god looked at my shitty tiny frame and said, “you’re going to be a little bisexual moron” then released me onto the state of KS

laptop husbandry tip: the fans spinning up just means its EXCITED, not DISTRESSED. this is a COMMON MISCONCEPTION and it does not need to go to the vet

You ever start writing something and it turns out so much darker then expected and your just like “you okay in there?” to yourself or is it just me?

hate when folk call the Sun “our nearest star” no you dweebs that’s OUR STAR! After everything she's done for you and you want to compare her to some lightyears away ass nobody called some shit like Guncho 785B? We're not spinning eternally around any old ball, we’re three deep in the window on board the Sol Train and she did NOT provide the catering, the itinerary and all the fuel to share credit with some two-bit Proxima Centauri hack. point to these nuts in a constellation while you're at it. i love the sun

Angst fics can help people come to terms with their own grief, begin healing, or give people that good cry that they need.

Smut fics can help people affirm and accept their sexuality. It can help them explore their sexuality in a safe way. They can also just be fun, and having fun is a drastically undervalued way to improve your mental health.

Dark fics can help people face their fears or process their trauma. It can make them feel safer and more secure. It can help them find their courage.

Fluff fics can give people rest and respite and comfort. It can give them hope that soft places exist and that maybe there is one out there for them. It can bring up their mood, which, if they have depression, can be a life saver.

And every fic people write makes someone feel less alone.

Point being, just because a particular thing doesn’t serve you, doesn’t mean it lacks value.

This is not to say that we have to consume all fic uncritically. Of course not. It is just to say that entire “genres” aren’t trash or lacking value just because they don’t serve you.

This part:

Point being, just because a particular thing doesn’t serve you, doesn’t mean it lacks value.

I mean, yes, and also people can just like a particular type of fic for no redeeming value whatsoever. You don’t need to justify what you like. It’s okay. You can like things. Even dark things. Even fluffy things. Even sad things. Or porny things. You can just like things. Even if they’re not quite socially acceptable.

You don’t have to explain yourself to anyone.

You can also consume fiction and critique it and its purpose if you want, that’s fine too, but let’s be real: No one is required to defend their fic likes. It’s just that I’m here in defense of “I like this and I don’t want to explain why or what socially redeeming value my fanfic has.”

reading alone in your room at sunset with your windows open while the wind caresses your skin is probably the closest thing we have to a cure for the human condition

the cure to self-sabotage is to anchor yourself to the universal truth that you are worth it. you are worth the effort. you are worth the difficulty, you are worth the time, you are worth the consideration. there is never a point in your life, in time itself, that you are not worth it. return to this truth when you feel yourself slipping. do not let it go.
