You’re still aro if you’re 15

You’re still aro if you’re 50

You’re still aro if you have sex

You’re still aro if you don’t have sex

Don’t let anyone gatekeep your sexuality from you.

what stories changed you? like I see you write so much commentary and it’s evident that you love reading these fics - but what stories have changed you or affected you so much? ❤️

ohhh anon… you’re asking the tough questions. I LOVE IT. 😍

I’m gonna go with the stories that have changed me in the way of how I interpret things, or just how deeply they’ve sat with me. Or literally caused me to have some existential mini-crisis (in the best way). They all have brought me something so special.

I have 5. I’ll put this under the cut because I do go into detail as to how and why. and because I may get emotional. 🤣

this is not to say I don’t love the other fics I read, because I do - these are just the ones that hit the hardest for me. Whether it be because of the catharsis, or literally how they’ve changed my brain. I really recommend reading all the fics I reblog, and especially these that I’m gonna mention now - as well as checking out their masterlists. But do remember to heed warnings and respect their boundaries. 💗

TW: EDs, hospital mentions.

One of the first fics I ever read on here; Operant Conditioning by @buckyismybicycle. (technically it’s AO3 but I found it here 😂)

Now, there’s no words on how to describe the story telling and just the pure fucking beauty of the flow. Not many people can pull of POV switching like she has and it’s just an amazing read. The way she personifies and characterises Bucky, and Steve… just wow.

But what stuck with me the most is a bit I think towards the end or it’s in the middle. When Bucky is trying food in the lab with Bruce - more-so smelling different things that lead into food. Bucky experienced what I experience in every instance I go near a new food or smell food. Even my ‘safe foods’. And seeing it written in such a… beautiful, way - it just. I don’t even know how to describe it. I didn’t feel alone anymore.

It also brought me one of the biggest inspirations I have to this day. 💗

(I LOVE YOU SO MUCH 🥰💗)

🌻🌻

Flashing Lights & Convalescence by @pellucid-constellations is the next one.

Not only is like I’m reading a published novel, it’s like.. I don’t even know how to describe Kathie’s writing. She’s home. 💗

Those two make up a twoshot collection about the reader is in an established relationship with Bucky, and who is in a car accident, and Bucky is the paramedic that attends it. Then it follows reader’s rehabilitation and consequent success, and frustrations. I’ve already told Kathie all about this here, but I’m gonna reiterate it. I went through rehab and seeing the world through a new lense after my cardiac arrest, and it was hell. I used to look back on my time in rehab with such anger and honest to god devastation because I felt so alone. After reading Convalescence especially - that changed. It changed because I could imagine through my grief that I had someone there. I had Bucky in my mind cheering me on after I learnt to walk on my own two feet again, and I could imagine him holding me when I was alone in the hospital room and not wanting to take it anymore. And now, it doesn’t hurt so much.

🌻🌻

This next story is not on Tumblr - it’s on Wattpad. But the beautiful author is here: @woolfhoundsss. The story is Attachment Theory. (it wouldn’t let me bloody link the synopsis page only the first chapter 🤦🏼‍♀️)

God. Honestly, this is the story that inspired me to start writing. The fact that Thea writes like nothing I’ve ever seen before and captivates you - just unbelievable.

I found Attachment Theory at an odd time in my life where I was struggling like fuck to get by because everything was going wrong. I stumbled upon it after firing up my Wattpad account for the first time in like 7/8 years and it was the first thing that popped up in search. The summary instantly got me. So, I started to read it. I’m so fucking glad I did. Because when I was reading it, I felt like I had something to focus on and everything in the background just faded away. I could have however long I read for in peace and delve myself into Alice’s shoes. I remember the day that it was finished and I remember becoming so emotional over it, because it wasn’t just a story or a fanfiction to me. But I’m just grateful that in the end I got to experience what I did and I found a fellow author to connect with. I’m still in shock that you found me, Thea.

🌻🌻

This next one is another one that’s not here on tumblr, it’s on AO3 - but @winteratdusk wrote the series Homecoming.

This one I only found recently thanks to a suggestion, and holy shit. Thank you, @thenhewaswrongaboutme.

Now when I say that these fics had a sense of catharsis for me… this one takes the cake. For 4ish years now I have struggled with an eating disorder and whilst Operant Conditioning covered one element to it, Homecoming covered the rest. Literally.

But what I realised when I read this fic and how Bucky copes, and how much he struggled, I realised I was more caring, gentle and supportive of him - than I was of myself. For the exact. same. things.

Since I have read it, something changed.. in me. I now make a conscious effort to be gentle on myself with what I deal with. And I cannot describe how much progress I have actually made with my ED. It’s come in leaps and bounds.

Thank you, Sam. 💗

🌻🌻

Now this next one is very, very, very special to me.

yhhmsgm by my beautiful @thenhewaswrongaboutme.

Not only is this series one of the best things I’ve ever read, but by finding it - I also in turn found one of my closest friends.

I cannot find the words to accurately describe Elsie’s writing style except for the fact that I’m very fucking privileged to do so. The characterisation, the love that you feel when reading it, just fucking everything. God. I’m getting teary thinking about it.

So that covers it… I cannot get into words just how much I love these stories because there are no words fit enough. But I tried.

Thank you, guys, for sharing what you do. 💗

#about me #Lana’s rambles #rookthorne responds #tw: ed #tw: hospital #I get very personal here #sorry guys 💗 #love all of you so much #and I’m so grateful I get the privilege of being able to read these stories #I’m getting carried away now I’ll shush 😅

maya angelou saying the funniest thing anyone has ever said about editing, which i can never let myself forget EVER AGAIN [x]

#OK. YOU'RE RIGHT. SO WHAT? DON'T EVER MENTION THIS TO ME AGAIN. IF YOU DO I WILL NEVER SPEAK TO YOU AGAIN. #i used to think about this interview all the tiiiiime i can't believe i let myself lose track of it!!!!!!! #maya angelou #FAVE #editing #*r #god i've read this a thousand times and i still laugh every time it's so GOOD #'OK. YOU'RE RIGHT. SO WHAT. DON'T EVER MENTION THIS TO ME AGAIN' #notifications are off for this besties 💗 #i will eventually turn reblogs back on but 20k notes overnight was a little too much pls slow down ✋️ #also pls do not follow me unless you are desperately in love with me. i can't make silly little personal posts with so many of you here!!!!

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 dont know who needs to hear this but you do not need to go on a diet. you do not need to lose weight as a new year revolution. you do not need to feel shame for gaining any weight over the holidays and for enjoying yourself and the food. you do not need to tolerate diet talk after setting a boundary and if someone cant respect that then theyre being the asshole. you already have a summer body. you already are hot. theres no moral failure or shame in being fat

#been around a lot of bullshit today thats so so so exhausting and triggering #but a reminder for me as much as you. love you all & i hope this season is gentle to you

Eid Mubarak to all of you who are celebrating. I know it's hard to get in the spirit this year as so many Palestinians spend their Eid starving and in tents but I hope your Eid is full of peace and love. May we see a free Palestine by next Eid.

#Eid Mubarak #Sending you all so much love

#i literally JUST finished hill house a few days ago and i already want to reread. Badly. it's sooo so so soo sooooooooo good <33333!!!!! #also completely enamored by shirley jackson's writing style i NEED to read everything she has written ever like right now.. #opening lines of ALL TIME btw 👆❗❗❗ #r.txt #the haunting of hill house #ALSO i've seen commentary videos on the tv show they made of hill house but from what i remember of it it's SO different from the book??? #i think they were all siblings in the show which is??????? like why would you change that part?? i love sibling relationships as much as the #next guy but i feel like the fact that none of them knew each other was such an essential part of the story like why would u change it.... #also eleanor was like. an entirely different character who was also already dead in the show i believe??? and dr. montague doesn't exist?? #hill house could've been really good as a show idk why they changed it up like that...like was the original story not interesting enough for #you or something??

for context: I read the hobbit first over the course of two years when I was like 13, but I'm only now starting to read lotr. having a blast tho!

anyways, reblog if you feel like it 🙌🏻

#lord of the rings #the hobbit #lotr #hobbit #yeah guys idk i just feel like most people read it really young #but jolkein is really wordy and idk how y'all got through that at 8 yo #my attention span could neverrrrrr #obviously not as wordy as like. les mis. but you know what i mean. #lots and lots of context all the time. love that for his worldbuilding not so much for my hold on the plot #and yes i have watched the movies #i didn't completely miss the cultural zeitgeist #yay first time making a poll! if you vote or read my tags this far you are a gem 🫶🏻 #edit: i realize i spelled tolkien wrong. i feel like this proves my point #but also i feel like thats something you spell with your heart and not your mind

i know we all laugh (mostly fondly) about the paper-thin plots in porn that only exist to make the sex happen, but i was reading some old stargate fic over the weekend, and i really think we're sleeping on the paper-thin hurt/comfort plot that only exists to force the characters to FEEL THINGS.

like, is this scenario realistic? no. does it make any rational sense? no. does it provide a built-in excuse for a character to collapse, bloody and disoriented, into the arms of his beloved/friend/partner? obviously, that's the whole point of this exercise.

i love it. it's my favorite thing in the world.

#writing #hurt/comfort #much like smut it operates on the assumption that we all know what we're here for #obviously you CAN write a fully coherent plot with hurt/comfort elements just like you can write one with smutty elements #and those are lovely too #but there's something so charming about fics that are like #'look we all know what you came here for. i don't have to explain myself.'

its so crazy that for the last 5 years a small but annoyingly vocal online group has been acting like mob movies of all things are pretentious and inaccessible cinema. yeah the godfather is kinda slow but these are movies about criminals who shoot people

#that family guy bit is right it does insist upon itself but it has a valid point to insist etc etc #crow.txt #side note if you do wanna watch a good mob flick and the godfather was a bit too slow for you please watch goodfellas #its one of my favorite films of all time i love it so much #while i do like the godfather and i recognize how important it was for film history i like goodfellas a bit more
