AIDS QUILT SERIES | VIEW THE QUILT

one of the posts on this website that haunts me is the one that claims neurotypicals instinctively know to read faster by reading the first and last paragraphs of an article and then skimming it if confused. I can't even begin to understand how someone would form such a bizarre belief.

hello! last week we had our build a link poll, and by popular demand we're doing another

edit 29/4: main poll's finished! there's a subpoll still active but otherwise we're done for now!

man can I just say how adorable Wolf's interaction with Delia in the wedding scene is? When she's explaining her situation he gives her the most understanding looks and it's because they both effectively had the same cause of death. Delia turned her mourning of Charles into part of her performance art, and died from being scammed with asps who were NOT defanged. Wolf wanted to deliver the most authentic performance possible and died from presumably a negligent armorer who didn't bother to check if the grenade was live or not before shooting. both of them were quite literally killed by their art (not by their own faults to be fair but from someone else's irresponsibility). and it's kind of lovely Delia got such a sympathetic escort back to the netherworld who knows her situation firsthand probably better than anyone else

it's weirdly wholesome and empathetic even as their situations were both played for morbid laughs, and if Delia didn't have eyes only for Charles (what's left of him) and Wolf wasn't in a committed relationship with Janet I'd even say I could have seen things going somewhere between them

some of the gayest things i did w my girl besties as a kid that haunt me daily even though i'm almost 25

laying on the hot cement of the playground watching the clouds, talking about which boys we'd date in class, and i look over at her and notice how the sun is turning her black hair slightly red in the sun and sigh and say "i wish i were a boy, 'cause then i'd date you"

made a new best friend a little after her who was a year younger than me and i wanted to live inside her skin, a little bit, and went over to her house constantly. i drew her silly art, those weird emo blobs from the mid aughts, and she hung it up on her door. we joked about being married a lot. when i had to move away across the country, one night i was staring up at the moon while listening to a love song and started sobbing wondering if she was also looking at the moon. i never texted her again.

when i was 12 i fell in love with a girl for the first time i knew about. i had just gotten over being weirded out by gay people & when the kids in class started whispering about us being dykes, my teacher called home about it. i cried my eyes out in a red pickup truck with my mom as i told her i was in love with her, but it was fine because she was straight. i was drinking a red slushie.

once with that same girl, we went on a field trip to a nearby science museum. it was within walking distance and she held my hand the whole way, even though we were too old for it. at some point i started swinging her hand and knocking into her and laughing and eventually she just picked me up, put me on her back, and carried me the rest of the way while we laughed. at the museum, she kept finding me and holding my hand again. i went home that night, so giddy, and just kept thinking about her hand in mine and didn't even care about what the rest of the kids were whispering

in february, before that, she'd asked me which girl i had a crush on in class because i'd posted about it on tumblr. it took me a half hour to finally tell her it was her, blushing to my ears as we walked around the perimeter of the playground (we were at a small private school with less than 100 students, so even the middle schoolers got to use the playground), refusing to look at her. she told me she didn't feel like that, but i was still her best friend and she wasn't mad at me or weirded out. if one of us were boys, she said, maybe it would've worked out. her mom moved her back to california at the end of the school year. i never saw her again and she wasn't allowed to talk to me. she messaged me once, years later on here, to tell me i was pretty in a prom dress i'd tried on. she blocked me later.

i wrote down a story about her, a year later, for 8th grade english class. in it, i imagined that she'd never left, and that she'd kissed me while we laid in the grass, mixing up my stories and my life. my teacher looked at me with such a soft sadness and told me it was very beautifully written. she wanted me to submit it to a contest. it won.

I'm a big promoter of making what you want to see, I know everyone isn't "naturally gifted", but you can build skill with study and practice.

You wanna see a fic for something niche? Write it! You wanna see a yandere fic for this one character who doesn't have yandere? Write it! You wanna see something cute and fluffy? Write it!

I know that having to write what you want to read can suck, but if you stick with it long enough, you'll start to see other people come out of the woodwork too and I think that's the best part.

exactly!!! i think fandom in it's best form is just kinda one big group project where everyone contributes something to the collective conversation, so it's very counter-intuitive to try and pick on the people who are doing their best to make more of the things they love when you yourself are simply. not. i get that not everyone has time to write and draw for pleasure, but if you're going to bitch about what other people do contribute, you really have to be adding something yourself. if you think there are too many dead dove fics, block the tags/authors and write some fluff. absolutely curate your own experience, but don't try to curate everyone's unless you want fan-spaces to die out entirely.

We're all just holding on by a thread until our Spotify Wrapped drops, huh?

Thank you for the tags @ironheartwriter @carlos-in-glasses and @heartstringsduet you're all cute and I love you

Have another seven sentences from the 2nd person Carlos fic that will be posting in about two weeks :)

As sudden as a clap of thunder, he snaps, “What about taking me to the bathroom? This isn’t a joke, Carlos, okay?”

Your name, spoken in his resonant voice, is so often the most beautiful cadence your ears can imagine. When he grumbles it first thing in the morning before he’s completely awake – Carlos, turn the damn alarm off – when he laughs it, bright and joyful, because you’re trying to convince him to try pickled beets again – Carlos, they’re disgusting! – when he whimpers it while you have his trembling body pinned beneath yours – Carlos, please, harder – when he sighs it and his breath paints warm patterns on your cheek because his forehead is pressed to yours – Carlos, I love you.

Bitten in anger, your name is nails on a chalkboard and the discomfort of it skips up your spine. You didn’t mean to make him angry. You wanted him to smile, you always just want him to smile.
