I think flinching is such a hit or miss reflex. Like yea a tiny bit of boiling water touched my hand but i dont think reflexifly throwing the water everywhere is a good defensive measure perhaps. might be even worse actually

Sometimes you can tell when a fandom has been starved for new input for too long because you can make an objectively mid text post like “hey guys, I like a scene in this show” and it gets 600 notes.

being anti-amatonormativity in a romance centered world is like watching half the people you know put all their eggs in one basket and then drop the basket and all their eggs break and they’re crying and swearing they’re never gonna do that again and then a month later they have all new eggs in a new basket and they tell you the problem was they didn’t have a strong enough basket or fresh enough eggs and then they drop the fucking basket again.

me at the function one drink in: let me at the mic dude come onnnnn

the worm dj: (squinting suspiciously) only if you promise not to start talking about romance centrism and how people even subconsciously prioritize romantic bonds to platonic ones and associate depth of emotion to specifically and only being possible for the former

me: I prom-

the worm dj: or about how hypermasculinity creates a bubble of not being able to demonstrate fragility and fondness but also only really being able to demonstrate those feelings in private ways often leading to a romantic reading that sometimes betrays itself in trying to be woke and instead circling back around to regurgitating the idea that love and support can only be given if there is something More there, thus reinforcing the same masculine ideals we started with

me: man come the fuck on

step one of pottery is that it can sense fear. step two is there's never enough water except for when there's too much

there will never be anything as funny as the mutual disbelief between long form and short form fic writers about each other's style.

short form writers look at people writing 100k+ fics as though this is some sort of talent given as part of a fae bargain, that the commitment required shows some sort of ungodly mental fortitude.

meanwhile long form writers look at people writing 1000 word one shots like god I would cut off my left nipple to be able to say anything concisely. i would love to play with multiple ideas. free me from the shackles of this child I have birthed. i love them but I now must take them to t-ball and doctor's appointments and they're going to destroy everything I own.
