the allergy i am seeing grow up around small talk in any form is troubling to me. do you know how to make friends with people in your physical environment? it typically starts with small talk. do you want to live in community? small talk. do you want to have the type of relationship with your neighbors where you can run over and borrow a battery for your smoke detector when it starts beeping at 10pm? small talk!! do you want leeway from your coworkers when you fuck up something small? you gotta be able to build a relationship and that's small talk, baybeee.
"but i don't need friends and i don't care about community!" okay, lone ranger, what about the people in your community who need you? "but i have social anxiety!" me too, bud! we simply must soldier on. making up lists of questions to ask people helps. and people are predisposed to be generous, i've found. even if you make some kind of mistake, what is this but the natural give and take of human interaction? nobody is perfect.
you were not put on this earth to live by yourself and then die. you need people and people need you. treat those around you with curiosity and generousness of spirit and you will gain so much goodwill in return.

living in Boston while being a fan of Greater Boston is so funny sometimes. this weekend i was on a food tour in the North End for a friend's birthday, and in between restaurants, our guide was pointing out filming locations used in various Ben Affleck movies and also described Matt Damon as Affleck's "very good friend — no, his best friend" and i had to take a reality check for a moment.

I'm pleased to inform you that the wait is over! Here is CHAPTER TWO of For Everything
Chapters: 2/
Fandom: Spider-Man: Spider-Verse (Sony Animated Movies)
Rating: Mature Warnings: Graphic Depictions Of Violence, Major Character Death Relationships: Miles Morales/Gwen Stacy | Spider-Gwen Summary:
~Perhaps they were meant for each other. It was written in the stars—stars meant to burn out in their all at once powerful surge. Stars meant to fall. Bright, burning and then gone. And in its sudden demise, no one would even remember it was once there, lost in the infinity of severed constellations.
That was the way of the universe. That was the way it had to be.~
Alternatively: Gwen Stacy is doomed but Miles Morales’ love might save her.
Please feel free to reblog to support and share my work!

I can’t believe it, I thought the euphoric brothers were better than this. I’m so tired of the “bury your gays” trope in media, so to see them kill off one of the only gay characters in their series is heartbreaking 💔

Chapitre 202 - The Distorted Wish
Splash text: Those soaring wings with the power to go anywhere
What image did they paint upon the boy's eyes...?
OH I -
WATANUKI AS THE DESCENDANT OF THE CLOW LEGACY
WATANUKI FILLING IN AS THE HEIR LAVA LAMP WAS
Watanuki being born into a world as the heir to a bloodline where he technically didn’t exist, but at the same time he exists now, and he’s always been the heir as long as he’s existed.
And he doesn’t even know! He doesn’t even know who his family is or who Lava Lamp is to him or that they care for him so deeply! He doesn’t know where he came from or why he exists and for a while he was scared that he didn’t actually exist at all, just a dream destined to fade away.
And he almost was, but now he’s so much more than that, and it’s the love of everyone around him that keeps him firmly planted in reality.
I JUST HAVE SO MANY FEELINGS ABOUT WATANUKI OK.
Watanuki in the garden of Yuuko’s house, wearing Clow Reed’s cloak.
Watanuki having all these people fight to have him here at all.
Watanuki as proof that mistakes are not just mistakes and even accidents can be vitally important to everyone they touch.
Watanuki as living proof of what love is, and what love can create, and what love can sustain.
