noel, very gently: "complementary."
liam: "yeh, that's it. complements each other, like the fan and the—"

Probably my most hated anti talking point is "You have to sanitise your blog that blatantly has 'Minors DNI' in the bio because some random child, who is not yours, might stumble upon your blog and ignore the blatant warning sign."
Look, if I'm in my house (or on my clearly marked adult blog) and my neighbours kid peeks in my windows (scrolls down past the "Minors DNI" in my bio), and happens to catch me fucking nasty (posting taboo 18+ content), then, no hyberbole, that's 100% on them.
Being under the age of 18 does not magically exempt you from the consequences of your actions. If you're old enough to have an unsupervised account on a social media website, then you are well old enough to know how to heed a warning sign ("Minors DNI" or "18+" or any other variation) and not, metaphorically, peep into your neighbours windows.
If you do something wrong, like peeping, or ignoring a warning sign and entering a space clearly marked not for you, then any consequences you suffer are no one's fault but yours.
It is actually 100% completely insane to expect adults to just not have adult lives simply because children exist.
the funny thing about mxtx’s ml’s is i can picture luo binghe and lan wangji alone in the same room together and i can picture hua cheng and lan wangji alone in the same room together but if i try to picture hua cheng and luo binghe alone in the same room together my mind just goes static tv like it’s not allowed
Protecting the accessibility of gender affirming surgery is BY FAR the most important aspect of this but tbh I think body modification as a whole should be a legally protected right. Aw, you don't like looking at tattoos, piercings, or unnaturally colored hair? You think it looks "unprofessional?" Well suck it up Karen it's not your body or life
is there like some common belief in Germany that makes the average person here think that if they say something in German, and I reply "English please, I don't understand", angrily and condescendingly yelling the same thing at me STILL in German will somehow make me instantly and magically fluent in their own language? Like oh I said I didn't understand what you said and if you can repeat it in English but you yelled the same thing again while pointing me at a German sign, NOW I understand everything you just said that I couldn't catch a word of a second ago, thank you! 🙄
I know this is an extremely specific request but does anyone have a teenage sapphic romcom set in a summer camp?
My aro ass is yearning for romance while at the same time missing my summer camp friends from last year (I swear we were THE found family) and I need a movie or something
having an intense moment of "why am i even putting forth all the effort to write this 30k+ word fic when only one person is going to care about it and that person already knows everything that happens" tonight (not helped by the last 30k word fic i put out getting 9 kudos and one singular comment) and trying to remind myself that i write because i like writing, because there are stories i want to tell and that even if i'm only telling them to myself it's still worthwhile
but also. it's a struggle when part of why i write and post things is because i want to connect with other people through telling stories and making them feel things the way the stories i read make me feel things, and when there's no evidence that people connect with the things i write....ugh. it gets to feeling pointless
i know. i know. and i won't let depression or anxiety prevent me from doing one of the only hobbies i still can participate in, and the creative outlet i've had for years. tonight is just...being very ugh about it. maybe because the scene i'm working on is being very tricky and a struggle to get through right now and i only have the aforementioned one single person to hype it.
whenever me and my therapist talk about how other people perceive me she always says there's nothing negative, only that i come across as "distanced and slightly cold" (hard to translate the german term but it's not negative) which okay anna sure, if i am so nice then why did 99% of the people who interacted with me ended up contributing to my trauma???
like of course i'm fucking distanced and cold now, i don't want anyone to do that shit to me again. everyone wanted me to be like this so i would stop bothering them, so they could try to forget about my horrible existence that was so unbearable it made them try to erase it.
