Whenever I drew Connie with a single dandelion behind his ear this scene was playing in my head like wii channel music.

Longtail with 15!

I am a good person. I am a powerful person. I don't believe in evil. I think that evil is an idea created by others to avoid dealing with their own nature. I understand my own nature. Good and evil have nothing to do with it. I understand myself. I control myself. I control everything within myself. My domain is my domain. I can lie on my back and affect the lives of those I love without moving a finger. But I would only affect them in good ways. I don't waste time on evil. I'm a good person. Is this thing on? Do you know about Jesus? Do you really know? All you know is what you've been told. Listen with your heart. Sing with your heart. You've just been singing about girls. What do you know about girls? Fuck... Why are you so tense?

Upon Turning 25, a Small Nervous Breakdown

by Megan Williams

I thought marriage, by now, my love, a little house, our vegetable garden growing beautiful, green, rich with vines & I thought weekend getaways, friends always popping by, dinner parties, 2.a.m whispers about all the good years ahead of us & I thought about my own thoughts, unburdened, happy elevator music, self-hatred resolved like a 90s sitcom & I thought at least taxes might make sense, 401ks too, maybe I'd even remember when an oil change is due without Dad's reminder & I thought this black certainty of my own uselessness might evaporate like spilled beer (which I still hate) & I thought this birthday, a quarter century alive, might finally quiet my greed for more — more pink candles, more iMessage confetti, more Mom cooing pretty girl, more chocolate cake, more assurance that I matter, god damnit, that I am worth celebrating even without the love, the little house, the vegetable garden, just me alone, the most stubborn weed, my stupid face turned toward the sun.

Meanwhile, the UN - an organization with some branches that openly support Hamas and the Iranian regime - agreed to exclude women and women’s rights from a key UN conference at the Taliban’s request.

If we needed more proof that this organization is no better than its predecessor the Society of Nations, there we have it.

Let's Go Rob The Vatican

So, I was delighted to discover that the Shivadh Romances were nominated for Yuletide this year!

I managed to find the Yuletide Letter from the person who nominated it, and while they got a fill for one of their other fandoms I still thought it would be fun to write a little something in the vein of what they wanted. :)

Title: Let's Go Rob The Vatican

Rating: Gen

Summary: Noah and Ephraim go to Rome to represent the royal family; Noah gets a lot of art history, and Ephraim takes a few steps outside his comfort zone.

She can take me (not in a fight) (it's negotiable)

if Sydney and Carmen's dynamic was purely platonic there wouldn't be this much awkwardness and tension between these two. Do you see how she interacts with Marcus vs how she interacts with Carmen?

The difference is so very clear and I won't go into detail about it because we all see it. There is so much tension between these two. It's a different kind of tension

Not to mention this...

and this

and this

and this

AND THIS

I'm a therapist. We have to be intuitive. We have to know people and their motivations through observing them, how they behave, what they say. I mean it's all right there in this dynamic. I'm typically not one to go this hard over fictional characters but I hate the feeling of being tricked on...Sure they can be friends. They respect each other yes, but

THEY ARE ALSO IN LOVE WITH EACH OTHER STOP THIS TORTURE. STOP THIS MADNESS. PEOPLE WHO KEEP SAYING IT'S PLATONIC NEED TO LOOK IN THE MIRROR AND ASK YOURSELF DO I REALLY BELIEVE THIS BECAUSE IT'S OBVIOUSLY PLATONIC OR DO I BELIEVE THIS BECAUSE I DON'T THINK (EITHER CONCIOUSLY OR SUBCONCIOUSLY), THIS BLACK WOMAN DESERVES TO BE WITH THE OTHER MAIN PROTAGONIST, THE HOT WHITE GUY?
