Stop being rude to the Ascended Astarion girlies.

They just want to be an evil vampire lord's sugar baby.

And isn't that all what we want in the end?

She will save me.

^whenever I see your post

I am sending happy beam in your direction. Joy for six thousand million years.

"You're gonna be like 'whoa what are the implications of this?'"

Sherbert. Sherbert what do you mean by that-

Heads up for those who are actually gonna read this: I write the way I talk and how my thoughts come to me so this is mostly a ramble sorry in advance- okay so i just had a brainthought and I wanna know if it makes sense

so in one of my favorite fanfictions like, ever, 'Lily's Boy' by SomewheresSword on AO3 (is it the letter O or the number 0?) there's several convos on how pureblood ideology works and what is causing it to be that way and i also keep seeing posts of older, one could say vintage, queers (that was a reference directed specifically at my mum pls don't take it personal-) complaining ig about baby gays not really understanding their history (tbh i kinda fall under that but I'm learning slowly so that's cool) and therefore like,,, making assumptions ig? and taking certain things to extremes? like, in the fanfic most of the problems purebloods have with muggleborns/kids born to non-magical folks (muggle sounds kinda rude to me-) is fears that

a. their continued existence might breach the statue of secrecy and then we get witch trials all over again and

2. if too much of non-mag culture leaks in what will become of the old traditions? like, how yule and samhain aren't really like, celebrated at hogwarts? it's just cristmas and Halloween? and what about the solstices? and I think somewhere it said that the old holidays were banned but that could've been another fic bc I read a LOT (it's kinda a problem actually-) but my point IS, there are also non-mag things that would make sense to have, like lined paper and like, PENS and PENCILS because quills are annoying and does anyone like, teach the kids coming from non-magical households that kinda stuff? like, how the government works or how house elves work (I have mixed feelings about both of these but that's for another ramble) and it kinda seems like that's stuff they SHOULD KNOW??? anyways, what I'm getting at here is that the same sort of problem seems to be happening here too?

as younger generations are dealing with being queer/lgbtqia+ they are also dealing with the prejudices that come with it in a world that kinda accepts them, but also one that does it in a kinda performative way, specifically with companies?

and to me, it seems like a lot of assumptions are being made by the younger generations, but also I personally don't understand all of the problems that older generations are seeing, and i'd like to. tl;dr: I am confused about generational differences and issues therein and if someone with a higher brain capacity could please explain what the baby gays are doing wrong I would greatly appreciate it thank you goodtimezone

Y’ever read something and have understanding that has eluded you interminably suddenly stop, curl up, and snuggle neatly into a fold in your brain because a new way opened to it?

Peace and love

the funniest meltdown ive ever had was in college when i got so overstimulated that i could Not speak, including over text. one of my friends was trying to talk me through it but i was solely using emojis because they were easier than trying to come up with words so he started using primarily emojis as well just to make things feel balanced. this was not the Most effective strategy... until. he tried to ask me "you okay?" but the way he chose to do that was by sending "👉🏼👌🏼❓" and i was so shocked by suddenly being asked if i was dtf that i was like WHAT???? WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY TO ME?????????? and thus was verbal again

My grandfather and my godfather (a beloved neighbor and dear family friend) had a long standing bet- for one dollar- about who would die first. Both of them being slightly pessimistic (in the funny way), they both insisted that they themselves would be the first to die. Any time my grandfather had a health scare, he’d gleefully call up my godfather to boast that he’d be passing “any day now” and he was sure to win the bet. It was a big family joke and they were always amiably sparring and comparing notes about who was in worse shape, medically speaking.

When my grandfather was in hospice care dying of liver cancer, my godfather was quite ill also. It took him great effort to make the journey to see his dying friend. As he came into the room, supported by a family member, he shuffled to my grandpa’s bedside and silently handed him a dollar bill. He was ceding his loss of the bet, as they both knew who was going first. My grandpa had been in quite bad shape for a while and was no longer able to speak but let me tell you he snatched that dollar with unexpected strength and literally laughed aloud. He knew exactly what the gesture meant and he couldn’t help but find the humor within the grief. It was the last time any of us heard my grandpa laugh, as he passed shortly after.

When I talk about my appreciation for “dark humor” I’m not so much thinking about edgy jokes, but rather the human instinct to somehow, impossibly, both find and appreciate the absurdity that is so often folded into the profound grief of life and death. When I tell this story I think it kind of perturbs people sometimes, but it’s honestly one of my favorite memories about two men I really deeply admired. I could never hope for anything more than for my loved ones to remember me laughing until the very end, and taking joy in a little joke as one of my final acts.

Expertise can't help you here.

JUST SAW A FED-EX DRIVER JUMP OUR OF HIS TRUCK AT A REDLIGHT AND RUN UP TO A SECOND FED-EX TRUCK (THREE CARS AHEAD) AND THE GUY LEANED OUT AND THEY JUST KISSED ON THE LIPS? HELLO?

Full of Desires

when i was a kid i wanted to be a famous youtuber like dan and phil so that people would gay ship me with my irl best friend and we would be sooo weirded out by it and laugh and make videos joking about it but secretly it would make her realize her repressed gay crush on me and i'd help her through her gay crisis and then we would have a sickeningly sweet sappy romance and read fanfiction about ourselves together... anyways just found out she's married to a guy in the mafia now so i probably don't have a chance
