saw a comment that misspelled “kind gesture” as “kind jester” and am now imagining a beautiful world where we praise good samaritans by calling them kind jesters. good on you, you gentle fool. you’ve made the world a sweeter and sillier place.

i love making friends in fandom, i love playing with our toys together, i love coming up with increasingly niche aus, i love lifting strangers up, i love motivating people to create, i love watching someone get excited over an idea and immediately running with it, i love yelling in tags together, i love seeing someone gain confidence in their writing/art because people were kind to them <33

Hiii do we want to bring back blurb weekends? You send a request for a character/person/ship and I write a short little something (~300 words) based on that with the possibility of turning it into a full fic eventually if I feel inspired enough. Please be specific in your request! You can use some prompts or a specific plot or scenario you have in mind! The list is the same as it says in my pinned post, but I'm willing to write for more if you've seen me posting about anyone on my main

#rb on here if y'all missed it bc i wanna write more fic but i need to get back into it before i start the long requests

#well yeah bc being bullied by both students and teachers throughout all of elementary school literally ruined my life #i couldn't attend any of the high schools i wanted out of mad fear bc my bullies were going there too #so now i got a lower degree at this other school and due to new government regulations can't get a higher diploma #which means i couldn't just go to university and pursue any of the careers i wanted when i still had the money to pay tuition fees #also made me extremely self conscious so i barely had any irl friends for the longest time

#a bunch of murder cases in the 90s when my mom was training to be a cop and a few in recent years #that big royal european get together in 1894 bc basically everyone was originally from here #and um. h*tler liked to go on holiday here. craziest of it all #oh and a school shooting (which is rare in germany) at my sister's old high school but years before she attended #regarding the first tag one guy brutally murdered a prostitute at an inn and my mom saw the crime scene photos which were really gross #another one was a store owner in my mom's neighborhood who was beaten to death and my mom assumed it was his son who she knew from school #he was always aggressive towards her and anyone else and his fingerprints were obviously in the store bc his dad owned it #the detective didn't really comment on it but said something like they thought so too but they don't have any proof to be able to arrest hi #otherwise in recent years a few murder suicides and missing children and the weekly fistfights in the infamous club street

The pipeline from being the shy kid who hated phone calls and needed to have other people make them until a few years ago to being the designated doctor phone caller for my mom and now calling literally every place needs to be studied

#got my mom appointments from two doctors with rude receptionists who refuse to give her appointments in less than three months #mel talks

it's not natural for candy to be $3.49. candy is supposed to be one dollar

candy should cost a nickel and we should all wear little propeller hats when we eat it

Oh Barry Gibb in that light blue polyester shirt with the puffy sleeves in Cucumber Castle...

#i'm surprised he's not a common blorbo i felt like tumblr would love him especially in the late 60s/70s #man did a movie in which he gets the back of his shirt ripped off exposing enough flesh to make a victorian person die... in the first 5 min #proof is coming when i've gathered enough photos but trust me on this. google him in cucumber castle. those fits slayed #i definitely take after my mother bc she loves barry or at least 6 y/o me read that into her speeches about the bee gees #mel talks #barry gibb

Fourth lit mag acceptance mail!!!

And the fifth and the sixth!!!

#two out of three submitted works in the same issue!! it's one called 'love and horror' by the macabre magazine #both are poems from 2023 when i was writing a lot on that theme for reasons known among the ogs

I have a theory ☝️ you're into Maurice Gibb because in his glasses and hat era he looked a bit like Val Kilmer

I definitely see it buuut that's not entirely why like have you seen Mo in the late 60s?? 👀 they're both my cuties 🫶
