Concept

The day of my “wedding” has arrived. Instead of a preacher saying how important it is to have a union my partner and I each tell hyperbolic stories to the crowd about what we want to do now that we’re a duo. When we’re done the lights go out but earlier we’d given everyone glow sticks so they better not have ditched them. We do a cover of the Cha Cha Slide. At one point the beat drops and it’s straight up dubstep music. I play my bass, maybe my djembe, ukulele, or one of my recorders, and my partner does something similar. We each get to perform rockin’ solos to all our favorite friends and family members. For the rest of time, instead of people saying, “Oh, remember the xxx wedding? So sweet, so wow,” my partner and I can brag, “Remember the time we shredded it and you all had to watch? Ha! Rick-Rolled.”

Could I just pay someone a monthly fee to answer the phone whenever I call and to basically be my friend? I don’t want to just rant and vent to them, I want someone I can call and talk about this funny video I saw, something cute my cats did, or about a movie I just watched. I want to talk about the hobbies I pick up and drop, what I’m doing next career/job wise, and whether I /should/ do something different with my life. I want someone I can brag to, tease, and on occasion have them laugh at my jokes and I hope it’s sincere because otherwise no one thinks I’m funny. Even if I’m paying someone I want something like this and I don’t know how else to get it.

I still probably care too much what people think but if I know someone hates me it’s a relief because then I /know/. No more second-guessing and over-thinking all our interactions together. It’s like I give myself permission to move on from wasting brain-space on that person.

Me: *this post*

Those feels when you're making a good plan for the protagonist to do something cool but then, eventually, realize something kind of obvious the antagonist can do to stop said cool thing. :(

I work at a nursing home and one of the old ladies there was watching Supernatural. She kept trying to get my attention and kept gesturing to it, telling me about what was happening. There was no sound but when I realized what it was I told her which person was Sam, which is Dean, and that they’re brothers that fight against various supernatural threats. She found this all pretty interesting, maybe it helped clear up some confusion as she usually watches true crime shows. She then gestured to Sam, telling me about the big rifle he’d been using earlier. I explained, “Oh yeah. He uses that to shoot salt.” She nodded, more of the show making sense. She’d apparently seen it a couple of times and now that I explained the gist of it she liked it even more. It’s weirdly fun to run into fellow fans of things.

Aro culture is when some guy from class you've had some interactions with starts asking you to hang out and calls you like all the time, and you want to be friendly and accomodating but he's getting a bit intrusive of your time, and it's annoying but you dont wanna be too dismissive. And after some time he asks you if you wanna be "together" and you're like "wtf?? have i've given those signals?? What makes him think I would want that???" And he's like "but we have been dating" ...

This happened to me with a co-worker. I just wanted a friend and was excited to finally have someone to hang-out with. In my case, he revealed this at a party, though, with everyone watching. I didn’t want to ruin the party by starting some “drama” so I just rolled with it. I kept hanging out with him and we wouldn’t even hold hands or anything so I hoped he’d see I didn’t like him like that and break up with me. I finally had to break up with him but even then he argued with me, trying to say we had something. If not for that experience I would be able to say I’ve dated exactly zero people. Now, I’m not sure if that /counts/ or not since I was sort of tricked into it.

Tarot Tips

Through various tarot book guides I’ve read in the past I’ve come across this concept of not asking the cards certain questions so you can respect the subject’s privacy. Consider this: If you’re really not meant to know something then the universe won’t provide the information. You’ll draw a different card, you’ll interpret what you drew wrong, or something might not occur to you while interpreting the spread. So ask whatever you want to know! Don’t shy away from your own thoughts!

[comradeblade]

You ever do some tarot spreads for your characters and find your deck ships another pairing than what you do? Deep down, I know the other pairing would be better for the parties involved but I still feel like shipping the other one anyway.

I want to put more asexual/aromantic representation into my stories and oneshots, but I fear that not a lot of people are going to like it :/ It’s just sad because I don’t see a lot of ace/aro representation and sometimes it makes me feel invalid, and if I write one with someone being asexual or aromantic, they flop

[comradeblade]

If the story is done well then it won’t flop. Most readers just want to read a good story so if you know how to do that there shouldn’t be a problem.
