everyone always asks how to make friends in your 20s but no one has any helpful tips that aren’t super fucking embarrassing

i’ve started calling my mom more. i’m twenty four and a half years old and i’ve never been the type to call my mom. but in these last six months, i’ve found myself calling her when things are hard. when things are blah. when i don’t know what movie i should watch. and she helps me. and maybe she didn’t help me when i was small. but maybe she didn’t know how. and she knows how now. so i’ve started calling my mom more. and i cry every single time

i’ve been CRYING over a TEXTING FIC!!!!!!!

and the author will occasionally do narrated one shots but they’re exterior pieces

BUT THE GAYS HAVE BEEN FIGHTING AND NOW THIS CHAPTER IS NARRATED

i think i’m gonna die

dude i am all for supporting writers and fanfic writers don’t deserve to be critiqued as much as writers with editors and whatever but all this to say. why are so many popular fanfics so horribly written. i had to read “it was beautiful in the way only broken things could be beautiful” with my own two eyes i hated it

Okay I was thinking about The Good Place, because of course, and I’m just so happy with the way Eleanor’s character and character development was shown. She started out sarcastic, quick witted, self confident, etc. But she was also rude and much of her confidence was unearned and she had little sympathy for others. And through the course of the show, she never lost her core personality by becoming a better person. She didn’t become this cookie cutter nice woman who was extremely polite and friendly. She didn’t become bland. She was still herself: sarcastic, quick witted, funny; she still told absurd stories from her time on earth, she was still who Chidi fell in love with, but she changed nonetheless by caring more about other people and becoming a more ethical person with Chidi’s help. The show really stayed true to the idea of people becoming the best versions of themselves. By becoming better, Eleanor didn’t become a new, non-Eleanor-y person. She was still her, but fundamentally more good hearted, and it was executed incredibly well.

Aziraphale: Did it hurt when you fell?
Crowley: From Heaven? Oh, angel I think you got it wron-
Aziraphale: No, when you fell out of the car. I watched you trip over your own feet and just lay there on the floor for ten minutes.
Crowley: I-
Aziraphale: I saw that
Anathema: We all saw that
