I passed by a thrift store the other day with a quietly Scooby-Doo themed display for Halloween:

“If you have time to watch Netflix you have time for a side hustle” my side hustle is relaxing so that my body and brain can heal from by this nose-to-the-grindstone bullshit. I refuse to feel guilty for being a human with the need to relax sometimes. my side hustle is no.

something i've never truly reflected on about being in the ace spectrum is the feeling of absolute relief of discovering that it exists and you are truly not alone. its the feeling of "oooh... so that is a thing. that people are. and i... might be too? there is a NAME for it?"

i spent so long struggling to fit in but knowing in my heart that i was just pretending... so finding out that other people (real people!!! they exist!!!! they are out there too) feel what i feel (or in that case, lack these so-called feelings society claims to be the source of true happiness - lol) has been like taking a long deep breath after being underwater for too long.

so i'm here to tell you too. you are not alone. i understand you. i am like you. and we keep each other strong. we got this. yeah?

He needs a list. So: Things he knows right now.

One. He's attracted to Henry. Two. He wants to kiss Henry again. Three. He has maybe wanted to kiss Henry for a while. As in, probably this whole time.

I hope Andre knew how much joy he brought all of us 🥺❤️

Edit: Statement from Mike Schur and Dan Goor - “Like everyone who was fortunate enough to know Andre, we are heartbroken by the news of his passing. He was one of the most talented dramatic actors in history, and then he decided to try comedy, and he was instantly one of the funniest people ever to do it,” read the statement. “But even greater than his acting talent was the happiness and joy he brought to those around him. And his smile… he had the greatest, brightest, most wonderful smile. Our thoughts and love go to his beautiful, amazing family, whom he loved more than anything. We are grateful for the time we had with him.”

Edit 2: Statements from Joel and Joe 😭

Rest in Peace, Andre Braugher.

'It's a private airstrip, but it's still risky, so he folds Henry in a hug and whispers fiercely, "I completely fucking love you."'

I highly appreciate the "happy ending" tag on angst fics, dark fics, etc. Its existence increases the probability of me reading by a significant amount

but some people are like "why even read those fics if you already know how they're gonna end?"

Well, it's kinda like going on a roller-coaster. I wanna experience the ride. The ups and the downs, the twists and turns. But I also wanna know that at the end, it'll come to a safe stop and I'll be able to get off of it completely unharmed

I don’t know which fic writer needs to hear this but it’s unreasonable to expect of yourself to write all the story ideas that your mind comes up with. That’s not how creativity works! Unless you’re some kind of Productivity Georg that types at a laptop keyboard all day long, your mind just needs to rotate ideas and concepts like a room full of rotisserie chicken production lines. Some of them will end up being fully written, some of them will end up being 4 lines, some of them will be concepts inside a long list of fic ideas that will never get written, some of them will just fade. And that’s okay! You don’t have to beat yourself up for having a lot of ideas you don’t write, or a lot of wips you write a few lines or pages of and never finish. You wouldn’t expect an illustrator to just churn out full-ass paintings all the time, an artist will also just make sketches, line art, warm-up exercises, will just scribble some lines on a piece of paper. Your ideas and wips are just the same thing: warm-up sketches, exercises in creativity. And it’s also okay if you never really produce full fics, as long as your brain enjoys the exercise. Jogging across the neighborhood is not useless unless you win a marathon! It gives you endophins and strengthens your muscles and is healthy for you all around, right? Your fic ideas and pile of wips are the jogging. They give your brain the happy chemicals and exercise your creative muscles. You are not a failure for not turning your ideas into finished products. That’s just how it works.
