reblog if it's okay for your mutuals to message you and create an actual friendship, not just interactions
People are so much more sad, and desparate, and lonely than you think. I have had three incidents in the last four months were a technician I was working with was being either dangerously unfocused (we work with high voltage), or just flat out angry with their coworkers, and every time when I just pulled them aside to say hey, this isn't you, you're nice, and you're competent, so something must be up - what can I do to help - they have responded by bursting into tears. One guy was struggling to get his wife moved into a care home, one guy just got served divorce papers, and the other hadn't slept a wink the night before because his daughter had the pukes.
I haven't spent my whole life responding to people being rude, or stupid, or dangerous with knee jerk compassion. It's a new habit. The first time I did that as the lead for my lab, it was because the guy genuinely was so good natured that I knew something had to be off. But the other two times were just me going, alright, lets see if it always goes this well, and so far, it has. I'm almost 30, and I just figured out that the #1 reason people are shitty are because they are going through shit.
I don't think you have, like, a moral obligation to respond to people being jerks with knee jerk compassion. But it has made my life so much easier the last four months that I would recommend trying. For your own sake. Please.
(I'll step off my soapbox now. Enjoy your Sunday.)
Why I Edit As I Write (Even Though Everyone Says Not To)
hi. it's me. the writer who edits mid-sentence. the writer who literally cannot move on from chapter one until chapter one feels right. the writer who rewrites the same paragraph fourteen times before letting themselves move to the next. yes i've seen every single "just write, fix it later" post. yes, i love the idea of messy first drafts. and no i will not be changing
okay so listen everyone, here's the thing: i DON'T think editing as you go is inherently bad. it's only bad advice when people try to universalize it. writing process is personal. maybe for you it's a fast draft in November and editing in february. maybe for me it's hyper-fixating on every single sentence until the scene flows like water and then moving on with peace in my soul. BOTH ARE VALID. BOTH CAN WORK. both get the book done.
people love to say "don't edit while you draft" because, yeah perfectionism can slow you down. listen, i'm not editing for perfection, im editing for immersion. i need to feel like i'm inside the story or I'LL SPIRAL! if i know the voice is off, pacing is weird, or the character feels flat, i can't pretend i don't see it and continue. i can't push through. my brain physically will NOT LET ME!
when something sounds wrong or looks wrong, it breaks the spell. it kicks me out of the scene like a bad special effects in a movie. no seriously!! and once i'm out it's really hard pt get back in.
also, i'm gonna be real, i hate the feeling of finishing a draft and knowing the entire thing is a flaming wreck i now have to sift through. i HATE that feeling. it makes me never want to open that doc again. i need to be able to re-read my work and go, "okay yeah, this slaps a little." that's how i keep going. a little dopamine hit every few pages. if you call that toxic? i call it necessary.
side notes: there's a weird gatekeeping vibe around speed in the writing world. people act like if you're not cranking out 50k in 30 days, you're "not disciplined." but i'd argue that forcing yourself to write in a way that actively hurts your process isn't discipline. it's sabotage. if editing as i go keeps me working on a project long-term, keeps me engaged, keeps be BELIEVING in it, then it's a valid method
my best scenes? the ones i took slow. the ones i sculpted sentence by sentence. the ones i paused to read out loud, rework, and reimagine until the tension finally clicked. yeah it took hours. yeah it was annoying. but that scene still holds. it still makes me feel something. and that’s worth more to me than blasting through 10k of filler.
edit while you write. reread the last paragraph twelve times. fix that one clunky sentence before you let yourself go on. obsess a little. it’s fine.

MY FAVORITE PILLOW
by impackinapiece on ao3
TK has developed a deep affection for cuddling with his fiancé, Carlos. Resting against him brings incredible comfort, as if he’s found his perfect spot in the world. The warmth of Carlos and the rhythm of his heartbeat create a sense of security that TK adores. Whether on the couch or in bed, being close to Carlos has become TK's favorite retreat, a cozy haven for sharing quiet moments and deepening their bond.
Lone Star usually leaves us with a lot of blanks to fill in as a fandom, and one place where we have particularly a lot of blanks to fill in is early Season 1 Tarlos. Here are some of the blanks that canon left for us. Reblog and let us know how you would fill them in!
Thank you @happilylovingbitch for tagging me
1.What did they do “15 minutes after” they met?
Got each other off in the honky tonk bathroom
Made out in the alleyway outside the honky tonk
Sex in Carlos’s car
Something else—feel free to elaborate! - I believe they went back to Carlos's place for their first hook up.
2.When Carlos referred to “the first night I took you home” (during the soulmates scene in 4x16, indicating that was how long he’s known they were soulmates), what did he mean?
After they danced at the honky tonk
When they hooked up at Carlos’s in 1x02 (despite the fact that it isn’t night)
Another time
3.How did they end up at Carlos’s for the 1x02 hook up?
They met or ran into each other somewhere else and Carlos drove them to his house - i think they ran into each other somewhere and just had to have each other and mutually agreed to go back to Carlos's place
TK took an uber and Carlos was waiting on his front lawn
Carlos picked TK up from work or home and drove them both to his house
Some other way
4.Who initiated the 1x02 hook up and how?
TK
Carlos
Mutual
By:
Text
Call
Spontaneous run-in
One sought the other out in person
5.Would TK have stayed for the red snapper dinner if Carlos hadn’t said the words “marriage proposal”?
Yes
No
Nuance
BONUS QUESTION—What was TK’s mood/state of mind between the hook up and the dinner in 1x02? Was he excited he had found a hot guy to hook up with and nothing more? Was he fighting feelings he knew were there already? Was he feeling weird about it but unable to recognize or pinpoint exactly what he was feeling? Or something else entirely?
I think TK was scared almost immediately after their first hook up because he was already (and so quickly) feeling. But he went back because... well, just look at Carlos! I don't think he would've stuck around for the dinner because that only solidified his fear that they were both already feeling and he wanted to run away from that as fast as possible.

CURRENT MOOD
So cute in his hoodie!
Writing is basically falling in love with an idea,
then immediately doubting if you're good enough for it.
Love at first sight quickly turns into anxiety at first paragraph.
