#I hope I don’t disappoint anyone

[fangswbenefits]

Okay I need to talk about this:

I wasn’t considering making sweet girl a virgin. But after getting some asks about people in their 20’s feeling like they are less than others because they are still inexperienced, it made me decide to go ahead and do this.

I think it’s important to talk about this. To normalise people with no sexual experience that are already into their adulthood. It’s nothing to be ashamed of. I know sexual experience is very sexy in fanfiction, but so is learning, and the prospect of trusting someone enough to let them be your first. To guide you through your insecurities and doubts. To be there when no one else was.

That can be so cathartic.

Hopefully, I can write it in a way that feels realistic and respectful, while delivering a good story in the process 🩷

So…here’s one reason why I’m continuing to be optimistic about the Tech situation. Yeah, there’s the fact that Tech coming back around eventually is what makes the most sense to me for a variety of reasons, but another reason alongside everything else? I refuse to be depressed about this.

The reality is that this isn’t a situation we can control. That leaves me with a choice about the current situation; I can decide the current situation is permanent (something which seems unreasonable to me given how easily recontextualized everything is) and spiral about it, drop it, or I can poke at the text and theorize about how the situation can get better. And since I don’t feel like spiraling and my brain won’t let me just drop it, option three is what I’m going with.

Tech means a lot to me, and, despite the fact that I remain highly critical of the finale in the context of there not being anything afterwards, The Bad Batch generally does as well. So let’s say I’m wrong, because I very well might be. Let’s say that there are not only no plans to follow up on any of this, but that no one ever picks up the threads left behind, and no one ever grabs the grade A catnip that bringing Tech back would be. At least I’ll have had fun theorizing in the meantime, and will come out the other side with a bunch of ideas on how to finish things off myself.

😇🤭 (🕒 -> 🕜) - rip i’m not telling you about this one until it’s posted but it IS complete aside from being ao3 formatted and the eight billion edits i inevitably do right before full-sending it

☁️💧 - cloud petey fic, which exists mostly as an embarrassingly large tag on a different blog and is condensing into a narrative about as well as water at 30° N/S. the time loop fic also falls under this description

good morning

[doyouknowhowtowaltz]

What’s the barrier for the psychological horror tag, do we think? I’m trying to decide if the next chapter of unworthy warrants it, but I don’t want to oversell it.

[tvrningout-a]

a lil note about muses on here!! i’m going to reduce the amount of muses on my roster, removing characters i rarely use. this may include muses that we write together, but please don’t worry!! i’ll still write these muses with my partners who currently have dynamics with them; they will just no longer be available to the general public and will not be listed on my roster.

i’ll be honest and let y’all know that my focus has drifted away from kny a great deal, and that will be reflected when i edit my roster. most kny muses will be moved to the tertiary list, removed, or reworked for another fandom. i apologize bc i know this will be disappointing for some of you, but i need to make some changes so this blog feels neater and more accurately reflects where my interest lies. i don’t think this comes as a surprise tbh? but still i know it’s not what some people want to hear.

all that said, i do understand if you want to break mutuals — no hard feelings whatsoever!! but i hope we can figure out new dynamics and continue having fun smushing our dorks together if you stick around 💜

I am finding that the more I learn about and understand and even like myself, the less palatable I become.

It’s very hard. To know what to do.

I am making sense to myself for the first time in years. I am proud of who I am finding out I am. I am relieved to be making peace and headway. But even when I find relief in acceptance of something I was ashamed of before, I cannot un-hide it from the world. It was buried for a reason.

I am not afraid of the other parts of me, or ashamed of them. I’m glad they’re with me. I am not ashamed of being them, but I am afraid of what other people will think and do if they know. I cannot make them feel the way I do.

I like the parts of me I am discovering and making peace with, healing.

But they were broken for a reason.

The more of them I fix and find, the less of myself I can share with anyone.

It’s hard.

To be more okay and more awake. To dig up parts you buried. And then brick them up in the walls.

I tried to roll 10x in the Regular Departure Warp gacha after gaining 10 tickets for reaching Level 35 and while I don’t have anyone new except for Tingyun's E1, I got this sweet card instead!

I wonder who that man is in the card btw? He looks hot 😳

[delighted-mirage]

Not to derail how absolutely abhorrent, bland, and full of military ass kissing shit biden’s literal speeches are, but I wanted to also take the time on the post to point out how shitty Israel is!

here is an article about how israel treats the actual Holocaust survivors it took in. yk. the whole reason israel was supposed to have been created in the first place. they've been withholding these peoples' benefits and many live under the poverty line. all holocaust survivors are going to be dead by 2025. it's a huge disgrace.

how israel changed the historic names of palestine's cities to sound more "hebrew" and therefore jewish. to make it sound like they were "reclaiming" the land. it started when "israel" was first established. everything in "israel" should be in arabic, not hebrew. bc time passed. and a whole civilization was literally already there when they got there. so most names in "israel" are arabic that looks more english/hebrew. it’s erasure of the literal history here.

some more proof I have found of how i*rael treats holocaust survivors if anyone wanted further proof of how deeply fucked up this state is. these are the posts/articles that genuinely broke any semblance israel had any worth even within itself, and ofc the focus should be on palestinians but in case anyone needed that final peg of colonialism worth knocked out like I did. there are Zero redeeming qualities.

and last but never the least and in fact the most important, links to help palestine.

first is arab.org, my personal favorite, that uses the click money from an ad to fund donations to palestine. great way to help if you can’t donate now! anything always helps, even just spreading posts is doing something great.

second is a list of companies to boycott that helps me out a lot when I’m shopping. it even has alternatives, the reasons not to buy the product, and a very handy search function. it is consistently updating!

third is an Amazing list by @sulfurcosmos of ways you can help Palestine. includes how to write letters of protest, calls to make, donation organizations, and is regularly updated.

free palestine. from the river to the sea palestine will be free. 🇵🇸🍉🇵🇸

The Most Progressive President In History, on the genocide of Palestinians: "They're animals. They're animals. [...] They're a brutal, ugly, inhumane people, and they have to be eliminated."

i hate being negative but does anyone else read books that are wildly popular & you’re like ‘….i must be reading a different version bc… why are people raving over this’

i went to the hybe daydream believers exhibition in kuala lumpur & here are my thoughts (long story short: it is not worth it)

for some context, this is how the organisers described the event:

The exhibition is showcasing the portraits of 54 artists from 7 groups, along with their journey towards realizing their dreams. Fans will have the opportunity to delve into the backstage stories of BTS, SEVENTEEN, TOMORROW X TOGETHER, ENHYPEN, LE SSERAFIM, fromis_9, and &TEAM.

the exhibition mainly features framed headshots of these idols (many of which you cannot take photos of btw). yes you see their portraits (which literally means photos of them) but you don’t really get to experience the other part of “delving into their backstage stories”.

the exhibition in itself felt extremely underwhelming. it would be worth it if you were allowed to take photos but because you can’t in 4/7 exhibits, it just feels like a waste. i don’t really feel the need to just look at these idols’ face if i wasn’t able to take any photos of them.

if you are happy paying $46 to see pretty photos of your favourite idols then this exhibition would be for you. but for a casual fan like me who only went for seventeen and aren’t really interested in the other groups and was looking forward to more than just seeing their faces, i don’t think it’s worth your money and time.
