It's easier to accept that you're aromantic once you understand that what you want isn't romance per se and it's really the companionship that appeals to you. I never actually liked the thought of being in a relationship but I liked the thought of being important to someone

The grim reaper was initially illustrated as doing a mundane, regular job that everyone has seen done - a reaper swings his scythe and the hay falls, just as easy as people fall as death swings. Now many people who have never been to a farm only know the scythe as the weapon of Death personified, and farmers in most places of the world don't even use them anymore.

Imagine Death personified as someone doing a modern regular, mundane job. Imagine thinking "hoo boy, this is it for me. The Grim Bin Man is coming to collect, hauling my sorry soul into the trash compactor of his great eternal garbage truck."

when you get into a new thing and all you really care about is that thing and you’re destroying your blog spamming that thing so you have to start pretending to care about other things so there’s some variety

so embarrassing to get obsessed with your own oc but it doesn't fuel you creatively or motivate you at all you just sort of sit there. like yeah I've been thinking a lot about blorbo from my mind. no images of them exist in the world and they have maybe 3 personality traits so far. I would rather die than attempt to write about them. I've spent the last 48 hours rotating them in my brain though

some people think writers are so eloquent and good with words, but the reality is that we can sit there with our fingers on the keyboard going, “what’s the word for non-sunlight lighting? Like, fake lighting?” and for ten minutes, all our brain will supply is “unofficial”, and we know that’s not the right word, but it’s the only word we can come up with…until finally it’s like our face got smashed into a brick wall and we remember the word we want is “artificial”.

a funny thing about tumblr is the posts that Get Me Followed are not necessarily the posts that Blow Up. so there’s this decent chunk of people that have followed me because they like hearing about my parents being kind people, or because my depression advice struck a chord with them, or something else that is meaningful and beautiful and wholesome and then one day they stumble across one of my Thermonuclear Dumbass Event posts and it clicks and theyre like. wait. no. you’re the egg guy/eraser guy/scurvy guy/cant-get-pregnant guy/bootycalled minion guy? that was you?

and i have to be like: yes. 😔 i am a man of many guys. and while i contain great wisdom. i also contain. many eggs. and erasers. and almost no vitamin c. im sorry.

S15 Round 1

girlfriend thief

A and B both have romantic interest in the same other girl. A is a much closer childhood friend of her, while B only met her recently - so when the girl starts to get closer to B, A starts to grow jealous. After A hatches a plan to separate the two, B ends up getting kidnapped and imprisoned, with A being blamed due to the circumstances. So after A finds the imprisoned B and explains that she didn't capture her, she decides to help free her - albeit reluctantly, considering how she DID "steal her girlfriend."

As A goes on a quest to help save B, the two start to talk a bit more during the downtime, starting to grow closer as A lets down her walls a bit more. Eventually, the two start to realize that the girl they both liked never seemed to really harbor ROMANTIC interest towards either of them - and in addition, their talks with one another have gradually made them become a bit more interested in each other. Ultimately, the two decide to try going out with each other, instead. Once the girl, who was going on her OWN separate quest to help free B, arrives to do exactly that, she confirms their suspicions regarding her romantic attraction (or the lack thereof), and goes on to support A and B in their relationship.

cross-political dating

cw: major spoilers

Pride and Sorrow met as children, starting out as enemies before gradually becoming each other’s first friends. War and politics drive them apart, with neither being sure if the other is even still alive until they are reunited as teens — whereupon Sorrow immediately proceeds to sacrifice himself to save Pride’s life twice within the span of about five minutes. Sorrow transfers to Pride’s school, and even after years apart the two still use the secret language they made up as kids. However, unbeknownst to them both, they are on opposite sides of the violent political conflict at the center of the narrative, with their secret identities being nemeses on the battlefield. Pride finds out Sorrow’s identity first, has a complete breakdown about it, and starts working overtime to protect Sorrow and convince him to switch sides, although he refuses to use his superpower on him to do so (despite having very few qualms about manipulating everyone else with it). Unfortunately for everyone, Sorrow has a massive guilt complex and is actively trying to get himself killed, eventually pushing Pride to use his power to forcibly compel Sorrow to stay alive. Sorrow later discovers Pride’s identity, right on the heels of Pride’s worst mistake — and, fueled by grief, betrays him in the worst possible way.

The two each proceed to get unfathomably worse, manipulating and betraying each other in increasingly awful ways, while still treating each other as best friends at school in a truly stunning picture of cognitive dissonance. Even in the rare moments when they really do try to repair their relationship, forces outside their control only end up driving them further apart. Finally, after a series of civilization-destroying shenanigans and wild revelations, the two reluctantly join forces to take over the world and wrangle it into peace, with Pride as the ruler and Sorrow as his reaper. They become close again during this time, although their relationship remains complicated and fraught, and finally they conclude their grand plan by having Sorrow assassinate Pride in front of the entire world. Despite everything, Sorrow cries when he kills Pride, and Pride cradles Sorrow’s face through it. Sorrow has to spend the rest of his life carrying out Pride’s vision for the world, left alone as the only person who knows that Pride wasn’t the monster he made the world believe he was.
