male authors, writing m/m friendships: their bond will develop through hundreds of chapters, we will get to see each stage of their budding relationship, they'll constantly be in each other thoughts, their first instinct will always be to reach for the other, their first worry will always be the other's safety, they'll spend every minute of the day together, they'll be complete opposites and yet perfectly compliment each other, they will put everything they ever loved in risk just to keep the other safe, they will give their life without hesitation to save the other's, they will fight and argue and tease and joke around but they will always be at each other's side at the end of the day, they will plan to spend the rest of their lives together, sharing the happy moments and the hard times, the idea of being without the other being unthinkable, the thought of being always together coming naturally, as easy as breathing.
the same male authors, writing m/f romance: she'll like,, smile once at him and he'll start thinking of marrying her and having children with her idk

not to be dramatic but getting myself a wax warmer was one of the best things I've done for myself in terms of 'little things to make myself happy' I am terrified of open flame in the house due to past life events but really love scent as something that can soothe and calm and idk I just love that I can fill my house with scents I like and that are soothing but there's no fire and I am focusing on more like this for 2024. Welcoming little simple things into my life that I may have said 'no, that's frivolous' to before.

Hey y’all! I think I want to make some of my own patterns for doll clothes, but I don’t know much about fashion or clothing in general. Currently, my list of clothes I want to make patterns for is two items long, and those two items are just “bellbottoms” and “a dress? of some kind? with a circle skirt”.
If you have any suggestions of types of clothes or like clothes names or things you’d like to see doll versions of, please let me know! And feel free to send me pictures or just names of things, idk what to search to find different kinds of dresses/skirts/etc

I know I've made this post before but it is literally so wonderful that I work in a place that has an enormous number of books for children about self soothing and feeling your feelings so that when I am extremely emotional at the end of the day I can read a nice book with beautiful illustrations that encourages me to feast at the buffet of human emotion. wah

every day of my life last five years i've spent pretending to be normal, looked everyone in the eye hiding the guilt and the shame and the depth of my depravity, covering hideous tendencies with a thick veil of well-woven lies, a façade so reliable and solid that i believed it myself. i decided it's a part of me, that there is nothing behind that veil, below that carpet, i may as well lean on it and feel the coarse texture of plaster on the wall, rest my head and sense the cold ceramic tiles coating the floor. and i do. and they bear my weight loyally, sometimes slightly bending under the pressure, if the temperature's jumping and the underground waters play with the house's foundation. i feel almost safe in my sanity, protected, unstained. but every once in a while comes the fearful kiss from reality, red lines crawl out of my carpet, as the wall i'm clawing at dissipates under my nails — showing the fridge filled with heads, hands and black goo everywhere, puppets of various degrees of obscenity, sweaty towels, shards of broken 8 balls, hung plushies, char left from someone's burned grandmother and a taxidermized old man, bits of robots with blood still pouring from their pipe branches, piles upon piles of corpses, yet another head in a microwave... and so much more things i couldn't bear to stop my gaze on.
all these things are stuck in my mind. all of them are always in my mind, no matter how hard i try to ignore them.
and the worst thing, is that i am
i myself am
...i am, too, homestu--

"Sure, I can fill you in." And with that, Zenkichi starts explaining the details and peculiarities of the case. People vanishing without rhyme or reason, showing up again in places they shouldn't have been able to reach, rambling about strange delusions and forgetting everything within a few days... well, some have reappeared, at least. There are still those who haven't, which is why the police is so worried to begin with.
The ramblings he's heard haven't sounded like people have wandered into a Jail, or anything that obvious, but there's something still a little familiar about the way they talk that makes him hesitant to dismiss them.
The explanation takes a while, but when he's done, Zenkichi shoots Naoto another question.
"So, any initial thoughts? I'm not gonna lie, it all feels a bit out of my pay grade." And he's in a pretty well-respected position.
