#and that’s okay.

[stuckinapril]

Was sitting cross-legged on the ground applying my mascara last night when I finally. Mind body and soul. Let go of the whole “we COULD’VE been” mentality that has haunted me all my life. Like for the past month I’ve pretty much been stuck on this one boy bc “we could’ve been really cute” “we could’ve been something” actually no we couldn’t have been bc I don’t even know him that well and the version of him in my head doesn’t exist and it’s just time to let go of that (and of every other time I’ve extrapolated my own fantasies to someone, friend or crush or otherwise). If we actually could’ve been, then we would be. But we are not. Next .

#my control freak nature always comes in w these situations bc I’m always like well if I’d done something differently #no. wrong. stop it #we cannot control whole ppl to be who we want them to be #and that’s okay. #thank god for laufey and kali uchis bc they’ve been carrying me through this lately #p

I used to read a lot of really really dark sad whump fics pretty much exclusively. Characters getting absolutely mentally and physically annihilated in the worst, most soul-crushing circumstances possible. Lots of hurt no comfort. Lots of apocalypses. Over the past five or six years, I’ve turned to reading mostly stories about characters getting dogs and having adventures with them, or growing old together, or escaping bad circumstances against all odds. Fix-it AUs. Slice-of-life fics. I’m not necessarily a happier person. I think I just value those stories more than I did. Something something the dystopia is here something something wisdom comes with age. Dykwim

#this is also true for writing #my writing used to be DARK #dead dove do not eat type shit #and now it is literally physically impossible for me to write fics #with unequivocally sad endings #there always has to be hope #some light in the darkness #some humor or self aware satire. #it’s frustrating but something about it is like… okay. #i’m at a place in my life where i need to create things that don’t end badly #and that’s okay. #fanfiction #fanfic #ao3 #x men #cherik #do you guys remember how fucking intense cherik whump was like jesus fucking christ #magneto #mormor #bbc sherlock #doctor who #the old guard #star wars the clone wars #star wars #good omens

Popular concepts and tropes doesn’t belong to anyone just because you’re the first one to do it for that ship/fandom.

The detailed, specific story you’re working on yes, but the concept as a whole with specific set of characters?

Naurr.

#People who gain some following and think they own certian characters/ships smh #the entitlement #‘i feel like i am synonymous with this ship/character’ #sorry but you’re really not #even if it’s a lesser popular one I promise you someone out there loves the ship/character and doesn’t vibe with you. #and that’s okay. #fandom #fandom meta #fandom creators #mha #mha fandom #bnha #bnha fandom

We need to go back to using sailing ships full time like immediately. Yes it would take longer to get places but the Aesthetic is unmatched

Like there is nothing sexier hthan this

#bring them BACK #I will never be okay with missing the age of sail

if someone told me my blood smelled and tasted good i would be over the moon. this is on account of my nature

#okay i lied. One more

The math just adds up!

#dungeon meshi #falin touden #marcille donato #farcille #I always loved how chapter 27 ends with them both so bloody and 28 starts with them in the bath. #not just because of how iconic the bathtub moment is but because you know they had to scrap off so much gore first. #I think everyone in the party took a very long and methodical bath but Falin was basically *all* blood*. #Being covered in blood is one of those 'just girly things' that women deserve to stop being shamed about. #I just don't think Chilchuck is progressive enough. He probably made them take a bath first B*/ #Okay jestering aside I want to just highlight - #The magnitude of Marcille's joy at seeing her dearest friend again! Of holding her and sharing her presence in the same room! #Something about this reunion feels like a beautiful dream you are afraid of waking up from...

i was cuddling with my boyfriend last night when his shoulder started tensing up (like he was readjusting or gently pushing me off) and when i asked him if he was okay or needed me to move or something he went “no you’re fine, i was just imagining myself pulling a large rope. i didn’t even realize my shoulder was doing that lmao” then refused to elaborate and i have never been as attracted to him as i was in that moment.

#icarus speaks #apollo cameo #okay i’m lying a bit #he DID elaborate and say the rope was large in the sense that it was long #not just an overly thick rope #but other than that? nothing. the inner workings of their mind are so beautiful

The bisexual to aroace pipeline is pretty much having the right idea and coming to the wrong conclusion. Yeah buddy you're not straight and you're also not gay. No not like that though, the other way around

"Self insert characters are cringe"

Bro I'm trying to survive capitalism with maladaptive daydreaming. Leave me alone.

This is for the people who didn’t party in their teens and twenties. For the people who didn’t have that “coming of age” movie experience with shenanigans and revelations. This is for the people who mostly keep to themselves. Who maybe prefer things to be quieter and gentler. This is for the people who don’t feel like they belong in a culture that values loud parties and flashing lights. I see you. And you are valid.

i went to a tiny counterserve diner once and accidentally poured sugar instead of salt all over my hashbrowns and was eating them sadly anyways. the waitress took them away and started making me another one and I tried to protest, but she just snorted and said "we're not catholic here". now every time i'm doing something painful out of obligation i think about how that is not repenting, this body is not a catholic establishment, there is no nobility in suffering.

#edit: i know i did not invent the phrase no nobility in suffering #holy fuck this hit 50k are we all. doing okay. #please stop telling me about sweet latkes i knOW about them #this was a terrible horrible accident involving a sugar shaker with a very large opening that i mistook as being a salt shaker #there was a quarter cup of white granulated sugar on my hashbrown before i could even process my mistake
