GET TO KNOW ME MEME ♡ bands → FLORENCE + THE MACHINE
“Sometimes I find that music is so much more attractive than love. I don’t know… It’s like some kind of euphoria, that love can’t bring to you.”

@tolkienweek 2022 | Favorite Minor Character
[Faramir] was gentle in bearing, and a lover of lore and of music, and therefore by many in those days his courage was judged less than his brother’s. But it was not so, except that he did not seek glory in danger without a purpose. He welcomed Gandalf at such times as he came to the City, and he learned what he could from his wisdom; and in this as in many other matters he displeased his father.

🔹 Someone else's fiction cannot cause you physical harm.
🔹If someone else's fiction is causing you emotional or psychological harm, or distress, you can put it down and not read/watch it.
🔹Your emotional well-being is not the responsibility of fiction writers.
🔹Someone else's fiction is not about your personal trauma.
🔹When reading or watching fiction, you always have the power. You can always stop. You are never reading fiction without your own consent.
🔹Fiction writers are not responsible for other people's mental health.
🔹The content of a piece of fiction does not reflect on the morality of its author.
🔹Just because someone writes about bad things happening, doesn't mean they want those things to happen.
🔹Don't like? Don't read.

really recommend getting a partner with a different religion than you and very little knowledge of your religion because the opportunities for explaining things to each other are just exquisite

I turn 30 next month so here’s what I learned in my 20s:
—don’t work for startups, they’re always one ‘innovative idea’ away adding ‘sell your kidneys on the black market’ to your job description.
—keeping a collection of basic OTC medicine on you will save your life one day. I recommend Advil, Imodium, and TUMS.
—those little single-use glasses cleaning wipes are 1000% worth the money
—overly self-depreciating jokes just make people uncomfortable, wean yourself off of them
—you can buy dehydrated mini marshmallows in bulk online and they’re a godsend for hot cocoa
—people don’t care if you have fidget toys on your desk they just want to play with them
—try to go to bed BEFORE the existential ennui kicks in

a few reminders because i’m tired and angry
fandom is a hobby, not a form of activism
adult women aren’t inherently creepy for being in fandom and having hobbies apart from raising babies and doing taxes
the vast majority of people pushing back against the worrying trend of instigating harassment over fictional characters and relationships aren’t incest supporters or pedophiles, actually
liking a m/f ship doesn’t make someone a dirty heterosexual invading your space
preferring gay ships doesn’t make you ‘’woke’’ and good
no one owes you a disclaimer that they are a good person who recognizes that their favorite fictional villain’s actions are evil and that they don’t condone those actions irl
liking a fictional villain is in no way comparable to advocating abuse/murder/genocide/etc and you’re a fucking idiot if you believe that
just because a woman is attracted to a fictional villain doesn’t mean she’s promoting toxic relationships or going to end up in a toxic relationship. assuming women can’t tell fiction and reality apart stinks of internalized misogyny
some rando’s a/b/o fanfics have none of the level of influence that popular tv shows and movies spreading propaganda have
no one owes you a detailed description of their traumas and mental health problems
abusive relationships are not the same as enemies to lovers ships
y’all need to chill the fuck out over people, relationships, actions and events that don’t actually exist and learn how to enjoy and discuss them like normal people
fandom is a hobby, not a form of activism
feel free to add more

US Tax Day & The IRS - Myth vs Fact
1) Myth - "If you get a small raise that bumps you into a new tax bracket, you'll end up taking home less money."
Fact - We have marginal tax rates, which means you only pay the new higher tax rate on the new part of salary.
2) Myth - "If I make a mistake on my taxes, I'll go to jail."
Fact - If you make a mistake on your taxes, the IRS will likely contact you with a bill to pay the remaining balance, and possibly a fee.
(I know someone who last year had 3 W-2s and only reported 2 of them. The IRS noticed, my friend said oops my bad and paid the remainder. There was no legal consequence, even for a 5 figure mistake.)
3) Myth - "The IRS is out to get ordinary Americans, and funding them more means more annoyance and harassment for me."
Fact - With the IRS' latest increase in funding, they are:
--improving customer experience, from offering a free filing website to reducing phone wait times
--sending refunds and other communications faster, as staff and modern-day computers are added to their operation
--catching unpaid taxes from millionaires and businesses, so that everyone pays their fair share
4) Myth - "Tax season is just one of those things that modern-day developed nations have to deal with."
Fact - Requiring each citizen to file their own taxes is a uniquely American / late-stage capitalism hurdle. The government already knows how much we owe, but TurboTax and others heavily lobby to keep their business as the middle man. In other countries, you just receive a statement from the government that is your tax owed or your refund, and that's all you have to do.

Talk by Hozier is just playing on loop in my mind most days.
First verse, a heartbreaking summary of Orpheus & Eurydice.
Second verse, a bit more vague to me for years, but it fits exactly to the Kisses in the Dark fiction podcast.
I'd be the last shred of truth
In the lost myth of true love
I'd be the sweet feeling of release
Mankind now dreams of
That's found in the last witness
Before the wave hits
Marvelling at God
Before he feels alone
One final time
And marries the sea
Imagine being loved by me
I won't deny I've got in my mind now all the things I would do
So I'll try to talk refined for fear that you find out how I'm imaginin' you

"too sweet to be savory"
"I'd never fall for someone I thought couldn't misbehave"
Hozier on the meaning behind Too Sweet 🖤
❝ But the song as an idea was kind of an alternative for the circle of gluttony on the record. ❞

Another thing I adore about OFMD is how the discussion of masculinity is so nuanced. It's like - the best way I can think to describe the depiction of gender in OFMD is it's like the opposite of the recent Barbie movie, if that makes sense? I thought Barbie was fine but its understanding of gender was very basic to the point of being almost reductive, and the whole movie just screamed "this was written by cis people!" OFMD has the exact opposite vibes, you can TELL there were trans writers in the writing room.
So often, when we see gay relationships in media, there's an attempt to force the characters to be "the feminine one" and "the masculine one" in a very transparent showing of how they're too scared of queerness so there have to be some gender roles shoved in there. Ed and Stede turn that trope right on its fucking head.
Because Ed and Stede both have different and complex relationships with their own masculinity, and they're both feminine and masculine in different ways. Stede worries about being seen as soft and struggles with what a "man's work" should look like, but even in more practical clothes he loves his little accessories and he just adores showy, campy clothing. Ed feels forced into an ideal of hyper-masculinity, but he also loves wearing soft robes, painting his nails, and writing poetry. He painted a bride cake topper to look like himself as an expression of his deepest, most tender dreams and it's never made into a joke. OFMD's thesis statement is that "the things we're taught about being a man are wrong," and it shines through in every angle of the show. The men on the show are allowed to be tender as hell and it's a fucking strength.
It's such a lovely, queer thing, to see both of these characters get to express feminine traits in their own masculine way, without the narrative telling us they're any less of a man for it or asking us to laugh at them.
