i hate driving. here are the laws! if you break them there will be consequences! except youre also expected to break the law just a little bit. people will get mad at you if you dont. you dont have right of way but the person who does is waving you forward for some reason. here's the speed limit! it's not the speed limit, the actual speed limit is that plus ~5-10. the light is green but you're in the turning lane. can you go? should you have gone just then? the person behind you is honking at you. there's a weird noise coming from your engine; if you try to do the right thing and get it checked out, will you get scammed? you are driving a 1-2 ton metal machine rocketing at speeds unknown to humankind for most of history. around a million people die in car accidents every year; that's about one person every thirty seconds. if you take that seriously and try to drive safely then people get mad at you.
Just started reading Dracula and I gotta say I'm really enjoying the letters from Lucy. A little break from the horror to enjoy a gossip session is just what I need right now.
I sure do hope nothing bad happens to her.
Women can write m/m. Men can write f/f. Asexuals can write filthy smut. Lesbians and gay men can write m/f. It's all arbitrary anyway. Who give a shit.
Writing isn't the hobby. Being insane about little fake people is the hobby. Writing is just the only outlet i have for that
There are only two mental illnesses according to people on the internet:
Innocent bean syndrome: You can never do wrong and got no agency. You will be infantilized on every occasion and are treated as a quirk.
Bad person syndrome: You are bad and an abuser. Your presence kills people.
Happy May 12th !!

Someone PLEASE warn Jonathan Harker before he departs on the worst interrailing trip of all time in approximately eight days
"Jonathan and Mina Harker ran, sprinted, fucking BODIED that marathon, so that Edward and Bella could flounder in the shallow end"
