Prescription Sunglasses, No School, A Beach, And My Birthday. What Could Go Wrong?

I've been around too many people for the past few days and I'm super overstimulated, I can feel myself getting bitchy. But now I have to go spend two days with my sister and her four children that literally could not be quiet if their life depended on it.

I'm already at my wits end, anybody have any tips on how to not bite someone's head off?

I mean I think people should curate their own fandom experience and whatnot and it's perfectly fair to just avoid things one is uncomfortable with...

That being said. From personal experience? Immunizing myself to all my discomforts by browsing through pixiv and kink memes with raised eyebrows while searching for things I am interested in back when tagging was non-existent has really made my fandom experience much more pleasant nowadays.

I have preferences, for sure. But I have no fear. I have no cringe. The filthiest, grossest fanwork holds no powers over me. I am a god.

Like honestly dl;dr and block on sight is respectable and all but I genuinely think everyone could just benefit from purposefully exposing yourself to your nOTP and non-triggering squicks sometimes? (And obviously don't go bother the creators for it.) If only so that it makes it easier/safer to search for content you like without living in fear of accidentally glimpsing something you hate and having that ruin your day.

Never ever be normal about fictional characters but please GOD be normal about the people who play them, I am begging you

This site is such a preschool simulator you’ll meet someone and be like ‘wow we played toys together for 5 minutes and now we’re making friendship bracelets’ and then you’ll meet someone else and be like ‘hm i’ve never hit someone with a plastic dump truck before. i think i might like to try it.’

anyways good night i’m gonna go indulge in my unrealistic romantic fantasies until i fall asleep

49 I don't feel that anxious all the time, maybe I'm just used to it after 19 years

just came up with a really good 4 word cooking horror story but idk if you guys are ready for it

Do you ever wanna pull a grown man around by his scruff? Like hello? There is a reason I'm walking where I'm walking, get back in line
