so what?? i can live with this

Tell me about it, whose workday finishes at 3:30 and between having to ride 15-20 minutes to get back home and buy anything on the way in case it's needed, I arrive at around 4:30. And of course, the rest of the day goes by in a blur.

I hate how 3 pm is so close to 2 pm so there's an illusion that there's still time left in the day to do things but in reality 3 pm is also close to 4 pm and if it's close to 4 pm you might as well just wait till tomorrow. <- can't argue against this by the way.

Me when I remember something I said ages ago that was wrong or my values no longer align with

[phantom-of-the-501st]

Remember that this is not the proof that they love each other

That was a last-ditch attempt from Crowley to get Aziraphale to stay

This is the proof that they love each other

Their love wasn't just made real because they kissed

It always existed

I Saw the TV Glow is such a uniquely, devastatingly queer story. Two queer kids trapped in suburbia. Both of them sensing something isn’t quite right with their lives. Both of them knowing that wrongness could kill them. One of them getting out, trying on new names, new places, new ways of being. Trying to claw her way to fully understanding herself, trying to grasp the true reality of her existence. Succeeding. Going back to help the other, to try so desperately to rescue an old friend, to show the path forward. Being called crazy. Because, to someone who hasn’t gotten out, even trying seems crazy. Feels crazy. Looks, on the surface, like dying.

And to have that other queer kid be so terrified of the internal revolution that is accepting himself that he inadvertently stays buried. Stays in a situation that will suffocate him. Choke the life out of him. Choke the joy out of him. Have him so terrified of possibly being crazy that he, instead, lives with a repression so extreme, it quite literally is killing him. And still, still, he apologizes for it. Apologizes over and over and over, to people who don’t see him. Who never have. Who never will. Because it’s better than being crazy. Because it’s safer than digging his way out. Killing the image everyone sees to rise again as something free and true and authentic. My god. My god, this movie. It shattered me.

i'm curious how many people also don't experience cramps as their main symptom, because back pain is the worst for me by far it's usually how i can tell my period is coming up too

[stars-and-branches]

Chronic pain pisses me off cause I'm not even incapacitated for like a cool or badass reason instead my body is throwing the world's biggest temper tantrum because it's raining outside

But if your favorite character isn't on the floor panting and dying and in horrible pain in a terrible situation then what's even the point

Okay, here’s the thing. AO3 filters are great and I love them so much. But. They’re not always there, depending on how you’re looking for fic. See, when I first started using AO3, I was using the search. The search has so many options, so many things you can put in, but there’s no exclude option there. Your list of results only has the Edit your Search button, not a Filters button or sidebar. And for rating, you can only choose one. I wanted to see a whole bunch of fics about a particular character, and I could either adjust my search by rating as desired, or I could pull the whole shebang and self filter. That did work, but I definitely wanted brain bleach regularly.

I don’t remember how I stumbled into the tag view, but it was a life-changer. Suddenly I could filter OUT specific things. It’s made my AO3 experience so much better. But it’s not intuitive, at least not for everyone. So to everyone who’s frustrated because you’re not seeing these filters people are talking about? Don’t use the search. Or rather, don’t stop there. I don’t know if there’s an easy way to get directly to a particular tag like a character or fandom via the Browse -> Tags, but what I do is search for the particular character I want to read about and then click on the tag for that character from the first story in the list of results. Bam. You’re now on the tag view, or whatever it’s called, and if you’re on mobile there’s a Filters button at the top, and if you’re on desktop there’s a sidebar of glorious, wonderful include/exclude options.

And now you can filter out the ratings you don’t want to see. And the ships. And the characters. And many other things that annoy you or you’re just not interested in. I’m pretty sure you can actually even filter out things that aren’t official tags; if there’s a unique tag on a story and you HATE that story and never want to see it again, if you type it in the “Other tags to exclude” box, it won’t show up there but you can hit filter and it works.

But it does.

Being chronically ill is like

“It’s fine”

“It’s fine”

“It’s fine”

*complete mental breakdown because you can’t do this anymore*

“It’s fine”
