hi :l

the novelty of having pets really does never wear off i’ve had my cat for ten years and i still look at him strolling around like can you believe this. a cat. is everyone seeing this. he’s alive he has bones and all. unbelievable

This page is so beautiful and honestly I hope it reaches and helps any new people that are just starting out on Ao3 because it's helping me and I’ve been using the site for 5+ years now

Mutuals are a lot like cats in that you kinda have to harmlessly pester and annoy them sometimes

This is the most considerate advice for doing stretches I've ever seen??? Initially I started to go, "...but I can't do that with my knee-" then he showed a way I could do it. I was like... whoa. A video for stretching that is actually considerate towards my disabilities. Astounding and impressive.

jon is absolutely the type of person to forget his coat on his way to work and only notice when he’s clocking off. since he and elias are usually the last two to leave the building in the evenings, this leads to elias insisting almost every night that jon borrow his coat, because elias can’t very well have him catching a chill on his way home, only for jon to then be forced to undertake some kind of ritualistic walk of shame up to elias’s office every morning to give elias his coat back (alongside many assurances that it won’t happen again). (it does).

I feel like when I say ‘relatable’ what I really mean is ‘resonant.’ I don’t want characters who I feel are like me, I want characters who have emotions so strong I can feel them through the page.

I think this is important because a lot of us forget the power of stories to make us feel things about characters who are not like us, who have experienced things that we never will. The purpose of listening to someone else's story should not necessarily be identification, but understanding.

Wiiiiilde!!

guys we need a better daisy/basira ship name, no way am i having the only option be dasira when weve got lonleyeyes and teaholding already

so last year during a period of intense suicidal depression i made this necklace that i always wear, right, and the thing is it's genuinely brought me a lot of comfort and relief and i've developed a strong sentimental attachment to it, to the point that i can inarguably state that it's had a net positive effect on my mental wellbeing. however i did now just have to stop to almost throw up laughing because i realised that i've succumbed to the amulet.
