“People are inherently terrible” no!!! Have you ever seen a child wait for their friend while they tie their shoelaces? Have you ever known someone who would bring hurt squirrels and rabbits and mice to the nearest vet just so it doesn’t suffer? Have you seen someone grieve? Have you ever read something that hit your heart like a freight train? Have you looked at the stars and felt an unexplainable joy? Have you ever baked bread? Have you shared a meal with a friend? Have you not seen it? All the love? All the good? I know it’s hard to see sometimes, I know there’s pain everywhere. But look, there’s a child helping another up after a hard fall. Look, there’s someone giving their umbrella to a stranger. Look, there’s someone admiring the spring flowers. Look, there’s good, there’s good, there’s good. Look!!!!

thinking about how armand was turned bc he was dying from being stabbed by a scorned grown man who was in love with him. he nearly died from rejecting unwanted advances. its such a key explicit detail of his origin that teaches him yet again that what he wants is utterly unimportant and even deadly in the face of survival. everything about his character is informed by the fact that he adapts entirely to the situation he is forced into because that's the only way he can survive. he adopts the satanic doctrine for 200 years not because he believes in it but because he knows that is the only way he'll survive and as soon as lestat arrives he knows he can abandon it. for half a millenium he believes he can't get what he wants and also survive, he has to choose one or the other. God.

lately i've just been thinking so much about bakugou with a kid in sports, like. you're at the softball game and have to hold his hand the entire time to stop him from doing an aggressively whispered "fuck yeah!" and fistpump every time your daughter makes it to another base without getting tagged. and if she does get out, he's the first, and loudest, one to call "horseshit!!!!"
every other game the coach is pulling you aside to have a serious conversation about "sportsmanship", and even though he's the offender, katsuki is long gone, off on the field, carrying your daughter out on his shoulders while LOUDLY commending her for "squashing those nerds".

What should you give the Blue-faced Honeyeater (Entomyzon cyanotis) if it knocks on your door this Halloween? Besides honey, it also enjoys bananas—so much so that it’s nicknamed the “banana bird” for its reputation of eating ripe bananas from farms. But you likely won’t see this bird in your neighborhood; it inhabits forests and woodlands in parts of northern and eastern Australia. When feeding on nectar, it uses its bristle-covered tongue to quickly and efficiently soak up the sweet stuff!

Saffron and Honey - How Should I Know You?
Hey it's pride month in my city! We're weird!
It's so students can enjoy it I guess I don't know.
Anyways, I'm celebrating with a coupon for my book. It just launched with a super fun reading and I'm still glowing about it.
Saffron and Honey - HSIKY? is a novel starring...
Ravi Beausoleil - a clinically doomed, bi-sapphic, masc, nonbinary chemical science postgrad with a grim, nihilistic vision for their future
Nicole Doyle - a couch-crashing, towering femme beauty and exiled faerie-in-disguise with a dark, dark history and a guilt complex the size of a mountain, who refuses to let Ravi wither away before their time
Felicity Vicente - a meddling, book-excavating archaeology postgrad and old unrequited highschool crush of Ravi's, who can't stand to let her toxically-beloved bestie be exploited by a mysteriously seemingly magical couch-crashing parasite
