if you ever find yourself thinking “wow I scraped the bottom of the barrel with my energy with that and came out okay!” that’s the devil talking. you did not come out okay. you borrowed energy from the future. you will repay it if you don’t rest and replenish the borrowed energy first.

Please stop getting angry at people because they take you at your word.

If you tell someone to leave you alone, then it isn't fair to get upset when they do that. They shouldn't be expected to read your mind and know this truly means that you don't want them to. We talk so much about respecting boundaries, and often get upset at people when we say something that could be perceived as a boundary and they follow it. It is not fair to test someone like this.

If you tell someone that you're fine and don't need anything, then it isn't fair to get upset at people when they don't read your mind to know that that isn't the case. A lot of us have so much going on in our own lives and I need to be able to trust my loved ones to be honest if they need or want something from me. Guessing games are exhausting.

Please just say what you mean. When we don't do that, if often hurts your loved ones and you.

The history of Nazis holding rallies in left-wing areas of Weimar Germany, instigating street fights, and then telling the press that only they could save Germany from the "violent communists" seems like an important thing for people to be studying right now.

I finished reading The Lord of the Rings for the first time in my life. With all of *vague gesture at everything* this going on.

Unreliable narrators are one hell of an idea. You can just write whatever, and if a reader points out "hey the way this scene happened should not be physically possible if it's done the way this character described it", you can just be like "yeah I don't trust that fucker either."

Ok, loves, so we've all got the message that joking about suicide is bad for your mental health. Now we need to get on "joking that the planet/all of humanity has no future is bad for societal health/encouraging resistance to bad shit."

’cold showers are actually much better for you’ I don’t care if they gave me the power to manipulate time. you can pry scorching hot showers out of my dead hands. and even if I got time manipulation powers I would just use them to take more hot showers. btw

When you accidentally say the q word (quest) and your knight starts gently clanking from their happy wiggles like now you've done it, you have to send them into the dragon's lair or their helmet ploom will droop and they'll start waxing sad poetic in the moonlight
