if we weren't supposed to press down on bruises they wouldn't have made it feel like that when you do

Being a fic reader is defending fic to people who don’t read it and saying things like “fanfic isn’t weird, it can be beautiful and well written and moving. It’s a way to connect more deeply with the media and it’s a great community.” Then going on ao3, reading the most unhinged, disgustingly out of pocket summary you’ve ever seen in your life paired with a set of tags that makes it very clear that the author should probably have a psychological evaluation and then sighing and reading the fic anyway.

you’re laughing. they’re horrifically misinterpreting my favorite character’s personality and you’re laughing

Kimono (Kosode), Japan, 1840-1860

LETS BE HONEST, THEY ABSOLUTELY SLAYED IN THIS PICTURE 💯

I don’t wanna be me.. anymore. 🌑

why are people so against negative character development? characters don’t need to improve and become better people they can get worse and make mistakes and end up in a worse state than when they began and it’s just as interesting and entertaining as characters developing positively

Very important to have friends who enjoy media you don’t personally enjoy, both because having friends with varying interests can help you understand why someone might enjoy something even if it’s not your cup of tea which can help build empathy skills and also because there’s nothing more fun then being able to explain the plots of your respective obsessions to each other and have the other respond with “what the fuck”

New more mature way of dealing with being bad at things I thought i would be good at

The Haunters and the Haunted, paperback cover by Josh Kirby, 1963

this doesnt seem like a popular opinion on here but sometimes i like when characters die. sometimes its needed to raise the stakes and sometimes its the end best befitting of the character and sometimes its needed to move the narrative forward and sometimes its the only way a character would believably leave their story behind and sometimes it just spices things up a bit. sometimes its fun to watch characters die . sorry
