ain, 27, QUASI-HIATUS. was a hq blog for a while and then slid back into multifandom so honestly idk what's going on here anymore. he/they. i will post nsfw (including bdsm and kink), tagged only if explicit.
Also I think that a lot of people currently involved in the backlash to early 2000s/10s nerd culture are not quite grasping how often "nerd" (and similar terms) were/are softer versions of autist/r-slur/gay freak/etc.
the whole “i used to be a teen who hated authority only to grow up to become the authority that hates teens” is a bad bad thing that practically every other generation has fallen into and we all need to make an extremely conscious effort not to repeat the fucking pattern
in my experience nobody stops having a favorite animal when they grow up but people DO stop asking. well now i'm asking. what's everyone's favorite animal mine is the noble manatee
Pairing: Jean & Jeremy (Pre-relationship)
Tags: Slice of Life, USC Trojans, Roommates, Fluff
Summary:
“I’d rather wear bright orange,” Jean says.
Jeremy laughs. “Well, we can’t let anyone think you’re a Foxes fan, so I guess I’ll let you off the hook.”
or
Jean becomes more comfortable with his roommates (and maybe with himself too).
absolute fave flavor of interaction is when someone is like "go to therapy" as an insult bc someone wrote some weird fic or drew some slightly icky fetish art and the artist is like "i actually am in therapy and my therapist encourage this form of self expression!" and the original commenter is like "well your therapist should lose their license"
like sorry ms "chaos gremlin terfs dni" that you have to learn that the goal of therapy isn't conformity this way. have you tried getting therapy about it.
