just want to say thank you for sending that ask about the dev Patel asks, I think sometimes as a white person you forget that one could say is actually quite Fetishising and hurtful. I’ll be more mindful about sending such asks in the future 🩵

Related to this ask

Hi there anon! Thank you so much for sending this and shoutout to Sarah (the OG blogger) for opening up the space for us to have this convo

I think because we've had all these white boys of the month and we're just unhinged with thirst tweets that it's easy to forget it's slightly different when we are gonna be unhinged abt performers of colour

For me personally the asks just felt like they were HYPER aware of his race which yes it's a part of him but also at the end of the day as talented and hot as he is, Dev Patel is just Some Guy

I live in a South East Asian country where I can go to town and pick out 10 guys who look like him hahaha obviously without his wonderful personality

I think my advice with thirst tweets for Dev is just admire his beauty and him as a person! Thank you again for this ask and wanting to be more mindful I really appreciate this 🥰

Being a young adult is so strange. You enter a coffee shop. The 20 year old girl waiting behind you cried all night because she just came to a new city for university and she feels so alone. That 27 year old guy over there works a job he is overqualified for, he lives with his parents and wants to move out but doesn't know what to do about it. That one 24 year old dude already has a car, a house, and a job waiting for him once he graduates thanks to his dad's connections. The 26 year old barista couldn't complete his higher education because he has to work and take care of his family. The 28 year old girl sitting next to you has no friends to go out with so she is texting her mother. That couple (both 25 years old) are married and the girl is pregnant. The 29 year old writing something on her laptop has realized that she chose the wrong major so she is trying to start all over. We are not alone in this, but we are actually so alone. Do you feel me

I’m so happy they did this song.  My stream kept stuttering so the video is dodgy but it’ll do for now.  Fixed!

tv shows with time travel organizations/bureaus/police/agencies/whatever should have a department with instead of a tech genius eating candy, it’s a harried seamstress or fashion designer who is like

“1450 italy? does it look like I have the time to dye you wool? nO. YOU’RE GOING TO THE 1980s”

and throws shoulder pads at the hapless time agent

it really fucking irritates me when a book says "content warning available on author's website" but it has now been surpassed by "scan this qr code for content warning"

1) stop assuming constant internet access for fucking books

2) don't timelock information about your books. I have ebook files that have outlasted their original publishing companies, let alone individual authors! if you want people to have x info when they read, you must put it IN THE BOOK

something about perfectionists snapping really just gets me.

I have mostly moved on from it and especially the fandom and I say mostly cos I still do read my close friends' theories and discussions and participate. That being said I think new fans of rather fans newly coming into fandom spaces have been engaging with my old discussion posts. It's been nice to see my old essays get new life. So I might wanna work on another Bton essay 👀

We'll see though, no promises.

emma woodhouse is the funniest jane austen heroine solely because she spends 95% of her precious free time shipping her friends and trying to set them up and being convinced she is the world's greatest matchmaker and talking about how great it will be once her bestie has her perfect true love and then when she's asked if she's considering getting married anytime soon she's like pfffft GOD no why the FUCK would i do that

really love dynamics that are like 'it honestly doesn't matter if you view them as romantic or platonic, the point is that they love each other. the type of love is inconsequential, all that matters is that it's there'. gotta be one of my favorite genders.

it genuinely makes me sad that “happy wife, happy life” is a phrase that means “I make my wife happy because if I don’t she’ll be annoying and fuck up my day” when it should mean “I keep my wife happy because seeing her smile genuinely makes my heart light up with mirth, I love hearing her joyful laugh, I love making her happy”
