People who don't hyperfixate will never know the slightly horrible, completely impossible-to-replicate feeling of being so intensely invested in something it possesses you, takes over your waking thoughts and rides some weird line between being excited, anxious, and stressed as hell while still being entirely some other beast.

never, ever, ever let the the stress of this bitch of an earth and its torment nexus stop you from making time for yaoi

Hey everyone,

I don't usually do original posts and I try to keep this a positivity blog, but I feel I need to reach out to all of my followers, especially my followers living in the US.

Yesterday's election and the time leading up to it were extremely stressful. The results of the election were not what many of us hoped they would be. I can honestly say I woke up this morning and immediately felt my heart plummet into my stomach once I turned on the news.

My mind raced with questions. How was this going to affect my students (I'm a public school teacher)? How would this affect my family? Friends? Me? Why did so many people see what this monster did during the last 8 years and think, yeah that's the guy I want running the country?

I was disappointed and angry. I wanted to rant and rave. I wanted to fight back against an unjust and biased system. But I didn't .

I got dressed, drank my coffee, and went to work. Because I had a duty to my students. I knew many of them would be scared of what would come next and would look to me to give them answers. And even if I didn't have answers, I could still be a consistent, calm, and reassuring person in their lives.

All this to say, I hope you are gentle with yourself in these upcoming days. I hope you can be a consistent, calm, and caring person in someone's life, or that you are able to find someone to be that for you. I hope we are able to fight back against an unjust and oppressive system together.

One way or another, we'll come out of this together. We will have bad days, probably many bad days, in the future. But we will survive this. We have lived through every single terrible day before this, and we will survive this too.

Remember, be gentle with yourself. But also prepare to fight. Because we will not let ourselves be run over by those who think they can overpower us. We will show them what happens when we stand together.

We can do this.

I love you.

🖤🩶🤍💜

What she says: I'm fine

What she means: Do you ever think about the tragedy of Gerard Keay and Jonathan Sims? Mag 153 when Jon said "Gerry wasn't yours." with a snarl to serial killers. How Jon grew fond of him through statements alone "Our Gerard." How lonely Jon was when meeting him, and how every avatar up to that point has hurt him, and how it just gets worse. How the other characters either hurt him or treated him like shit, many times, because of things outside of his control. "I always wanted my friends to call me Gerry." How Jon burned Gerry's page even though it would harm him (through the eye's hatred of lost knowledge, and through the anger of the hunters) because he believed Gerry was a person and deserved better. "Just rest." How they were both kind and did their best to help people despite it all. How they were manipulated into terrible situations because of it. They would have been such good friends. Fuck, maybe if Jon had Gerry to remind him that he is not a monster some marks could've been avoided...maybe they could've had a softer epilogue.

Queerplatonic relationships are so difficult to explain to people outside the community, like yes we were kissing each others cheeks and hugging but like in a bestie way

the trick for enjoying a new video game is avoiding the internet’s opinion on it 

[mikecrewsteacup]

Kept thinking about how weak and disorientated Jon gets when cut off from the Eye, which got me thinking about Martin having to help him as his state got worse.

Surprisingly, instead of getting angsty, I ended up with Jon being carried around like a ragdoll.

hey i said this in a group chat earlier and honestly it fucks, so i’m gonna post it here too

Feel disgusted by something? Don’t immediately act on it. Deconstruct your disgust!

Be just a little curious about it. Why do you feel disgusted by something? What is it about the thing that disgusts you? Is it the whole that disgusts you, or just a part? Do you feel disgusted because you’re supposed to? Has someone told you to feel disgusted? Are you just disgusted because something looks unfamiliar to you? Do other people seem disgusted or are there people opposing your disgust (or do they, on the flipside, like it?). Is there a cultural context you might be missing? More importantly, could there be biases like racism, sexism, classism, homo- or trans-phobia at play? Is the object of your digust actually causing harm? Does someone benefit from your disgust politically?

Disgust is a powerful emotion, but one that deserves a lot of self-reflection. It’s easily weaponised and often deeply flawed.

"how can m/f ships be good-" first of all through the power of bisexuality anything is possible so write that down. second of all if we start othering ships based on gender and nothing else we're no better than the opposition. third of all you need to watch more addams family

being on the aro spectrum would be a lot easier if being single wasn't made to feel like a literal death sentence

it's so weird to me that everyone on this website is a human person outside of their weird internet niche so rb this with a random bit of your lore

[mikecrewsteacup]

Stumbled upon this random ship (in a fandom im not active in myself) that has like 150 works on ao3 which are all from just two people gifting each other fics about this pairing back and forth and theyve been doing it for 3 years... i think thats true love probably
