#not about me

I’m on the 1-2k chapter defense squad now. Y’all need to stop judging authors for writing short chapters.

The fact that they updated at all? For free?? And managed to write more than two words?? Readers can be a little more grateful.

5-10k weekly chapters are nice, but not routinely achievable for someone with a job/work or family/school etc.

Need an edit of that one manga panel so it says

'Enough about my anti-ship past,

let's talk about my siscon future'

Having sex so hot it sets off the sprinklers in my apartment

I will never understand how people can be so disconnected from the fact that all life is somehow connected, that they feel comfortable to write death threats or other things to someone online because they're angry at something the person said.

Words have meanings and actions have consequences and there's a real living person on the other screen.

Not everyone sees "kys" and shrugs and goes "Hah, yeah right *deletes ask*", there are rejection sensitive people out there who had no harmful intentions and actually thought they did something good! One sentence from you and they're shaking for the rest of the day because it hit them completely unprepared!

This is something you can't blacklist or trigger tag, and therefore it ALWAYS hits you unprepared!

And you never know how the person reacts, you never know if they're rejection sensitive or don't care about your comment. You never know if they have severe depression and low self-esteem or if they think "Well of course they didn't mean it that way, this is just an expression of frustration, nothing more."

You never know!

Like, I regularly struggle with extreme anger, but I don't make it someone else's problem. That's immature af. Of course being angry isn't bad and you should never feel bad for being angry, that's counterproductive as well. But... Find other coping mechanisms that don't make your anger other people's problems.

That actually was one of the first things I learned in therapy as a kid, you don't even need therapy for that from a certain age on. And for some reason there are adults who still don't understand this basic thing.

"It's so crazy I met my partner on this website"

You met your last five partners on this website, you left them all for someone on this website, you'll leave your current partner for someone on this website, at some point it stops being crazy and starts being your MO

Thesis stuff under the cut

Found this random article that just transcribed a ton of j*lian beef and apparently his 20s was just talking about how close he was to killing himself all the time. Everyone, contemporaries and historians alike, dance around the issue or worse treats it as a funny silly hypocrisy and this random Scandinavian historian is like "here's the box with his suicide note"

I don't know who needs to hear this but you deserve love. You deserve to be respected. You are not guilty for what has been done to you. It's okay to feel and express negative emotions. You deserve a love that makes you feel safe.

I loved you. By the gods, that is the worst part of it. I loved you, and I love you still. I may not forgive you and certainly can never trust you again, but I will never be able to forget you nor raise a hand against you, no matter how I wish I could excise you from my heart.

Very interesting when people try to be "passive aggressive" in unfollowing someone so that the person sees that somebody unfollowed, checks their followers, and realises it's this one person, then asking themself if they did something wrong, etc.

This works if you have, idk, up to 50 followers maybe. Maybe less. But trust me, if you'd unfollow me, I would realise that somebody unfollowed, but I wouldn't know who it was. It's impossible to keep track. If we were mutuals, maybe at some point I'd realise that you don't appear in my notes anymore and then I'd check, but only then. Unfollowing someone as a form of communication simply doesn't work. 🤦🏻‍♀️

I normally don't post things like this on here, but I'd really like to bring attention to the recent shooting that left five people dead and many more injured at Club Q, a gay bar in Colorado Springs. I know that many people when confronted with a tragedy like this ask "well what can I do? How can I help?" The simple answer is that there are now families planning and paying for funerals, people with medical bills that are only further adding to the tragedy they experienced. Please, even if you can't afford to donate, take the time to share this post so that more people can be made aware of these fundraisers and more support can be shown to the grieving families and friends of the people who died, and to those who were injured. Even something that small can help.

The Colorado Healing Fund activated a fund to support victims of the Club Q tragedy. The donation link is: coloradogives.org/organization/COHealingFund.
