my ultimate fantasy is to have a brain and body that allows me to enjoy being alive

it doesn't matter if you're always right about everything it matters that you try to improve

[akindplace]

at least i cared. at least i showed up. I wasn’t perfect but i was there, and i think trying is better than doing nothing because you’re too scared of being earnest about anything

Being an academic writer and a fandom girlie at the same time is so weird. one day you're writing a comparative analysis about 19th c indigenous writers. and then the next day you're like welp, let's explore the traumas of 2008 bbc merlin

everything is political and it’s not even the slightest bit hard to understand why that is. im so sick of purposeful obtuseness being the norm now. get fucking real immediately like we do not have the time for this

this randomly blew up on twitter so i figured i’d post it here bc lord knows everyone on this app is neurodivergent

*feels my body get anxious for no reason* what is it boy, what do you see?

never lose hope. somewhere, a middle-aged, gender ambiguous person with an advanced degree in an esoteric field and a fiber arts hobby could be crashing out and pinning all their remaining mental health on getting obsessed with your otp. any day now, the most elegantly written 100k fanfic you have ever read is going to hit ao3. it could happen. it has happened.

"just write a little every day" ok but what if i write nothing for 3 weeks and then suddenly type like i’m being hunted by god

Gentle reminder, that sometimes staring at your draft without writing a word is still a valid part of the process. It's just you being in quiet conversation with your story, turning it over and over in your mind. You haven't abandoned it. You're simply circling it, and that counts. So trust the quiet moments as much as the productive ones. You've got this.
