Maybe the meaning of life is simple, something in front of us and basic. Like reproduction. We're here to grow our species and that's it, but then again, there are people who can't reproduce, does that make them meaningless? If so, why would they be here.
Maybe it's something more naive, like leaving the world better than you found it, but what if someone makes a massive mistake. If they regret it, does it even matter anymore? Are they officially meaningless?
Maybe it's to just live for ourselves, but then why do we have empathy? Why do we feel sad for others if it benefits us?
Okay, so maybe it's to help others and ourselves? But then there are people who cannot feel emotions, people who don't need help, people who cannot help themselves or others, are they meaningless?
Maybe it's more religious, to spread the word of God. To be honest, that makes the most sense to me. We're so uniquely designed, everything is ordered in such a way that it's hard to believe there is nothing in charge of us, maybe there is a God and maybe there isn't, but I'm leaning towards Yes. But then, isn't that what the Bible does? The Q'uaran?
Or perhaps there's no meaning. We're here and now, and nothing matters. That's terrifying, but freeing. At the end of all of this, our souls, which are trapped in our flesh, claw their way out of us, leaving this puppet to be reclaimed by nature, something that will absorb us completely, like a mother to a child. Our souls, minds, our energy and atoms will always be here, even though it doesn't matter. Maybe that's it. We learn, we love, we live, or maybe we don't. We do whatever and eyeball everything because it's everyone's first time living and we don't get second chances.
So go out there. So you chose a bad job, find a new one. Go back to school, explore, travel, play games, get drunk, do whatever, be whatever, because at the end of your life, as your soul rips from your body and bones like a prisoner from a cell, it won't worry about anything here, embarrassed, ashamed, mistakes, it'll look back and wonder why you never changed your job? Had a family if you wanted one? It wants experience, not safety and comfort.
I love fanfic.net, but everyone in the reviews is SO critical. "Great story! However, you used the wrong your, so, I have to report you, call the cops, alert the HOA, and upload this onto twitter."
If I make a joke about my home life, your reaction should not be "Oh my gosh, so sorry! Reach out, get better!" Your reaction should be "Oh my gosh, could never be me. Lol, skill issue, tbh."
Severitus but instead of Harry being scared of making the wrong move, he wants to make the wrong move. He can't stand the lack of chaos and shouting, he needs to feel unsafe because that is how he feels safe. So he keeps pushing his buttons, and he's getting punished ofc, but he's not being hit. There's no slapping, spanking, kicking, nothing.
One day, he pushes too many buttons for him to believe that he's not going to be hit, but to his surprise, he's not hit, so he loses it. He's screaming, shouting, maybe even crying a bit, asking when will he be hit because he can't handle not knowing.
Severus, calm as ever, maybe even looking down at a book or something, tells him he will never hit him because it's cruel, stupid, or wtv reason.
Cue Harry sobbing because he's never been told something like that, and Severus reassuring him.
You need to get them a size bigger. Female body shapes are different then men, meaning you will carry more fat or muscle in the thighs, which also means that they will probs roll up and it's uncomfortable. You can try your normal size if they're too big, but if they are rolling up, getting a bigger size is okay and it's nothing to do with your weight, it's just the difference in body shapes (which doesn't make you less of a man.)
Severus and Harry, I'm not debating this.
Was scrolling through AO3 and found this gem
Enemy to parent is a trope we have to popularise lmao
Hello. How are you ? I'm marriane what's your name and where are you from ?
Hi, I'm alright, I'm from America, and my name's Luke. 👍
Some idiot: "Why are you reading your own fic, that's shallow and stupid"
All fanfic writers and writers everywhere: "Who the fuck do you think I wrote it for?!"
but have you ever had someone leave a comment with a paragraph-long review of your fanfic containing genuine praise, thorough criticism, and an in-depth analysis of all the lore hints you dropped that you spent ages intricately crafting
Tw brief mentions of sexual assault.
It makes me mad that Skip Westcott isn't in the movies. Male victims have almost no representation, and the ones we do have are just jokes or not even recognized as assault. He doesn't infantalize victims, he shows it can happen to you and still be normal, which would have been amazing. It's definitely something a lot of kids out there need, especially young boys who are completely left out of the conversation.
Everyone always talks about imagining scenes and not being able to write them, but have you ever had the opposite happen? Cause it's literally me 24/7.
I'll be in the mood to write, having a general idea of what I want, and I can't stop writing, but I also can't keep thinking of things. The last time this happened, I didn't stop for 2 whole days, didn't sleep. Wrote while writing, wrote while crying, literally all day, but I just kept rewriting cause I physically couldn't think of other scenes.
Idk what I'm doing. MCU, Harry Potter, wtv else I want? 1# most basic man to have ever existed.
