Fairyland all around us

Oh this piece made it to tumblr radar apparently? Thank you!!!

i really fuck with it when my oomfs start their posts in media res. they'll open it with a phrase like "it's just funny because..." and then i look at their blog to see what's funny and. nothing.

It's like how Beowulf opens with a call to attention.

posting is exactly like beowulf

"It's ok to disappoint people." has got to be MOST powerful, life changing advice I have ever heard.

If your gut reaction to this is "no it's not" I swear, I promise, that disappointing people, particularly disappointing people who have unrealistic, outdated, manipulative, or just plain wrong expectations of you, or versions of you in their head, is better than continually disappointing yourself. Signed, an inveterate people pleaser who FINALLY realized this and made my life almost immediately more authentic and fulfilling by acting upon it.

Hey, to everyone in the replies talking about how polycules and living with your friends are the answer to this problem, I see your points but also my point is you shouldn't *have to* live with *anyone* in order to survive. Living in big groups with your friends and in polycules is awesome and should be more normalized and easily attainable, but also it should never be required. People should make enough money by themselves to pay rent or buy a house. People should have wider community support systems that let them thrive even if they don't have a partner or a group to live with. We shouldn't be financially incentivizing a very particular way of living. People are going to continue to be left behind if we punish living by yourself.

you ok babe? you've barely blasted your baja...

Two deer. Not just one. Two of them made this mistake
