"I think it could be important, Father. The next sins I want to confess are of that nature - I'd feel more comfortable doing so if I knew that you weren't a total stranger to those feelings. Can you help me: assure me that I'm not uniquely wicked in this way?"  But oh, the man sounded wicked. His words were whispered against the screen; Harry could see the outline of his full lips pressed against it.

Dedicated to the the amazing fic and writer "In Perfect Unity" by evaleon70 /@i-dream-of-libraries. Please go check out this tasty story if you haven't yet!!!

In Perfect Unity by evaleon70 Rating: Explicit Summary: Harry has just begun his work as the only Priest in a small town when a man comes to confessional one night and traps Harry in the booth with him. Only, it becomes clear rather quickly that this isn't a man - it's his childhood friend and first love, Tom Riddle - who has somehow become a demon. Tom can no longer control his lifelong obsession with Harry and has come to claim him at last.

Happy birthday @404sketches !! I like this coffee-fueled creature very relatable

So. Everyone who yelled at me yesterday for making a ramble on Reynie going blank and then not resolving it, this is for you: (@lemondropletters, you have been tagged)

Also, it's in a Google Doc because it was definitely too long for a Tumblr post, and ~~I don't know how AO3 works~~

The (vague) premise is that, instead of Constance seeing Curtain's broadcast, they all get to the compound mentally sound, but once there, they split up to look for Mr. Benedict, and instead Reynie finds Curtain. This is the wrap up of what would have happened in the last episode.

"Fangs!"

I have made a decision! Mama and Yinu both have reptile elements to them now along with the plant elements! (Thanks to Yinu's maternal Grandpa)

[alphatalecomic]

Haha. Well. I meant to have the next Alphatale page done before the new year, but I haven't even gotten the backgrounds. All I have are excuses, and only a handful are legitimate. For anyone going "Oh it's fine, I'm sure you have good reasons!", I appreciate you, and I want to make clear that this isn't a matter of being unnecessarily pressured by myself or an audience. This is a very personal story to me that I really want to share, so I'm just disappointed I didn't make the time for it.

I don't have any news or promises to do better in the future, but for anyone who's been actively reading/waiting, Thank You. I felt you deserved an update, as minimal as it is right now. 💛

Why are British teenage girls so unhappy? Here’s the answer (Caitlin Moran, The Times, Sep 13 2024)

"The report, by the Children’s Society, found that British 15-year-old girls are the most unhappy in Europe.

British girls aged 10-15 are “significantly less happy” with their life, appearance, family and school than the average boy — and their happiness is still declining.

Boys’ life satisfaction, meanwhile, remains broadly stable. (…)

But I still didn’t have an “aha!” moment about why this so disproportionately affects girls until… I talked to some teenage girls.

It was at a party, and I went to vape with them on the patio. Because I take my nicotine like children do.

“Duh — it’s the boys,” one said when I brought it up, as all the others agreed.

“The boys?” I asked.

My last book, What About Men?, had been all about how much boys struggle these days: their loneliness; their suicide rates. I��d spent the past year feeling very sympathetic towards boys.

“Yeah, well, who do you think they’re taking out their unhappiness on? It’s us,” another girl said.

“One boy at school used to draw a picture every day of how ugly I was,” a third girl said. “Every day for two years.”

“They’ve all got ‘Rate The Girls’ polls on their WhatsApps,” the first said. “They mark you down for weight gain, haircuts, what you say.”

“But then, if you’re hot, it’s just as bad, in a different way, because they’ll be talking about how they want to f*** you.”

The girls discussed coping techniques. Bad news: none of them worked.

“The only way you can stop them is if you become ‘one of the boys’ and hang out with them. But then,” the second girl said with a sigh, “all the other girls call you a slut. Because you’ve gone over to the boys’ side.”

“Surely it’s not all the boys?” I said. “There must be some nice boys?”

“Oh, yeah,” one girl said. “But they keep their heads down. Because… well, look.”

She showed me the Instagram account of her friend. Under every picture she posted of herself — smiling in a new dress; with her dog — dozens of anonymous accounts had replied with the most rank abuse.

“Fat.” “Slut.” “You gonna try and kill yourself again, for attention?”

“They’re all boys from her school,” she said. “And look, this one boy tried to defend her.”

I saw a series of messages from a brave teenage boy, posting things like, “You’re all big men, leaving these replies under anonymous accounts.”

As I could see, this boy immediately became a target too. Mainly accusations that he was “white knighting” this girl: “You wanna f*** her, bro?”

“So,” I asked, “you don’t think it’s social media pressure to be beautiful, or the economy, that’s making girls so sad?”

“Well, yeah, them too,” the first girl said. “But, Monday-Friday, 9-3, I’m not on social media. I’m not… in the economy. I’m just with these boys. And no one talks about how horrible they are.”

I thought about another recent report, showing a 30 per cent ideological gap between Gen Z men, who are increasingly conservative, and Gen Z women, who are increasingly progressive.

I thought about Andrew Tate, who has nine million mostly young male followers — and faces human trafficking charges, which he denies.

And I thought: maybe these girls are on to something. Maybe more people need to vape with teenage girls and ask them for the school gossip."
