I love when a meme gets so many steps away from its source material that it would be completely incomprehensible if I didn't know what today's date was

i love writing fanfiction bc then i get to have blorbo dreams about it. I had one the other night that it was mateo's birthday and elena was throwing him a party, and along with naomi and gabe, the other two invitees were, inexplicably, princess valentina and ash delgado

Dismantling the relationship hierarchy is not about rearranging it so that sexual and romantic relationships are devalued while QPRs become the new “more than friends.” We need to completely do away with the idea that relationships exist on a fixed hierarchy. Some people will consider friend(s) or a zucchini/QPP the most important part of their life. For some people, their most important relationship will be a sexual relationship (and not necessarily one which includes romance!). And some people will still consider their romantic partner the most important person in their life, and that’s fine too.

Just as it’s harmful to tell an aroace person that romantic and sexual relationships are the most important ones, it’s also harmful to tell an alloaro person that sex is inherently less important than romance or to tell an alloromantic aplatonic person that friendship is inherently more important than romance. There is no way to rank relationships that will not devalue the experiences of at least one group of people, nor is there any reason why we need to rank relationships in the first place.

My special talent is that I can draw connections between anything. Which is good for literary analysis but also makes me socially weird

do you ever just … picture a whole scene, a whole fanfiction in your head, you know how to place every single word of the english dictionary that you need (or your language dictionary), you know how to structure your sentences, you know just what your characters are going to say to each other and then… and then you just open microsoft word.

i honestly love elena of avalor sm like……….?? the entire premise is pretty messed up, when you think about it. like, the family’s situation with the magic time travel shenanigans and stuff? and elena being trapped in an amulet for THAT LONG?? and if you think about it, if she’d waited longer, esteban could’ve been DEAD by the time she was freed? with shuriki still in power?

anyways i call this one ‘back from the dead’ because that’s essentially what she did, tbh………😂

Remember that if you want to do more of something, you have to do less of something else. It's that time of year where people set goals for the new year and they have plans and hopes and it's always focusing on what they want to do more of. More studying, more exercise, more crafting, more socialising, more making things from scratch. Okay, great. What are you going to do less of in order to have the time and energy to do more of those things you really want to do?

If you're a writer you're supposed to write a lot of bullshit. It's part of the gig. You have to write a lot of absolute garbage in order to get to the good bits. Every once in a while you'll be like "Oh, I wish I hadn't wasted all that time writing bullshit," but that's dumb. That's exactly the same as an Olympic runner being like "Oh, I wish I hadn't wasted all that time running all those practice laps"

I wish I could have come with something more graceful, but the more I drew, the more dumb stuff I wanted to add.
