Fellas Is It Gay To Kiss Women

GOD FUCKING BLESS

Most classic Derin character is an academic that just fucking sucks at their job.

The only competent academic I've ever written is Smon, and that's only because she's viewed through the eyes of a tech illiterate alien whom she can only communicate with on an extremely basic level, and had no opportunity to look stupid.

Is there anything more human than assuming some part of how you see the world is fundamental to how everyone else sees the world?

Aspen assumes everyone wants to run from their problems. Specifically into space, where they'd never meet their loved ones again, nor ever tread upon their graves.

What can I say? My standards for the humanities and social sciences in science fiction are "Don't completely fuck up how people in that field act". Aspen clears that bar, and I can imagine how they got to where they are in their work. This is more than I usually get.

Working in a lab and reading so many truly bullshit published papers didn't make me jaded about a certain subset of academics at all.

im about to catsit next month for a (lovingly) crazy woman who is so deeply obsessed with her cat's care its touching truly. he needs insulin shots and she is telling me that shes going to send voice notes to my phone of her saying "copo! baby! its time for your insulin!" "come here handsome!" "its insulin time sweetie!" so that he feels safe getting his insulin from a stranger. im like girl i love it. i love this

she was telling me yesterday "sometimes i look at him and he looks at me and i feel like we can hear each other's thoughts. is that crazy" and i was like "no of course not"

My woke take, as someone who has worked in both a public library and a school library, is that we desperately need both more books that are at a higher reading level but a less mature subject matter, and more books that are at a lower reading level but a more mature subject matter, because 8 year olds who are advanced readers are still 8 year olds and don't want to read about graphic violence and torture, and teens and adults who have learning difficulties or who are just later readers for whatever reason are still teens and adults and don't want to read about Billy the Bunny going to school or whatever the hell.

the prince has begun practicing curtseying in the mirror. which could mean nothing.

we have good news and bad news, my liege. the good news is that we now know what that curtsying was about: you will be pleased to know that, after several heartfelt conversations between your child, the court jesters and a myriad of singing woodland creatures, you are now the parent of a proud and joyful new princess. the bad news is that, due to a series of events related to the dragon-sized hole in her bedchamber wall,

pretty sure you’re literally the only person who understood my vision on this accursed post

happy decade to the horrible beast i have wrought

The more violence your mutual wants to inflict on the character the more they love them

Wait why doesn't the narcissist have eyebrows

How do you think the dark empathy got in
