somewhere deep in the replies of the dread astrology post there's someone who sincerely asked me how I even know what my own personality traits are if I haven't done introspection with the help of an astrology chart and I really think about that all the time. they presented it like such a gotcha. seemed genuinely certain they were asking s totally reasonable question. absolutely no awareness of the implications of why a structured system of prescribed personality traits might appeal to people with a particularly weak sense of self.

reminder that pain is pain. comparing it with others serves no purpose. no one’s pain is greater or lesser. different things affect different people differently. it is unfair to compare pain assuming that everyone lives their life in a parallel way.

i do appreciate the way that we tumblr users have evolved our language to discuss our feelings related to The Character/The Guy. you used to have to just say he was hot or he was making your ovaries explode or he was a precious cinnamon roll even if he looked bad or was just kind of standing there or whatever. now you can say things like “the creature” or “he looks so sopping wet here” or “i want to chain him to my radiator” like it’s just more inclusive and adaptable to the situation

We already started doing it with "rawdogging". We should keep going.
