I realize that a few people have begun following me because I made a comment on a post about Heartstopper or Young Royals or any other fandom recently, and they may be disappointed to find no actual content regarding those fandoms here.

That’s because this is my main blog, where I just post about anything, random things, and so when I comment on posts I appear as thewestcoastlady. But I have a secondary blog where I geek out fulltime on my fandoms, be it Heartstopper, Young Royals, Our Flag Means Death, The Sandman, A League of Their Own, etc, and that’s retrieve-the-kraken. If that’s what you’re looking for, I suggest you follow me there.

Follow me there also for posts on Eddie Izzard, LGBTQIA+ content, mental health content, mental health memes, Pride and Prejudice, Bee and Puppycat, and much more.

I wanted to switch retrieve-the-kraken to be my main blog, since I’ve been posting so much more there recently, but apparently it can’t be done... Also it gets really annoying that I have to check all the time if I posted a Wilmon thing to the right blog (If you see me do that, YOU SAW NOTHING!)

Anyway, just thought I’d make that clear. Thank you for your attention.

are u ever sick w longing. and i don't just mean romantic longing. i mean longing for a place you barely get to see, longing for friends you no longer have, longing for feelings you might have left behind in your childhood, longing for creativity, longing for a rich and more expansive life, longing for less inhibition. longing for more passion. longing for ur life to be so incandescent w something it thaws all the frost in ur bones. are u ever so consumed w it it rends ur heart in two. do u understand me

this is not just "look out the window and sigh" longing. i'm talking you're at the grocery store and you're suddenly hit w a wave of grief bc you don't have it. you don't have whatever it is you ache so badly to have. you go about your everyday life and yet it throbs under your skin moment by moment, almost as though it has a life of its own. that's the kind of longing i mean.

if you are lucky you will love someone and their hair will thin and their breasts will sag and you will kiss them everywhere over and over again

I was having a conversation with someone who was lamenting over how to maintain attraction to our partners as their bodies change and age and feeling self conscious herself about that process and I was like. we should be so lucky as to see them through these many years as we are seen ourselves. Hope that helps u understand
