Im gunna cry this is spectacular
Not to sound like a fuckin hippie but please for the love of god start noticing and appreciating the natural world around you. You don’t have to go hike the entire Appalachian trail or anything and I get that not everyone has access to the outdoors for various reasons, but just fucking … look around you when you’re outside. Notice the sky and the sun and the birds and creatures. Start caring about them. I’m begging you.
I know ppl go wild for king/knight and king/jester relationship dynamics on this website but I do want to pitch: knight/jester. Loyal warrior who's not been known to suffer fools and the fool who wants nothing more than to be suffered by them, working under the same leige. Think about it and get back to me
yesssssss the sunshine one and the grumpy one
Playing hide and seek
This pride month y’all have got to offset your doomposting with some gay fun you’ve had. And if you haven’t had any gay fun then you need to stop doomposting and work on that. I know we’re descending into fascism and there’s always kink at pride discourse and threats of violence and actual violence and hollow corporate allyship. But I only have so much room for that in my brain. I want to hear about the party you went to or the guy you met at the bar or the girl who strapped you within an inch of your life or hell the new clothes you bought. I as a gay person on the gay people website should NOT have to dread the gay month
As someone who is unrepentantly ~wild and zany~ it feels strange to admit that being stereotyped as ~wild and zany~ is a major insecurity. It always made me feel like shit when I was younger and my social groups would assign each other archetypal roles or character associations and I would indelibly be pigeonholed as The Kooky One. It wasn’t that I was offended to be perceived as eccentric—it just felt like, in Pip’s words, other people assigned their own inability to or disinterest in understanding me as a static trait that I possess.
I know full well that I’m weird, often flamboyantly so, and in such a way that I can be extremely offputting to people with more restrained personalities. But I have interiority! I have depth of feeling! I still value the regard of others! It stings to realize that someone is not willing to even attempt to reciprocate empathy because their perception of me is flattened into a caricature of impenetrable kookiness.
Like yeah man I can see why I annoy the shit out of you but if impulsive Dracula impressions, some odd statements, and moonwalking down the IKEA lighting aisle are all it takes for you to stop seeing someone as fully human or deserving of basic respect, I think maybe we both have insufferable personalities.
To be clear, I don’t mean this in an ableism way—I don’t NOT mean it in an ableism way, but also I resent the implication that odd behavior must be explained by diagnosable medical conditions before those displaying it are deserving of empathy. Just a pet peeve in the way we talk about neurodivergence on this webbed site.
oh hey, you made it be words.

best advice i ever got as a writer was to pick a hobby that i hated more than writing and stick with it. i’m a runner now and it’s miserable and i Hate It and writing is so lovely in comparison. bonus: i’m in excellent shape and running gives you a lot of time to think about writing. i’ve solved a lot of plot complications while running.
This is such funny advice. Writing is so excruciating, you gotta take up Self Torture so that writing feels like a fun little break 😭
Are you struggling with being a writer? Well Have You Tried Poison Testing As A Hobby,
“how’s the writing going?” i’m glad you asked! my room has never been cleaner and i’ve decided to take up baking
“how’s the cleaning going?” thanks for checking in! I’ve written four chapters :)
"Why don't people recognize Link in TOTK" bc everyone imagines the legendary swordsman to be built like Ganondorf and Link doesn't bother correcting anyone bc being hailed as a hero is like on the bottom of his priorities, which are topped by things like "Bake one of every pie"
Rando farmer: They say that once the noble hero of legend passed by this very village! Isn't that wonderful to imagine, genderfluid stranger?
Link, 5'6" with 2" heels and wearing a backless dress suspiciously stained with blood: no yeah that's wild
You know what? I believe that you can finish your writing project. I believe you can update your fic. I believe you can work on your WIP. I don't care if you think it's cringy or bad. I don't care if we've never met or interacted in our whole lives. I believe in you. Keep going - you've got this.
Why did they let Stannis Baratheon do the finger heart thing in his photo op with the nights watch
i think as adults it's our responsibility to be nice to kids and treat them with the respect we wish we got at that age and im not kidding or exaggerating in the least

The scent rolled over him.
He looked up.
Overhead, a lilac tree was in bloom.
He stared.
Damn! Damn! Damn! Every year he forgot. Well, no. He never forgot. He just put the memories away, like old silverware that you didn’t want to tarnish. And every year they came back, sharp and sparkling, and stabbed him in the heart.

How the fuck did I lose 15% of my body weight but still have high cholesterol?!
What's that poem about the cockroach and the moth where the cockroach is like "I wish I've ever wanted anything the way that moth wanted to burn itself up in that lantern" because we had to read that in high school and it still fucks me up to this day
Ok I found it it's called "the lesson of the moth by archy" and it's by Don Marquis
