you can tell a lot about a person by who their first fictional crush was. it also explains every fictional crush they’ve had since

My 5-year plan is to hire a stone mason to help me design and build a grave that will become the ultimate hookup spot for goth lesbians.

[virtualgirladvance]

as an ex graveyard goth i recommend an open mausoleum for parties or for the budget minded an aboveground burial vault for a good mounting surface so you can hold up women forever

[puppygirllaika]

yeah, i was thinking an open mausoleum with some gently curved/sloped counter-height shelves, some equally gently curved benches down either side, and a double-wide vault in the middle with a slightly concave surface that kinda pushes two people into each other when they lay atop it (with a drain hole on one end, so water doesn't collect). Plus a lot of carved H.R.Geiger-esque skeletal imagery engraved into the stone of the inside of the building. and maybe an altar at the back that just happens to be the perfect size for a dj to set up her equipment and mount speakers on the rear shelves, for parties.

Having a traumatic childhood means you cannot talk even objectively about your basic foundational experiences without it being "venting", even if you're not actually venting. You just straight up have a huge chunk of your life you can't talk about, full stop, without it being trauma dumping.

And it not being socially acceptable to talk about your own childhood is super alienating. Sometimes people want to know why, and any answer you can give them is going to be off putting.

It's to the point I get irritated when something I said is framed as venting when I'm literally just talking about my life experiences, doing my best to keep emotion out of it.

when I was in high school, I overheard two older students talking about a friend of theirs.

One of them said something like, "it doesn't bother me that [Friend] was in residential mental health treatment, I just wish they wouldn't talk about it ALL the time".

The other replied, "Well, that was all of last year for them. So when they say 'when I was in treatment,' it's like when you say 'last year'."

I try to remember that any time someone says something that sounds Shocking to me. sometimes one person's scary special crisis is another person's last year.

If you want to be accepting of mental illness, you need to accept the fact that some people's everyday lives are going to be terrifying to you. That doesn't mean they don't get to talk about it. Stop forcing hurt, isolated people to become even MORE hurt and isolated because you can't fathom toughening up a bit.

They hate it when u dont abide by the same imaginary rules that they force themselves to live under

[xenosagaepisodeone]

they're making the omelas child go to therapy so it can learn about interpersonal accountability and realize the impact that its confusing and antisocial behavior has on the people around it

“Surely pain is transmuted by the artistic process into wonder at the “glory” — and yet the pain remains, idealized but real, glorified but aching.”
