Why is the ww1 so perfectly Gansey??? I'm deadd

stereotypes about people “really interested in WWI” are wildly different than stereotypes about people “really interested in WWII”

My schedule was new chapter every 6 months... I'm currently behind schedule...

“How’s your WIP going?”

"Have you made any progress?”

“How close are you to being done?”

Even even better: Reading fanfic

Best fucken thing: REreading fanfic

Ao3 is actually massively culturally important and very very good at being what it is. I’m so serious when I say that ao3 needs to be protected as the anti censorship, by fans for fans, nonprofit, volunteer run, expertly designed archival site that it is. You don’t have to read or like fanfiction to understand that on principle, ao3 is a site that should be defended.

Still waiting for my dragon tbh....

Saw a post making fun of Asexuals in the year of our Good Vibes 2022 so a reminder:

The A stands for the Asexual community and spectrum (it also represents the Aromantic, and Agender communities but I’m Asexual so I’ll be talking about that specifically in this post)

Celibacy is a choice to abstain from sex. Asexuality is a sexuality defined by a lack of sexual attraction to anyone, not by the choice to abstain from sex.

Every asexual person has different feelings on sex (an activity, not an attraction) - some are sex repulsed, some are sex neutral, and some are sex positive. A physically pleasurable experience is not equal to an attraction to parties involved.

The Asexual community has been around since the dawn of the Queer liberation movement, and Asexual individuals have always existed.

Aphobia is real and has done tangible harm to Asexual people. Listen to and learn from their experiences.

If you make fun of Asexuals and their community jokes (dragons/cakes/cards) you are Aphobic. If you’re Asexual and you make fun of these aspects of your own community or consider them ‘cringe’ you have internalized Aphobia.

Sometimes teenagers and young people will identify as Asexual and change their label later in life. This does not mean that all young people who identify as Asexual will change their minds, nor does it mean that all people who identify as Asexual are young.

Seriously what do you people have against the dragons and cake jokes those are classic and hilarious please deconstruct why you have so much rage for harmless jokes that’s not a healthy response to silliness.

Anyways reblog this post if you’re Asexual, support Asexuals, or really want a dragon.

More late night fanart sketches....

Rereading the Moorehawke trilogy soo FUCKENN GOOODDD

My five fav things about this series

1. Set in fantasy medieval Ireland but has a really global non eurocentric view of things....

2. The main characters talk about contraceptives before having sex and the male character takes responsibility for safe sex and promotes sex education and free choice and that good feminism boi shit

3. The two main love interests do the fake dating trope but are fake married for reasons but then are like Ehhh Good Enough .. and that's it they are married fir the rest of the story...

4. Nomadic Irish pagan tribes *blows kiss* bueautifulll

5. A lot of the story is character driven and like about small moments between character and often unspoken gestures or acts of trust, friendship and devotion...

Sooo yeah I'm a bit obsessed...

Also fun fact i first read these when i was like 12 forgot about then for 13yrs then literally spent 15hrs+ trying find out what they were called.... AND YOU KNOW WHAT CRACKED IT?? I suddenly remembered this character yelling out that he needs to take a shit in Gaelic.... so yeah
