog-sitting for a couple of regulars in their (I’m guessing) early 50s, and ended up in an ongoing creepy and incidentally illegal ~relationship~ with them both. 

Various employees discovered, in the course of cleaning the bathrooms: couples fucking in the bathrooms; junkies passed out in the bathrooms; drunks puking in the bathrooms; both adults and children weeping in the bathrooms; a woman bleeding all over the bathroom from a gash in her throat (??); a dude standing in the middle of the bathroom floor and pissing in the opposite direction from the toilet, so that when the employee opened the unlocked door she got piss all over her (????). 

The owner of the bridal shop across the street was exposed as both abusive toward her employees and also cooking the books, which led to my coffee shop taking on a couple of untrained and weirdly conservative bridal shop workers for a few months while the bridal shop was shuttered and sold to new owners. Later the larcenous former bridal shop owner came down with some horrible disease which caused her to lose both her hands.  

There was a regular universally referred to as “Sketchy Steve,” who came in at 7am for a three-shot latte with room for Seagrams 7, and dealt drugs to all us baristas. I actually, at one point (I cannot believe I was this stupid), went inside Sketchy Steve’s house, and allowed him to spend like half an hour showing me his collection of découpaged outlet plates and also soliciting me for sex while I uncomfortably yet studiously declined.

Right before I started, the store manager had walked off the job in the middle of a shift, and ¾ of the employees had walked out after him. None of them ever returned. 

Like, working on the front lines of food service was the most operatically sordid professional experience I have ever had, and one of the most surreal; and it is hilarious to me that THAT, of all jobs, is the one that has come to stand for soft-focus domestic romance in fandom circles.

Well, welcome to the Brave New World!

Let me tell you anoter (not) beautiful story: the Syberian forest (even bigger then   Amazonia) was on fire SINCE MARCH and now is AUGUST. Do you have any idea how many hectares was destroyed? I got you! 14,9 millions.

14 900 000 hectares with animals and all the stuff.

And they are still burning right now. And the TV was silent (still is) and most of the people didn’t even know ‘till July, then twitter maked it trending hashtag. You know what the government say? “It economicaly non-profitable to extinguish a fire” (quote)

While they keep sending money to Venezuela or other countries.

Like, even after people started to make a noise, they did nothing ‘till Trump proposed help. And after that it suddenly it's a profitable to save the biggest forest in the world.

I am still astonished that this whole story happened at all. Like, how the f...

So, thank to twitter hashtags, I guess.

not to be that person but #savespiderman and all other relevant hashtags are trending top 10 worldwide on twitter but #prayforamazon or anything about the amazon fire is getting nowhere near the attention of the custody battle of a fictional character is getting, the amazon forest is the earth’s largest eco system, it literally is the lung of the planet and the forest is on fire for 16 days straight and we only know about it like today like can we get our priority straight,,,

no wonder! have you even seen Dazai?

this guy came in mafia when he was fucking 15 (you, in his age, asked to your mommy money for ice creame) and became one of the five executive in fucking 16! he was in charge of the interrogation squad, and bloody hell he was good at it!

and if you touch him, this crazy Akutagawa guy will come and rip your pitty ass in pieces.

do not touch Osamu Dazai. don’t even look at him.

or he will notice you.

i bet if some mafia guy meet Dazai on the street, they immediately change the direction, look down and ignore his existence at all.

say what you will, but nothing says big dick energy as much as Dazai doing literally nothing to stay underground after he escaped the Port Mafia. in most of these shows, the person who ran away changer their name, appearance, even mannerisms and moved to the country to raise ducks.

dazai? he changed his….. coat? 

and took off his bandages. that’s literally it. same name, same city, no effort to say underground.

and it fucking WORKED
