#idk what to label this as

[alchemicalwerewolf]

Have I ever told you how beautiful the world is? How beautiful the trees are, and the sky, and the moon? How

When you do a little dance, or whistle a tune while outside, the trees will applaud you unapologetically. And the leaves turn beautiful greens and reds and browns, showing their innermost secrets to you without fear. They drop their leaves so you can make them make a crunchy noise.

The sky is beautiful too. The colors change, and morph, and mold. When you look out your window to shut the blinds at night, it gifts you the warmth of a vast expanse. When you step onto your porch early in the morning when you can’t go back to sleep, it shows you it’s beautiful painting to soothe you.

Ever seen the moon? How it changes and shifts through its phases? Notice how it’s there every night? Even when you can’t see it, you know it’s around to speak its soothing affirmations. Notice how its dim light looks so bright? It stole it just for you. Because you’re important and it knows that.

They all know that. The world sees your beauty. The world sees your pain. But through it all, the world is ready to save you. The world wants to love you. Just look around and let it. And love it back.

Does this count

you're grabbing lunch with a nice man and he gives you that strange grimace-smile that's popular right now; an almost sardonic "twist" of his mouth while he looks literally down on you. it looks like he practiced the move as he leans back, arms folded. he just finished reciting the details of NFTs to you and explaining Oppenheimer even though he only watched a youtube about it and hasn't actually seen it. you are at the bottom of your wine glass.

you ask the man across from you if he has siblings, desperately looking for a topic. literally anything else.

he says i don't like small talk. and then he smiles again, watching you.

a few years ago, you probably would have said you're above celebrity gossip, but honestly, you've been kind of enjoying the dumb shit of it these days. with the rest of the earth burning, there's something familiar and banal about dragging ariana grande through the mud. you think about jeanette mccurdy, who has often times gently warned the world she's not as nice as she appears. you liked i'm glad my mom died but it made you cry a lot.

he doesn't like small talk, figure out something to say.

you want to talk about responsibility, and how ariana grande is only like 6 days older than you are - which means she just turned 30 and still dresses and acts like a 13 year old, but like sexy. there's something in there about the whole thing - about insecurity, and never growing up, and being sexualized from a young age.

people have been saying that gay people are groomers. like, that's something that's come back into the public. you have even said yourself that it's just ... easier to date men sometimes. you would identify as whatever the opposite of "heteroflexible" is, but here you are again, across from a man. you like every woman, and 3 people on tv. and not this guy. but you're trying. your mother is worried about you. she thinks it's not okay you're single. and honestly this guy was better before you met, back when you were just texting.

wait, shit. are you doing the same thing as ariana grande? are you looking for male validation in order to appease some internalized promise of heteronormativity? do you conform to the idea that your happiness must result in heterosexuality? do you believe that you can resolve your internal loneliness by being accepted into the patriarchy? is there a reason dating men is easier? why are you so scared of fucking it up with women? why don't you reach out to more of them? you have a good sense of humor and a big ol' brain, you could have done a better job at online dating.

also. jesus christ. why can't you just get a drink with somebody without your internal feminism meter pinging. although - in your favor (and judgement aside) in the case of your ariana grande deposition: you have been in enough therapy you probably wouldn't date anyone who had just broken up with their wife of many years (and who has a young child). you'd be like - maybe take some personal time before you begin this journey. like, grande has been on broadway, you'd think she would have heard of the plot of hamlet.

he leans forward and taps two fingers to the table. "i'm not, like an andrew tate guy," he's saying, "but i do think partnership is about two people knowing their place. i like order."

you knew it was going to be hard. being non-straight in any particular way is like, always hard. these days you kind of like answering the question what's your sexuality? with a shrug and a smile - it's fine - is your most common response. like they asked you how your life is going and not to reveal your identity. you like not being straight. you like kissing girls. some days you know you're into men, and sometimes you're sitting across from a man, and you're thinking about the power of compulsory heterosexuality. are you into men, or are you just into the safety that comes from being seen with them? after all, everyone knows you're failing in life unless you have a husband. it almost feels like a gradebook - people see "straight married" as being "all A's", and anything else even vaguely noncompliant as being ... like you dropped out of the school system. you cannot just ignore years of that kind of conditioning, of course you like attention from men.

"so let's talk boundaries." he orders more wine for you, gesturing with one hand like he's rousing an orchestra. sir, this is a fucking chain restaurant. "I am not gonna date someone who still has male friends. also, i don't care about your little friends, i care about me. whatever stupid girls night things - those are lower priority. if i want you there, you're there."

he wasn't like this over text, right? you wouldn't have been even in the building if he was like this. you squint at him. in another version of yourself, you'd be running. you'd just get up and go. that's what happens on the internet - people get annoyed, and they just leave. you are locked in place, almost frozen. you need to go to the bathroom and text someone to call you so you have an excuse, like it's rude to just-leave. like he already kind of owns you. rudeness implies a power paradigm, though. see, even your social anxiety allows the patriarchy to get to you.

you take a sip of the new glass of wine. maybe this will be a funny story. maybe you can write about it on your blog. maybe you can meet ariana grande and ask her if she just maybe needs to take some time to sit and think about her happiness and how she measures her own success.

is this settling down? is this all that's left in your dating pool? just accepting that someone will eventually love you, and you have to stop being picky about who "makes" you a wife?

you look down to your hand, clutching the knife.

yknow what. I wanna say: CSA and COCSA survivors are all incredible, but I also wanna give a shout out to ppl who were exposed to sexual stuff or had any kind of sexual experience as a kid that they either aren't comfortable labelling as or don't consider abuse, but they know it still fucking sucked and shouldnt have happened. Even if that changes later in life and you identify as a victim/surivor, it can be messy to have to imagine those labels applying to the ppl in ur life and that can take time.

The most important thing is to prioritize your recovery + health, and to support other victims + survivors.

For the purposes of this poll, ship and let ship means you don't care what people ship; everything is fair game. Some might refer to you as "pro ship".

If you think certain things shouldn't be shipped, if you apply morals to what you or others ship, and/or you do care, then answer "no".

You define white for yourself.

No results option bc you either pick or you don't.

Please reblog for sample size.

Angelic Alastor AU bc the poly im thinkin out for it makes me laugh sometimes.

Lilith and Lucifer winding down in each others arms after having sex, having random conversation topics and eventually ending on Alastor.

Lilith: He's always been so reserved with anything regarding this, are most of your kind like that or???

Lucifer: No, I mean we are able to have those kinds of relationships, they're not really taboo amongst angels. Alastor's just....never been interested in it...?

Lilith: Hmmm.....

Lucifer: ..........

Lilith: ......he'd be pretty fucking hot tho-

Lucifer: Oh stars yes, I've been envisioning it for eons, you have no idea-

Idk Idea 001

Just read It's Just a Prank, Bro by Tachvintlogic on AO3 and, man, now my brain is coming up with concepts for a similar idea like:

Danny having many run-ins with Constantine where Danny will say something or give some "advice" for something he sees as a Problem TM.

Note: Danny does not have the same views as most people on what is and isn't good/bad.

Their first interaction: They meet at a bar and Danny warns him about his smoking habit. Constantine ignores the "advice" and later it turns out his current box of cigarettes have been laced with poison. Constantine—after leaving the Justice League's medical ward a week later—proceeds to lose his goddamn mind about this random guy who maybe knew about it.

Constantine goes out and tracks down this guy he met once in a bar only to find that Danny has no idea what he's talking about poisons and assassination attempts, but is he alright? Danny being concerned for this dude who tracked him down and doesn't even care that John was accusing him of being part of the assassination attempt.

(No Ghost King!Danny AU where Danny retires as teen hero and now is living his best life as just a dude who goes to work and—sure, occasionally visiting friends in the ghost zone—doesn't do crime fighting much anymore.)

So Constantine leaves convinced Danny is Just Some Guy and this was a coincidence. Danny walks him to the door politely and cracks a joke about being careful not to trip on cracks on the sidewalk, don't want to make it easier on the assassins, right?

Two days later, Constantine trips on uneven sidewalk and accidentally sets off a trap that gets him kidnapped by assassins. Goddamnit.

Just, accidental prophet Danny.

I think there needs to be some kind of bridge between "do what you want forever, labels are made for you not the other way around" and "these labels mean something and the community around them might get hurt if you don't treat them with respect and also some specific experiences deserve their own specific labels"

Like, I get wanting to be accepting of everyone but at the same time treating queer labels like they actually mean nothing and anyone who tries to say "oh hey maybe don't do that" is just a cop who wants to exclude people isn't great.

Like obviously exclusionism is bad and people who just hate anyone who isn't like them shouldn't have their opinion respected but at the same time it's like... These words are important and the people being like "they're just words who cares" clearly don't respect the history and community effort put into them.

I see aplatonics talking about how people assume not having friends means you're an unlikable person and how harmful that can be and it just reminds me of how people will point to assholes and say they don't have friends as an insult but like...I know a lot of assholes with friends. Their friends also tend to be assholes. someone not having friends is not a moral failing. Assholes have people who like them and will hang out with them while the nicest person you know may have no friends at all. so y'know, I'm with the aplatonics and platorepulsed ppl on this one.

i keep thinking about hobbies and how i often spill over myself to pick up new ones. i have adhd, i end up trying something for like a month and then just getting far enough in it that i move on, satisfied.

and that should be fine; but it's never fine.

i am a pretty decent artist; but i can't just make art for my dnd campaign, i should be selling dnd maps and character designs and scene setting pieces. i can't just make my friends matching earrings, i need to get an etsy and ship them internationally and take bulk orders. i make pretty good props and decorations and use them to throw my friends parties - but i should be running a party planning business and start taking paying clients and networking and putting my skills to actual use.

for some reason, i never figured out the specifics of pottery. it was a fun class and i enjoyed myself - and still, i'm embarrassed, years later, that i put in all that useless effort. everything i make has to be stunning. stellar. i should have applied myself more. maybe i'm too lazy. maybe i'm broken and selfish and needy. actually creative people would have kept going; they would be bettering themselves at every possible opportunity.

we find ourselves in this trap, even accidentally: we need to commodify our time, because it is a commodity. if we spend our efforts and our time not earning, isn't that the same thing as burning free money? and god forbid you ever take up a hobby that ends up being more expensive than you thought. you sit in your car and you look at the receipt and in your head you hear a conversation that isn't even happening - your mom or your friend or your partner all saying oh great. not this shit again. it's always something with you, and it never actually means anything.

i have realized this horrible thing, recently - i'll get excited to start a project, pick up a new hobby. and then i just... stop myself. i start thinking about the amount of time it will take, and how it'll look in my monthly budget. what if i can't even produce a good enough final product. sure, it's exciting to think about how i could make my friend her own custom dice. but i'm just polluting the earth if i don't get it right. better not bother. better not try.

restless, i get caught in the negative space. the feeling that oh god, i want to create. and that horrible sense - yeah, but i don't have the time to just put to waste.

so if you ship buddie you know buck and eddie's relationship in canon is like that™️ for tons of reasons but the one that gets me the most is, i think, best explained in the form of a graphic

this is obviously a simplistic depiction thats only featuring main family characters but it's to show how most of our 7 mains are connected together with specifically stated familial ties to each other and other major side characters. their storylines often overlap or involve the other main characters they're close to and they have at least 2 prominent connections to other mains. they all have many lovely little triangles. except eddie. eddie's storylines almost exclusively feature buck, chris, and other less prominent characters that aren't related to the rest of the cast like shannon, other love interests, or his parents.

while, of course, eddie is close with the rest of the 118 and considers them family and has tons of scenes with hen, chimney, and bobby, he's often not directly involved in their specific storylines and they aren't really involved in his. i mean he's barely even talked to athena or maddie on screen. his next closest relationship is obviously bobby. eddie and bobby have a stong connection as captain and teammate, as catholics, as widowers. bobby is a mentor to eddie a lot and gives him advice on his issues but he's often working as an outside observer to eddie's storyline, not directly involved either. and bobby often has storylines that don't involve eddie directly at all. it's nowhere near the same as bobby and buck or as close as like athena and hen's relationship

the show has just made buck eddie's most prominent connection time and time again when they've had literal years to expand his relationships with the other main characters. because this doesn't even include how athena and maddie often have scenes/storylines together or how karen and chimney have been friends since before meeting hen.

anyway my main point is give eddie diaz some more branches goddamit!
