HELP i’m sitting at an outdoor cafe and this lady was at another table next to me and the barista called my name and I stood up to walk ten feet to grab my drink and the lady JUMPED up and LUNGED over to my table and took my seat????? i’m not even gonna say anything bc I’m so confused. they’re virtually the same tables with the same views and amount of sunlight etc.

Soft Gestures for Comfort

Bringing them a blanket when they’re curled up on the couch.

Whispering, "It’s okay, I’m here," when they wake up from a bad dream.

Stroking their hair gently when they’re lying on your lap.

Running a warm bath for them after a tough day.

Holding them close and saying, "I’ve got you," when they’re upset.

Preparing their favorite comfort food when they’re feeling low.

Turning off their alarm and letting them sleep in when they’re exhausted.

Reading their favorite book to them before bed.

Playing their favorite soothing music to help them relax.

Just sitting in silence with them, letting them know your presence is their safe space.

May you step on Legos barefoot

May your breakfast forever be a none pizza with left beef.

May you be bombarded with shitposts in all your emails and socmed.

Like to charge, reblog to cast.

Wild that about an hour ago I got a Kudos e-mail from AO3... with one single, solitary kudos from a lonely reader somehow lucky enough to manage to both read that story and kudos it while AO3 is fighting for its life. 😅😂

[blessedforever195]

stunned that every time I logged into Twitter today “ao3 outage” wasn’t the top trending topic like what do you mean this wasn’t your 9/11 too

[blessedforever195]

Me throughout 2020-2021-2022-2023:

Me the moment AO3 has been down for more than ten hours:

[blessedforever195]

i woke up and ao3 is still down and i saw a volunteer say what keeps them going is knowing how important their work is to so many people and let me just say

IT IS SO IMPORTANT

do you know how many people rely on this site to get a bit of happy feelings and delighted laughter and other wonderful emotions every day

ao3 volunteers you rock, pls take care of yourselves and eat and drink and sleep enough, we adore you

[blessedforever195]

if the hackers gave a hurt/comfort fic a chance they would change their minds
