I assume everyone will get bored of me because I get bored of them -> I keep people around because it services me to I have their attention and loyalty -> I won’t let anyone leave me even while I’m simultaneously mentally and physically leaving them

I thought poems required a degree of heartlessness, a running away into the pines, to the streambed. From that point on I became squeamish. I could no longer dig the bullets out of animals and brown their thighs in butter and eat them, or soak morels in a sink full of hot saltwater to kill the bugs hiding in their spongey hollows. Once I declined a man’s fig, having heard gossip of the dead wasp living at its center. And I have the audacity, now, to ask people who serve the suffering to serve with joy. Joy. What a joyless word. As if I served the drug addicts in my life with joy. As if I kissed the slashed wrists. The bored doctors.

—Diane Seuss, from “The Other” (Peste Magazine)

This was not heartlessness in the strict sense of the word; the woman not only knew that her behaviour was shameful, she was in truth ashamed of it and sorry for her victims. But life was a battle. She must either crush or be crushed.

Making some sample pieces for my Vgen page and also ended up making some slight changes to Bandy’s outfit! It feels so nice to work in this black and white manga style again 🥰

this is probably the best take I’ve heard so far on the debate of people being told that they aren’t having enough ‘compassion’ for billionaires making bad decisions and paying the obvious consequences for it

Husk and Alastor have a battle of wits, drinking, and jazz. AKA how I think Husk found out about Al’s situation.

Music: JK Sax’s cover of Tones and I “Dance Monkey”

I’m not a talented enough musician so I couldn’t make the music that was in my head lol but dance monkey fits pretty well.

Alastor: Husker, is that all you got? Hahaha, take another shot!

Husk: You ain’t on a sadist’s leash, you can’t know-it-all. Can’t know what I been through, if you ain’t at a beck and call!

Alastor: Ha! I win this spat with ease, looks like you’ve hit the wall. Cuz Jokes on you, I know that too, I know it all!

Husk: You…what?

Al: Perhaps, I’ve had too much to drink this time. Do yourself a favor, banish this night from your mind.

Husk: U-understood.

Al: Hm, good.

Love yourself a little extra right now. You're creating the life of your dreams and you absolutely deserve it. It's about to get magical for you.

to all my fellow heartless who lack romantic notions... happy valentines 🫀✨

[loveless-arobee]

It's always "aros can still date!" "aros can still be in (any type of non-romantic or romantic) relationships!" "aros aren't heartless!" "aros can still love in different ways!"

Well, sure, you do you.

But not all of us. A lot of us are *completely* non-partnering. There's loveless aros. Aplatonic aros. Hell, even heartless is a label some aros use!

We don’t need to do anything to "replace" the romantic relationships we don’t have. People can be completely happy alone! Without a partner! (Shocking, I know!)

I'm just a bit tired of all the amatonormativity I still see under some of the trending aro-positivity posts...
