Writers of Heated Rivalry fandom. I draw your attention to this workskin. Readers would no longer have to scroll back and forth to find English translation of Russian dialogue, and also this GIF magic makes it look like an actual video. Tf.
The gif works if you download the fic in html, and the English translation is shown beside the Russian words (if a little squashed) in any downloaded format.
A lot of the time I look at myself in the mirror, see a disheveled little rat with neuroses, and think, "damn, what a turn off, how could anyone find *that* attractive?". But what I gotta remember is that someone out there is looking for the chihuahua of their dreams
Like. You know how coyotes and badgers sometimes hunt together, cause of their different skill sets? The badger is compact and close to the ground and can tunnel, while the coyote can run fast and see farther and can corral prey?
I'm saying maybe you're not icky, you're just a badger, and you don't wanna buddy up with a badger like you. Maybe you're looking for your coyote. And that coyote? They're not hooking up with coyotes.
So like. Appreciate what you have, I guess. And kill a large prey animal some time
Confidence
I fear I don't get it
Like. I don't find me attractive so I worry that nobody can. But like. Other people like other things. So maybe while I'm wishing I was different, someone else is looking for exactly who I am right now, even if I don't like it. You know?
You're not unattractive: you're simply someone else's type.

Spin the wheel. Now, imagine you're on a first date with someone who says they`re a [result]. How does this affect the odds of a second date?

It's significantly more likely
The odds don't change
It's significantly less likely
There wont be a second date. Absolutely not

Just watched Adam Conover (of Adam Ruins Everything) make such a solid point that I think we should spread far and wide. Yes, having AI write your emails is lazy, sure, but people love being lazy. We need to really emphasize that sending AI emails (or using AI responses on social media, or publishing AI flyers, or or or) is rude.
It's rude. You're making someone take their time to read something you couldn't bother to write. You're telling them they were so unimportant you couldn't be bothered to actually take the time to say something yourself. And frankly, you're lying about it while you're at it.
It's rude.
You're a dragon shifter and your boss has given you a new assignment - be the summoned Chosen One's partner. You're fine with this assignment as the Chosen One seems to be a naturally talented rider and even takes care of your tack at the end of each day. And you think their cheerful conversation is interesting and fun even if it is one-sided in your dragon form. But soon you realize that there's been a misunderstanding. You've always thought the Chosen One volunteered to be summoned and to fight the Demon King. And the Chosen One clearly thinks that you're just a dragon and incapable of understanding the truly vicious diatribe they unleash against your kingdom every night.
“No one is coming to save you.” I disagree ! I believe many people made up of many small moments come to save pieces of you , even if just briefly. The mentor who believed in you . The friend who said they’re proud of you. The family member that makes you laugh . The random person who held the door for you out of nothing but kindness. The teacher who took extra time to help you understand. The person who smiled at you when you walked into a store. The little kid who looks up to you. The person who randomly complimented you. Being “saved” isn’t about being whisked away and all your hardships gone, it’s about the people and things that remind you life is not all hardships, it is kindness, love, gentleness, softness, care, thoughtfulness. It is many moments made up of your lifetime that keeps you going and showing you the world is still beautiful, and will always be. Despite.
I’m reading a book that I really am enjoying overall—historical romance, really interesting historical period,* solid main characters, good story so far—and the author does a complete fade to black after the first kiss and only vaguely implies the sex after. Which is fine, but it’s not helping the book at all.
This is the second book I’ve read recently where I felt like the lack of sex scenes was hurting the story.
If you’re going to skip the sex scenes—and you can—then you’ve really got to work on the romance *outside* of the sex scenes. A lot of times, sex scenes are where we see vulnerabilities, secrets slip out, a composed character loses composure, reserved characters show their emotions—they’re a good way to show characters with their guards down. And if you decide not to have them, you *have* to do that somewhere else. Otherwise I have trouble believing the love story.
I have to see the grumpy wet cat man in a moment where his facade slips and he purely, entirely loves his person. Thinking about it, both books also elided conversation scenes—I got told there were long, deep conversations, but I didn’t see any of them.
It’s tricky because both the sex scenes and/or the conversation scenes need to be part of the plot, but it can be done. I think KJ Charles is really good at both (‘The Secret Lives of Country Gentlemen’ has excellent conversation scenes that propel the plot and show the main characters getting to know each other; its sequel has excellent sex scenes that propel the plot and the romance).
*I have learned so many weird bits of history since I’ve started reading romance. Like most genres, I’m kind of particular about what I like in it, but there are a lot of odd nooks and crannies in romance.
FLY is a story about a boy who gets a second chance. Help his story take flight June 9th 11am EST on Kickstarter. Thank you for being the wind beneath my wings I hope this story lifts the world to a brighter place.
A coming of age story about Black kids who finally have power to fight back against systems designed against them.
That is DIABOLICAL museum design, A++, no notes
people hate it when i say "black people getting cancer is racist" but im literally fucking right because systemic racism has led to chemical dumping being acceptable in black/brown neighborhoods and black people have higher rates of cancer as a result

You’re just not ready. At no point in this video when he says the next thing are you ready.
rest in peace to this diva
@kaminaduck we were wondering what he was playing...
nimble, a border collie-papillon mix, wins the 12” class in the 2024 masters agility championship. the first time a mixed breed has won at westminster ever.
context explaining why the announcer is screaming, this is supposed to take a high level competitive agility dog 40 seconds
This video makes me cry every time it’s on my dash and I can’t even iterate why.
Like the dog doesn’t even know it’s a competition and she’s made history. She(?) just is happy and knows she made her owner happy too.
The face of a being with only a wind storm between their ears, moments before unleashing it unto the world
always a pleasure to see this girl on my dashboard
