book man is coming with me to one of my work events and he was like "tell me which ones I should intimidate" because I am the only woman on a team of like 7 men and generally they're all some brand of awful to me (dismissive, inappropriate flirting/lashing out when i don't flirt back, dragging me along to go golfing with them during onsite events, drawing me weird pictures and delivering them as a weird bullying/flirting thing, etc).

and i never ever thought that kind of offer of "who should I intimidate for you" would be attractive to me bc 1) i fight my own battles lol that has actually been the theme of my whole miserable life and 2) it isn't a possessive thing to say or anything, but i always thought men offering things like that was a little icky / annoying. HOWEVER even though i will not be taking him up on it, i was surprised to find that i was actually very?? pleased?? to have it offered?? idk

did some reflecting and realized that in my past relationships i always had to be the one to get between the threatening/upsetting thing and my partner. i always was the one to get between Bad Outside Stimulus and the person i was dating, and i was the one who would Take Care Of It. and i think part of that is how i grew up bc i am very used to charged, anxiety inducing environments and deescalating them

but having someone offer to be like "yeah I'll deal with the stressful thing myself if you'd like me to. they're not going to faze/intimidate me" was?? very nice???? idk, even when i introduced my last bf to my family he was very much like ahhHHHhhhHHHh and the whole time i was on edge feeling like i had to protect him from them, and i was happy to do that because i loved him and wanted him to feel safe. but book man is going to meet my family in december and it already feels so different? i warned him like "yeah my dad might do some out of pocket stuff as a power play" and he was like "alright, good to know. that will be funny."

he is just very secure?? in himself?? and does not need me to intervene (though i would be happy to intervene). and it is so nice to have this feeling of "yeah, i could lean on this person and trust him to figure some of this stuff out without me watching/monitoring."

maybe it is just bc this is a more mature relationship than i have had in the past, but i cannot express how nice the "yeah, he's got it" energy is. and it isn't even a gendered thing, like i think anyone of any gender is capable of possessing that sort of air. but yeah, i am a PUDDLE of emotions and im trying to figure out what to do with all of them

Harding yelling at Emmrich for bringing books on a camping trip is so insulting.

You see, Harding, this is why we cannot be friends.

I own an entire library, sorted in reverse alphabetical order. And I know that’s how Emmrich organizes his books, too. I can tell.

Why wouldn’t you bring books on a camping trip?

What are you going to do? Hike?

Gross. Read next to the campfire and stay warm. 

That’s clearly what he’s going to do in a place infested with the blight.

If you’re going to drag him along to dangerous territory, I’d rather he stay safe with his books.📚

was out and about with book man and he looked at me when we were walking back to the car and said "i have such a huge crush on you" (we've been dating five months, he's moving in lol)
