When writing couples, I like to use the Kiss Rule:
If they have to kiss for you to know they’re in love, you’re not writing a romance right.

Now here’s something about me that I don’t want to unpack: I didn’t find Ian Malcolm sexy until he started slowly dying.

Just found out I somehow accidentally added “Dirty Night Clowns” by Chris Garneau to my That Girl workout playlist. Some unsuspecting fitness girlie is going to be CONFUSED.

Okay, so, we know that Spock said his name was unpronounceable, but then we find out it’s just S’chn T’Gai.
The Doctor also claims that their name is unpronounceable, so my theory is that the Doctor and Spock have the exact same name.

One thing that I will always love about Mina Harker is how truly important she is in the meta textual context of the novel itself.
We are reading the epistolary novel Dracula because Mina compiled every single diary, letter, newspaper, and phonograph recording of the events at the speed of light with her typewriter. Meta wise, without Mina we wouldn't have the novel itself that we have read before.

Now, I’m not saying romantic relationships are inferior, or that they’re useless, or that you being in one or that you shipping some characters romantically is Bad or something off the walls like that. What I’m saying is that two people (or characters, since we’re talking shipping here) can be just as devoted to each other, love each other just as deeply, mean just as much to each other while being in a platonic relationship. The end point of caring about someone doesn’t have to be romance.
Friendship isn’t a stepping stone between strangers and romantic partners, it’s a different path. And you can follow that path as deep into the wood as a romantic one if you want, and neither is inferior to the other, they just have different views.

want your own life dude! don’t long for anyone else’s life. even with the hardest most painful parts don’t pretend they’re not there, just fill your life up with as much of what you love what moves you what fulfills you what makes you happy and the hard shit becomes easier to deal with because you know there are all these things that keep you going. want your own life! it’s yours, only yours, no one else could have possibly been you isn’t that cool?

the default way for things to taste is good. we know this because "tasty" means something tastes good. conversely, from the words "smelly" and "noisy" we can conclude that the default way for things to smell and sound is bad. interestingly there are no corresponding adjectives for the senses of sight and touch. the inescapable conclusion is that the most ordinary object possible is invisible and intangible, produces a hideous cacophony, smells terrible, but tastes delicious. and yet this description matches no object or phenomenon known to science or human experience. so what the fuck

step one to overcoming social anxiety is to realize that most people kind of suck and their opinion of you is literally worthless

ai generated images make me increasingly sad and tired the more i see them in more and more casual contexts. i dont know how to explain, but it just fills the world with a bunch of nothing. no matter how visually stunning the pictures might be, there's nothing behind it for me. no dedication, no emotions, no feelings, no hard work or creativity, nothing i can truly think about, admire or enjoy. i dont think thats how art is supposed to be
