Everytime I see posts like this I get filled with such profound sadness

Cause you know who has the same brainrot as you? The same unhinged feelings as you after you've read the fic? The person who always wants to scream about the fic with you?

THE PERSON WHO WROTE IT

I never used to leave comments but since I got into the habit of commenting on everything i enjoy it's been incredible. Especially when the author gets back to me about it and we get to have a discussion of what other ideas they had. One writer replied to my comment with a 5 paragraph essay detailing the Floorplan of the building the characters lived in and it was incredible

Anyways this is all to say that if you find a fic that just makes you want to scream from the rooftops, leave a comment saying that to the author and maybe they will join you and you can scream incoherently together

Honestly?

Fuck cringe culture.

Wear your tail. Wear your ears. Be an animal. I’m a 22 year old man who fell asleep with his realistic wolf plush yesterday because it felt like a wolf pup to me. Embrace your alterhumanity. Time goes on and you only live once in this body. Make the most of it and fuck what others think.

One of my greatest joys right now is living in an university area, where I might get lucky and see a person who seems to go to school and/or live in the apartments nearby.

This tall arse person walking around any random day in cute little skirts and schoolgirl shirts, with a headband with cat ears with little bells, some days with a tail attached to the skirt of the day. 

All while built like a brickwall.

But clearly not giving a crap about whatever anyone might think. 

It brings me such joy to see someone just being so true to themself and however they wanna present themself every day. 

This person has the blood of cringe culture on their hands. 

One of the many things I loved about living in Eugene, Oregon, was people wore whatever the fuck they liked and that was normal.  It was a kind of freedom that was really special, especially coming from a city where you were expected to dress a particular way for all sorts of things.  It was so normalized that no one really thought twice about it unless you were wearing something particularly creative and then people would sort of just cheer you on.  

Once i was hanging out late at night in an all night breakfast place near campus with a bunch of other goths and a guy came in wearing something so wild that the whole of the late night crowd on the ground floor, turned to look, then gave him spontaneous applause.

One time the owner of a restaurant gave me a discount because apparently seeing me and my collection of animal hats walk in front of their restaurant every day going to and from university was the highlight of the staff’s day

As a lesbian, it’s happened twice already that one “guy” stands out to me and I think “huh maybe they’re kinda cute and interesting, I wanna get to know them” and then I get to know them better and it’s a closeted trans girl who I somehow sniffed with my little nonbinary lesbian nose

IT JUST HAPPENED FOR A THIRD TIME!!!!

You guys will never believe what just happened to me

What does it mean if every “man” I’ve been attracted to was actually a trans woman? Idk what this says about my sexual orientation but it does mean I have astounding egg-dar

Gays being able to detect trans people of our preferred gender and being able to feel preemptive attraction to them is a phenomenon I was not aware extended to people beyond me

Soon we will be at a point as a society to use this phenomenon for wacky romantic comedies.

We have started calling me The Egg Detector because if I think a "cis man" is cute, that ain't a man, baby.

Like fucking clockwork. Six months to a year at the outside.

Love is pain. Nandor knows this.

Love is changing yourself for the other. Love is being perfect. Love is not committing any mistake. Love is not being too loud, not being too obnoxious.

Love is not getting too attached. Love is being left behind. Love is smiling even if you don't want to. Love is begging for forgiveness. Love is conditional.

That why he knows he's not in love with Guillermo.

The sex positivity of Tumblr is fucking insane to me. Any other social media site if you just state you are a woman, you will be approached in DMs by creeps trying to procure personal sexts and, failing that, make threats to make you actively scared and uncomfortable. Here though, everyone’s just like “Hey I need someone to fuck my holes pronto” and like??? Full confidence??? No creeps sneaking in from the bushes??? Like, do people not receive harassment from these? Women I know actively avoid social media presences just to not be approached sexually, and Tumblr bottoms are on their knees begging for it. It seems like such a safer and more comfortable space.

It has shocked me tbh that I feel comfortable posting sexual/horny content and it's 100% cause of this positive little community 🥺 mwah yall r angels thanks for being respectful and accepting!!!
