There also needs to be a button for “this is the 5000th time I’ve read your fic because I’m having a horrible day and this is the only thing in the world that always brings me happiness.”

people take "drug seeking is a nonsense framework" to mean that like, no one ever lies to get drugs in medical contexts which is just categorically untrue but the question they don't bother to ask themselves is "why do people feel the need to lie to get drugs?" which leads into the further question of "why would someone abuse stimulants/opioids/etc" which is like. i feel like kinda the major question one should ask no. why do people do drugs. what reasons might someone have to lie. why do we exist in a system in which people feel the only way to make decisions with their own body is to lie to medical professionals.

drug seeking is a nonsense framework not because people don't ever lie to get drugs for recreational use or whatever but because people shouldn't have to go through medical hoops to get drugs period. regardless of if for recreational use or otherwise.

The most obsession inducing trait a character can have for me is knowing somewhere in their heart That They Are A Bad Kid

This isn't necessarily literal. It can apply to characters who aren't children too. But there's something about characters who are either certain of the fact, or terrified of the possibility, that they are just fundamentally wrong and bad at their core

It is also important to me that it is not true. No one is fundamentally broken and evil.

I like to think that in a No Astrophage AU, Grace is letting Simon crash in his place for a while (because of circumstances, we move on) and one day he's at work and Simon is cleaning around when he hears the door open. And he's like "Ryland is at work, it's gotta be an intruder" because of course. So he grabs the nearest weapon-ish thing he can and rushes to the kitchen to find fucking.

i headcannon that ryland only likes the stem of the broccoli and colt only likes the tree of the broccoli, so they will eat what they like and just give the other part to their twin

imagine if you will that you grow up with an abusive father and then he dies because your older brother killed him and now he's in jail forever but then he supposedly dies in said jail and you get sent to a foster home and then you finally have a great job but you break your back and go no contact with everyone for 1.5 years but when that's all finally resolved your twin brother is shot off to space forever. hi i'm colt seavers and this is my story
