There was a naked person in my brother’s bed, all wrapped up in the duvet.
Not just any person. A boy.
And my brother was getting dressed and leaving.
He put on my watch and his eyes lingered on this boy for another moment, and he looked like he would give anything to stay.

When youve been a writer for long enough, commas become more of a spiritual practice than a grammatical one.
Could I explain the actual rules of how they’re used? Absolutely not.
Do I rely on sensing a tremor in the force to tell me where to use them? Yes and this has never failed me even once.

I made a list of all a-spec rep all over the media
Ok, that's an exaggeration.
Its me, im back (i never left)
So a loooong while back, i was wondering "wow man, media is just oozing with romance, ain't it" and that made me think of all the media that isn’t oozing with romance. And i decided that someone should make a list of all the aspec rep in a handy resource for the aros and the aces. Since the orientation gets ignored soo often.
And now that i finally got the time, i made the list!
Its an in progress, non exhaustive list. Comments are on for suggestions/additions/corrections. The kind reddit community has already been suggesting soo many things i didnt know had rep. Feel free to use the resource AND please pass it on to whoever might need it.
Representation is important and every community deserves to have it 🏳️‍🌈
Theres so much japanese media here its crazy though

The real thing with ADHD is not "I forgot", but that forgetting is this ongoing process. I remembered! And then I forgot.
At ten this (hypothetical) morning I remembered that I have a meeting at six. And then from 11 through 3 I worked on other stuff and had zero thoughts about that meeting. Maybe even thought about what I was gonna do with my evening at home. Got attached to the idea of taking the time to make a good dinner, maybe play some video games.
And then at three I said, "Oh! Fuck!" and remembered again, hopefully long enough to set an alarm. And then I went to the bathroom and remembered that I need to clean the counter and spent twenty minutes cleaning the bathroom and went to get a snack and then at five I said, "OH! FUCK!" and had to scramble to dress like a real adult and get out the door.
It isn't one clean forgetting. It's a constant process of forgetting and then, with an exhausting adrenaline spike, remembering. And then forgetting. Baby, I can forget the same thing more times in a day than you ever forgot your parents' anniversary.

The air in my heaven smelled of wet grass and soil, the smell after the rain. It was a smell that I always loved on Earth. It smelled like nature, like being in the middle of a forest.
I imagined that’s how Earth smelled like in that moment, as I followed my brother.

I didn’t know I wouldn’t see him again.
I didn’t know that I wouldn’t hug him again.
I didn’t know, as I wrestled out of his grasp, that I should have stayed longer. I should have held him longer.
I should have done a lot of things. I didn’t know.
I couldn’t have known.

There’s so much good I’m making happen in my life but I think there’s a small part of me that will always feel like something is missing without young royals 🥺 it really changed me for the better 💜

Hi, I may have followed through and written a dead!Erik POV fic. This one follows the show entirely. 
It’s the perfect excuse to rewatch the whole show, but from a new perspective.
I’ll be updating quickly (she said forebodingly) since it’s pretty much all written already.
Happy YR anniversary!

The sentences "Asexuals can still have sex" and "Aromantics can still date" need to go up on the high shelf for everyone except aces and aros talking about their own experiences. From now on, everyone else has to use the revolutionary new phrase "Asexuals and aromantics can do whatever the fuck they want forever."

Happy pride month!! 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️ Sorry about not posting for so long! Been dealing with just general health and mental health stuff, but I really didn’t want to miss doing my annual toothless pride posts so here it is :)
Might not be posting as frequently as I used to here but there’ll probably be some scattered art here and there when I feel like making some
The flags in order from top to bottom: Rainbow, Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Pansexual, Trans, Non Binary, Asexual, Aromantic, Genderfluid
I’ve also added all of these to my redbubble as prints and such, you can find them in the toothless pride collection there :)
