We’re in the girls bathroom and you wash your hands while I fill up your water bottle. You inspect your face, searching it for imperfections I couldn’t find even if I tried. You find one, a tiny smudge of your red lipstick at the corner of your lip. You carefully scrape it away with your nail, then inspect that to make sure there isn’t a red spot.

I don’t think I’ve seen anything more beautiful.

We’re in the girls bathroom and we’re both looking at you, but you don’t notice. I watch as you pat down your hair and inspect pores that aren’t visible unless you get really close. I’ve never been that close.

We’re in the girls bathroom and I’m gay. I hurry to look away. I don’t want to make you uncomfortable. I don’t want you to know that I think about you, in quiet, simple moments like this, all the time. I don’t know what you’ll think. We’re 14 and kids are mean and I don’t understand.

We’re in the girls bathroom and you’re gorgeous

and I’m scared.

Anyone else bone-achingly tired of romance books using the miscommunication troupe as an alternative to character development?

Just a note: resolved misunderstanding is not the same as character development. Having your main story people use their speaky words to make mix-up go away does not make for a level up.

THIS! This is it.

I’ve been trying to figure out what bothers me about the miscommunication trope for AGES. It doesn’t always bother me, but at other points it makes me want to throw a book across the room. Miscommunication between two people as it happens, as a catalyst, does not bother me. But it doesn’t replace a plot. It doesn’t replace change and growth. And it definitely doesn’t replace development of a romance.

I make a joke, a stupid one, really, but they laugh. Bubbly and sweet and pure. Even when the sound has ceased and the conversation has moved on, amusement lingers. I see it in their face, tiny grains of amusement that return to tickle their spirits. I see their lips scrunch up, the tiny wrinkles barely visible next to the pink, and a realisation hits me like a train.

I am in love.

Some people believe that the rise of censoring words like unalive is a unique modern thing as if 18th century motherfuckers didn' have to write things like "we have found that the quantity of substance persists in experiments and so nothing in nature can be ever created or destroyed, only transformed. Well except God who created a universe where no creation is possible of course #please_dont_inquisish_me"

Working in food service is so surreal because like... nothing I do for people is anywhere close to life and death, but some customers absolutely act as though it is. I look a woman dead in the eye and solemnly inform her that unfortunately we are out of oat milk, and I see her heart shatter in front of me, right there at the bakery counter at 8 in the morning. I feel like a handsome TV surgeon informing someone that their beloved fiancée died on the table. He’s gone... I’m so sorry. We lost him. We are out of oat milk

Obviously, they have not been releasing Tumblr sexymen and gaslighting girlbosses at a rate sustainable to Blue Space demand. Goncharov reflects a failure in the market forcing Tumblr to fill the gap in supply by creating its own Tumblr sexyman from scratch. The terrarium is evolving. Niche-ing. Folding in on ourselves to become infinitely self-sustaining.

Honestly, I could probably write a Freaknomics book about this, checkmate Steven Levitt.

I feel so bad for people who don’t wear glasses. They can’t just take them off when the world is stressing them out.

it's so hard to get rid of the embarrassment of reading books that people judge to not be for your age or that 'won't bring you any real knowledge' like romance or fantasy because reading should be for fun, not to brag or use it as a weapon to get to other people
