if you can't be unafraid, be afraid and happy.

god 1410 ilya is literally so lit up inside. he’s so so endlessly charmed by shane’s huffy little face when he pretends to leave after getting off and he is so fucking smug satisfied at the payoff of putting his big body over shane’s to soothe the sting and say you think i am asshole? and shane says i KNOW you’re an asshole. and ilya gets to say i would not leave you like that. even though he’s an asshole and shane knows he’s an asshole. because shane likes it so much tooooooo 🤩

"i ate too many cookies" is truly an ageless problem. an unlearnable lesson.

my 100% failproof way to handle reactionaries asking why i don’t shave at all is going “because i don’t want to” it works because what they really want is an argument about the merits of feminism, and they’ll draw it out and try to convince you it’s a cult or whatever, but you can avoid it all by sticking to “i just don’t wanna. don’t feel like it” and if they argue with you about it you can use your ultimate ability, which is “i’m sorry i thought it was a free country?” which, believe me, they cannot come back from. they’ll either drop it or start harping on something you didn’t say, and it’s important you don’t take the bait at that point. when they can’t argue with what you say, they assume your beliefs and attack those. and you crucially must be visibly baffled at their change of direction because it will make them seem and possibly feel crazy (which they are). “i don’t want to shave” is a perfect response because truly it all comes down to autonomy and the ability to do what you want. they’ll try to say “feminism makes you think you have to do that” and it’s important to not take that bait. to reiterate that you don’t know what they mean and you just don’t like shaving and that it’s really weird to look into it that deep. this works i promise

humiliating to be attracted to a conventionally attractive person. I thought I was a more sensitive and refined pervert than this

tumblr user Anonymous has been saying some very rude things to various bloggers for many years now

Real thing that changed how i write: I started asking "what does this character think is wrong with them" and separately "what is actually wrong with them." Those two things are almost never the same. She thinks she's too much. She's actually terrified of being too little. He thinks he's bad at commitment. He's actually just never met someone he trusted enough. The gap between their diagnosis of themselves and the real thing, that's your character arc right there. you don't have to explain it. just write both.

ocd will have me thinking i cant text "here now if you wanna head over" because i sound like blowjob mario with a walkie talkie
