Fic authors self rec! When you get this, reply with your favorite five fics that you've written, then pass on to at least five other writers. Let’s spread the self-love 💖

Heyo! Thanks for sending :)

Far Away From L.A. - it's my first baby for DOB and I'm fond of it.

24x24 - this isn't really even a fic, but I like it.

Collision Course Coachella - a new obsession that's FUN to write.

Special Occasions - just a cute lil thing that gets naughty.

Cooler 'Heads' Prevail - an early work here that I always liked.

I'm bad at these things, do I send it or tag people? I don't even know. I know some people I send it to will undoubtedly have been sent it already... I see @ohdolans tagged me in this (THANK YOU, BTW), and I was planning to send it to them, so now I'm all...

I guess I will also tag these beauties rather than inbox sending. If you've already done this, just @me in the replies or something and I'll find it <3 @dobrienwrites, @bigdrewenergy, @dylandrhodess, and @uh-oh-kenzieiswriting.

sometimes life is just laying face-down on the floor for hours. and thats ok.

VERY IMPORTANT a dam in the Netherlands, the weerdsluis lock, is directly on a migratory path for spawning fish. They have a worker stationed there to open the door for the fish, but they can take a while to open it. So to keep the fish from getting preyed on by birds they installed a doorbell. Only, the fish don't have hands to ring the doorbell. If you go to their website, they have a LIVE CAMERA AND A DOORBELL that YOU RING FOR THE FISH when they're waiting, and then the dam worker opens the door for them! I can't express how obsessed I am with this. look at this shit. oh my god.

Please check on the fish doorbell once in a while :)

One of the most dangerous things in the world is not being able to say no to people because you don't want to upset them or dissapoint them. This will completely ruin your life in every way possible, at work, in your private life, your sex life and your friendships. It's a way of removing your own consent in your own decisions and go against your wishes, it is always a crime against yourself. Let yourself have a say. Upsetting people is better than traumatizing yourself.

Need some titties in your face?

i don't know who needs to hear this, but guilt, self-hatred and shame are not sustainable sources of growth and healing. you can't hate yourself into feeling better, or being better. you can't repeatedly punish yourself for your flawed humanity and expect wholesome results.

It's ok to want money. It's ok to be upset that you're poor and wishing to be rich. I understand. People who say that money doesn't buy happiness have never eaten pasta every day because it's 50 cents at the grocery store or been short on money for christmas presents. Constantly scraping by makes people miserable and depressed and of course you're gonna dream about money, about being happy and priviledged. That's not greedy or horrible, that's life. It's ok.
