#I'm still into now

I think it's also because there is this belief that as you get older, you stop having fun, and some activities become "beneath" you.

I'm 30 (not quite old), but I remember when I was 18 and looking at 30 years old thinking whoa these people have it all figured out they're so adult. But like... I call my mom because I don't know how to remove stains off my clothes sometimes. I call my dad because I have insurance questions and no one taught me how this shit works. I work a job, make money, rent a place, have a cat, but then I go home and I write fanfiction, or I go roller skating, or read trashy romances, decide to make a chocolate cake and that's all I'll be eating for dinner.

Let me stress how unadult adults are. We're just kids with more life experience.

Growing up doesn't mean you abandon all the fun things, it just means you have some boring paperwork to take care of and if you stop working you're kind of fucked (Yeah it's not great).

I'm an adult doing and adult job, but every day before I go to work I have to put on my "adult" costume and I pretend my way through work.

The whole time, I'm thinking about dead gay wizards and my cat, the next time I'm going to see my best friend and the next show I'm going to watch, whether we should eat tacos or ice cream, and if we should do something stupid on the weekend.

You don't grow up, you just grow old. If you're into fanfic at 13, it's not gonna disappear. You'll just become better at it. AND EVEN IF YOU DON'T, I can't stress how relaxing it is to just do a hobby you like knowing your boss/family isn't going to judge it. (WHICH IS ALSO WHY negative comments aren't welcome. Beside literally all the other reasons we've all read a thousand times, we're just out here playing with our blorblos to relax from being stressed out from the real world. Sometimes we don't need our hobbies to be perfect. We just wanna do the thing, and relax.)

I just saw someone say AO3 is “gay teens writing gay shit” and I have no idea how to tell you that most of the writers you love so much are adults.

Spent a ridiculous amount of time last night obsessively editing my hand written zines in Photoshop to take away any tiny blemishes so they were definitely readable.

Whatever. Understand or don't.

only you.

If you've ever told a person who's had to be bedbound for a period of time that you wish you could "just stay in bed", DO IT.

Stay in bed. For days. But don't get up if someone needs you to, or you get bored, or you get antsy. Don't do anything other than rest. Just lie in your bed, whether you need to get stuff done around the house or socialize or anything else "productive". You'll have to cancel on people, you'll disappoint them, they won't understand.

And if you're thinking, "well, i CAN'T just be in bed. There's stuff that has to be done - I have plans", maybe ask yourself why you assumed a disabled person doesn't have plans or things to do or desires.

how I slept last night knowing that s3 of iwtv is secured, rockstar lestat is happening, akasha is on her way, loustat are endgame, ghost!claudia is a possibility, sam reid is not allowed to cut his hair short for a couple more years, daniel is now a vampire and the devil's minion is real:

bring back zooterkins, the best 17th-century swear word

I don't normally do Just Characters Swearing, but. ...this kind of wrote itself and then wouldn't leave my head. it comes from both a piece of character-writing advice that has always stuck with me, and also my conviction that Leona is 1000% funnier as a character if his dialogue has to stay G-rated. let Kalim say fuck, but don't let Leona say bastard.

(I'm sorry)

My comic to @recovery-zine <3 ❤

I drew it two years ago and my style has changed a little but I'm still really proud of this piece, I'm happy I can finally show it ❤!

every time a new SA allegation of a favored celeb arises, i'm reminded of the absolutely soul-crushing experience of the depp/heard trial in which i learned that dozens of ppl i loved + respected + trusted were also willing to engage in the basest form of misogyny if the woman Seemed Crazy Enough. there was a horrifying 2ish weeks on this website + much longer irl where i genuinely felt unsafe voicing my discomfort as i relived something eerily reminiscent of the aftermath of my own assaults playing out on screen, commented on by true crime youtubers like it was a red sox game.

it happens time + time again with every new allegation + it's truly the most agonizing + exhausting part of being a survivor. i am begging you all to consider that survivors are watching you engage with this stuff like theater + it erodes our trust in all of you + compounds our grief.

It's still surprising to see people say that when they see the upcoming strike post I made that this is the first time they're hearing about it, especially because I've seen several posts now talking about the same strike.

That being said: regardless of what kind of blog you are, please spread the news about the genocide, the strikes, boycotts, etc.

Even if you are a small blog, spreading word allows for more people to know what's going on and also do their part in protests and strikes, and maybe even the right people will be able to do more than what you're able to do.

And reminder: there is an upcoming strike on February 18th-25th. Prepare accordingly, protest, boycott, call your reps, and spread the word so more people are aware.
