this might be mean but. it really ticks me off when people respond to authors and artists wishing for actual community and engagement with their works by saying "oh but you see im just so anxious i cannot offer you any kind words." with the optional "but do please keep making things for me anyway!" because like...

a) do you understand how anxiety-inducing it can be to pour a little piece of your soul into a work of art and share it publicly? i feel like you don't see the people creating these things as people like you and that is an issue. we are people who just really love a thing and want to talk about it with other people who also love that thing.

but moreover, and this is the part that might be mean, b) damn why doesn't your anxiety prevent you from making excuses to us then? i wish it did! like if you're SO anxious about a fic author blocking you for saying something nice, why are you not anxious about getting blocked for telling that author "okay but i don't want to comment on your works though"??? because i can tell you which of these two things is way more likely to piss me off and it isn't the comment.

like. idk man. if you really don't want to comment on and engage with people's creative works, no one can force you to. but also consider maybe not commenting on and engaging with those people's posts just to explain that you don't want to comment on/engage with their works. if you are so committed to staying quiet and being a passive consumer then commit to the bit and stop asking creative people who put way more of themselves out there than you are to pat you on the back and reassure you that you'll still keep getting free content even if you can't do so much as drop a "this was really good!" in the comments.

One drink and straight to bed, he vowed to himself.

“A water?” The barman scoffed. “The poor man’s choice, I see.”

Wally chuckled. “The choice of a man who just got here from a trip longer than you can imagine. D’ya got any rooms free up in this place or?”

The barman’s face softened, and he laughed as he went to grab a glass of water. Returning, he leaned in as he handed Wally his drinks. “We do, but tell me, have you ever been here before?”

A blush rose up his cheeks as Wally shook his head. “To be perfectly honest, I’m not even sure where ‘here’ is,” he laughed awkwardly. He suddenly felt very looked at.

“Curious.” The man pulled back, then nodded to himself. “Gotham usually doesn’t show herself to people who haven’t been here before, well, unless she has plans for you. Or so they say.”

“Gotham?” Wally blurted out, eyes widened in shock. “I can’t believe I’m actually here.” He laughed, not because he was happy, but he couldn’t help himself from laughing at his own stupidity. Of course, with all the weirdness going on around here, how didn’t he realize this sooner?

He did it. He found the no-man’s-land that was particularly starting to look like an any-man’s-land to him. The place he had been looking for all along.

“You know, there’s some rumors about-” The bartender started, then stopped dead in his sentence and looked up behind Wally. Right then, Wally felt two, strong hands clasp onto his shoulders.

“You’re in my seat.” A deep, bouldering voice said, the two goons behind him snickering loudly.

Wally looked around him and noticed the two chairs besides him had indeed come up empty. Still, he shrugged and tipped his drink back. “And I was having a really good conversation.” He shot back, not getting off the chair. “Please, do continue.”

He heard a couple “Ooh”’s and “Shit”’s and snickers behind him as the saloon fell silent. All eyes fell on him, or well, them, as Wally shrugged the hands off his shoulders and leaned forward.

“Funny, kid.” The man all but growled. The bottle in his hand -some dirt cheap brand of beer, Wally guessed- came into his view as Wally skillfully -although accidentally- dodged the bottle when he turned the bar chair around. The glass made a painful shattering noise as it came into contact with the edge of the bar, sending shards everywhere.

His attacker staggered back, the intoxication visible in how he tripped rather gracefully against one of his back-up buddies. Immediately, everyone at the bar shot up from their seats and started screaming. Some people saw this as the perfect time to throw some punches around, and Wally winced as he heard the rough sound of a cracking bone right next to him.

It all happened in the blink of an eye, the way this bar fight came to be, but now everyone was in on it. Everyone, except for Wally. Shit, had he really just started this? He frantically looked around, hoping to spot a way out of this mess he had so swiftly created. Hells, he hadn’t even been here for over ten minutes and he already-

A hand slipped around his wrist, and the strong grip pulled him out of his thoughts as fast as he was pulled out of the saloon. When the cold night’s air pushed his hair out of his eyes, his mind cleared. Loud screams and thuds against the walls and floors, although a bit more muted now, made him look at one of the windows.

What just happened?

“You’re really quite something, y’know?” An amused, cocky voice startled him fully away from whatever was happening inside the saloon now, and he traced his eyes to the figure in front of him.

x reader writers i want to support you so badly but why do you all hate women

its like you're incapable of writing an x reader fic without being like "we kissed and it was so cute 😚 AND THEN THE CANON FEMALE LOVE INTEREST GOT PUNCHED IN HER STUPID WHORE MOUTH BECAUSE SHE WAS SO ENVIOUS OF ME AND IM PRETTIER AND NICER THAN HER GRAHHHHHHHHHHH"

WHY HAVE I NOT SEEN ANYONE TALKING ABOUT THIS! I'm reading heaven offical's blessing for the first time and have reached the sandstorm scene. Xie lian tells Ruoye to "grab hold of something dependably solid"

and Ruoye grabs sang lang.

Because Sang lang was the most reliable thing in the area.

He has always been there for Xie lian, and always will be. An eternal pillar to tie himself to, more reliable than any structure or even the earth itself.

So completely and utterly dependable that Ruoye chose him over literally anything else. Because everything else dies or crumbles eventually, but sang lang will last forever. Eternally loyal to Xie lian, and Xie lian alone.

to my trans homies: if you haven't changed your gender w/ your insurance and medical providers, now is the time. i'm in the process of getting my name/gender legally changed and once it's done with my insurance, my doctor is going to prescribe my hormones as being a Cis Endocrine Problem, not a Gender Affirming Treatment. obviously this is not a perfect solution but it absolutely makes me feel safer.

my first concern with this was accessing treatment related to being trans/my agab, but from what i looked up: under current law insurance cannot deny you treatment even if it doesn't correlate to your gender in their records. barring this, things like regular gyno or prostate exams can be billed as preventative care in general, not linked to sex. i think a transmasc could get top surgery as a treatment for his Unfortunate But Cisgender Gynecomastia, but i believe that would depend on the coolness of the surgeon. i'm not sure how mammograms would be dealt w/ and i'm not sure what options a transfem could finagle for this unfortunately.

from what people have told me and stories i've heard (so take w/ a grain of salt) insurance will (currently) still cover things that don't line up with the gender in their records, but it sometimes takes back and forth, so it's best to get pre-authorized for a procedure if you are able.

but if you are going stealth... godspeed and my condolences for your unfortunate (but completely cisgender in nature) endocrine problem.

i’m just sayiiiiiiiin’ bro, there was never a world where rei thought nayuta wouldn’t be by his side as they created their ideal world, with all the struggles that came with that goal

and similarly, just as ichiro had resolved to be alone, to play the bad guy as long as he gets the means to keep his small world safe, he bonded with kuukou, who was determined to not let ichiro be alone thru all their shady shit, and was devastated when he left bc ichiro never considered kuukou wouldn’t be by his side IM JUST SAYIN

happiness is having someone comment that your writing is beautiful when you’ve been insecure to get back to writing again

Something I realized yesterday is during periods of depression (i.e. right now) my jealousy will sky rocket. Mostly because I feel like I'm losing control and that if I'm not constantly entertaining to my friends they'd leave for someone else. So in an attempt to balance my habitual clinginess I'll isolate myself and then that makes it WORSE because then I'm not talking to ANYONE and that makes it seem like my fears have been validated.

But then I realized what I was doing and reached out to several people. And whaddya know, they're still my friends even if I'm not a constant source of entertainment.

I think my point is that jealousy is a real human emotion born from insecurities, and that's okay. It's what you do with those emotions that matter. It's also completely fine for your friends to have other friends because that's just how humans work, it doesn't mean that you're not also worth the time.

You HAVE to love the moment after your phone dies and you are left hunched over the screen, your eyes deprived of the blue light to which they have grown accustomed, your mind deprived of the distraction from the horrors of your reality, to behold your own image (reverse Narcissus) in all its double-chinned, acne-scarred, chocolate-stained and cheeto-dusted glory, and horrified by who you have become, and you are full of guilt and (remorse) exhaustion, and you are (entirely, devastatingly) alone, and you blink, and you get up, and you (cry) (look in the mirror?) go plug in your phone and get some more cheetos

No, really, you have to love it. It's the law.

may i introduce you all to my favorite vs void playthrough of all time:

the sheer fkin passion this man put into reading the dialogues is so commendable. his bf voice is so peak. the adjustments he made in void's lines is like he reached deep into void's soul and pulled out the words he wished he could say. he captured the rage of a.c. so well in his voice. i've rewatched this playthrough several times over the course of last 2 years and it has yet to fail bringing me joy every single time. it's so underrated. /gen /lh
