I have a Reddit account, mostly because I wanted feedback on my query letters for Ismene.
It's nice to browse on there and see that a lot of the experiences I have are experiences people share. Like the weirdness of social interactions.
I think that one of the things I enjoy about writing is that I can write stories that I understand--or, rather, stories that communicate themselves to the reader.
Social stuff isn't like that. Take "How are you?". Well, it's a question. I should answer those truthfully (it seems respectful to, and also, experience states that if a superior asks, you'd better). Briefly, since if someone's working, that'd be the way.
But when you're asked how you are doing, you're not meant to answer the question at all. There is a formula response: "Fine, thank you", or some thing--and that is often true as an answer! But you're expected to answer with something like that, without any explanation, and even when it is a lie. It's bizarre. You're supposed to disregard what someone (that you don't dislike) said, and respond as if they didn't ask that question; but they didn't ask it in malice either.
Politeness as a lie, as an expectation that you deliberately misinterpret what is said, is very surreal to me. I understand that social norms are the consensus that has come to be, for my given context, and that I have to deal with them, and even that they apparently come naturally to some people, but they're still weird.
I don't meant that IRL society is wrong, or that it's wrong for there to be people I do not understand. I mean that, when it comes to me alone, I enjoy that I can write people such that there's not so much guesswork about what they're trying to say. Or build text such that the implicit things are communicated explicitly. It's very satisfying.

i just hope that no matter how many times this world tries to harden me and turn me into a cold person, i hope i remain soft. may i still be compassionate. may i still be full of love. may i still be soft and sees hope in everything. and to never become something that once broke me.

does anyone else find people working -- poring over texts, focused, eyes locked, brains turning, passionate, dedicated -- incredibly attractive?

Please let me know that I am not the only one who has read [& continues to do so] fanfictions about the characters whom I know nothing about; I haven't seen the movie/series or read the books about them but I am crushing hard on them because one of their fanfictions landed on my "for you" page...

Sweet relief.
It'd been weeks since she'd seen him, felt his skin underneath her fingertips, rubbed her thumbs over his cheeks, held onto those strong arms, kissed his sweet lips.
It couldn't happen fast enough as those very kisses melted her into his sheets, turning her into a puddle of need.
Moving a hand under her shirt, her breath is caught as he toys with her hardening nipple. Soon it's his tongue.
Breathy sighs turn to whimpers as they both perk up to the point of pain, and she pushes him away while arching up with him.
He chuckles, moving back in to kiss down her stomach and remove her panties, pushing her back into the sheets and pulling her legs up and open so he can admire her second set of lips.
Licking from her hole to her clit, she moans and stares down at him, watching him do it over and over and over again.
Her breathy moans of his name fill the air as her fingers find his locs, holding him right where she needs him as he flicks his tongue on her clit. His hands clamp down on her hips to keep her from running.
“Fuck, just like that!”
He looks up at her, losing her mind, loving the way her face scrunches up, those pouty lips telling him just where to lick, her head falling back as her orgasm hits.
“Mmm,” he moans, kissing her clit, “tastes so good, baby.”
“Oh my god, baby,” she whispers, trying to push him back as he suckles on her like a piece of hard candy.
“Please..”
“Please, what?”
“Please,” she whines, grinding against his beautiful mouth now, feeling needier than ever.
Kissing her wet slit a couple times, he moves away to grab a condom, before moving back between her legs, hiking them up on his shoulders.
Wasting no time, as he was feeling just as needy, he slides inside halfway, watching her mouth drop open like it's their first time, every time.
Gripping his hips as she stared back up at him, she bites her lip as he sinks all the way inside, making her eyes roll.
“Fuck,” they grunt.
His strokes had her holding onto this strong arms, scratching at the t-shirt he'd soon remove altogether, giving her more access as he hit her spot.
“Right there,” she gasps, leaning up for the kiss he places on her lips and the several others afterward.
“Right here?” He asks between kisses, dipping his hips just right.
“Yes, yes,” she cries out, feeling a different sensation arise as he continues, “oh my god, feels so good.”
“I love you,” he moans.
“I love you too,” she moans back. “That f-feels so...good!”
“So good, you gon what?”
By the time she answered him, she came so hard she shed a couple tears. And what a sight it was to him.
Wiping away a tear, he continues to fuck her through her release, smirking at the smile on her face as her eyes close.
“How'd that feel baby?”
“Sooo good,” she slurs, reaching out for him. He lays on her like she loves, tucking his face in her neck, kissing her sweet smelling skin.
“I missed you, baby,” he says in her ear, still digging so deep into her.
Her eyes were stuck on the ceiling as he rocked her world, unable to verbally tell him how much she missed him too.
Every incoherent sound that left her let him know how much she was enjoying herself. Her unseen smile also says it all.
Leaning back up, he places his hand around her neck, choking her how she likes, pumping faster now.
“Yeah...y-yeah!”
“Mmhm. where's it at, baby?” He teases.
She mouths right there, staring at him in a daze.
“Give it to me, baby,” he coos, setting her ablaze, “you gon give it to me, baby?”
“Yes, yes baby, yes," she gasps as her orgasm hits, trembling against him, completely spent.
“You ready for it?” He asks, making her smile all over again.
“Give it to me, baby,” she purrs, pulling him down to her level to peck his lips as his hips stutter into hers, almost bringing her to another peak as he reaches his own.
