i think i should be allowed to quit my job and write gross and smutty fanfiction all day and still pull in a salary. i think it's a reasonable ask.

[pillowspace]

It feels like this every time I write a fic

I really can and will blame the 9-5 for everything. "We're in a loneliness epidemic" well, we have to spend a third of our day interacting with people in a professional way that makes forming real friendships difficult and then we're peopled out by the time we're done. "People are eating more and more unhealthily" people have to spend more than a third of their day doing work related tasks and they don't want to spend their tiny amount of free time making food. "People aren't involved in their local communities" after spending more than a third of their day doing work related things people are tired and also all those community events take place during normal working hours. "People need to get more hobbies" after spending more than a third of their day working, people are TIRED and don't want to do anything that takes yet more energy. "Literacy is dying" to maintain your critical thinking skills you need to read/watch things that make you think and after spending more than a third of your day doing work related stuff you are TIRED and don't want to expend even more brainnpower. "People need to get outside more" People. Are. TIRED. Because they have to spend all of their time working or preparing for work or recovering from work or doing all the chores they couldn't stay on top of because of work. I can blame fucking anything on having to work, it is truly the root of all fucking evil.

the 9-5 is truly sickening bc its not even a 9-5. a lot of companies now schedule 8-5 bc that hour lunch break doesnt count as part of an 8 hour work day, so thats 9 hours at work. a commute is often 30 min each way, sometimes more, so thats a 10 hour day. you have to wake up, shower, get dressed, eat something, thats an extra hour to prep for work, its an 11 hour day. if you're lucky. assuming you sleep 8 hours (if you're lucky) go to bed at 10:30, wake up at 6:30, thats leaves 5 hours between 5:30pm and 10:30pm to make dinner decompress do hobbies socialize get ready for bed clean your home run errands if work hasnt sucked the soul from your body and the strength from your bones. god forbid you have kids. and thats why we need to kill capitalists.

one of my favorite this american life segments of late is about the people who played orchestra pit for phantom of the opera on broadway and how, like, a sizeable majority of them had literally been playing the show since it opened in 1988 (on broadway. I know it opened in 86 on the west end, you random pedants, but I am specifically talking about broadway musicians) because their contracts stipulated that they'd have jobs throughout the show's entire run... but nobody anticipated that phantom would become the longest-running broadway show of all time.

and none of these people wanted to walk away from a guaranteed job, so very few of them ever quit. they just kept doing the same show eight nights a week... for twenty or thirty years... and by the time it finally closed last year most of these musicians (who had been working together for DECADES) hated each other and really really fucking loathed phantom. I can't stop thinking about it. it's indescribably hellish to imagine but also the funniest thing I've ever heard in my life.

can you imagine.

[ID: excerpt from an article reading: One of my favorite stories, which should drive anyone who has every played in a band crazy-- there’s this bassoon player who has sat next to the same clarinet player since 1988. She’s convinced he plays half a note4 flat on every note he’s every played. He denies this. /]

are you telling me batman has an adversary with a deep seated obsession over duality, multiple personality disorder, and lost his previous life to become something feared, and thats not the guy most fixated on unmasking him? you're telling me batman has a foe who was a professional actor, who has the ability to perfectly mimic almost anyone, to Literally transform into something else while haunted by the inability to just stay his 'normal' self, and thats not the guy most obsessed with discovering batman's secret identity? you're telling me he fights a guy who was abused and ostracized his entire life because he couldnt hide the form he was born in, and is relentlessly criminalized because he doesn't have the option to put on a mask and become anything else, and that's not the villain who would do anything to expose the guy behind the cowl? im supposed to believe its HUGO STRANGE?

“could jason beat cass in a fight” jason cant even beat dick in a fight let’s be serious for a minute.

[getanshi]

half convinced that besides the general jason glazing the only reason anyone even bothers to entertain this idea is because people can’t square the asian woman as being a bigger physical threat than the hulking white guy and so they have to underestimate her. its no different from a chud who plays a bit of tennis in the summer and convinces himself he could probably go toe to toe against naomi osaka

cassandra has ONE equal in the realm of physical altercations and that is her MOM

[balaclava-trismegistus]

if i dont respond to a message from you i can basically guarantee its not because i dislike you. im just getting attacked by imps and shit all the time genuinely.

[casscainmainly]

I love thinking about what Cass did in Hong Kong because yayyy #ourcity but my main hc is that she was so sad during that era she didn't absorb ANY of the city. Like her father is dead she isn't Batgirl everyone she knows is on the other side of the world she is alone & heartbroken & grieving. To me she was probably as closed off from HK as she was from Gotham at the beginning of Batgirl (2000), except even worse because Babs isn't there to encourage her to do non-Bat stuff. No visiting street stalls or cha chaan tengs or Disneyland just slurping instant ramen over some unconscious guy's body in an alleyway. Staring into dim sum restaurants watching people eat with their families and wondering if she will ever have that again. Waiting by the phone for Barbara to call and then rejecting the call whenever it does come. Once in a while she goes into the MTR during rush hour to get crushed between bodies and it's the nearest she gets to feeling close to other people. And it's still not enough

Summary:

The whole fundraiser is something he wouldn't have thought twice about if he hadn't seen Tim trying on that pair of stupid expensive heels with the stupid red bottoms. The extra lift had elongated Tim's already incredible legs and perked out his fantastic ass and all of a sudden Jason's Saturday morning cleared up.

Teaser for JayTim Week 2025 Day 5: Yellow

“If you don’t come over here, I’ll start without you,” Jason says, but it doesn’t feel like much of a threat. He lays back against Tim’s mountain of pillows like he owns the place, and, to be honest, Tim is having a hard time believing otherwise.  The more complicated outer pieces of his suit have already been stripped off and set in a neat pile off one side of the bed: boots, gloves, cape, exterior armor. His face is bare and staring at Tim expectantly. His naked feet seem excessively erotic where the toes curl into his comforter considering Tim isn’t really into feet. His legs are covered in nothing but those skin-tight, canary yellow leggings. Jason looks so good in yellow. Damian’s version of the suit had been all charcoal and blood red, always trying to look older than he was. Tim had favored more of the green.  But Jason - Jason has leaned heavy into the role of friend, safe harbor, symbol of hope. A bright, bold, unwavering bird singing loud into the unknown no matter how dark it gets. Jason can pull off yellow in a way no white person can. Jason had joked once or twice about taking on the name of Bluejay, but Tim hopes that he keeps the yellow when he sheds his fledgling coat.

smut writing Level 1: whats another word for dick

smut writing Level 10: its is not just a question of How the characters arrive at this moment, but also Why. it is not enough for the reader to simply find my work stimulating, i yearn for them to understand the complicated dynamic at hand as it exists in my mind, and also how this has evolved from the source material. is the pacing consistent? is the vocabulary engaging? is what im creating worth your time?

I guess the truth is that I was lonely... Didn't want to go it alone. So what do I do? I bring a young innocent into this mad game... I must be insane.
