I always wonder what made bait blogs deactivate

Was it guilt? Did an ask get through to you? Which part managed to touch your cold heart?

Or does the fabled tumblr shadow ban feature actually exist, and you're still there, spewing nonsense into the deep void, never to be seen or heard from again?

I need to know

Your diehard love of physiological diseases is so based and inspiring as someone with a special interest in psychopathology who also does thought-out diagnoses for characters and then realizes I can't share some of them cause some people use ableist/sanist headcanons in terrible faith lol

I KNOW RIGHT. people take it so personally... i completely understand why those diseases have such a strong stigma behind them and i think its important to study the social movements behind them... but at the same time, I really just wish I could separate them from their stigma because in a vaccuum, they are really interesting organisms! especially for viruses and cancers, which are usually associated with a lot of tragedy and terror

I was driving with my mom earlier, and she asked me “How do you feel about lights?” to try and prompt me to turn my headlights on, but my autistic ass took the question too literally so instead of turning on my headlights, I just sorta went “…You mean like…philosophically???”

I love Hadestown, I love that people love Hadestown, but given how queer musical fandom is I feel like they tend to miss something about it.

Namely, that Hadestown is a deeply, deeply heterosexual musical.

It is impossible for the crowd to be philosophically enlightened.

This is weird to articulate but sometimes I feel like I'm an undertaker for craft supplies. Like if you believe that unused yarn has some metaphysical weight of the intentions behind its purchase and assembly, then a person's yarn stash has a life in itself. The potential of it, the emotional blessing of envisioning that perfect hat or sweater or mitten. Imaginings of the recipient of the project. I think all of that infuses it with an importance far beyond the $.79 price tag on a skein of cream acrylic from 1972.

I've inherited the supplies from each of my grandmothers, and now one of my partner's grandmothers. In the bags I inevitably find little scraps with notes of a pattern, a shopping list, a partially knitted or wound up ball, maybe a pompom or some blanket squares. They're so infused with that crafter's life.

And I take them and make them into little things and I give them a purpose and it feels like I lay them to rest. It's ok little skein, you're doing good, and you can be a little pillow or blanket or hat now. You can bring love and warmth and rest now.

And I add all the little thoughts and scraps of my own life to it by imagining my recipient or my own use of it.

Who are you mod? I’m always quite fascinated by the way you engage with fandom and the way you talk about certain topics. Of course you don’t have to share but what are you doing in your life? Like what kinda of job do you have and how old are you? Bc you come off so intellectual and aware, I just really wonder what kind of person there is behind this blog. Why are you so interested in Larry/ Harry and Louis?

There's no moderator here - it's just me and my thoughts. I am pretty reticent about aspects of my life for privacy reasons. I'm in my 40s and have quite a few life experiences that are feeding into this.

What drew me to Louis and Harry was the fantasy of young queer love that I had missed out on. What keeps me here is that I really enjoy using this as a springboard to explore the world.
