i think taking a break from writing smut for like almost a year has been rly refreshing bc i think it made me stop questioning if my writing is interesting without sex and just write it how i want. and then tbh a part of me has realized i like writing without the sex half the time. it’s nice. it’s fun to explore intimacy in as many non sexual ways as you can

The only problem with getting a girlfriend (besides the Doubt™) is the fact that as least 75% of my music is now a billion times less relatable

like. Yeah it’s still good. But music is just so much better when I can connect to it imo

Elijah is just full vampire nazi atp because wdym ‘protecting Roman’ is enough of a reason to kill Hayley and Hope, one of which is an ACTUAL child by the way (unlike Roman) 🧍 He’s literally saying they can just die. He does not give a single fuck about those dog whistles, much less Greta murdering a child and her mother. All because Antoinette is afraid Roman will get something he deserves for trying to help kill someone’s daughter. Roman is by all intents and purposes (and rules of the TVDU universe) a grown ass man/vampire like give me a fucking break man

Ok so I became an adult and suddenly men are attractive. I thought it was just that one guy but now it’s like three. Like yeah you’re pretty and muscley and nice I’d go in a date if you asked.

I mean what.

I’m in this post and I don’t like it

i am. so sorry if i have ever used the phrase “i have an au where—” and led you to believe that there is an actual fic out there for you to read rather than, at best, a post where i explain the concept, and at worst it is simply something that lives in my brain

writing advice for characters with a missing eye: dear God does losing an eyes function fuck up your neck. Ever since mine crapped out I've been slowly and unconsciously shifting towards holding my head at an angle to put the good eye closer to the center. and human necks. are not meant to accommodate that sorta thing.

It’s crazy and fucked up that being yourself is actually the solution.

Hi @spurgie-cousin, thank you for what you wrote. You sent this message to me literal months ago (I think), and I just. Did not respond or read the message. For ages. But now my life has calmed down a bit, and I felt emotionally ready to see what you had responded with, and I really appreciate your care ❤️❤️❤️

I’m not sure what I’m going to do, but it’s wonderful knowing that people like you will be out there when I try to find community with others. And I hope that others will read what you wrote, and know that there is community out there for them too.

Things are always going to be tough, and terrifying and depressing and negative sometimes, but there are a also lot of good things and people out there. You can find a lot of good if you keep on looking for it. I’m going to keep on looking it, and someday I’m going to find myself with a community I can thrive in.

Thank you for the reminder.

This is such a good, succinct way of describing the illusion of choice many fundamentalist women and men have when it comes to life paths.

i feel strongly about this

I was rambling on the issue of museums and human remains and how certain populations are more likely to have their bodies put on display to be gawked at and then went "well I guess the Pompeii casts were of Europeans. there are bones in there right?" and Googled it to make sure, at which point I confirmed that yes there are bones in there, but more interestingly DNA testing revealed that a cast of an adult holding a child everyone assumed was a mother and child were, in fact, a man and a kid entirely unrelated to him. Honestly that's more moving to me. Maybe they were connected in a way other than blood, but maybe a stranger saw a child when the world was ending and thought the one thing he could do was hold them.
