Me searching for fanfics after watching a series/film/videogame/reading a book and becoming obsessed with that character:

there is a level of seduction that exists beyond the body. something less tangible, and perhaps more potent. anais nin understood this idea about how desire does not begin with touch but with language, perception, and the sharp electric pull of a mind that challenges and excites you. in her journals, desire is not just a physical hunger but a hunger of the intellect, an unraveling of thought before an unraveling of the body. to be drawn into someone’s mind, to feel their thoughts press against your own, can be more intoxicating than any physical closeness.

—Caitlyn Richardson, 'can intellectual intimacy replace physical desire?', in milk fed

the fact that helen of troy is a mother is soooo crazy to me bc no one ever ever ever looks at her like that. they will give her every other title except mother. what if she’s not the face that launched a thousand ships or menelaus’ wife or paris’ lover or aphrodite’s pawn or the traitor or the downfall or the most beautiful woman in the world what if she is just a girl’s mom sometimes. does anyone remember??? she has a little girl. she used to rock her to sleep

"this character acted irrationally and i don't like it :/" people act irrationally in real life all the time. why do you want stories to be boring. "it made me uncomfortable" GOOD. learn to be uncomfortable from harmless fictional situations and perhaps you'll handle yourself better next time you're uncomfortable irl

[diarygirls]

it sure is fun being private and closed off but just once or twice i would like to submit to the mortifying ordeal of being known without it being such a mortifying fucking ordeal

[disgustinggf]

no such thing as too much love. or too much garlic

Don’t make your younger self into your own dead wife.

Don’t make your older self into a husband you resent. Idk

be around people who think everything about you is a big deal. your birthday. favorite food. favorite flowers. you in general. a big deal.
