Strong-looking vulnerable men......Strong-looking vulnerable men.

You know the type. Big hands, big shoulders, could probably bench-press a car, but the moment they sit down, they look like they’re carrying the weight of the whole damn universe. Eyes that are just a little too soft for a face that sharp. Like, are you okay? Do you need a hug? Do you want to cry into my arms for three hours?

They look like they could destroy you, but deep down, you know they'd rather let themselves break first. What is it about them? Why do they look like they could hold you together when they’re clearly held together with duct tape and desperation? It’s unhinged. It’s unfair. I want to fix them. Or maybe I want to fall apart with them. I don’t even know anymore.

I love them so much they make me lose myself

AAAAAAHHHHHH

when your stomach is really mad at you and you're not sure which one of your fourteen unhealthy lifestyle choices is causing it

You're a traveler who stumbles upon a hidden society that appears to be a true utopia. No crime, no oppression, no poverty, only peace, and joy. The people are genuinely kind. And yet you can’t shake the feeling that something must be wrong. The twist? There is no catch. It really is a utopia.

i wish i could remember who made the recommendation to "make a list of all the different ways someone could feel about a topic in your fictional setting and then make each of them a character" because it is a great technique and is also extremely fun

in fanfiction we must sometimes ask ourselves not if he would do that but under what conditions would he would do that

Because not everyone knows about it, this is just a reminder of spoon theory:

You start off the day with only so many spoons in your drawer. And doing tasks takes spoons. Getting out of bed, brushing your teeth, going to work or school, making art, spending time with loved ones, everything takes spoons.

And if you are disabled or injured or mentally ill, you often have less spoons than society assumes. Your spoons are in the sink because washing them takes energy (spoons) you don't have.

It's okay to not be able to get everything done and to prioritize or deprioritize tasks so you can live a bearable (or even joyful!!) life. Managing your spoons is difficult and you don't have to be perfect at it.

i actually need to know people's thoughts on this because at least in my experience the answer to this has drastically changed since i was on tumblr in the 2010s and its driving me fucking insane

*im talking about fandom takes specifically. not someone being horribly evil about a real-life issue or or blatantly factually incorrect. literally just harmless fandom disagreements or differing interpretations of a text/character/etc.

my only complaint is that the paws appear when you boop someone and not when someone boops you. I want to be scrolling and minding my own business and suddenly get whapped by a cat paw

2 genres of fanfiction:

1) put that guy into situations

2) take that guy OUT of situations for the love of GOD let them REST
