Guys I'm in the process of buying a house which no one fucking told me is like speed dating the most expensive fucking mail order bride on EARTH and each one has bad floors or wont take your credit card or hates kids or whatever.

ANYWAY. I'm having a panic attack because I found a new mail order bride that's PERFECT--great floors. Likes me credit card. Even likes kids!‐‐and i emailed my bestie my rambling panick attack at 1am.

EXCEPT I SENT IT TO MY LENDER INSTEAD AND NOW I HAVE TO STOP SEEING THE MAIL ORDER BRIDE BECAUSE I CANT LOOK MY MATCHMAKER IN THE FACE HELP

ngl i’m reading sterek fic tonight. hope you crazy kids are happy in supermega hell with destiel.

Weird trigger that will make me anxious and often close out of a fic if I encounter it:

but he couldn’t help it.

A character acknowledging problematic behavior and handwaving it with they just can't help themselves is super not for me. That's a bit too close to the racists, emotionally abusive assholes who spent years tearing at me with a smile and a 'i can't help it' excuse.

[areiton]

Sometimes I look at past coping mechanisms and I wonder how the hell I thought I was happy in that relationship.

Hey, you mentioned in the tags that you can't read the comics?? Is there a reason for that or is it a personal choice, no pressure to answer.

At this point, a bit of both. I’ve tried, off and on for years, to get into comic reading. And while I adore the content in DC and Marvel, and the art is amaaaazing--I struggle to really grasp the whole of the storyline. I get distracted and confused and it’s just not a super enjoyable experience for me. (Incidentally, the lack of connection with comics is why my brothers tracked down superhero books for me as a teen.) 

I actually really like seeing comics and meta for them in tumblr posts, like the one you’re referencing, so like--more of that, if anyone has links. 

But, overall, while I do love them and it’s sometimes physically painful to not read them--I’ve found I’m happier not trying to force myself to enjoy a medium that isn’t for me. 

Storytelling, in all forms, is gorgeous and important and should be encouraged. But, just like every story is not for every person, every medium is not for every person.

I'm home and not traveling again until the middle of July and so happy I could cry.

I'm gonna write as soon as I finish work.

(Traveling to see Moth doesn't count as travel. It's a day trip.)
