heartbreak high is a lovely show as a whole but it was genuinely so exciting to see struggles that i deal with on a day to day basis that i’ve never seen in media before exemplified with quinni.

like personally, one of my biggest hiccups is when someone wants to change my plan, even in the slightest way, it can be upsetting, and not exactly being able to explain to others why it makes me so upset because it simply does.

and seeing this exact scenario happen to quinni in a way that similarly it’s happened to me in the past literally almost brought tears to my eyes.

felt very seen. anyways.

"being fat reduces your life expectancy by 6 to 7 years!" buddy, if somebody told me today that I can either live 7 years more and be skinny but I have to be on a diet the whole time OR 7 years less and be fat but I get to eat cake, I would pick the cake. life is miserable enough, I don't need more of it if it means worrying about eating bread and potatoes

Siegfried and Gerald

(Random thoughts on these two, including some s4 spoilers, below the cut)

Taking a general view, it’s hard to imagine two people less alike that Siegfried Farnon and Gerald Hammond. Siegfried is a loud vet with sporting inclinations, who thinks he’s good at DIY but isn’t. Gerald is an introverted seemingly unsporty man, who is great at hands on work but freaks out somewhat at things veterinary.

They do have similarities though.

The first is that their families mean the world to them. Gerald is happy to uproot to take care of his sister, and clearly worries greatly about her. Siegfried’s family may largely be found rather than blood, but he was willing to have his qualifications stripped to protect James, and proved he would do anything to look after Tristan.

The other, probably more clear, similarity is with Audrey. They are both clearly in love with her, and want her in their lives. But they were also both willing to let her go because they thought it was what she wanted. They both want to be with her, but they want her to be happy more.

It could also be argued that they’re both more interested in having her in their lives as a friend than they are at risking moving things forward romantically. Gerald tells her directly that he’s happy to be her friend, and he would never have made a move if she hadn’t. Siegfried admittedly is a little harder to read in this regard, because we haven’t got to a relationship (yet) between him and Audrey. But from Christmas 1938 it’s clear he’s starting to realise his feelings, and Christmas 1939 he may well have been about to tell her how he felt before she ran off. Siegfried is clearly a man who likes his routine and the status quo. We see that through his reaction to anybody new, and any changes to his house and business. So it’s fair to assume that if the status quo with Audrey is comfortable he might want to stick with it for as long as he can.

Where I am hoping they will now diverge with Audrey, is in making their true feelings known and fighting for her to stay with them. Gerald took a long time to really let her know how he felt, and he never really seemed to push forward at all with their relationship. She initiated the first two sets of kisses we see. He initiated the third, but only after she had made the decision to go with him, and he had asked her if that made them engaged. I would hope that, while being gentlemanly, Siegfried would be more of an initiator in their relationship, and he would make sure she knows how much he loves her throughout. I would also hope that when it comes to getting engaged he would make some decent effort in that regard, or at least make it romantic.

And then we come to Audrey’s reaction to both of them. She initiated the kisses with Gerald but very little else. She seems incapable of being straightforward and certain with him, whereas she can be easily with Siegfried. For example Gerald asks her if she’s sure about leaving, and she never answers him, whereas when Siegfried asks if she’s sure about staying she interrupts him in her eagerness to answer, and does so again when he asks if he’s taken her for granted.

The one time that really isn’t the case is with leaving them. She takes some considerable time, we can assume, before finally telling Siegfried she’s leaving, and even then she can’t tell him verbally. She writes it down and he guesses that she’s leaving him. But when she decides she can’t go with Gerald she seems to go straight to his door and tells him fairly easily.

She seems to accept Gerald’s statement that he and Rock will leave quickly, with very little concern beyond the immediate pang of sadness. However, when Siegfried does his best to make her feel like her leaving isn’t bothering him, that suggestion does seem to get to her.

So in conclusion to this long rambling diatribe, which may or may not make any sense, Siegfried and Gerald have their close similarities and stark differences. Both want Audrey to be happy, whether they end up happy themselves or not. But only one of them, when all is said and done, seems to make her truly contented.

for @tightjeansjavi fandom hug, I’ve been trying to think of what I could say that could begin to articulate what a lovely thing this place has been for me. I’ve always told myself a lot of stories, and while I’ve been fortunate to have many places to share those from time to time, none have felt as “home” as this one. for me, to be a year later, still as excited to share a chapter of a series that I’m floored so many of you like. to have ideas I excitedly tell those who are close to me about, and not feel like the odd one out?

i feel lucky that not only do I get to play in a bunch of sandboxes with people I admire—and equally meet new people along the way—but that I get to show off my own sand castles and find that no one wants to kick them down. that people are genuinely interested in being my friend? because so often, people will come, they’ll refuel off my kindness and then be on their way, and I’ll watch them from afar wondering if they’ll be back or if i need just to trudge on my own path. but, I’ve met some people here I couldn’t think of not speaking to daily—who I get excited to share cool things that happen with, not just on fandom things, but in my personal life. I feel like I have a place, a purpose, and I have a joy to write again that isn’t fed by the need to please anyone but me.

I went into this fandom expecting so little, and yet it gave me so much. and while it isn’t always rosy, the good parts I tend to find myself in always try to make it shine. and really, isn’t that what fandom is about? seeing a post from someone and offering them a hug, partaking in a fmk that’s so outrageous that your laugh rings out through the house and getting excited when you see someone share more info about a story you’ve known they’ve been building in their head for days, week or months.

I love this place. it has its flaws, and at times it wounds. but, it’s also made me feel less lonely when I’ve been terrified in my own home. it’s made me feel like I have something special inside of me, that I’m good at something—even, when my mind has tried to strip everything else from me. and it’s brought me a place to find myself, judgment free. and really, truthfully, hand on heart I never thought I’d have that.

so thank you, to everyone who in some way has made me feel like I have a place 🫂

This might be a controversial opinion, but I just don't think that goodreads should allow readers to leave reviews and ratings on a book that has not been published yet

#noticed this the other day and honestly i'm still baffled #like #how does this make sense #and how does it make for accurate ratings #when a big chunk of those were left by rabid fans BEFORE the book was out #no wonder some shitty sequels are rated so highly 😬 #jo rambles

Looking for new BTS fics to read

Hi guys, now I’m getting back into the rhythm of things, I’ve populated my queue and followed a load of new blogs related to my interests these days. A lot of my previous writer mutuals / fav writers have left the platform and now I am getting back into reading and reviewing!

I’ve been out of the community for a long time, and would love if you could recommend me some fics (including your own! If you’d like to keep your request private, please let me know in your ask/message🥰) to read and review on my review blog @johobirecs. I’m sure there are loads of amazingly skilled writers and fics that have emerged since I’ve been absent. I’d love your recs if you have the time! ☺️

For now I would prefer if the recs are one shots / drabbles / series under 30k if that’s possible! I’ll be more capable of absorbing longer fics when I receive my accessible reading software. ☺️ AO3 fics also welcome!

Thanks so much! 💗

Edit: Sorry, this also includes newer fics from older, established writers too! Just want to start my to-read from fresh! Also, feel free to reblog if you think others might be interested. ☺️

Edit 2: Sorry again, I’m a dummy. 😂 I am open to reading all fics and themes! The only thing I won’t read is cp/besti*lity. Thanks!

I don't fundamentally disagree with the post going around about TLT and lesbianism, because claiming there's no lesbians in the series or that lesbianism isn't deeply ingrained in the story and Gideon-the-character especially would be a total misunderstanding of the text. But I also think that the emphasis on "lesbians in space" in the marketing and conversations among fans is doing a disservice to the book and, significantly, to queer fans who don't identify as lesbians or identify as lesbians "incorrectly". I've seen people get attacked for participating in the fandom because "this book is about lesbians for lesbians", I've seen a tremendous amount of biphobia, I've seen queer men be completely erased from the conversation, and none of that is okay. Yes, The Locked Tomb is brilliant, Gideon is explicitly a butch lesbian. I'm not discounting any of that. HOWEVER, the books are not JUST about lesbianism and lesbians aren't the only people allowed to enjoy them!
