I think my favourite thing about tumblr mutuals is how it lets me really lean in to loving people in the simplest of ways

And by that I mean - I don't really know my mutuals extremely well, for the most part. I know pieces of them - maybe a name, maybe about their pets, or what area of the world they live in, or what fandoms they like, or little things they love about the world. Maybe about their sorrows, too. But little things. Things that feel ok to share on an open platform.

But they're still my beloved mutuals. And I still love them. So I get to leave nice little messages, or tell them that I love what they're writing, or send condolences in their replies when something hard happens. I can try and make this person who I don't really know that well smile, or feel a little bit loved, so why wouldn't I try?

And my mutuals do the same for me! I get tagged in posts, or people send me asks for an ask meme, or like the silly things I post. Little bits of love sent my way all the time.

I dunno. I just love that this platform lets us try and make people's day just a little bit brighter, simply by knowing that someone out there, halfway across the world, is smiling at you and wishing you well and sending you love through frog pictures or fandom gifs. Thats all.

Sleepy Dialogue

Waking up in the morning

  1. "Good morning, my love."
  2. "Do we really have to get up?"
  3. "I've just had the best dream."
  4. "Did you know that you talk in your sleep?"
  5. "Sorry, I didn't want to wake you."
  6. "Love the hair."
  7. "Did you dream about me."
  8. "Go back to sleep, I'll fight off the monsters."
  9. "No, don't let the light in."
  10. "Just five more minutes..."
  11. "You were much nicer in my dreams."
  12. "Come back, the bed's cold without you."
  13. "Good morning, sleepyhead."
  14. "I had a really bed dream. And it seemed so real."
  15. "You definitely needed the sleep."
  16. "No, don't get up."
  17. "I didn't know you were such a cuddler."
  18. "You're adorable like this."
  19. "Can we stay like this just for a minute longer?"
  20. "It was nice... not sleeping alone."

Going to bed at night

  1. "No, I'm not even tired yet!"
  2. "You're not making much sense anymore."
  3. "We should probably get you in bed."
  4. "You're definitely yawning too much to not be tired."
  5. "Can you carry me to the bed?"
  6. "Will you dream of me?"
  7. "Just put your head on my shoulder."
  8. "You're allowed to cuddle me like a teddy bear."
  9. "Come on, let's go to bed."
  10. "You're about to fall asleep on your feet."
  11. "But I need your smell to fall asleep."
  12. "Ok, it's time for bed."
  13. "Will you stay with me?"
  14. "I'll see you in my dreams."
  15. "Your eyes are barely open anymore."
  16. "The monsters can't get you when I'm here."
  17. "Hey, I'm not your pillow."
  18. "Do you want to keep the light on?"
  19. "Your voice is so calming."
  20. "Good night, my love."

well see it can do the work of the colon, the semicolon, or the parenthesis with more speed and less formality than any of these, plus you can use it to capture the stream-of-consciousness effect of a comma splice with much less loss of clarity. sort of an all-purpose punctuation for the casual yet elaborate written construct.

I really hope everyone reblogging this followed the link and read the article, because it’s larger point is really good “Reproductive health and childbirth is a crutch, and Lucas gets away with it because his audience accepts that these things are mysterious and cannot be intervened with the way that that the loss of limbs can be remedied with robot prosthetics, or the way Luke can be rescued from near-death on Hoth by being submerged in a bacta tank. Having babies is worse than being mauled by a wampa ice creature or being chopped up by lightsabers and falling into a river of lava. Lucas can write a world like that, and worse, the audience will accept it. But uteruses aren’t made of malignant magic. Women’s bodies are real physical things that can be studied and understood and when necessary, cured. ”

IDK about everyone else, but I’ve actually been certified as a doula and childbirth educator and worked in women’s health media for most of a decade.  All points valid, but “Help me OB-GYN Kenobi” broke me.
