Adding to the list of things I still care about even after fucking years, Rin and Haruka. I'm still passionate about this. like, I never argued with others, everyone are entitled to their own opinions, but imo they're written so fucking nicely, the passion and understanding they have for eachother is amazing, it's so mutual and it's like their souls are tangled into eachother and it's so beautiful and meaningful and raw.

The fact there are still Chuck Bass supporters in 2025 tells you everything about how doomed we are.

12 years since the show ended, 4 years since I finished watching it, and I'm still not over Blair and Dan.

They were so fucking perfect okayy???? I don't even like gossip girl but I rewatch it every once in a while just for them. They were wayy too well written for that kind of a show. Which is why they didn't end up together, the world (the fans) wouldn't be able to handle them. They're too powerful.

The mischaracterization of Percy is scary at this point. I know people tend to not understand characters in literally any show, but we can hear his thoughts. Y'all. At this point I'm just disappointed.

Sometimes I think about that time I used that one character ai bot of realistic Ligh Yagami to psychologically torture him and make him question his sanity. Damnit I wish he was real and I could do it irl I don't value my life that much anyway

My favourite romance trope is reversed grumpy sunshine/sun moon dynamic, where the fmc is the smart loner and the mmc is the caring, cheerful person. There can be a lot of variations on those two and being the sunshine doesn't mean you gotta be caring and cheerful, the same for moon.

The reason I like it sm is bc when it's done right, the fmc isn't exactly feminine and the mmc is if that makes sense? And it's nice to see bc every fmc I see is feminine and it's good to be feminine, I love femininity and it's such an important quality for everyone to have, but that's the thing why are only the women feminine?

It's nice when we see a mood fmc that acts exactly like a mood mmc would act and the same for the sunshine character. Ofc there are differences in the way people act because of the way society effects them, but those experiences can be acknowledged while also treating people as just humans Yk? Don't write the fmc as a moon fmc, write her as a moon character that happens to be female, and has struggled that reflect that too.

I hope I explained myself well lol

Also when grumpy/moon is soft for sunshine. My favourite thing ever. And he actually appreciates it bc they're not usually like that and it's kinda like I have everyone but you trope as well but not in an engsty teen way but in an Introverted person that has a hard time with emotions that happens to be a girl, that cares for someone deeply that's usually caring and sweet and soft that happens to be a guy

Please I need someone to talk to about these things y'all, I need friends asap🙏🙏🙏

Most people don't understand tom riddle's character (including Jk Rowling). He's not a sad little victim nor is he an evil emotionless monster, he's a traumatized child that became a horrible person, like the "hurt people hurt people" and that shit. I wish people would actually understand his character, especially his own creator that doesn't seem to actually understand how to write characters nor how to understand people and basic psychology

In case no one told you growing up

Bras last longer if you let them air dry. Don���t put them in the dryer.

If you have a problem with frizzy hair, don’t dry your hair with a towel. It makes the frizzies worse. (I recently read an article that said to use a t-shirt? I brush mine out and let it air dry.)

Whites wash best in hot water. Everything else can be in cold - save on your electricity bill.

You can kill 99.9% of germs in a sponge by putting it in the dishwasher for a cycle or by microwaving it for 2 min (be sure to make the sponge damp before microwaving and to put a cup half full of water in with it and please DO NOT squeeze the sponge until it has cooled off)

Airing out your room/house and letting sunlight in every so often can decrease the number of household pests like silverfish and ants.

Black underwear is best during your period as stains are less likely to be visible.

To save money, put aside 10% of each paycheck into a savings account. It’ll add up.

Unless your hair has something on/in it (like grease or mud or something), using conditioner first can actually be the better choice. The conditioner holds in the good oils that help you hair look sleek and beautiful, which shampoo would otherwise wash away.

Speaking of shampoo - if you have long hair, washing just the bits that touch your scalp is generally enough. The rest of your hair gets cleaned with just the run off from your scalp.

If you put a tampon in and it’s uncomfortable/you can feel it, you didn’t do it quite right. A properly placed tampon is virtually unnoticeable by the wearer.

Apply deodorant/antiperspirant a couple hours in advance of when you need it. This gives the product the chance to block your sweat glands. Using deodorant just before going somewhere where you’ll sweat (this means walking outside for people in high humidity places) results in your sweat washing the deodorant off and starkly limiting its usefulness.

After running the dryer, use the dryer sheet from that load to brush out the lint catch - it gets everything off in a fraction of the time it’ll take you to get it clean with your bare hands. Paper towels also work well.

Wash your face everyday, or as often as possible. Forget which brand of cleanser is best. Just washing your face everyday will guarantee you clearer skin. And do you best not to pop pimples, as tempting as the urge may be.

Fold laundry asap after taking it from the dryer to avoid wrinkles. This may seem obvious for dress shirts and silly for things like t-shirts, but you’ll notice the difference even then once your shirts stop looking like unfolded paper balls.

There's something so funny about men sending you dick pics, trying to hold it with their big hands and standing proudly, then holding their dick like this 🤏 cuz it's so much smaller then their hand. I'm sorry but I laugh every time.

I feel like sometimes there are those characters, that I don't like as in I like them for an action they did or because they're good people, or that I just put my morals aside because they're hot (which I sometimes still do), but I like them because I think they're a good, well written, complex character, while acknowledging that they're horrible people. An example for that is bill cipher and the joker, two characters I absolutely fucking love and yet I understand why some people don't, and I can still acknowledge the bad things they did because I don't like them like I like my friends, I like their character

Also I do sometimes feel bad for those characters, but I wish to remind people that you can have trauma and hard stuff happened to you, and still be an objectively bad person that should not be forgiven. Just because someone had a reason to do something, doesn't mean their actions are justifies, it just means that like anything else, things have a cause and effect (which is something I wish people would understand when that show about Jeffrey Dahmer came out but oh well)
