#What if it’s us

[sweet-drmzzz]

I love noticing a theme in an author’s works

(First time New Yorker falls in love with experienced New Yorker. They New York together. They are bad at love)

this has been running around my head since I started reading infinity son

me: i really like that adam silvera book

someone else: oh which one?

me: the one written in first person?

them: which one?

me: the one with alternating perspectives?

them: which one-

me: the one with a gay main character?

them: WHICH ONE.

okay!! finished “he’s to us” by becky abertolli and adam silvera (sorry i know i spelt one of their names wrong) last week and i’ve been trying to really think of the right words for this book review, but i cant. This book has left me speechless. It has such a good touch of realism and the most unrealistic love at the same time. This book made me want to believe that love in story books are based on real life, not just something people make up to make them feel better. For me personally, this book makes me think so much about the world, and how we end up where we are and who we are with. The plot of the story and edging most definitely did NOT disappoint. The character development from the first book to the second really captures what it’s like to grow up, do lead your life into different directions. This book also depicts what it means to really be inlove with someone, and that love really isn’t something you can force. The book tells a story that shows many different kinds of love. Platonic, unrequited, true love, and family love. Something that everyone should experience in life and I loved it. It’s definitely a 5/5 in my book.

one time I used the ben affleck smoking reaction image in the family group chat and my mom replied with the funniest possible response which was: "mommy doesn't know who the guy is???" and that phrase has not left my brain since. I'll see blorbos on my dash that I don't recognize and I'll be like well it seems mommy doesn't know who the guy is.

the funniest meltdown ive ever had was in college when i got so overstimulated that i could Not speak, including over text. one of my friends was trying to talk me through it but i was solely using emojis because they were easier than trying to come up with words so he started using primarily emojis as well just to make things feel balanced. this was not the Most effective strategy... until. he tried to ask me "you okay?" but the way he chose to do that was by sending "👉🏼👌🏼❓" and i was so shocked by suddenly being asked if i was dtf that i was like WHAT???? WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY TO ME?????????? and thus was verbal again

tried to vent in a trans space about how, as a trans man who’s been on T for a long time (over 7 years now), i have noticed that the more i pass as a man, the less welcomed i am in queer spaces unless i go out of my way to feminize myself. and how that sucks! and it’s isolating!!! and it feels horrible to see ppl who used to like you and be close to you drift further and further the more masculine (& therefore more comfortable in urself) u become…

only to get ppl replying to me and saying “well if you dressed more fem then ppl wouldn’t be intimidated by you. you signed up for this”

i’m sorry but i didnt sign up for social isolation when i transitioned, i signed up for gender euphoria and comfort in myself and my life. and i had hoped that the ppl in my life would be able to see how much joy that brings me and continue to love me.

Every time I advocate for voting people are like "no you shouldn't vote! Read this literature, it'll totally change the way you view voting!" And every single time it's the same fucking "you shouldn't vote because both parties are exactly the same so it won't make a difference who wins" bullshit wrapped up in some fancy language

i do unironically think the best artists of our generation are posting to get 20 notes and 3 reblogs btw. that fanfic with like 45 kudos is some of the best stuff ever written. those OCs you carry around have some of the richest backstories and worldbuilding someone has ever seen. please do not think that reaching only a few people when you post means your art isn't worth celebrating.

I need to share how the IT guy at work greeted my department on CrowdStrike Blue Screen Friday. Never have I seen a man so shocked by the sight of perfectly functional computers
