brace yourself

in fanfiction we must sometimes ask ourselves not if he would do that but under what conditions would he would do that

If I keep practicing I might even be a person soon

annabeth really is so incredibly romantic. like baking the blue cupcake for percy's birthday. being unable to resist showing affection even in crowds, not caring that she's making a scene. her favorite color is her boyfriend's eye color like are you kidding me with this . if that's not the most sentimental thing i've ever heard in my life!

So much peace to be found in realizing that social interactions are inherently “awkward.” People will always talk over each other or pause in a conversation or run dry for topics at times. It does not mean you’re uniquely horrible or that you don’t know how to socialize. I think it’s the way you react to it (either with anxiety or with nonchalance) that actually dictates how much weight it has. But even the most charming, most extroverted person on this earth has those momentary lapses that I think scares anxious (me included) people so much

every time two male characters that the fandom ships don’t get together people say “we thought we were, for once, getting good rep” and every time I’m like. It is 2025. There are gay people on tv. Why are you going “for once.” “For once” watch Queer As Folk or Torchwood or Schitt’s Creek or Our Flag Means Death or Black Sails or, notably on tumblr these days, Heated Rivalry, and maybe you’ll calm down. Not even naming the canon gay characters people consider bad rep like Glee. If you were willing to care about women or experience non-TV media there are some more even!

And I’m not saying not to criticize the writing choices, if the gay characters are treated narratively different from their straight peers or not given the same weight or story focus or The Gay One is the only one to not find their True Love in high school and is the only one whose arc is about learning that it’s okay to not have your feelings reciprocated etc., then absolutely criticize those writing choices. If you’re sick of seeing the “gay high schooler has unrequited crush on straight best friend” plot then that’s fine and I get that. My point is just, every time I see this, people act like this was their one and only chance to finally see a gay person on TV. And every time I’m like buddy, this isn’t even your only chance to see a gay person on Stranger Things.
