I'm 7 minutes into a 20 minute YouTube video and ads interrupted the video 4 times. I hate it here.

Sleep cycle is fucked but the good news is that if I keep going, I can sync my sleep schedule to the World Cup games 😌

Catching up on the three Rs today: reading, writing, and responding.

[wildelydawn]

It's such a little thing, but in your stories, you always write characters asking for explicit permission to touch. I've been reading them all, and I realized none of my partners have ever asked to touch me. It's just a constant taking and taking, and I never realized how important it is for me to be asked if I can be touched. So, thank you.

Hi; I first just want to say that this is a very jarring and tough realization to have, so I hope you’re okay, and I hope you’re safe. Please know you can come off anon and talk to me if you need someone to listen to you.

And you’re right; asking for explicit consent at many stages happens a lot in my stories and when I edit, I have to remind myself to remove the asking if it doesn’t fit the context of the story. Asking before doing is subconscious on my part because I do this in real life. Besides an emergency (which has never happened, thankfully) I don’t touch 98% people without asking. No hugs, no calming hand on the shoulder. The only exception to this rule is my partner and my best friend but even then, I announce what I’m doing. “Hey, I’m going to hold your hand” or “Hugs!” or “Can we dance?” I think a lot of people find it weird at first because I’ll say things like “Oh, handshake!” when someone’s offering, and that can be awkward. But it’s rubbed off onto my friends now too haha. I just think it’s the kind thing to do (if you can manage it verbally).

But if you’re asking in the context of YLTTL, WIK asks Porchay about these little things because choice is important to him. He has so little choice in his life, he can’t imagine doing that to someone like Porchay.

This was a long answer. My apologies. Please stay safe and know that it’s totally okay to have these conversations with partners and friends. 🖤

Been thinking a lot lately about this comment and the person who sent this, both in terms of writing and in my every day life.

I hope you're doing okay out there, friend. Stay well.

Explaining tumblr to anyone

[saveyourhelplessspite]

okay so we all understand that sexual attraction doesn't always lead to sex. are we ready to consider that romantic attraction doesn't always lead to romance.

[saveyourhelplessspite]

and i dont mean this in a "its for your own good we dont date" way, or a "they got turned down and are still friends" way, i mean it in a "there is romantic attraction present but the one experiencing it doesnt want to do anything with it" way. am i making sense. are you hearing the words im saying. it wont fucking kill you if you dont act on it. like obviously you should probably communicate it someday but you dont have to let it dictate you or consume you. its just a feeling.

[absolutelynotclassicusernam-blog]

Can I add that you don’t have to communicate it? If you need to personally, then by all means. But it’s also okay to just feel it as long as you feel it and then let it pass. Attraction comes in many flavors and sometimes it’s just something to feel inside yourself and that’s okay.
