#honestly i see this soooo often re: coffee tbh

[queenerdloser]

this already has plenty added to it, but i feel like. even leaving aside food allergies and sensitivities, things that are actively harmful like celiac and diabetes... it's also just like. even if those things didn't exist, you shouldn't alter a person's order.

skinny white bitches still have the right to decide what milk they want in their drink even if they're only choosing soy because of a fad. people in general have the right to choose what kind of food they want to consume even if theyre choosing it bc of a fad or bc theyre stupid or bc theyre making unhealthy choices or bc of any "bad" reason to choose a food/drink.

like yeah absolutely you can never guess what someone's health is. but i think this line of reasoning is eerily similar to the way people responded to the "don't treat weird people badly they might be autistic!" argument i saw a while back. like yeah obvs you shouldn't do that... but you should just shouldnt treat "weird" people badly, full stop. who cares if theyre secretly (or unknowingly) autistic - it's just a fucking dick move to treat someone "weird" bad even theyre just being weird to be weird and not for mental health reasons.

idk man. like i get the sentiment behind this, i really do, but at the same time the wording on it rubs me the wrong way. everyone deserves the right to choose what kind of food/drink they consume and not have those choices questioned or changed by complete strangers - yes, even completely healthy people, even annoying people, even "morally bad" people. and yes, you're just... being an asshole when you do this, even when you're doing it to someone who isn't going to notice or isn't going to get sick because of it. even if there's no negative repercussions, it's still a dick move and you still shouldn't do it.

DO NOT DO THIS.

This makes me so angry.

If you work in a movie theater and you do this I have no respect for you.

My younger brother is Type 1 Diabetic.

When we go to a movie theater, we always get him diet soda. If he were to get regular when we asked for diet, we would not give him the insulin he would need for it. If that happens, his blood sugar level could go so high he could go into a coma, go blind, or even die.

If somebody gave him regular soda instead of diet without telling us, that person could be responsible for a nine-year-old being killed or blinded.

Just thinking about that makes me so angry. I get scared every time we take him to a movie in case the people working there saw this picture and decide to do the same thing.

Please signal boost this so people know.

Etsy Store Here l Ko-Fi l Commission Info I Instagram I Zine

A/N: Soooo this started as like, a general headcanon list, but it's probably going to be a series, maybe 1-5 more parts IDK

* I’ll say it now, and I’ll say it again -

* This is the only boy who truly deserves and appreciates all that you offer as a writer

* 100% meets you through his job

* He’s a manga editor, but he’s always loitering around the literature department hoping he might get shifted over there in the next performance evaluation

* Plus it doesn’t hurt that he’s made some friends here

* Anyway he’s hanging around, chatting with some of the team members and you walk by

* It’s not like, instant attraction or anything

* Don’t get it twisted, he thinks you’re cute- anyone with eyes could see that

* It’s something gentler than attraction

* It sort of like, feeling a gentle gust of wind on a warm day

* Like his soul just sighed and thought

* “oh so this is what you were waiting for”

* He watches you disappear into one of the conference rooms before turning to his colleagues

* “Who is that?”

* “Them? They’re the new writer the boss scouted a while back”

* Akaashi nods like it’s nothing, but every so often his gaze lingers back to where he saw you disappear into that netting room

* Tbh he’s got the most tact probably

* 100% overthinks it, coming up with the most elaborate schemes you can imagine

* “Maybe if I wait around near the bathroom at exactly 9:30 I can “fake” run into them”

* For a second considers stalking you, like just a split second, to find the most favorable opportunity

* But immediately banishes the thought

* He probably ends up running into you on accident at the convenience store or something

* “You work at the publishing company right?” You say, and he can feel his face get hot

* “Yeah”

* Damn. He could only get one word out.

* But it doesn’t seem to deter you, because you smile wide

* “I feel like I’ve seen you around a lot at the office,” you say and stick your hand out introducing yourself

* Akaashi’s panicking

* Oh my god. Oh my god. Oh my god.

* HE GETS TO TOUCH YOUR HAND

* “I’m Akaashi Keiji” he responds

* Damn. Only three words. That makes a grand total of four

* No way you’re going to remember him with just four words

* “I work in the manga editorial division”

* Alright now it’s up to 11, that should be good-

* Oh crap

* Why’d he say that??

* You’re a serious writer in the literature division.

* You probably think it’s lame that he edits manga

* He’s about to say something to cover it up when you grab his hand in both of yours and look at him with star-studded eyes

* “Are you the Akaashi-san that edits “Girl’s World”?”

* He, in fact, is that same editor

* Things roll pretty smooth after that

* Even if you’re not a huge manga fan, that manga totally gets to you

* It’s a coming of age story with drama added in, but all the drama is relevant to issues teenagers face today

* It’s suuuuuper good, and the artwork is pretty

* You buy every issue and keep it in your house

* But you’ve been kicking yourself because last week you missed an event at a local store selling signed copies

* Now every time you look at your bookshelf you get depressed

* You feel awkward asking, especially since he’s probably got better things to do than do a rookie writer a favor

* But Akaashi doesn’t let you feel awkward for too long

* “It’s no big deal, I’ll see if I can have it for you the next time you stop by”

* “Thank you so much!”

* You exchange numbers and as you’re walking home you feel a little jittery

* When was the last time you exchanged numbers with a boy?

* You’re not blind, Akaashi’s pretty handsome too, the first time you saw him at the office you thought

* “Wow, so beautiful men can exist in any industry huh?”

* But even though he was so handsome- it didn’t feel nerve-wracking to talk to him like it would have someone else

* It almost felt...

* Comforting

* Like you were talking to an old friend

* “It would be nice if we could be friends for real,” you think, instead of this imaginary relationship you’ve dreamed up in your mind

* Of course life gets busy and you forget all about the fact that you met Akaashi or that he promised you a signed copy of that manga

* You’ve just gotten out of a rather bleak meeting with your editor

* You look at the manuscript in your hand, it’s basically torn up with red ink

* Did you do anything right? You think as you look through the notes

* Another sigh rips out of you- you’ve definitely got your work cut out for you if you’re going to meet this deadline

* You’re contemplating just starting over and completely rewriting it when you see a pair of shiny shoes enter your view

* You look up to see Akaashi with his eyebrows threaded together

* “Everything okay?”

* You don’t answer, instead you just hold out your “bleeding red” manuscript

* “Ah, I remember hearing Nanami-San saying you had your work cut out for you”

* Oh great, so everyone knows you suck

* Akaashi watches you sigh again, and takes a seat beside you in the lounge area

* Honestly, Akaashi thinks you’re really talented, so he doesn’t get why a few comments have gotten you feeling so down

* Truth be told, he actually got to read your manuscript too-

* Nanami was showing off a pretty cool passage of yours

* It was pretty good, some of your best work yet, he really liked it

* But he can also see where the editing comments are coming from

* The flow was off in some places, and there needed to be more subtext for clarity

* “Don’t get discouraged, you know the last issue of “Girl’s World” had to be re-written five times?”

* Your eyes are as wide as saucers and he laughs

* “It’s true, Fushiguro- Kun nearly strangled me by the end of it, but it was his best issue yet so he couldn’t”

* You nod, digesting the information and Akaashi feels pretty good, looks like he pulled you out of your slump

* “The author of “Girl’s World” is a man?”

* Oh crap.

* It’s not exactly a secret, everyone in the department knows that “wonder egg” is actually Megumi Fushiguro

* But Fushiguro is pretty sensitive about that kind of thing, so only a handful of people outside the department know about it.

* “Let’s just keep this a secret between you and me okay?” He says with a grin, and you feel your face grow warm

* You would quite literally help him bury a body if he asked

* “Here, consider it a thank you for keeping my secret,” he says rummaging through his bag, pulling out a can of coffee and a glossy book

* “It’s not a signed copy of “Girl’s World” but maybe you’ll like it,” he says with a soft smile, patting you on the head

* “Don’t get discouraged okay?”

* You feel butterflies in your stomach even after he’s gone, looking at the cold can of iced coffee and a shiny copy of a next month’s manga issue

* And oddly enough, they bring a smile to your face

* Akaashi sighs, looking into his bag to see another can of green tea and a signed copy of “Girl’s World”

* He grabbed the reference book by accident, but thought maybe that’s what you need right now

* But the coffee-

* Well that’s just cowardice really

* He bought two cans when he saw you this morning but decided against it when he saw how down you were

* And though maybe now wasn’t the best time to ask you to come to drink coffee with him on an impromptu half date

* “Half of love and relationships is timing after all “ he sighs, a hand threading through his hair.

* The other half is feelings

* And with the way you’re both feeling butterflies

* I promise you’ve got tons of those

WIP tag meme

aaah, I was tagged over 2 months ago by @parkkate O.O sorry for not doing this sooner @parkkate​ XD I’ve been offline for a few months! Just now catching up on everything I missed! but I’m ignoring asks for now because my inbox is a mess

The Rules: Post the names of all the files in your WIP folder, regardless of how non-descriptive or ridiculous.

I’m gonna cheat and only do this for my drarry wips, since I post everything else on another account now, and tbh I have so many drarrys it’s still gonna be a long ass post XD

Oh man *sweats nervously* I’m a bit of a hoarder in all aspects of my life...I don’t even know where to begin! 

I’m not tagging anyone cos I was tagged 2 months ago and I have no idea who has and hasn’t done this and don’t want to be a pain. But if you wanna do it, go a head, and please tag me so I can be nosy and hopefully find someone with a wip problem as bad as my own so I can be less embarrassed XD

Also I’m putting this under a cut for reasons

1. 4th year au idea 

Sooooo, right off the bat, I often open a new file to jot down an idea even though I have docs specifically to dump ideas...and then at some point during the process of jotting down basic details of the idea...I start writing it....? This is one such occurrence...but I had to open it to check...and now I want to keep writing it XD

But also yikes it’s super dark

2. ... 4th year au idea

I swear, this is an entirely different wip and I am going ‘wtf’ at myself because wtf that’s confusing! I had also totally forgotten the existence of this before opening it....probably because of the name of it and the only reason I apparently have 2 files the exact same name is that one is a word doc and one is a libre office doc XD

3. drarry character death idea

Soooo, I need to stop turning idea files into wips without changing the names because I actually forget they are wips apparently

Also, I really want to finish this RIGHT NOW IT HURTS SO GOOD GIMME GIMME GIMME

4. Veela fic followup

LOL LOL LOL I’m rewriting my veela fic so I don’t know what the fuck I’m going to end up doing with this XD I might have to try and merge it with the re-write if the story has a similar outcome when I’m done. or maybe I’ll just turn this into its own thing....

5. Veela fic present tense

I really need to get back to working on this, this is actually the full re-write that re-doing the tenses spawned...I was binge writing this before my life went to hell but then my life went to hell and I went offline for like three months and didn’t do any writing or anything XD

although, the last time I looked at it I got the itch to change it back to past tense so who fucking knows what I’ll do with it now

6. Veela fic Draco pov

Curse my obsession with alternate povs of the same story and Draco for being such a good angsty pov

7. Veritaserum idea start

At least this one has ‘start’ in it so I know it is in fact a wip and not just an idea outline XD

7. Veritaserum

So, turns out I started that fic over in a new file and just left the old one lying around XD I do that too often. I should delete that other one...

Also...this better not turn into another ‘Amortentia’ with me unable to think of a fucking title and going with the file name because lame

This is also my first time trying to do god’s eye 3rd person instead of 3rd person pov...also first time trying to do this weird structure thing...I dunno but I like it XD

8.  CTS followup

9. CTS sequel

Two separate followups set at different times in the same story verse... I hate myself. I love them both. I can’t pick which one to stop writing so I’m gonna keep them both around and try and make them merge at some point...

10. MMB saying sorry

11. another erase the shame

12. next erase the shame

I work on followups and lose interest so often (usually because people bug me for followups and I get very ‘fuck you’ about it and stop writing them...but I keep them around and tinker with them every now and then soooo they’re still technically wips

13. Tea and Coffee oneshot series (Tea and Coffee, Coffee and Dark Marks, The Cottage Kitchen, next untitled one)

There’s also a present tense version of the first one of those *sweats nervously* first 3 are finished, of course, but my original purpose is lost to them becoming a long fic soo....gonna merge them into one long fic soon...once I decide what tense I like better......kill me now

14. Communion of the Soul (folder name)

This is the sequel to One Touch and this is spread across 5 files because apparently I did that and even though each time I got to work on it I have to figure out which file holds which part of the sequel timeline and which I feel like working on...I have yet to merge them into one file to make my life easier...

15. Crumbling Facade

ugh working on this always makes me want to re-write restraint and actually put in the major plot line, or what was supposed to be Harry’s major plot line before the relationship crap got away from me and I had to cut out all the plot stuff because by the time I got around to addressing it, it started reading like a completely different fic and I had to cut a huge chunk and end it instead, because back then I sucked more than I do now and couldn’t juggle

sooo...I still work on this in starts and stops and then get frustrated for having to stick to Restraint’s chain of events when I have better ideas now for working in Harry’s plot about his damn magic problem and ARRGEHGEHGFVEDHDBVUIOFNBFKDB EFBVJ

I should just let Crumbling Facade take me where it wants to take me and fuck Restraint

16. Potter’s Insatiable Heart

This is my longest wip at 130k XD and I’m stalling now because if I keep going with it where I was intending to go it will end up my longest fic and I’m getting intimidated by the length and how much work it will be to edit that long of a fic so I just go in and write a few paragraphs now and again, get scared of the length and move on to another wip XD

I also periodically binge read this bitch because I love it to death even though it’s severely flawed XD

17. Corset Drarry

oh boy, when I started writing this this I was weirded out by writing a kink I didn’t understand and kind of tailed off and left it...then I did kinktober for voltron and now I’m laughing at myself because corsets and lingerie is so fucking tame after that kinktober list and all the the crap I wrote for it XD

18. Music in the Periphery

Emily bugs me about finishing this a lot...I bug me about finishing it, progress is non-existent because I have a clear plan for it and when I have a clear plan I can’t write for shit

19. Saying Sorry (Round 2) (MMB)

I gotta kick that habit of starting over with something but keeping the first attempt and still working on it parallel to the second attempt, because then I wind up with 2 fics too similar to each other to post both and I’m completely unable to pick which one I like more *facepalm*

Also, MMB is dead if I can’t stop turning the next fic attempts into angst, I just look at that big fluffy mess and want to angst it all up

20. scrapped MMB ficlets - theo’s letter

not technically drarry thought the greater series is drarry...torn between making it mmb or making it its own fic for a rare pair

21. Weather the Storm

*cries* my 6th year war au, I have such plans for this, but the plans get in the way of writing =(

22. Soulmate AU (folder name)

fucking hell, this is 10+ files and I’m not naming all of them, current count is 5 completed versions 60k+ each, 1 incomplete alternate version, all of which I’m seriously unsatisfied with, none of which I can bear to delete, all of which I periodically go and tinker with, thus leaving them all wips i’m such a fucking hoarder but also I have never gotten over all the awful comments that were on the original soulmate fic on ffnet before my purge and now I can’t ever be satisfied unless it is perfect and wont result in such horrible comments again

23. Turnabout (folder name)

Once again, multiple wips in here of the same 60k finished fic I’ve been unhappy with since the moment I finished it and keep trying to fix by starting over and changing things here and there to change the course of the story. Honestly ready to hit the delete button with this one unless my latest attempt pans out, liking it so far buuuut I’m a mess about my writing so who knows

In the Ways that Matter was based off this fic XD

24. Dependency 

Oh boy, I abandoned this cos it was so dark I got too uncomfortable writing it...I’ve since started revisiting it after being in the Voltron fandom gave me a new tolerance range for dark content XD

Plan on posting this on anon if I ever finish it, obviously changing the title XD it stopped being relevant after the first 30k anyway 

25. Dependency V2

LOL light version of the above that removes most of the dark aspects while maintaining the core plot, but I’m finding it a bit dull XD not sure how long I’ll keep trying to chug along with it

26. *censored title*

hahahaha omg why is this in a different subfolder, this is actually one of the soulmate au ones only it’s actually a spin off au of the original soulmate one I from ffnet and therefore it’s new ground and I’m less unhappy with it

.....I’m probably going to stop working on turnabout today and work on this instead now

(censoring the name because I might post this on anon because I’m too scared to post another drarry soulmate fic under my own name)

27. Retrospection

Sooo, I’m always on and off this fic cos it triggers my anxiety and depression, but fuck that I want to write it so I keep trying XD

I’m also thinking of splitting the two main plots and only going with 1 and using the other to write another story....see if that eases how difficult it is for me to write without self triggering

28. Sequel to mornings

29. Sunrise (loose prequel to mornings)

30. Surrender

I had no idea what this was, opened it and then holy shit THIS BITCH, THIS SLOW BURN FRIENDS TO LOVERS PIECE OF BULLSHIT. I DON’T WRITE SLOW BURN! I DON’T WRITE FRIENDS TO LOVERS. I REFUSE.

but also I really really really love what I wrote so far and now I’m itching to write more *cries* making this list is leaving me with so many open files to work on

31. day 2 ass worship

32. day 3 sensory deprivation

*laughs nervously* the kinktober oneshots that starting turning into a long fic hahahaha cos I really needed more wips

33. Perception of Angels

*wistful sigh* one day I will be able to finish a heavily plot driven story full of fantasy elements and creatures and magic I made up, and when that day somes, Perception of Angels....or that timetravel war au drarry fic idea I have sitting around.....which isn’t on this list only cos I’m not stupid enough to start writing it

So that’s all the drarry files in my wip folder.... I also have heaps more for other ships and fandoms, but I’m keeping that separate =)

And...now I have some writing to go do, cos after 2 months of being unable to write thanks to the bullshit in my life, I started binge writing again 2 days ago =) and opening a few of these to remind myself what they were has a lit a fire under my ass
