Every Body

your disabled, fat, deformed, intersex, trans, scarred body is worthy. claim it.

your stare attracting, "ugly," "grotesque," "freakish" body has beauty. love it.

your weak, exhausted, painful, uncooperative body is deserving of care. be gentle with it.

the body that doesn't look like you is a vessel for you to experience joy. respect it.

no body needs censorship. every body is equal.

How is it that the world keeps going, breathing in and out unchanged, while in my soul there is a permanent scattering?

snippet!

I was tagged by @boosbabycakes28 (thank youuu!) to post a snippet from my wip. This is from my angsty, soulmates sickfic for @1domegaverseficfest

His stiff posture unchanged, Harry’s jaw twitched before he spoke. “I don’t know what you expect me to say. All is forgiven? Because it’s—.” Harry uncrossed his arms, his tote bag falling to the pavement. Even though this conversation was clearly not going in the direction Louis had hoped, he instinctively reached down to pick the bag off the ground.  “Nothing’s forgiven, Louis,” Harry snapped, snatching the bag from Louis’ grasp. His fingers brushed Louis’ for only a moment. “If you want to make anything better, just leave me alone.” The force that flowed through Louis’ fingers knocked him a bit sideways, causing him to stumble. At first he thought Harry had shoved him away, but in the next instant a burning pain seared up his arm. He clutched it in confusion, looking back at Harry as though for answers, but he’d already turned away from him.  Dread filled his heart. This had been the moment Louis had been waiting for all his life, his soulmate’s touch bonding them to one another forever. Louis can feel the bond, an invisible string between them tying its knot only to immediately be sliced through with Harry’s rejection of it.  “Sorry to bother you then,” Louis managed to croak out.

If I had a nickel for every time Ben Barnes portrayed a morally gray villain in a Netflix show who got his face terribly scarred at the very end of the first season, and also got his girlfriend a bouquet of blue irises, I'd have two nickels. It isn't much, but it's weird that it happened twice.

quickie for chaosteeth of their OC Grisha's humanoid form.

NAH FUCK YOU
