I know some fic writers get stressed about writing tropes they think are too popular or overdone, and I need you all to know that I just spent 4 hours reading every iteration of the same exact fic plot I could find, and they all brought me an indescribable amount of joy. Listen. Listen. Sometimes you want cakes of many flavours and sometimes you want Nine Carrot Cakes

Maybe if he was a little less fuckable we wouldn’t be in this mess

the worst is wanting to create and create and create but being trapped in a body that is so so so so tired

None of them are gonna be physically violent

The Reddit users are going to judge you if you express any religious or “unscientific” sentiment

The Catholics run the gamut from “hardcore pro-lifer” to “Nun who invented communism”

The Protestants have brought lots of food but are going to proselytize the entire time you eat

The crystalists are split 60/40 on whether or not vaccines cause autism, and you don’t know who has the majority until you’ve been there an hour

The Anglophiles have good pastries, but 1/3 of them are in Sherlock cosplay

The girlbosses are all within 10° to the left of the center of the political spectrum and will try very hard to get you to invest in their MLM

The vegans brought food but will turn hostile if you let slip that you’ve used animal products in the last year

The reenactors have booze, but your phone is dead and they’re giving a very pro-America history lecture

The influencers have a pool, a jacuzzi, and lots of drugs, but they have a combined net worth that teaches seven digits and won’t let you forget it

The retirees have great weed but they’re gonna ask you a lot of invasive questions and give you a lot of unsolicited advice.

What if I don't want to leave Texas? The only option for LGBT+ southerners should not be, "Just move somewhere else."

I don't have any attachment to "somewhere else". I don't have a community "somewhere else". I have to start from scratch "somewhere else", and that should not be my only option. That should not be the option people in big, northern, liberal cities give me whenever I talk about the political climate in the south.

I want to make the south safe for me and mine, not abandon it entirely. This is my home. These are my roots. We should be focused on making these places better, not writing them off as a lost cause.

*Gatsby voice* Good round today, old sport

It's important to slap your partner on the ass and say good game after sex. Sportsmanship is a dying virtue.

you must know... surely, you must know it was all for you. you are too generous to trifle with me. i believe you spoke with my aunt last night, and it has taught me to hope as i’d scarcely allowed myself before. if your feelings are still what they were last april, tell me so at once...my affections and wishes have not changed. but, one word from you will silence me forever. if...however, your feelings have changed, i will have to tell you: you have bewitched me, body and soul, and i love, i love, i love you. i never wish to be parted from you from this day on.
