the fuck of it is that the easiest cure for social media ✨✨skincare✨✨brainrot in my experience is to talk to women older than u in real life. ask a woman u know who’s over fifty and has beautiful healthy skin what her “skincare routine” is and she’ll be like well i wash my face every night and exfoliate with a wash cloth. i use a lotion from the grocery store that my doctor says is good, i get enough sleep, and i wear a sun hat in the garden

why are people so weird to the actors in the outsiders? like why are people commenting ‘marry me’ and ‘adopt me’ on peoples lives?(i get they’re probably 12 but why do 12 year olds have tiktok and instagram? 12 year olds honestly shouldn’t have social media but that’s another convo for another day) i just read something where someone said they were at broadwaycon and when jason walked on stage some lady screamed ‘take your clothes off’ at him. apparently stage door has been getting a lot more rude and disrespectful to the actors too like can we not? it’s so gross. just because they’re on broadway and happen to be uber kind doesn’t mean it’s okay to harass them! it’s so gross. i wish more people were more respectful of them.

Both show and book Penelope Featherington are far better than me actually because if I had to witness all of the love matches of the ton confident that it would never happen to me?? You’d be reading about me in the regency newspaper.

Effloresce Snippet
He kissed both her cheeks, bending even lower to raise Nesta’s right hand, pressing her cold knuckles to his brow in solemn salute.
“Nesta Archeron,” Jurian said, like her name was twice its length, a foreign weighted history, “You ready to know whose blood runs in your veins?”
Nesta, who had lived this particular conversation thrice over now, only shook her head. Touched between his brows in curious, only half-understood benediction, allowing him to step away. “Jurian. You survived the fires.”
His smile was only in his eyes, rainwater grey searingly bright. “You wouldn’t waste time sending messages to corpses.”
Nadia, from where she’d stopped three swaggering paces into the room, shedding her coat and swords with utterly false carelessness, huffed out a rough laugh. It was a bizarre comfort to see her, unchanged- strong brown hands dense with tattoos that bloomed into looser patterns up her arms, those knives and that hideous leather vest, remnants of a life that seemed nearly simple, now. So very far away.
She cast a scathing look at Nesta’s guard, the Illyrian busy visibly wishing murder upon Jurian, his entire focus held on the distance between their bodies.
“Protection has gotten more interesting,” she said, tone blithe, “Where’s your Vanserra?”
“Honeymoon.” Nesta let herself lean back onto the desk, hand behind her body biting into its ash lip. Dawn, Winter, reconnaissance. Elain walking underhill in mortal wedding pearls, Lucien at her back.
A heaved sigh, Jurian’s head oh so briefly dipped. “Wars and weddings, my lady. Blessings.”
“When you were our age, humans couldn’t marry.”
“Nor does he believe in any damned gods,” Nadia crossed the room fae quick, expression wicked as the guard flinched, stopping right alongside Nesta. A test, twofold- Nesta didn’t pull a knife as Nadia had once taught her, the legionnaire didn’t start in on violence without orders. “Don’t believe the prayers, unless they’re bloody.”

Another one:
Tell me, what is your Tav's greatest fear? Can be from spiders to failure, I wanna know what makes them shake in their boots- outside of their current perils. And do they have a reason for these fears?
Delight- Heights. Saw a man fall from a mountain path by a simple strong wind when she was still working with a big smuggling ring. Ever since she gets the jeebies around long falls.
Iker- Being eaten alive. He's seen it happen and because of Back Story Reasons, so he would rather bite his tongue and die before being eaten alive.
Rowan- Loss of control. They're very conscious of how the world perceives them and its opinion of them, so the thought of losinc control of themselves and acting against the image and reputation they've built so far is horrifying.
Zlatan- Undiscovered. He has lived thus far with very few attachments and even if he walks a different path from his people he was still raised a stalwart githyanki warrior so death is a paltry fear to him. Perhaps with new companions this will change...
Briallen- Watching someone they love die, helpless. Yeah this is the thing that keeps her up at night and afraid of opening her heart to someone. It's happened once and completely defined her life till this point. Never again.

Pls tell your handling brush with homophobia with grace story !
So I was heading home with my coworkers, we’re all teachers at an afterschool program. We all also happen to be LGBT in some way but that’s an aside. My coworker was telling us about something that happened during our lunch period. We have this Girl Positive event coming up and today we were asking students if they wanted to sign up. It’s for girls but boys can sign up too. This one student said he wished there was an event for boys (we have one coming up but I digress.) and how he didn’t want to go to this event cuz he didn’t want to be gay. My coworker was telling us about how she talked to him about it. About how that’s not how sexuality works and such. After the story was done I made a joke about gay beams and how if you get hit with one you turn gay immediately. We shared a laugh about it. Then this lady on the bus with us asked if we were teachers also. We said yes. She asked if we’re teaching kids to be gay. I told her I was joking (as gay beams don’t exist) and she said “good. Teaching kids to be gay is a no-no. It’s an abomination.” My coworkers just looked at each other and started laughing. We laughed at her until she got off the bus and we told her to get home safe.

ISTFG the way cis women treat their entire existence as endless misery and then refuse to do fucking anything at all about it HAS to be self harm. Like. There's no way I can rationalise why the hell they do it to themselves other than intentional self-sabotage
