when the persona you made eats you; when the performance youve been putting on eats you; when the name they gave you eats you; when the image people made of you eats you; when the role you were assigned eats you; when the you that other people see or even made for you or you made for them takes over the you that you know and eats you alive.

Something i find so fascinating about sports is when a guy is like my dad was actually legit abusive but it made me the player i am today so i really respect his decision to abuse me. Like well ok do u want to talk abt anything

Constantly obsessed with the concept of a man forced to be a myth. What do you do when every step you take is embedded into the text. Every word you say prose to read. You're part of something bigger than yourself. The narrative tugs you along like water currents. There is no time to rest, to be human. You must be great, you must be legend

ON the subject of undernegotiated kink in fanfiction. i think we should talk more about how the concept of "not talking about it" is just as much wish fulfillment for some people as "in-depth, therapy-speak conversations where everyone is clear and understood" is for others

like yes, in reality the antidote to shame is open honest conversation with someone who will validate your feelings and wants blah blah blah but SOMETIMES what i want out of my fanfic is characters being understood without having to expose themselves in that way. SOMETIMES it's fun to not dismantle the shame and repression all the way and to instead treat that understanding-despite-not-being-clear as the fantasy

“You never thought he was, you know… That way?” “I genuinely did not.” Jason shrugged. “Well, you know. He seemed like the type.” “The type. What do you mean the type. The type like you and I?” “The type like the type who would hide behind his professionalism and career and creep on young lads. Because his normal life is fake and doesn’t make him happy. And these lads like Anthony are the only ones he can feel powerful and content with.” “You think there were more?” “Well, Chelsea, for one, was full of them.” Eddie looked at him in disbelief. Chelsea’s class of 2019, full of young players from the academy during Frank’s first year. It made too much sense.

Franko might be That way.
