listen to me, this is so so important: you've gotta get used to really giving it your 60% as a default. like don't half-ass it necessarily but try not to go over 70% or so of an ass. you'll feel better and live a happier more fulfilled life, and on the rare occasions where you do need to lock the fuck in you'll be able to pull off bullshit that the sad miserable wretches giving it their 100% can never dream of, because they're busy draining themselves dry and you have energy reserves to spare.

firm believer you can't be a ''good person''. too much niuance to life.

[whyenn-reader]

you can be good (adjective) but you cannot be good (identity)

[whyenn-reader]

if you think you are good (identity) you are more likely to cause harm as you don't consider yourself to be capable of it

@sherbertilluminated there's a line somewhere in Ursula Vernon's Digger that goes something like "it is difficult to be metaphysical around the truly geologically minded"

[beemovieerotica]

had a dream i was driving in the pokemon universe and something suddenly darted across the road and i ended up hitting a goddamn suicune. legendary reflexes though because i pulled out a pokeball and threw it out my window before she could run. caught her. said aloud "damn i wonder how often this happens." decided to immediately bring suicune out of her pokeball to check stats and i guess she could talk just like entei in that movie because the first thing she says is "ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME???"

one of the most important tweets ever twote

[xiaq]

Ever since I found out that earthworms have taste buds all over the delicate pink strings of their bodies, I pause dropping apple peels into the compost bin, imagine the dark, writhing ecstasy, the sweetness of apples permeating their pores. I offer beets and parsley, avocado, and melon, the feathery tops of carrots.

I’d always thought theirs a menial life, eyeless and hidden, almost vulgar—though now, it seems, they bear a pleasure so sublime, so decadent, I want to contribute however I can, forgetting, a moment, my place on the menu.

Stages Of Writing A Love Story

1. The Setup (Separate Worlds)

Each character is introduced in their own emotional world. We see:

Their wounds, needs, and flaws

What they want vs. what they actually need

Why love is currently not working for them

This stage sets up why the romance matters.

2. The Meet Cute or First Collision

They meet in a way that creates friction, curiosity, or disruption. This can be cute, hostile, awkward, or intense — but it must change something for both of them.

3. Attraction and Tension

They feel drawn to each other, but:

There are obstacles (external or internal)

They deny, resist, or misinterpret their feelings

Chemistry builds through proximity, conflict, or emotional glimpses

This is the slow pull stage.

4. Forced Proximity or Emotional Intimacy

Circumstances push them together:

Working together

Traveling together

Being trapped together

Sharing secrets or vulnerability

This is where emotional bonding starts, even if they don’t admit it.

5. The First Shift (Romantic or Emotional Breakthrough)

A moment changes the nature of their relationship:

First kiss

Confession

One saves the other

A moment of deep understanding

After this, the story is no longer “will they notice each other?” but “what does this mean now?”

6. The Honeymoon or Hope Phase

Things feel good. There’s closeness, trust, or passion. The reader is allowed to believe the relationship might actually work.

This makes the coming conflict hurt more.

7. The Break (The Black Moment)

Something shatters the relationship:

A betrayal, lie, misunderstanding, or revelation

A fear or wound resurfaces

External pressure pulls them apart

This is the emotional low point of the romance.

8. The Growth and Choice

Both characters grow:

They confront their flaws or fears

They choose love intentionally, not accidentally

They become capable of sustaining the relationship

This is where love becomes a decision, not just a feeling.

9. The Reunion and Resolution (HEA or HFN)

They reunite with honesty and emotional maturity. The story resolves with:

A Happily Ever After (HEA) or

A Happy For Now (HFN)

The emotional promise of the genre is fulfilled.

✦ Why This Structure Works

Romance isn’t just about attraction — it’s about emotional transformation through love. Each stage:

Builds intimacy

Introduces risk

Forces growth

Rewards vulnerability

That’s why it feels satisfying.

i love adhd. i have a lot to do at work today. i take my meds. i open the word document. i immediately misspell “benzodiazepines.” i go on tumblr to post “benzodiazepenis….” for the mutualés. and then it’s 45 minutes later and ive caught up on tumblr and checked the weather and read a fic and texted an ex and ordered new pens and looked up a recipe for chicken pot pie and posted about adhd and done zero work.

Do not attempt to out-malicious-compliance the staff at the malicious compliance conference.

[ms-demeanor]

Some dipshit decided to pay the conference fee ($250) in quarters. He handed us a wrapped plastic bag full of loose change. "It's all there," he said with a shit-eating grin, "you can count it."

Oh buddy. We're going to count it. What were you expecting?

At about the time I got to $60, he offered to give us $300 collateral so he could get his badge and go to the conference.

No, bud. You get to watch the most dyscalculic staffer count to a thousand while all your friends go in to the breakfast and find seats for the first talk.

[ms-demeanor]

"Ruining someone's day" is the favorite hobby of everyone here. Why would you hand us the perfect opportunity to wreck your shit and think that was an own? Half the con is calling him "Untraceable," the other half is calling him "Quarter Boy" and nobody cares what he says his handle is.

I spent an hour counting that and made him go fetch me baggies to hold it every fifty dollars.

[ms-demeanor]

This ended up being a good bonus prank for me too, because when the counting was done I wrapped the bags in gaffer's tape and spent the rest of the day handing it to people very casually while saying "oh here, hold this for a sec" and then watching they weren't ready for the weight (I only did this to people I know well enough to know this wouldn't hurt them).

[ms-demeanor]

It's an infosec conference, so it's a weekend in a hotel full of people whose favorite thing is breaking the law and whose second favorite thing is following the letter of the law while cheerfully violating the spirit.

[ms-demeanor]

Thank you, that means a lot coming from you, @unyanizedcatboys

Since it’s Spotify Wrapped season I thought I’d share this reminder that streaming services are killing the music industry. Musicians can’t make a living like this. If you love an artist, find them on Bandcamp and actually buy their albums.

[void-admin]

Reminder: This friday (December 5th) is Bandcamp Friday! That means 100% of the proceeds from album sales on Bandcamp go directly to the artists you buy from.

december 2nd?? what the fuck. what’s next? december 3rd?? a 4th of december???? give me a fucking break.
