Continuously telling myself that my heart is good, that the way I love will be celebrated one day rather than tolerated, that one day someone will come along who will meet me exactly where I am and in all the ways I need without making me feel like it’s wrong to ask for that.
Continuously telling myself that my heart is good even if someone didn’t know how to hold it well, that for the right people I am not too much, that what I have to say is welcomed with a listening ear even when I’m irrational and overly emotional.
Continuously telling myself my heart is good, with a hand clutched to my chest, I am good I am good I am good, echoing with its beating. I will tell myself my heart is good I am good I am not too much for someone who has the space for me.
I am good my heart is good. I do not have to be hard I do not need to make myself small I do not have to clutch my heart so tight it aches with all the love left unexpressed. My heart is good and one day the goodness in my heart will feel safe enough to be held by hands other than my own.

have been reading fic & thinking abt my relationship to fic, which is of course also among other things a mirror of my relationship to my own psyche, and like—i think all the discourse abt its being ~internalized misogyny~ to mostly/entirely read m/m is not ultimately, whatever the truth of it, all that helpful, either to readers or to Women! but of course that doesn't stop me from feeling weird guilt abt the fact that i don't read more f/f than i do, because if there's anything i love to do, it's feel unhelpfully bad abt myself on the slimmest of pretexts…
however! i did end up reading some f/f earlier, specifically transfem f/f, and it got me thinking—basically what i'm usually mostly reading fic for is the romance/sex, right? like, don't get me wrong, i love when a fic gives me a gorgeous double helix of, like, casefic and romance twisted together, that's ideal, but fundamentally most of the time the feeling up is what i sat down at the table to eat. so in a complex aegosexual way it's a fantasy i'm—not projecting onto, exactly, i don't want to be one of the people in it; but, like, lurking in the wings of with eyes big love-crumbs, to steal a phrase from a relevantly-named poet. :) and so it's no wonder that mostly i don't want to read cisfemme4cisfemme stuff, because that's not a dynamic that feels like it has any room for me, or even like i'm particularly welcome in the room. but like. if it's trans women? i'm there, i love that for them and for me. if there's a butch? i might get tripped up by our differing lenses on gender feelings and stub my toe a little but even so i'm probably here for it. (thinking here abt that one butch/femme geraskier ~cisswap which is, like, a gorgeous bruise i keep periodically pressing. <3)
so really it's just like. shocker: i'm not personally moved by fantasies abt romance which feature conventionally feminine cis women whom i don't personally find relatable or sexually desirable! and when i put it like that, it really instantly dissolves the weird useless discourse-induced guiltgunk. like. give me a woman who's, idk, tall and charismatic and strong and clever and talented at something (though honestly it's like that siken revised tweet, a lot of those characteristics are ultimately negotiable!), like women i've historically crushed on irl, and then give me a pairing for her that's like. another woman who's also enough of those things, or a man who's—honestly the kind of m/f i'm open to would be its own whole post bc holy shit am i fussy, it very much does exist but for now let's just stick a pin in that one—or somebody nonbinary, which… idk that i've ever actually seen nb/f in fic? i'm sure it exists! but i'm not sure it exists in any fandoms i've been into. pondering the question did get me really thirsty for a good 'farmgirl (of the luke skywalker variety) is absolutely stunned-and-ringing-like-a-struck-bell captivated by confident flamboyantly genderqueer love interest (example wanted)' dynamic, though…

Sam Spade vs Philip Marlowe
Learn the difference:
Both
Iconic hard-boiled detectives from the 30-40ies
Drink and smoke waaay too much for one human being
Sharp, tough boys
Smartasses, too snarky for their own good
Don’t get along with the police
Lone wolves
Played by Bogart in movie adaptations
Sam Spade
Created by Dashiell Hammet, hero of the Maltese Falcon and other short stories
Smooth, charming, polite
Almost always in control
Keeps his head cool, a little cold
The third-person narration hides most of his thoughts and emotions to the reader
You’re not so sure about his morals (or if he has some) before the end
Solves the case even if there wasn’t really a case to begin with
Straight, sort of loves one (1) woman
Dashiell Hammet's style is cold, precise, eloquent yet simple, perfect
Philip Marlowe
Created by Raymond Chandler (fan of Hammet), figures in many novels and short stories
Begrudgingly stuck with morals
Has more compassion and emotions than he wishes
Heartbroken and tired
Worst luck ever
Gives very few fucks about what people thinks about him, including his clients
Homophobic repressed bi disaster; will thirst after any bad woman or man in his way, might fall in love with troubled women or men who are kinda nice to him
The first-person narration will show each of his thoughts in detail to the reader
Overpowered, outnumbered, constantly beaten up, drugged and/or kidnapped by half the city in every novel
Solves the case even if 50% of the characters die before the end and himself barely survives
Chandler's style is messy and should not work but will actually haunt you
In an actual fight: Marlowe would have the biggest crush on Spade, so Sam would win. Hope that clears things up.
