Hello my lovelies!

It's been too long and I've missed all of you dearly. A big WELCOME to all the new followers — thank you for showing my work lots of love while I've been inactive.

It took awhile, but I finally found some inspiration and time to write again! I really missed the MLQC guys... so much that the first thing I decided to write were a few short stories where I break their hearts lol. I hope these don't sting too much!

Trigger Warnings: mild sexual content, language, jealousy, breakups galore, friend-zoning

In a high school profile for Minato Okouchi in Our Two Bedroom Story, his e-mail is written as “musclebody_3710@xx.ne.jp.”

Forgot the best part:

You don’t need to write something profound and meaningful.

While it’s really nice to eat a fancy five course meal once every so often, comfortable and delicious homemade meals, greasy fast food, some takeout from your favorite casual restaurant, some really good frozen meals… Those are all important too.

Your WIP might be the equivalent of eating a frozen pizza at 2AM, and you know what? That’s important! The pizza that I eat at 2AM is not only the most delicious pizza ever, it’s also exactly what I need. I love that pizza. I want to eat that pizza at 2AM.

Sometimes we need something familiar, comforting and indulgent. Sometimes we need something fancy and intricate. Sometimes we need something healthy and easy to digest.

So write whatever you want! There’s room for all kinds of meals and stories.

Big-brained people in the comments keep regurgitating the same gotcha, i.e. “she says the rich should pay more money in taxes, yet she herself bought that dress with money! what a gold-digging hypocrite! liar! bad take!”

For one, she’s not even rich, but even if she was… she can have money… and also support policies that redistribute wealth. These two things are not mutually exclusive. Y’all get that, right? Or do y’all think that her support of these policies means that she has to give away her belongings and live life like fucking Oliver Twist? Does she have to show up to Congress wearing a fucking potato sack because god forbid she show support for progressive economic legislation while owning money?

This is why I can’t trust y’all when people say, “Eat the rich!” Y’all will just end up antagonizing anyone who has a bank account, you’ll fill up on bread and middle class suburban moms, and then all the while people like Elon Musk will run off to Mars.

In summary:

EDIT:

She also described on Instagram how she came to possess the dress, saying she was proud to work with Aurora James, a black female immigrant who started her own sustainability-focused design brand from a flea market in Brooklyn.

But oh yeah, of course AOC is the fucking devil and we gotta eat her. I hate this stupid fucking hell site.

Love how people in the notes are saying the dress is plain "she's at a rich people event not even wearing rich people clothing."

It's plain. Yes. The only thing of note is the gigantic saying on the back. Yes. Maybe, did you think for one fucking second, that maybe that is kind of the fucking point?

Also I don't get it do you want her to spend money or not? Make up your damn mind.

Every woman with any power is a smug hypocrite to you people. Check your internalized misogyny.

I feel this in my soul

People seem to forget the Met Gala is a fundraiser and an exercise in pushing designers to come up with unique designs, so essentially a live art show to advertise an art exhibit. And some of those designers come through and others... don't. The Met is a nonprofit. The Smithsonian receives federal funding (that's why it's free), not the Met.

But no matter how much funding you get though it is expensive to acquire, protect, and preserve the world's best art and material culture. To conserve/repair some of these items so they can continued to be studied and enjoyed costs thousands. To adequately pay staff (which has been a huge problem at the Met and throughout the museum world) takes money. To put together new exhibitions. Educational programs.

Essentially the Met is making connections to get new donors because quite frankly museums and nonprofits rely on rich people so they put on lavish events to wine and dine the wealthy. The federally funded Smithsonian museums also rely on donors (and they are second to the Met in quality imo.)

Anyways, I realize there are a lot of opinions, but consider them in context of what the actual purpose of this thing is. If you want to complain about a problematic human rights problem around these events, consider this one: many museum employees have graduate degrees, do the work of three people, and live on ramen.
