Today is me and my gfs 1 year anniversary!! And it made me realize that time flies when you're in love, when you're happy.

I was in 2 abusive relationships back to back a few years ago. I was only with each of them for 2 months. But it was the longest 4 months of my life. Every day felt long and painful. I thought it would never end.

I'm incredibly grateful to now be with someone who treats me well and truly loves me.

Characters who were raised by wolves but somehow still learn how to speak and act human despite of having spent the key developing years without human contact are both unrealistic and frankly kind of boring and overdone by now. Imagine a character team where one of them is a (somewhat) realistic raised-by-wildlife grown feral child, and the other one is essentially a glorified handler, who manages all the people-business for both of them.

And the companion is the only other human person that the feral one trusts in any way at all. Better yet, make them clearly be romantically involved with each other. Like

"Wait, she's your wife? ...Uh, with all due respect, but can she like... Can she even consent?" "Look lad. I respect you being worried for her welfare and for being direct about that instead of circlin' around so I'm gonna be straight about it right back at you: She's bigger than me, stronger than me, and frankly, I don't think she spent much time wondering whether I'm consenting."

And going into those people's SAFE SPACE to say that shit? GET THE FUCK OUT!!! YOU DONT BELONG HERE!!

deadass saw a cis guy in a transmasc subreddit commenting "I have nothing against trans people, binary or nonbinary, simply for them being trans, but you need be better than this." "Like, no wonder there's transphobic memes" THE FUCK?? who let this guy in?🙄🤦🏻‍♂️

If you have to start your sentence with "I don't have anything against *insert minority*" and then follow it up with a "but..." then I already know you're about to say some fucked shit. You're not an ally, and claiming to be one is pointless when you say harmful shit like shit.

When I was 16, I saw a trans man openly talking about his name change with a former coworker at Kohl's, and that was kind of magical to me. :)

What if I royally fuck up my characters life? Destroy all hope for happiness and make all the progress he's made meaningless? Then I'll wrap it up, put a bow on it, and serve it to you like a nice gift. And you'll tear into it, all excited and giddy. A little bittersweet because you know its ending, but you're glad your favorite character is finally going to be happy. But then you read it and oh- Your heart drops into your stomach. You feel ill. What? That's not right. This can't be- You're frantically flipping through the pages! You must've missed something! This can't be the end, right!? But it says it's the last chapter? And it sure felt final. But I would never do that to you, right? It must be some kind of prank. Well, it is a prank. The prank is that you've been waiting for a happy ending this whole time, and you're not gonna get one! There was never a happy ending tag, you naive little bafoon! And now you hate me. You're crying, and I'm laughing. Maniacally, I might add. Because I did it. The plot twist of the century. I've already cried all my tears when I wrote it. And now I will revel in my readers' despair. Because I made you feel something, right? Well, then I've done my job.

I could never believe in eugenics because such an overwhelming majority of the people I know are perfectly sensible if not downright brilliantly smart, and were also birthed and raised by some of the dumbest fucking people I have ever heard of.

If you mess up a social interaction you can say "Failed Experiment" and move on

So last month I got hit by a car and died right. Which I didn't initially realize until I watched some guy haul my body into his pickup and drive off. Which, being that it's deep in rural Michigan, I assume means my body will make some venison jerky and maybe some wall decoration, and I'll be resigned to being one of hundreds of deer ghosts floating around Saginaw, which is w/e. But then I find out the guy works at a taxidermy shop or something, and he's actually pretty good at stuffing and mounting deer carcasses, which I come to find out when I find myself face to face with my old body in the shop window. So naturally, I figure since ghosts need to possess something to interact with the living world and etc etc etc the most logical thing to do is to possess my own body, since it's basically a statue of myself. And a little surprisingly, it actually fits like a glove. Like, since it's my body, it feels like stepping right back into place. So I get out of town and back to my herd, eventually. And that's where the trouble starts coming into it, because after I get settled again, I don't know how to explain to everyone else what feels so weird. Like since I can move my body and do everything I used to do, it's functionally the same, like nothing happened. Or it SHOULD be, so I don't know how to explain how it's NOT. But it's just hard to explain it to someone who's never been hit by a truck I guess
