i know the tooth-stealing rituals are intricate. i know.
Hey people who leave nice tags on my art I would die for you
i find it funny when people tell me i'm "a pedophile" when i talk about certain pairings in any way other than 100% family friendly and even just imply they fucked or fooled around bcs like
most of the time
i'm projecting my own lived experiences as a gay teenager onto them, all the awkwardness, all the self-doubt, all the confusion, the subtle touches out of a fear of being caught, the sneaking around, the uncertainty, being scared to truly embrace who you are, the delicate unsure touches and the much-too-hard grabs as you're navigating this completely new territory that you never got guidance on and never truly will, all you have is your own knowledge and discovery and it's something that is - in fact - very often an integral part of identity and discovering who you are
i have these characters go through the same things i did at their age, things that people are probably still going through, because processing real life things is often easier when its through the lens of fiction and its comforting to imagine that you aren't alone in it, that these characters who mean a lot to you are sharing that burden you once carried alone
tell me why i, a cis girl, absolutely love it when strangers on the internet call me he/him
SHIPPING CALL ?
The other day I was talking to this girl and she asked “Are you doing school or finished?” and I just said “I dropped out.” Which – I totally throw that at people to see if they’ll flinch. Because it’s the thing that i’m ashamed of and is unavoidable, so instead of eliding it or phrasing it nicely I just fling it out there blunt and ugly. She was obviously very surprised and went on a very long rambling thing about how that’s okay, it isn’t for everyone, she got really lucky knowing what she wanted to do but she knows it’s complicated, and.... I found myself getting annoyed and wanting to cut her off and go “You don’t understand, it wasn’t like that.”
Which, like.... as I told myself at the time okay, this girl is like 22 years old and she’s in grad school so she’s been in academia for her entire (short) adult life, she’s probably been surrounded by people like her, I’m way far outside of her experience and she is trying to show me she understands and doesn’t judge me, she is trying to be nice, even if she’s going on too long and missing the mark it isn’t her fault.
I was still miffed, but it was also sort of my own fault, you know?
