Everytime I see posts like this I get filled with such profound sadness
Cause you know who has the same brainrot as you? The same unhinged feelings as you after you've read the fic? The person who always wants to scream about the fic with you?
THE PERSON WHO WROTE IT
I never used to leave comments but since I got into the habit of commenting on everything i enjoy it's been incredible. Especially when the author gets back to me about it and we get to have a discussion of what other ideas they had. One writer replied to my comment with a 5 paragraph essay detailing the Floorplan of the building the characters lived in and it was incredible
Anyways this is all to say that if you find a fic that just makes you want to scream from the rooftops, leave a comment saying that to the author and maybe they will join you and you can scream incoherently together

actually that ao3 post about calculating kudos-to-hits ratios to decide if a fic is worth reading has me so pissed off. someone put real time and energy into something they are SHARING WITH YOU FOR FREE on a site where you can quite literally filter and search by anything you want and you're STILL trying to find a foolproof method to find stuff that's "good enough to read"???
YOU ARE NOT THE TARGET AUDIENCE FOR EVERYTHING
you don't have to like or read everything in a given fandom or tag, but you also don't have to be a cunt about it and imply that it's not worth reading. this is the kind of shit that moves people to stop creating altogether, and to see people agreeing in the tags is so disheartening. absolutely unserious behavior.

Holding out my heart
A friend told me the other day
I was holding out joy and warmth,
Fun and the fruits of my garden,
Offering them to you freely.
It's the story of us.
I offer myself again and again
Knowing! Knowing you will balk!
Knowing you will let me fall
Again and again and again.
You offer yourself,
On your terms.
In your space.
In your time.
You offer yourself in small moments
Rambles in between the masks
A smile that fills my entire chest with warmth.
You offer yourself with
Asterisks
With warnings not to get too attached,
Not to expect too much
Not to expect... anything.
You call at 3am when you're exhausted of all other company,
You stay up all night talking on the couch,
You're still talking and smiling and wanting me to stay even as I leave after 24 hours together.
It was always that way,
10 hour shifts together, followed by hours watching the sunrise on the back of your car.
Staying out hiking and watching the stars so long the rising sun lights the way home.
There was a time you felt like home.
It drives me crazy how easily you felt that way again.
But
You offer yourself with fear,
With the certainty that everyone leaves and therefore no one is worth your commitment.
So when the choice is presented,
You always choose to run.
You always run.
You
Always
Run.
I offer myself, I offer my heart,
I offer my garden and my affection and my time.
I offer myself
And you run
And I fall
Again and again.

Saw something about Hua Cheng always being able to sense his ashes so he can always sense Xie Lian and I just think it adds a hilarious take to him giving Xie Lian his ashes. Like yes it’s a beautiful and romantic ghostly tradition but there is something so funny about him given them to him the moment he has to leave so he doesn’t lose him again after 800 years of searching like someone tagging a bird to track their migration habits. He is not taking no fucking chances.

Yesterday, Israel agreed to pause attacks on Gaza for 4 hours a day to allow civilians to flee to safer areas.
Today, while fleeing on a road they were promised were safe, civilians were attacked by Israeli tanks.

I have been really sad lately. And I noticed. I noticed the whole process. But I couldn't stop it. And it sucks. Like, I realised I couldn't pick up my book since last week. And I stopped eating on a regular basis. I can't remember the last night I slept through. And it sucks. It's going downhill and all I can do is watch my boat burn.

for real! (from kadji amin)
[Image description: Screenshot of text:
What I've realized is that I believe that the matter of gender is practical and relational. It's not about who you are inside, it's more about how you would feel most comfortable in the world. It's not 'Who are you?' but 'How do you want to live?'
Had that been the discourse when I was coming up, I would have breathed a sigh of relief. I don't have to figure out who I am on the inside, I just have to figure out how I want to live.
