I L N U for the fic ask thing!
Wilbur I can always count on you to play these silly lil ask games, thank you
I: Do you have a guilty pleasure in fic (reading or writing)?
One of my guilty pleasures are a/b/o fics. Reading or writing them. I have no shame. They can be actually really good and the dynamics are always interesting. Tired of the negative stigma that some people can have with them.
L: How many times do you usually revise your fic/chapter before posting?
It depends, if its just a fic for an idea i just want to write out real quick I usually don't revise it but if it's a fic that i've been thinking about for a while or one I especially care about I'll revise it a few times- this why my writing style seems like it can vary 😭
N: Is there a fic you wish someone else would write (or finish) for you?
A lot of fics bc I love little ships so there's not a lot of content for them 🥲 but a fic of mine I would love for someone to finish for me would be my bichie fic with wheelchair user! Bill. I loved that fic but it just got away from me.
U: Share three of your favorite fic writers and why you like them so much.
AAAAAAAA okay. Wilbur you are one of them bc I loved how you wrote Girl!Mike and I completely adore your ongoing hsms au byler fic, your writing really puts you there in the moment with the characters.
Another one of my favorite fic writers is @grapesodatozier, I love how she writes Mike and Richie and if you're looking for good Wheelzier content I always recommend checking out Cami's blog. Mike is such a brat and she writes him so well.
Last but certainly not least is @the-angry-pixie they have written two of the best poly losers fics I have ever read. They never make a Loser feel pushed to the background and they display the love between the Losers so well. They also have a couple good byler fics too!

…I just realised I’m a horrible person who makes it difficult for people to disagree with me on mundane things. The question is whether it is succumbing to peer pressure or if I am a genuinely horrible friend (it’s the latter)

Guys, I absolutely do not recommend being a jaded cynic and also a romantic with severe trust issues. They just don't go together.

at the end of the day it's not that you hate your job - actually, you like working, you like routine, you like feeling like an adult - it's that any time you fuck anything up, you feel like you're fucking dying.
because you could be actually fucking dying. because if one day you wake up and you misunderstood something - you could lose your job, and nobody is hiring, and nobody is paying, and nobody takes people like you, and that job you want hasn't gotten back to you. and what exactly are you going to do without insurance? good luck with those meds. you should have thought of that before being a person.
so it's not just that you forgot to CC someone on an email, it's that if you don't have this job, you can't afford rent. it's not that you misread a comment, it's that if you get fired, you will be in massive amounts of unpayable debt. it's not that you are bad at your job, but here are the stakes as they have been decided for you: be perfect or fucking die. like, literally, die. that is how much safety net you have: none.
it's not burnout, technically. but you literally just had two typos in your work, and you're already picturing the ending. you want to throw up & curl up & make it all go away. it is two typos. if he decides he is mad at you, you lose literally everything.
your mom says that you seem stressed. the thing is that you have never known a job that isn't stressful. welcome to capitalism. there is no other road, only this one. what the fuck is a career. you come here, and we hold your life against the barrel of a gun, and somewhere someone is spinning the chamber and pulling. eventually the bullet will come.
you live in a mugging. your boss owns three cars and has four kids. you worry about having enough to feed your dog. good luck. beg for forgiveness. CC the right people next time and be grateful, kid. somebody has it worse than you. someone, probably, has it worse than you. so what if you can't sleep or eat or focus. your work chat sound literally makes you panic. you had to change the sounds of computer notifications so you'd stop having such an upset stomach.
welcome to the real world! the rat race! the dog eat dog circus!
your doctor studies the results and frowns at you. "it's bad for your heart," she says. "try to reduce your levels of stress."

Yearning
I am yearning, yearning to do something, I see everyone that do things, things that are great, that I like, that they get attention for, attention I want to get, but my hands can not make them, my hands can so rarely make things.
