'Little Lark' is the hill on which I die

Mid-30's, she/her, bi/pan. Returning to fandom after a decade. Obsessive reader, (very slow) writer of fics, occasionally fanartist. No hate here  — I subscribe to "live and let live", "don't like don't read", etc — we're all just fans playing in the same sandbox.

Reblog the writers’ fortune cookie for luck!

[redeadepression]

Guys I reblogged this and then wrote an 8000 word story I didn’t even have a solid plan for. Reblog this shit.

It's slowly starting to sink in that I'm now getting paid to code and develop, and I'm just like... 🥺😭 I think I made it? Like, I'm starting my journey as a professional programmer and developer. And I love my new job.

Me, a dev!

Blows my mind. I think I made it. ❤

do you ever just look at a girl and realise how fucking gay you are

[ace-thinks]

If someone is coming out to you/telling you about their sexuality, match their energy.

If they’re not making it a big deal, you shouldn’t either.

If they’re really nervous or emotional, respond with compassion.

If they’re excited, be excited with them.

I’ve seen a lot of things that seem to imply that it’s always best to be really super amped about someone coming out, but that kind of energy can be embarrassing or uncomfortable if the person doesn’t feel the same way.

On the flip side, if you respond with indifference, you might think you’re being s good friend by not caring whether they’re gay or straight or whatevs, but that can be extremely invalidating if this is a monumental or exciting moment for the person.

Read the room, match the energy.

Best supportive coming out advice I've ever read

Just gonna go off topic and mention how many times I, a cisgender woman, shave my upper lip because facial hair feels out of sync with my gender identity. I don’t understand why cis people fail to see all the little ways we affirm our gender every day and fail to extrapolate how much more intense it is for trans people.

you can't waste your life btw it's just not something that's possible to do. your mere existence is already a precious and valuable use of your time. the time you spent becoming who you are now was inherently worthwhile

Target knows when you’re pregnant. There’s a guest ID number tied to your credit card that tracks what you purchase, so they notice if you start buying vitamin supplements and unscented lotions. 

That’s how an angry man in Minneapolis, who went to a local Target to yell at the manager for sending maternity coupons to his teenage daughter, found out he was actually about to become a grandpa.

This sounds fucking dystopian and I hate that this is our reality

[note-a-bear]

Uhhh I just want anyone who thinks this is funny to recognize that this can literally actually get people killed. Targeted advertising can actually ruin lives and it's fucked that we now have to plan and account for this type of shit

Fanfic is the triumph of character-based relationship building over the need for clever plot or pretty cinematography. It says “I don’t care what they do; I care about what they feel, and how that makes me feel.”

They finally made it to the coast 🏝

Every other week my patrons vote on which one of my sketches I finish and this one won a couple weeks ago!

I'm sure I've said this before but it's like so weird to me how people tend to think of scientific interest as antithetical to sentiment like noo.. What do you think drives people to study something so intently. Do you really think there's no passion behind it. Have you ever heard a scientist talk

[tlirsgender]

People will be so captivated by a certain subject they devote their lives to it & then the general public is like "numbers are the opposite of feelings though"

[softgrlfriend]

the fact that I have to be in the “right headspace” to do even the simplest tasks. absolutely humiliating

[uncensored-alchemy]

Its 3.40 am and im feeling so SO mentally unstable over my current fictional character obsession.

There are so many thoughts and feelings and i think the sane thing would be to go to bed. Its been at least a decade since a character affected me this strongly and i was/am not prepared.

Oh well. Back to skipping through a show I no longer care about just to get to see them for a few minutes. I have a feeling this wont end well, not for the character, and not for my heart which i fear is about to be broken.

Edit: its now 6 am. I am going to sleep. Hopefully tomorrow I find out if happy ending or sad ending.
