You ever hear that old chestnut about how most people neglect the part of the story of Icarus where he also had to avoid flying too low, lest the spray of the sea soak his feathers and cause him to fall and drown? You ever think about how different the world would be if Icarus died that way instead? If the idiom was to Fly To Close To The Sea? A warning against playing it far too safe, about not stretching your wings and soaring properly? You ever think about how Icarus died because he was happy?

The opposite of “manic pixie dream girl” is “depressed goblin nightmare man,” and, judging by this site, it’s just as attractive to some.

mice are having sex in my walls :(

Oooof

Writers are scary because we’ll take personal trauma and think, "Hmm… what if this happened to my fictional characters but worse?"

I need you to understand that when I say "comments are appreciated!" I mean that I will reply to every one of them. I mean that an email with an ao3 notification has a higher priority than a message from my mother. I mean that I will have entire discussions in the comment section if you're up for it. Message me on tumblr and I will have the same discussions on an even more unhinged level. I will dissect entire personalities and ships and fictional political structures and worldbuilding with you. I will become your new best friend. You already ARE my new best friend. At the last battle, I would raise Anduril and say "For my ao3 readers" while a single tears rolls down my cheek, and dive into the fray. I would upload from beyond the grave if someone asked about the next chapter

I need help!

I’ve been playing Elder Scrolls Online with a group of older guys (I call them Xbox Grandpas) for the past 10 years. They’ve been with me through good and bad, and when I’ve been pregnant (twice since knowing them) they’ve thrown virtual baby showers (with in game gifts) as I had no one in real life to do so. This summer I’m going on a road trip to meet them.

I need help finding/designing gifts! We have a ton of inside jokes.

Blankets would be a good option for all of them as I don’t know their clothes size and who doesn’t love a blanket? But I’m not sure on designs!

The easiest is: I need a compass where every direction is south! This grandpa and I give one another the most (affectionate) shit. We have a very antagonistic relationship. He plays in Cyrodiil (on Red only : Red or Dead!) and spends a lot of time standing on Chalman with his lancers. He loves making gold but doesn’t like to spend it.

One grandpa made a joke so now we always say ‘Heavy Sack on (Gamertag)’. He is a sweet guy with a chaotic, golden retriever energy. His wife (Xbox grandma but she doesn’t play she just says hi sometimes) is also adorable but that’s an aside. He’s a bit absent minded (might be ADHD) and is always starting fights when we are trying to travel because he can’t help himself. He is an optimistic pessimist (says things like ‘oh, we are gonna die’ with a cheery tone. He’s just here to have fun.

The third grandpa/uncle (he’s not quite old enough to be my grandpa so he refuses lol) is always leading the pack. He gives us crap about it but he’s the only one who knows what’s going on. With the other four of us (myself included) it’s like herding cats). Out of the game he gives me a lot of life advice and tries to help me manage being a SAHM of three kids in a foreign country. He encourages me to take care of ‘my kids mom’ because I can’t take care of them if I don’t take care of me.

My fourth grandpa/uncle (also not old enough) loves Oogie Boogie so something Oogie Boogie parody would be great — and he never has enough transmutation crystals. He loves chaos and doing something new.

Any links to Etsy or other sellers who might be able to help would be greatly appreciated! Suggestions for ideas, memes that I might be able to work with, etc.

We give each other shit lovingly, but it’s a very wholesome relationship so please nothing NSFW (even though Heavy Sack is tempting)

Good luck haha 😈

Me: I'm so over RaPhAeL

Me: *writes fic unrelated to the devil.* But I mean this character does have to meet him at some point cause ya know, it's canon.

Me: writes 3000 words of character arguing with RaPhAeL cause I don't care about him and he's unrelated to the plot. - oh! Let's change the plot and make it about Haarlep actually!

Me: *twitching*, trying not to twist the story around and make it about RaPhAeL.

I've been seeing a disturbing number of "queer safe spaces" describe themselves as things like "femme & them" and even worse "she+," conflating femininity & nonbinaryhood. cease this immediately. say it with me: nonbinary people are NOT women-lite and it is extremely violent and straight up incorrect to imply that all they/thems are fem adjacent. this is erasure and this verbiage does nothing but make gnc and nonbinary spaces unsafe for masc and male nonbinary people. nonbinary, genderqueer and other third gender people can be and are masculine and men, we can be hes as well as shes and theys, stop allowing yourself and your peers to view nonbinary as woman/femme-lite, signed a butch nonbinary person.
