i literally feel like im going to be sick trying not to laugh at this at my desk like i feel faint

There’s no such thing as work-life balance for neurodivergent & chronically ill people.

This is because everything in my life requires work:

maintaining friendships

keeping up with my hygiene

managing bills

making money

remembering my basic needs

sleeping regularly

outputting creatively

All requires some aspect of work for me.

And when everything in your life requires work, your balance goes out the window.

If you're neurodivergent and overwhelmed — I see you.

If you're chronically ill and overwhelmed — I see you.

You're not dysfunctional.

You're not incapable.

You're doing your best.

rest in peace to the poor grad student who just sent me a message on discord from our english club who saw my name change to “certified twink collector”

[taciturnpoet]

thank you for the tag <33

last song: chill - stray kids

favorite color - black or forest green my loves

currently watching - actually nothing right now??? i’m watching Bottoms for the first time tonight but i’m not actually in the middle of anything rn

sweet/spicy/savory - savory or sweet most of the time, definitely depends on my mood

relationship status - been with my partner for six months now as of this last monday!! :D

current obsessions - hozier, d&d, and a horror story i’m working on lol

no pressure tags: @pineapple-coffee @sevyn-stars and whoever else wants to :)

A tag game! I was tagged by @inflammatory thank you so much this was very fun! (I know I say this at the end of the post but I'm very sorry if I tagged you against your will, I get so scared) Last song: It was, when I first saw this, Don’t Want To Know If You Are Lonely by Hüsker Dü, but at time of writing it’s Christian Brothers by Heatmiser/Elliott Smith

Favourite colour: I don’t know and this has plagued me for a long time. I’m going to say either the colour of a Polar Blue PRS Silver Sky, or a navy blue that’s so dark it’s almost black, like the sort of colour I’d use to paint a night sky in Year 7.

Currently watching: I haven’t been watching a lot for the past week or so but on a slightly wider timeframe, Rushmore and Ferris Bueller’s Day Off.

Spicy/savoury/sweet: Spicy in a heartbeat. Dreaming of wasabi peanuts as we speak

Relationship status: Never once before in my life but I have what, three different crushes at the moment? Too busy on the guitar grind to think much about them though

Current obsession: The Sandman comic. Making playlists (my March playlist is almost 8hrs long and I am so pleased with every single song on it). Benevolent Wikipedia editing. Neglecting schoolwork. Iced matcha. And of course the insatiable investigations of music history. Also obsessed with playing This Charming Man on guitar

No pressure tags, I always get scared tagging so I hope you don't mind: @danexist @finch-kid @martitheevans @beachghoulz @strangebrew and all the other mutuals I didn't mention for being deeply scared, and anyone else who wants to join !!

CGW 2024?

it's that time of year again where i'm (potentially) planning this event. so: DPS & chrisginny fans, let me know!

reblog to boost! <3

[taciturnpoet]

i need y’alls thoughts. i’m planning on writing fics for other fandoms as well as dead poets, but do i make a pseud on ao3 for each fandom so they’re mildly organized that way or just say fuck it and upload them all to the same account?

[taciturnpoet]

not to get people’s hopes up too high but…i’m on break for a week and have the inspiration to actually write some of my longer fics 👀

I keep seeing people making fun of using growled, hissed, roared, snarled etc in writing and it’s like.

have you never heard someone speak with the gravel in their voice when they get angry? Because that’s what a growl is.

Have you never heard someone sharply whisper something through the thin space of their teeth? Or when your mother sharply told you to stop it in public as a kid when you were acting up/being too loud? Because that’s what a hiss is.

Have you never heard a man get so blackout angry that their voice BOOMS through the house? Because that’s what a roar is.

Have you never seen someone bare their teeth while talking to accentuate their frustration or anger while speaking with a vicious tone? Because that’s what snarling is.

It’s not meant to be a literal animal noise. For the love of god, not every description is literal. I get some people are genuinely confused, but also some of these people are genuinely unimaginative as fuck.

if you’ve noticed my tendency to be a lil more loosey goosey and/or off the fuckin walls here compared to my others socials there’s a reason for that. and the reason is this is the only place my mother does not actively seek out my content.

this hellsite is my final frontier and my only hope.

I admit I am quite the fan of saying “okiedokie”

[taciturnpoet]

literally no better feeling than blurting out some loud dumbass joke with your buddies and hearing a total stranger ugly-snort-laugh as they walk past bc their own laughter caught them by surprise. find joy and connection in the spontaneity of strangers you son of a bitch. i fucking got your ass

[taciturnpoet]

i don’t wanna start handing out writing advice like im an authority on the subject bc im definitely not, buuuut

as a reader/writer, ive noticed there’s a whole lot of difference between a plot twist that makes you think “i didn’t see that coming” and a plot twist that makes you sit bolt upright in bed and scream at the top of your lungs “OH FUCK I SHOULDVE SEEN THAT COMING”

not to say the second one is better but. the second one is better

REBLOG IF YOUR BLOG IS A SAFE SPACE FOR AROMANTIC PEOPLE AND IF YOU THINK THEY ARE VALID

I want to see how many people actually are willing to say this and not just act like it
