I hate ruminating on what could have been. Out here thinking "if only I locked in when I was 13" are we serious

have you guys ever seen a crocodile with its fingies out

(girl who is already extremely private) i think i need to Move In More Silence

some of you don’t seem to realize that In the clearing stands a boxer and a fighter by his trade and he carries the reminders of every glove that laid him down or cut him till he cried out in his anger and his shame "I am leaving, I am leaving" but the fighter still remains

i don't know how to say this without being all 'kids these days' BUT kids do seem more sheltered nowadays regarding reading. all the kids' chapter books are called something like 'sir poops-a-lot and the massive fart' and people are absolutely vehement that a teenager can't read wicked because of its (nonexistent) smut and on threads right now people are seriously having a debate about whether 12 year olds can read ya books. when i was in year seven reading flowers in the attic was a rite of passage and now people are afraid of preteens knowing about the existence of sex.

Remember when joining fandom as a younger person meant lurking for a bit and figuring out the vibe and etiquette instead of coming in on day one and calling people weirdos for liking weirdo shit in the weirdo factory.

some people treat romantic love like it’s the only meaningful thing life has to offer and that’s so weird to me.. there’s so much more out there

I'm not saying it's not important etc etc but to treat it like it's the ultimate purpose of life is just very sad to me idk

i love being single except every few months when i want to be loved so bad that it eats me alive and makes me physically ill for two weeks but like the rest of the time im chill

my general opinion on what people should be "allowed" to portray and what topics they should be "allowed" to explore in fiction is that you can make whatever art with whatever themes you want but i'm also allowed to think the way you handled it was tasteless and should've been done differently. my negative opinion on your handling of sensitive topics is the price of admission for publicly showcasing your work. this is not a pro-censorship stance because i am not The Government

The main problem with modern criticism is that instead of questioning how well an author/artist handled a controversial topic, we have critics questioning whether the topic should be brought up at all.

sometimes you just gotta go "man i actually don't give a shit" and keep scrolling. online survival skill 101
