"Well, it’s that time again. I mark mid-summer by the sharing of this photo on its anniversary. This photo has spent six years circulating in the internet’s many corners and in the stories of people who have both found new relationships and/or ended friendships. 2017, New York, I was invited to a track-by-track celebration of Carly Rae Jepsen's EMOTION, where each writer was assigned one song to give a presentation on. I wanted "Warm Blood" but picked too late and got "Your Type," and made a presentation on my phone on the plane, but this was the only slide, and I read a long thing about desire, and about that thin veil between realizing you like someone and realizing you LIKE someone, about falling in love with friends, about being platonically in love with friends, about treating platonic love with the same generosity and rigor as romantic love. But mostly about the bravery of Big Declarations Of Emotion. Because of the nature of the party, and the fact that this photo has circulated for years without context, I think it has led to more Big Declarations Of Emotion than anything, and I don't mind that, I suppose. I still get people, to this day, telling me they were at this event or they've seen this photo and that they were inspired to tell someone they were in love with them. It feels especially exciting to share this year, in a year where I’ve gotten to be the most excited witness to my friends and their fluorescent joys. Marriages, new houses, new kids, their bravery and openness with the world. Being an audience to that makes me bold in my capacity for love, for care. We ascend to better versions of ourselves through our love for each other, and that is romance. The best kind. The results are sometimes mixed, I’ve heard. They always are. If you told a friend you love them and things got weird, I apologize. but to be fair, I wanted Warm Blood. As I say every year, there are so many ways to fall for someone. If you are at the edge of the cliff anyway, consider taking the leap. The ground might be soft enough to hold you and whatever comes next, and if it isn't there will always be more cliffs, more edges."

idk i just wanna bite fem!jordan's cheeks.. and their collarbone..... is it weird? i don't really care
this is all that needs to be said i wanna be on their lap nawing on their neck while they run a soothing hand down my back like "easy, baby. m'not going anywhere." jesus fuck. they encourage your neediness too, ringed hands gripping the fat of your ass to rock you into their lap as you mouth at their throat and shoulders like a little vampire. you're so fucking cute when you get worked up like that, and all they did was show up to your dorm fresh from the gym with their skin flushed from sweat. didn't even get a chance to shower before you were pawing at them and crawling on top to nip and suck at their collerbone. by the time they work a hand into your panties, you're soaked and they can fuck you so easy. all because you're a slut who can't contain herself.

buck getting home sopping wet and traumatised and collapsing on his uncomfortable ass couch and natalia just not understanding that he doesn't want to get into the nitty gritty details right now and his clothes are sticking to him and all his limbs hurt and bobby and athena almost died and he's just fucking tired and he tries to be patient and he knows she's not doing it to be malicious but given his past history he just decides he can't do any of it anymore he can't do the relationship he can't do the couch he's too long-limbed to fit onto and he breaks up with her and goes to the only place he feels safe—

sci let's say you could right, like it had to happen, if you could date either Peter, Wade or Nate, but the other two get heartbroken and are miserable. Who would you chose? you get to date and marry one of them, but it means the other two have to live in misery.
i'd marry nate (wade and peter can live in misery together)

Maybe a unpopular opinion, but it feels like half of the wardens don't get as much love as the other half.
