I was talking to one of the archeologists one day during our lunch break and he asked those kinds of “getting to know you” questions you ask young people: Do you play sports? What’s your favorite subject? And I told him, no I don’t play any sports. I do theater, I’m in choir, I play the violin and piano, I used to take art classes.
And he went WOW. That’s amazing! And I said, “Oh no, but I’m not any good at ANY of them.”
And he said something then that I will never forget and which absolutely blew my mind because no one had ever said anything like it to me before: “I don’t think being good at things is the point of doing them. I think you’ve got all these wonderful experiences with different skills, and that all teaches you things and makes you an interesting person, no matter how well you do them.”
And that honestly changed my life. Because I went from a failure, someone who hadn’t been talented enough at anything to excel, to someone who did things because I enjoyed them. I had been raised in such an achievement-oriented environment, so inundated with the myth of Talent, that I thought it was only worth doing things if you could “Win” at them.
no because nobody understands how hard it was to find x reader fics of anyone in the gaang or atla fandom in general before this movie came out. now there’s new fics coming out daily. I USED TO PRAY FOR TIMES LIKE THIS‼️
Over 90% of parents of visibly intersex children opt for cosmetic surgery on their infants.
The ones that don't experience medical violence then, likely experience it as a teenager.
I didn't.
I am very rare in that I did not experience medical violence.
Why? Because I learned what intersexuality was as a young age, and I actively fought against what doctors wanted to do to me. All the way down to legal research on what medical care minors can be forced into. I remember walking into that doctor's appointment with the state law written down that proved that if I did not consent they could not do surgery.
That is why intersex activism is important. It saved me and it will save more.
summary: When you meet Jungkook— an older man who is amazing in bed, you thought it would be a simple arrangement of casual sex. Except things start getting serious and before you know he’s asking you on dates and introducing you to his daughter… Of course, he doesn’t know that you’re bad with kids and never wanted one of your own— well, at least it was just something temporary… right?.
pairing: business! fem reader x dad! jeon jungkook

— temporary freak outs. (one shot)
╰➤ You’re not having the best day. Luckily, Jungkook is there to make it better. With his presence… and maybe a really expensive rock he had been hidden for months.
Grabbing you roughly by your sexy belly rolls and using them as anchors to create momentum and slam inside you, watching your entire body deform like a soft cloud from the impact that knocks the wind out of you. “So beautiful!” He loves the transformation. He loves how your soft body jiggles and changes. He loves how malleable you are, how mouldable. Because he sure is moulding your insides with his cock.
John Price's Missus just had her baby. They are exhausted and overworked and doing their best, and the team decides to be their village.
Kyle who calls his mother for all her freeezer meal recipes. Lasagnas, casseroles, etc. After explaining the situation, she decided she would make some as well to deliver. Kyle who spends the whole day (and night) in the kitchen for one recipe he's never made before because you deserve a good meal.
Simon, who comes over during the night sometimes. Arriving at their home at nine or ten pm, staying until they wake up to do whatever he can to help. He's already awake at night, so why not spend his time helping? He does some cleaning that neither have been able to get to. He holds the baby when she starts crying and rocms her until she falls back asleep. Usually, by six in the morning, he's asleep on Missus' chair in the nursery after watching over the baby.
Johnny, who is so focused on Mama and papas health :(. Maybe labor was really difficult for her, and he just knows she needs someone other than her husband. Someone to pick up the groceries when all they wanted to do was cuddle in bed or hold their babe. He helps price take on the load of the whole household.
141 who are just so soul bonded with each other istg. They'd do more than just kill for one another. They'd live for each other.
idk if this is a boomer take but I think ppl should make more of an effort to go see movies in theaters bc I couldn’t bear it if the movie theater industry went down and the only way to watch movies was through streaming I’m not strong enough
Actually I’ll make it even more boomer because I genuinely think it’s a good thing for people to have a reason to put down social media for an hour or two and just focus all their attention on a movie together and get fully immersed like I think that’s good practice for our attention spans and ultimately for our mental health (unless you’re a person who uses your phone during the movie in the theater in which case uh idk die)
soap has a file on his hard drive with all the plans for the wedding, as well as contingencies in case of the worst happening.
(he notes down a larger venue that would work if you end up marrying kyle, or a more intimate place if you marry simon. adds lots more decor to the budget to make it more like your dreams if it's john, because he knows he can afford it)
I still read it but man is it hard sometimes. Only time I don’t judge is when the author says that English isn’t their first language. As an English speaker I get it lol
