The key to writing good fanfiction is to harbor a deeply humiliating desire, and the trick there is that even pretty basic and societally-accepted desires like “being held” and “being wanted” CAN and WILL be humiliating if they’re intense enough. Become so estranged from human connection that the idea of someone playing with your hair fills you with yearning so deep you feel like you’re going to throw up and you will write some banger fanfiction. It might have some other consequences too but idrk about that.

Victor Frankenstein after achieving the impossible and building a fucking person from scraps of the dead: Oh god, ew, ew it's ugly! Yucky! Yucky! Gross! Ew! Ew! Yucky! Yucky! Gross! Ew!

my problem is if i enjoy something enough i will be nitpicking. i Will have things to say about where and how it failed. out of nothing but love straight from my heart. unfortunately this often makes me indistinguishable from a hater who has never experienced joy or kindness. such is the amateur critic's burden.

you're entitled to your opinion but it's stupid and bad and ill-informed and i hate you

what’s the big deal about being avoidant. like ohhhh im dodging the bullet quick everyone lets mock the bullet dodger

i can’t stand “it’s not that deep” attitudes like even if it really really isn’t that deep just PLAY WITH ME. just fucking PLAY. have a meaningless but deep analytical conversation with me. just like think about shit for fun. does anyone else like to think about stuff for fun. it’s so lonely

i love listening to MUSIC!!!!!! and imagining things happening

hot take but some feelings are actually irrational and dare i say bad and you’re better off not verbalizing them. that’s just reality. there are times in your life when you might have to sit on your feelings and keep them secret and that’s just the best option.

i think a lot of bad therapyspeak comes from the mantra that all feelings are valid and it all depends on how you act on them when “act on them” usually means “explicate them in the exact right way to another person who has no right to judge you because all feelings are valid” when in fact some feelings are disproportionate and acting on them, even explaining them, will actually come across as insane. the real problem and the thing you should work on internally or in therapy is that it sucks to have bad feelings that most normal people don’t have. i say this as a bad-feelings-haver. you have to identify the stuff that’s in the green, normal zone and the stuff that’s in the red zone and sometimes unfortunately you have to suffer through that alone
