flailing through fandom

girl help I'm having fic ideas incompatible with the amount of free time I currently have

also worth noting that "abusive" doesn't actually mean "irredeemable" either.

there's a lot of people that have done things in the past that were bad, because they weren't taught any better, or they were in an overall toxic situation where EVERYONE was shitty (like a cult), or they were just at an especially low point and hurt others for it.

you don't have to forgive them. you don't have to ever speak to them again. you can be angry with them until you die if you want.

but society cannot function if we don't allow them to move on. to change their behavior and fuck off somewhere else and build meaningful relationships without bothering you again. we need a path for people to change, or nothing ever will.

[ I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain - Dune, Frank Herbert ]

no lie this picture is fucking breaking my heart. the teenager who made this way back when really went for the throat with the tagline "where everyone is happy". No "where you can fangirl freely" not even a melodramtic "where the strange and wonderful can meet in peace". Not a single reference to the tumblr culture of the time. Just the most primal, gut wrenching urge of an awkward high school student to long for a place where not only they, but also everyone else can simply be happy. I hope you found your happiness random blogger, wherever you are.

The miracle is that, on this earth, human gentleness is possible and real.

oh boy I hope my good friend Jonathan Harker has a good trip this year

long distance mutuals <- used to be in the same fandom together and have both moved on to other fandoms but stay mutuals and wave at each other when passing by (scrolling on dash) and catch up when we can (liking each others posts)

isn’t it weird how toxic masculinity is still a thing when the aragorn/boromir forehead kiss should have obliterated it back in 2001

gender euphoria is looking rly hot to other queer people and offputting to everyone else
