fe3h nonsense

writing historical fiction will make you google things like “when we’re towels invented?” “how much did a towel cost in American in 1885?” “historical average number of towels owned per household”

I’ll use a word or idiom and then be like “no, that seems pretty modern” and start googling its etymological origins and fall down a rabbit hole for several hours

I’ll start googling about the general area the story is based in and what was going on around there at that time. and then become transfixed by the juiciest small town drama of the 19th century. anyway. it’s about the journey.

Chapter 2 is out now! Read here 📖

one thing i need to start living by is “become the thing that you want” if i want friends who throw themed parties maybe i should start throwing those parties. if i want someone who writes me love letters maybe i should start writing letters for the people i love. if i want to hang out at museums and pretty cafes maybe i should invite my friends to these places. and maybe even then i won’t find the kind of people i want to be around. but then i would have become the exact person i want to be around. and maybe that’s good enough.

and also, because a scary high amount of asexual teens force themselves into awful sexual situations and abusive relationships because they think there is something wrong with them and maybe we could make it so they didn’t do that

Reblogging this because it’s so damn important.

It’s just as important for non-asexuals to understand that lack of sexual attraction is real and valid.
