Boundaries are part of my body language

Play with fairies

Swim with mermaids

Ride a unicorn

Fly to the moon

Age perimeters be like

Mommy -> mummy -> Egyptian mummy 🌼

Don’t give me your beautiful

Give me you look like a piece of art

Does anyone have an olive tree

If so pls do tell where to find one

Eat CHOCOLATE

Not chalk

Shoot for the moon

Even if you miss

You’ll land among

The stars

#idealism

When did it become a thing for woman to slut shame other women like girlie why you so stuck in the matrix

Btw - not wearing a bra at home is not to show around or an act of feminism but bc bras are fucking uncomfortable and I just wanna live

And then they preach all like I’m a feminist like WHATS THIS HAVE TO DO WITH FEMINISM

I just want to be comfortable in my own fucking house

Tips for Writing Injuries

✧ Broken ribs suck. You don’t just “walk it off.” Breathing hurts. Laughing hurts. Existing hurts. Characters with rib injuries won’t be doing heroic sprints.

✧ Concussions aren’t instant naps. Dazed vision, nausea, dizziness, maybe even personality changes, but they’re not going to collapse neatly like in the movies.

✧ Blood loss is sneaky. It’s not just about dramatic pools of blood. It’s dizziness, confusion, and the body getting cold as circulation tanks.

✧ Adrenaline lies. Someone can take a serious injury and not feel it until the fight’s over. That “I didn’t realize I was bleeding until later” trope? Very real.

✧ Twisted ankles are brutal. One bad step and suddenly running is off the table. Even walking hurts like hell. Perfect way to ground a chase scene.

✧ Burns linger. Even small burns hurt more than most people expect. Blisters, infection risk, constant pain, it’s not just a cool scar later.

✧ Dislocated shoulders = useless arm. Characters can’t keep swinging a sword or firing a gun. They’re basically fighting one-armed until it’s fixed.

✧ Shock is a thing. Pale skin, trembling, rapid heartbeat, and eventually disorientation. A character might not even realize how bad their wound is.

✧ Stitches aren’t magic. Getting sewn up is painful and recovery takes time. They’re not instantly battle-ready after a needle and thread.

✧ Scars tell stories. Some fade, some don’t. Some stay sensitive forever. Don’t forget the aftermath when the wound becomes part of the character.

Counterpoint: Stories are never obligated to be realistic. A chase scene that ends unceremoniously because you sprained your ankle is not going to be as interesting as one where you did Not sprain your ankle, other than if the ankle-spraining happened at a dramatic moment. A fight scene is probably going to look cooler if the character powers through or ignores a broken rib than if they were instantly crippled and taken out of the fight.

The story comes first over adherence to Realism (TM).
