I mean, it seems pretty obvious when you put it like that, right?
But how many families, when an introvert sibling or child makes an effort to socialize, snarkily say, “So, you’ve decided to join us”?
Or when someone does something they’ve had trouble doing, say, “Why can’t you do that all the time?” (Happened to me, too often.)
Or any sentence containing the word “finally”.
If someone makes a step, a small step, in a direction you want to encourage, encourage it. Don’t complain about how it’s not enough. Don’t bring up previous stuff. Encourage it.
Because I swear to fucking god there is nothing more soul-killing, more motivation-crushing, than struggling to succeed and finding out that success and failure are both punished.
*takes a bite of my double chocolate all natural 16g of protein kosher no artificial sweetener certified vegan no soy cookie i won as a bet* at least it removes all moisture from my mouth and doesn't taste good at all
i won a bet with a friend and have been owed a cookie for the last week. i finally got my cookie today.
it's a protein cookie.
I don’t think any movie will make me feel the same ethereal sense of otherworldly sorrow and disembodied awe as that scene in Lord of the Rings where the loyal son is sent off into a doomed battle to please his vindictive father while Pippin sings a mourning song of his people
I was like 12 and high off this shit
how in the heck was Jane austen so good at writing dialogue. she's literally the best. I've seen no one better
Love how tumblr has its own folk stories. Yeah the God of Arepo we’ve all heard the story and we all still cry about it. Yeah that one about the woman locked up for centuries finally getting free. That one about the witch who would marry anyone who could get her house key from her cat and it’s revealed she IS the cat after the narrator befriends the cat.
the suffering never ends
rewatching violet evergarden with my mom and I am desperately trying to remember whether gilbert was a pedo or not
Reblog to invite others to the party
the Tumblr feed feels like it has been slowly pushing me to write fanfiction and I'm not sure how to feel about that
“The Little Drummer Boy” (Christmas carol) is actually a great model for fanfiction because:
It centers around in-canon characters and/or a believable oc
It magnifies the spirit of the original work and/or builds upon pre-existing themes which resonated with the (fic) author
It uses literary devices (ex: onomatopoeia, symbolism)
It makes its point without carrying on too long
Suggests at sentient and musically talented animals
It’s meaningful to both the (fic) author and to a wide audience of people who are already acquainted with the in-canon story
The protag is not too OP to fit in the canon universe in a believable and engaging way; protag has realistic limits and weaknesses alongside his/her talents
Thank u for coming to my ted talk

do I like g/t content bc I have a desperate need to be fawned and doted on, or do I have a desperate need to be fawned and doted on bc I like g/t?
Being loomed over. Receiving little flirty comments from someone a hundred times your size. Your difference in size and power is nearly indescribable - you can barely comprehend how large they must be even as you look at them. Their voice comes out as a low rumble, their body moving slower than normal due to the dilation of time caused by their size (or, perhaps, your size), and as their hand reaches down towards you impossibly slowly, you still cant escape it, in all of its vastness. A finger taller than you are poking you in the stomach and causing you to nearly topple over. The larger is on another plane of existence, in a way. But as they look down at you with such infatuation, regardless of your survival instinct telling you to run, your pounding heart, and your trembling form, you feel oddly safe. Its nice to be doted on a little. To be observed by eyes larger than your torso. To be treated gently by something that could crush you like a bug. To be loved by something beyond comprehension. Erm. Yeah.
