#love that matters

[blabbershere]

I'm a hopelessly romantic old soul disguised as a loner for this modern age love.

really love dynamics that are like 'it honestly doesn't matter if you view them as romantic or platonic, the point is that they love each other. the type of love is inconsequential, all that matters is that it's there'. gotta be one of my favorite genders.

EVERY SINGLE DAY there are MILLIONS of characters in their late 20s who get falsely accused of being father figures to teenagers when in reality the description of "weird older cousin" or "step-sibling that moved out before you were born" is 1000000x more apt

talking to preschoolers is awesome bc they have not fully differentiated stories into 'true stories' and 'imaginary stories' yet so you will tell them about something that happened you once (coyote came out of a bush right in front of you and got startled) and they will tell you about how one time their house was full of coyotes in every room 'including five in the garage' and they're not even like, aware i think of the idea that they are technically 'lying'. they are simply telling stories about coyotes bc its time to tell stories about coyotes.

I really wonder if trauma theorists who say things like "Humans are the only animal that will be in a fright state when physically safe" or "the rest of the animal kingdom doesn't get PTSD" have ever, like

Do you think they've actually ever met an animal?

I find it really wonderful and comforting that Mob Psycho 100 is so inherently optimistic, even though its main message, “you are not special” sounds so mean at face-value. Being special means that something matters more than something else of the same category. Being special at baking? Great! Being special at math? Super! Being special at bodybuilding? Neat! Having so many people have such unique special abilities is what makes the world work. But having a special ability doesn’t mean that someone who doesn't match your special ability matters less than you. You can't be special for simply existing, because that would mean someone else isn't. You aren't special because you inherently matter.

Ok but when they parallel this scene with Viktor as machine herald looking at jayce’s broken human body and realizing that he too would do anything in his power to save him, what then?

There's a lot to be said for loving and being loved, but there's a nuance to it. We don't just want to be loved, we want to be loved in a way that matters to us. And that takes a lot more time and compassion and empathy than I think most people give it credit for. It has to be built. Sometimes it even has to be destroyed and rebuilt because of a fatal error as you both grow. But it's worth the investment. To be loved in a way that matters is worth the time when both people try.

In a fragile new relationship, full of unknowns and roughed out connections, I said "ah, it hurts," and my person, trying to love me said "oh no, it hurts? Where does it hurt?" And we Googled it, and then everything hurt exponentially worse, I spiralled into a relativity pit of unknowns and old traumatized dissociations, and then we fight about how to handle fear but it won't sound that deep. It will sound like we're fighting about why it hurts.

But in my now-12-year-old relationship, I said "ah, it hurts," and my patient and loving fiancé said "of course you dumb fuck, you had your bones drilled into barely two weeks ago, who do you think you are, Jesus? Do you want the ibuprofen now or are we going to be stubborn again?" And that's just the way I need to be loved when things hurt. That's the way that matters.

You guys are commenting on the fics you read right? You’re at least leaving kudos on the Astarion smut and the pairs that have less than 20 fics for them too? You’re bookmarking stories you really like that are still being updated and ones that haven’t been touched in over a year right?

You know that even the smallest interactions are like cocaine to fic writers right? You understand how important a string of emoji hearts left behind on a chapter at three am is right?? Right????

You’re treating AO3 like a community and not a content factory….right?
