once again i have basket of compliments that you will listen to without feeling overwhelmed or under selling yourself
idk why i have this hunch that while you're normally a confident bean but whenever someone compliments you you're just like pen.exe has stopped working i need a table to hide under
1) sausaude (also the spellings of these are definitely gonna be wrong) -
the entirety of it just i was screaming on the inside. it's SO GOOD.
IT'S SO GOOD THAT I WANT TO DO A DANDWAT PRANAM FOR IT, don't worry I'm not gonna do it
also if you're worried that the break you took made your writing weak or something. don't. that was a masterpiece you wrote.
but esp the end parts like when sirius finally spoke. and just i for .2 seconds wanted them to reconcile cause they have such a history among them and they're the last ones standing BUT then i remembered it's because of that fucking history they can't cause Remus knew padfoot. knew James. knew their bond. and then this happened so no remus will never get padfoot again and they will live on like shattered glass with a piece missing (James) so they can never fix it. they burned too bright and their sun was taken away and now they're just planets with no sun left to orbit
2) notes app drabbles, the entire series like i just— can't tell you how many times i randomly go back to it to read it in middle of night, whenever i want the oomf and saltiness and it's to a point that i now have lines memorised. and boy didn't that hurt? shouldn't he be used to betrayal from that corner in room hits like a gold mine at 3am idk what to say and also the one where harry says (politely) stfu mrs Weasley.
3) shovel talk!!!! i love it so so so much cause it's the quiet arrogance that does it for me. I'm such a sucker for that. and lily going from confidence to pro max to oh I'm talking sirius back and actually feeling that talk which si retroactively hilarious.
4) I FALL TO PIECES WHEN I'M WITH YOU
so we all are all fucking emotional whores here and definitely not prudes so you know that i have definitely read some serious explicit shit with the straightest face ever.
idk what it is about that fic BUT ISTG I BLUSH LIKE A TEENAGE GIRL WHENEVER I'M READING IT AND YOU SAID IT WAS YOUR FIRST TIME WRITING MATURE/EXPLICIT
bhai i really really could not tell that not kidding comes in top 5 best explicit work I've ever read . it's that good for me.
5 ) i can't just lost all of them na, but it's true like i love little tiny things in all of them that i try to type we'll be here for 375849 hours—the descriptions of tattoos/ sirius's lip ring (which knowing about yours is ehfjfjfjn)/ harry liking smell of cigarette/ RANI/ labor of love and that vivid scene of just a kid on counter mashing potatoes while you add masalas.
you invoke imagination like no other.
FOUNDATIONS OF DEACAY I'm so so looking forward to that cause it's intresting so see what harry will do next
ash you— i— i’m so??? incoherent!??
(stop it stop calling me out, i’ve had people physically restrain me while giving me a compliment because i break out in literal hives and even reading this kept making me hide behind my hands and curl my toes because!!!!)
also!!!! the fact that ur fav fics (saudade, shovel talk, fall to pieces) r literally the ones closest to my heart is so—we’re on the same wavelength fr.
ur way too sweet to be real, ash. i don���t even know what to do w myself rn. pen.exe really has stopped working. needs a reboot.
Tell me what you love about my writing
#it took me like. 2 days to figure out how to reply to this#bc i am OVERWHELMED#also overheated#ur so!!!!!!! good!!!!!!!#idk what i did to deserve it but thank u thank u#and the fact that u have!!! lines!!! memorised omg#that line is literally one of my favs too 😭😭😭#(harry’s love for cigs is also projection sksksks)#but i just.#very Speechless.#ppb#pen’s asks

i got my isbn today for the book. 8 months to go. my mom and i were talking about what the next steps are. i was eating trail mix, standing on one foot, phone tucked into my ear.
"yeah," i said. "the problem is that tumblr as a market is like, not something that can be studied." there's this weird wave of nostalgia and affection for this place that came up over me: how lovely we avoid consumerism. okay, it sucks as a creator. but also? keep stickin' it to 'em.
my mother made the sound at the back of her throat that i also make, the one that means i've got an idea. "you should figure out some kind of reward for presale amounts. maybe you give out poems or a mug or a signed book or something. would your followers like that?" my mother is sweet, and kind, and i have no idea how to explain on this website you can buy someone crabs.
i put more m&ms down the hatch. i had to speak through peanuts and almonds. "if it passes 25 thousand i will print the book out in its entirety and eat it live on camera."
"oh god. no, you don't have to do that." she was anguished. "just tell them that you'd love them to read it, and that they've inspired you to write. you got started on that site, and they helped you keep going. raquel, you love these people. the community? you talk all the time about the other writers and artists and whatever else. tell them that you're hoping for their support, they'll come through."
"no," i assured her. i discovered i had dropped an m&m, but an ant had already found it, so it belonged to him now. i will let his little life have a surprise blue treasure in it, too. "i'm gonna fuckin' eat the book."
#writeblr#:)#the small secret love i have for y'all. the way i am filled with gratitude.#for the nosebleed club. for stephen particularly.#for every artist i've ever been in contact with and collaborated with.#for every person who has commented on my work and passed it along or fallen in love with it#for every silent 'just hitting like' follower and for every person who sends me dms and for each of you#i know i suck at replying bc i have anxiety. but like. you keep being here. so i keep writing.#i legit wouldn't be here without you.#thank you sophie thank you katie thank you carolyn thank you stephanie thank you jess#thank you if you're reading this#i got too overwhelmed with love and have to stop writing this FAR too early into the thank yous bc im about to cry with love

ultimately i think my insistence on aro positivity honestly is as much a political stance as a personal one.
when i say aro positivity is crucial and that i dislike doomer-ist posts that express sentiments like 'I hate being aro so much I wish I was dead instead’ it's not because I don’t think there can and should be a space for negativity and acknowledging self-hate, or the many ways being aromantic can really suck sometimes. i find that to be very important!
that being said. there is smth here about how self-hate posts are sometimes just arophobia that we inflict on ourselves. and when we put that out into the ether it (intentionally or not) can become arophobia that we inflict on other members of the community. i think there absolutely needs to be a place for negativity and the expression of anger and frustration and self loathing even - these are all good things to talk about because these are things that we experience. that being said, it can also be genuinely upsetting and triggering to people to have what is essentially arophobia shown to them and then have that be validated by other aspec people. your personal thoughts can affect your wider community on a level you may not anticipate. and i understand it i truly do! it took me so long to be able to recover from accepting being aroace - it threw my entire world off kilter and made me question everything about my place in the world.
but my insistence on aro joy and positivity is because ultimately i do believe that building is at the core essence of it all. that ultimately discussions and the purpose of community should be about construction, not destruction. and this is both a personal and a political stance. talking about how much you hate yourself and cultivating online discussions/spaces where negativity about aspec identity is the main and only theme is destructive - if that’s where we let the conversation end. these thoughts can and should be used as a vehicle to look for a path forward!
joy and positivity create a space where the focus can become on forging a path forward, on construction, on community building instead of tearing ourselves and others down with negative thoughts. it’s not productive or healthy when it stops at a place of negativity - it becomes actively destructive to the essence of community.
and i do think that this is especially poignant considering the fact that being any kind of queer, but especially aromantic (and/or asexual) means forging a path for yourself and making your own happiness where there is no obvious way forward. our communities exist mostly online (right now, anyway), there is little recognition of our existence in the real world, the effects of amatonormativity are both pervasive and actively dehumanising, and there are legal, economic and social structures in place actively making our lives more difficult. yes that all sucks! it’s good to acknowledge that. we need to in order to change it. but more importantly, that’s not the end. we are still here and our happiness, our future is for us to determine. even if we can’t change the laws or society, loving yourself and understanding aromanticism as a political identity (as well as personal), as a radical worldview, and as a protest against amatonormativity is essential for both community and personal well being. the personal is political.
tldr. i guess my point is that as a community, we should focus on building, improving, and nurturing ourselves and each other (construction) as opposed to destruction. we should recognise aromanticism and asexuality as political identities as well as personal ones and rely on community and self-love in the absence of anything else as a form of protest and political power. destruction (the recognition of everything that is wrong) is essential as a starting point - but where do we go from there? we rebuild.
#aromantic#aro positivity#aspec#aroace#aro#aromantic joy#arospec#when i saw its important to 'love' yourself - pls understand i am in no way trying to exclude loveless aros from this#that was just the easiest way to express what i meant! when i say 'love' i mean positivity/respect/happiness. etc. i just used that word bc#it works for ME which is why i said it. but feel free to replace it with whatever works for you! <2#also sorry if not everything im saying makes total sense i tried my best#this is something ive been thinking about for a while and have been struggling to articulate#i maybe should have read some theory for this abt community building but im too tired + overwhelmed w school reading right now so sorry.#if anyone has additions on that front though please do add them#also ngl im kinda scared to post this. i hope i explained what i mean well enough. like i get wanting to vent and express self hate BUT.#there is nuance to this and it is not unilaterally healthy i think. also i dont see any other online community fostering the normalisation#of selfhate the way the aspec one does! which makes me feel weird abt it especially.#anyway. this is basically my personal philosophy towards aromanticism#mossy posts#⚙️

“Arthur can totally dress himself he’s just spoiled” why are you giving him that much credit
#no but seriously#this bitch has every symptom#being able to consistently dress independently would genuinely be a miricle at this point#he has constant meltdowns easily manipulated anger issues#admits that Merlin is his ONE AND ONLY FREIND#so that’s definitely a social deficit if I’ve ever seen one#he’s dumb as a tone of bricks and I can say that bc I am also#and noble insest WAS THE NORM.#you wanna know why king George lost amercia?#HIS BRAIN WAS FUCKED UP. HIS GENES WERE FUXKED UP#but like#anyways#key word constantly dressings himself#bc every disabled person will tell you that abilities are such a spectrum#back when I couldn’t dress myself it fluxuated wether I could or couldn’t and to what degree until i eventually couldn’t do it at all#also arthur can technically do it#but rare times and even when he does it’s shit#sometimes doing a task is technically possible but it takes 25 years off your life#bc of stress and just. god it’s so complicated and overwhelming#and even if you DO it it’s not even worth it#bc it’s shit#I will die on this hill btw#from my own little galaxy world#merlin#bbc merlin#merlin bbc

There's something about like. A certain genre of posts / Online Opinions about insecurity/depression/misery/complaints that are so unhelpful that they wrap right around to being straight up hilarious. and it's the ones that are more or less written to the tone of "Feeling bad? That's gross!" Like, just so you know, don't voice your insecurities/ have low self esteem, because that's offputting! You're gross and weird. Don't be insecure about that, though. That would be stupid if you felt insecure about people disliking you for being insecure. Not attractive. You should be thinking about being as attractive as possible. You shouldn't make comments about suicide, even if you're suicidal! Keep those thoughts entirely to yourself. Make sure nobody around you knows you're thinking about this. It would Make Them Uncomfortable. It's better to keep these thoughts in your head where they can fester. Don't post OR talk to friends with complaints about you feeling miserable or depressed. Tbh people who are sad/upset a lot? Kinda a red flag! You are probably miserable because you're a bad person and you've brought this on yourself. If you don't have friends, it's because you're awful to be around. Easy! Solved the problem for you. And no, there is no nuance to this, got it? So, make sure to feel bad about feeling bad, but don't feel bad about it, because, well, that's just gross. And annoying! You might've wanted your brain rotted thoughts to be Peer Reviewed, you might have just needed to vent- you might've been hoping for some comfort, to get things off your chest. Well, don't! Don't talk about thoughts or feelings that are negative with your friends, you'd be burdening them and that's only meant for THERAPY. #SponsoredbyBetterHelp #MentalHealth like, DAMN. that's so helpful. you're so good at helping. I um really liked the part where these are all hard and fast rules that encourage keeping feelings bottled up and keeping your friends at arm's length. That's really funny of you.
#I FEEL LIKE COMPLAINING RN in the context of this alternate universe these posts live in. that makes me evil rn. I may not even keep#the post up. but I Needed to complain about these bc I hate seeing them#really funny and good because it very much feeds into that part of the brain where you go wait am I stupid? am I horrible? am I annoying?#before you express any kind of personal feelings. from feeling insecure alll the way down the spectrum to feeling like your life is over#before anyone How Dare You Say We Piss On The Poor-s at me YES there is a nuanced version of this#which is. you can make someone feel like shit (A Fellow Sufferer Of The Mental Eelnesses) by using them as your dumping ground#in excess and usually with no regard for how they feel and without Regular conversations inbetween#and in a one-sided way where they can't do the same and complain with you as a sounding board in return#don't tell new friends you hardly know abt THE MOST personal shit you can possibly think of. there are steps being skipped here#right? we know this. we all know it. setting a boundary is a thing. overwhelming a person is a thing#on the other hand there is such a thing as a friend who IS okay to listen and wants to help. and friends who relate.#maybe talking abt personal stuff makes ppl feel closer sometimes. just a thought! maybe not everything is Emotional Labor. maybe just maybe#but like come on. these are almost intentionally unhelpful posts#long post

The tragedy of ur boyfriends not letting u bite them just a little. As a Treat.
A Tup from @trudemaethien’s excellent fic Edeemi, Baby, One More Time that I drew back in May! I didn’t have a Star Wars tumblr at the time and wasnt planning on posting it anywhere so I forgot about it until now, but I had such a fun time playing around with lighting effects and his expression!
I really love their mer universe and I’m especially fond of Tup’s POV in this fic. It’s such a good job of expressing the confusion and frustration of communication barriers and reasonable, best-intent misunderstandings between all of them, while still leaning into the positive aspects of discovering the world and representing it from slightly different perspective than people normally take 10/10 highly recommended
Closeup of the sketch for his expression under the cut because I was super happy with it
#clone trooper tup#mermay#my art#sw tcw#mermay bc technically i drew it may 23rd or smth#the background is very boring but im ok w that honestly bc i made this for myself to live on my tablet forever#actually i also sent it to my mom and she said it made her happy :)#anyway i vibed so hard w this tup and his confusion/frustration/rejection sensitivity at wooley going hoshit dont bite me#as someone whos Strong Feelings often get redirected into Bite Impulse the twin frustration and disappointment that someone takes it bad?#so real#me and tup shaking hands over partners who let us bite. as a treat.#the sketch i channeled the feeling of going to bite To Be Sweet and ur partner going ‘no!!! mean!’ real hard#like please i am overwhelmed with affection i need to feel it in my teeth#anyway @trudemaethian (sp?) u got me out of a literal years long art slump to start making meaningful amnts of content bc i was so Overcome#so thank u very much and very deeply for that!#in exchange the fruits of me relearning how to use my drawing program

i feel like amaurotine society's conformity is something that often gets overlooked in the english-speaking fanbase. not just in the way people bend canon for the sake of their azems, but i mean that it seems, at least for an american audience, that the ancient way of life is so odd and unlike what we're used to that it seems almost alien. unfortunately i'm also east asian so i can assure you that amaurot is real and is located in seoul, south korea. hell on earth.
#xivposting#part of hermes's agonies comes from a very east asian idea of conformity#and when you have Problems and are not cishet..#honestly im struggling to even come up with a coherent angle for this particular thought bc im kind of overwhelmed by Every Angle#obviously this is a japanese game written by japanese people so theyre probably speaking on japanese society#but when i tell you korea is far worse about conformity#everyone in seoul dresses in exactly the same style and i am not joking

We got a lot of Louis’ anger this episode and all I can say is it’s unnerving. Especially with the combined factor that it’s his trigger for the fire gift.
#louis not beating the pyromaniac allegations this season#and i love to see it#iwtv spoilers#louis de pointe du lac#iwtv s2#okay shutting up now#bc i am so overwhelmed#and my ass is still at work freaking tf out#can’t wait to watch again and absorb it into my brain#interview with the vampire

okay i'm curious bc i have kinda fallen off on taz n noticed the later campaigns aren't as popular so
also DO NOT be bringing hate in the tags. this is just a general question, not trying to bring negative vibes but just wondering
#alli says shit#the adventure zone#taz balance#taz amnesty#taz graduation#taz ethersea#taz steeplechase#tbh mostly i'm just asking bc i was like. oh i'll just wait for steeplechase to be over n give myself a lil taz break#thinking it would be like five eps but now it's literally 30 eps in and i realize. i might have made a mistake#frankly that last part IS for grad haters. i don't want travis mcelroy hate in my tags. i LOVED graduation#though i am curious if anyone got overwhelmed with them goin from biweekly to weekly#like i love it but at the same time.. please

anyyywayyysss. totally unrelated to any previous posts or potential current WIPs (lie) I have a headcanon that izzy is like. ridiculously loud during sex. and I don’t just mean like, moaning and whimpering (which he does do) but like,,, have you heard how much that man swears? and how LOUD he can swear?? his unchallenged yelling prowess? you can NOT tell me that my man wouldn’t be the most noisy ass bottom alive in bed but in like the most aggressive way possible. if it almost sounds like he’s angry with you then you’re doing it right. just raging lustful screaming echoing for ten miles in every direction like “FUUUCKKKFUCKFUCKFUCKFUCKFUCK OH FUCKING SHIT - NGH - FUCK - DADDY - FUCK - JESUS FUCKING BALLS FUCKING HELL ED. 💖EDDIE ED EDEDEDDIEOHEDFUCK - NGHHH SHIT - AH-” etc etc you get the picture. the crew of the queen anne have never known a full nights sleep in their entire lives.
#everyone is shocked to take him to bed bc they expect him to be all gruff and stoic but he’s actually ridiculously talkative and loud#except the ‘talking’ part is just excessively loud curse words and violent animalistic yelling.#he legitimately sounds like he’s furious but that’s just how he handles being overwhelmed by pleasure#the only non-curse word to escape his lips during sex is Ed’s name <333#(and yes I am still not recovering from the Eddie nickname being canon oh my god)#I was never really into the headcanon before but the moment he said it in the show I was like holy shit. I will never be the sam#I will now make this my entire personality.#he would say it so softly and reverently… eddie… eddie eddie Eddie…. Ed…#sunnyposting#ANYWAYS. normal again#izzy hands#ofmd

Hi! Sorry if anyone has asked you yet, but I was in the voice chat with a friend (Kiwi says hi), and we were wondering: how do you pronounce your username?
Hi Lily (and Kiwi😆💓)
Hmmmmm that’s a good question🤔 it’s just my initials so I guess…my-okk? But I’ve never actually said it out loud and I guess when I’m thinking in Spanish I pronounce it more like me-ok in my mind😆 so I guess however you want to say it!!!
#sometimes I forget that people only think of or know me as my username#which shouldn’t be a surprise bc I do it for the vast majority of you as well😆😆💓💓#also thank you to everyone who left comments/sent me messages etc#I am kind of embarrassed about that post and never wanted it to blow up I was just trying to figure out myself#what was going on😵💫😵💫#im slowly going to be responding to you!!!🫶🫶🫶#just overwhelmed tbh but at least the VAST majority was positivity & people supporting each other💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓

my most unpopular grouchy christmas opinion is that krampusposting is more cringe and irritating than sincere christmas love by like a factor of 50
#if you love christmas i will be annoyed but in a way where i'm aware that it's on me. you should like your holidays that's fine.#if you post krampus i am so mortified to see it and the urge to MEDDLE becomes overwhelming. it becomes so hard to leave it alone.#it's so so embarrassing to see.#just dug up this post from drafts last year bc i was reading abt how krampus is early modern/definitely not 'prechristian' which is an extr#layer like not that it would fine to post obvious racism / blood libel if it was prechristian revivalism but like. it simply is not. AND.#it is often racist / antisemitic and always embarrassing.#waving a red flag at a bull with this post let's fucking go#h/t kuzu for linking me the article in question.
