Sutures and Flower Petals

I’ve fallen in love with the lines on my hands. I’m enamored with the way they spill and twist, wrapping around my wrists and curling into my palms.

The love, that’s easy. I’ve never had a reason not to love. It’s the caring that matters, but that part’s—tricky.

The lines on my hands aren’t bends, they’re seams. It’s a rare piece of clothing that’s made from one piece. There’s this idea that tears come from outside sources and are held by the lucky few. There’s this idea…

My mother’s best work isn’t made from nails and hair. She can craft with them, but doesn’t love them enough to focus. Her early lessons were all of stolen time and smudged graphite. Of the hair, the nails, chapstick and clips and bright, incongruous colors, my mother’s first lesson was how to sew. She wanted to be a surgeon, once. It’s easy to imagine her with a scalpel, a needle, her hair pinned up and blood on her gloved hands.

Sometimes, when I breathe, I can feel something blooming inside of me. It wraps around my ribs, my lungs, presses against my skin. The seams stretch and widen, but they don’t snap, not anymore. Not yet. They’re brilliant, gaping and straining, criss-crossed with bright thread—yellow and purple, for my sister, white and gold, for my mother, brown and green, for me. I don’t paint over the seams, like you’re supposed to: hair and nails, it’s all exhausting. I know the rules, but what’s the point?

Isn’t it lovely? People are not clay or skin or broken glass. We may not be molded, but we can embroider. We can break and remake. Isn’t it lovely, that we may sew and sew and snap?

so when do we get to see ted telling trent that he ticked him off

Vulcan teen on Vulcan [tiktok] saying "I have just lost track of my father in the grocery store." The camera turns to show the viewers the grocery store in which almost every single older middle-aged man has a bowlcut and long robes. Camera turns back to show the teen's face which is expressionless and yet communicates all it needs to.

“…to me” is one of the most powerful disclaimers we have on here… is this character analysis accurate? debatable. but it’s real… to me.

wait do people read first person stories and think they're the ones in the story???

Saw people talking about not liking first person, which is fair, but their reasoning was like "I would not do that" and I don't understand that mindset.

First person stories are still about a character. A character making their own decisions. First person isn't about you???? At least I thought it wasn't. What am I missing? I've always seen first person as just a more in-depth look into a character's mind and stricter POV. Not as a reader stand-in.

the funniest meltdown ive ever had was in college when i got so overstimulated that i could Not speak, including over text. one of my friends was trying to talk me through it but i was solely using emojis because they were easier than trying to come up with words so he started using primarily emojis as well just to make things feel balanced. this was not the Most effective strategy... until. he tried to ask me "you okay?" but the way he chose to do that was by sending "👉🏼👌🏼❓" and i was so shocked by suddenly being asked if i was dtf that i was like WHAT???? WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY TO ME?????????? and thus was verbal again

the way people online talk about autism is getting really weird, like do they know that neurotypicals still have interests? that someone being passionate about a hobby doesn't mean they're autistic? you guys know that right

[ottosbigtop]

I think we as a society should bring back brotps. I think we should be weirder about characters being friends the same way people are weird about ships. Make those two characters who interacted once or twice besties. Make it difficult for them to get rid of each other even if they want to. Go nuts

Last summer I was on a very expedited acid come up at a music festival and my entirely unaware mother thousands of miles away was at costco and texted me incredulous at how they already had halloween stuff out for sale in the summer but all I saw was a message preview of a giant 10 foot tall skeleton with glowing eyes and "can u believe it??"

There’s that post that’s like ‘everyone should get into a tiny niche fandom at least once’ fully agree, that was really fun -- but I would like to add that everyone should get into a fandom where their opinions run counter to major fanon because it really teaches you about sticking to your guns and trusting your interpretation of the text without having to rely on peer validation

because WHAT are people talking about sometimes
