The Pianist

imagine yourself walking down a grand corridor lit up by a sunset streaming through the huge stain glass windows. you hear the faintest, most beautiful tinkling piano music drifting through the crack between the two heavy solid wood doors at the end of the hallway and in wonderment, walk softly towards it. as you peer through the doors' sliver of an opening, you see a ballroom bathed in sunlight. right in the middle is a sleek black grand piano with someone playing the crescendo of the piece. you can't see them because the view is blocked by a thick white pillar, but you soak up the euphoric sounds while you can. and the song ends. you take this chance to step fully into the ballroom. as you approach the pianist, you see them deep in thought, eyes glazed over. you smile at them as you take a glance at the piece's sheet music ... ah. they're not wearing any pants.

i’m nauseous again but i don’t know if it’s because i was sick, because my period started today and the pain is comparable to being stabbed or because the election is today

So here's the thing about TV vs. reality and the endless "age gap" debate.

There are things under this read more that could be triggers for some people. Okay then.

I got home from work tonight to find a message in my inbox thanking me for the following tags on a recent post:

#no but seriously when you start telling other people#what can and cannot trigger them#you need to step the FUCK back and check your privilege#because the fact that a bad thing hasn’t happened to you#or any of your followers#who btw are a really skewed research sample brain trust#doesn’t mean it hasn’t happened to anyone

And I’m going to do something that is unbelievably unlike me, not because I think it will make any cosmic difference, but because if it makes one person feel less alone, it’s worth it.

I had an incredibly iffy relationship with one of my high school teachers. He was married, two kids. Nothing sexual ever happened, and it’s not even remotely something that haunts my soul or causes me to need to have chats in therapy. We flirted, double-talked, spent a lot of time together in his room after school, shared secrets, did a lot of unnecessary hugging. He almost kissed me once, but I turned my head away and he never tried anything that direct again.

At the time, I thought the entire situation was amazing. I was insanely flattered by his attention, by being singled out from all the other girls in my class to be the object of his affection. He was funny, hot, older by probably almost 20 years, and he always knew the right thing to say to “poor little me.” *rolls eyes so hard*.

Poor little me. Overweight, no cool clothes, no cool friends, no talents anyone was interested in (being smart didn’t give me a lot of cred back then), no self-esteem, acne, bad hair — the geek girl who was salutatorian and voted “most likely to succeed,” but to succeed at what?

He made me feel important, because I was an idiot.

I was also 18. ”Legal.”

It's not that I blame myself for any of it. I don't. I blame him. But the point is that at the time, I wasn't equipped with enough maturity and emotional/psychological development to make choices that were good for me.

TV isn’t real. I get it.

That doesn’t excuse a single person in fandom from the responsibility to be a human.

And when you ship something so hard that you lash out against real living breathing human beings and against endless volumes of scientific evidence about cognition and brain development purely because you want a certain tab A to be inserted into slot B … 

Probably you are the one who needs to get off the internet.
