in real life you will probably not respond to harassment in a sexy, clever, scripted way where you come out with the upper hand and everyone claps. you will freeze up and your moment will pass, or your voice will shake when you tell them to stop and you’ll realize two minutes later that you’re gross and sweaty and sticky from the adrenaline. maybe you’ll be on the ball and answer in a way you actually think is pretty smart and get ignored, or they’ll get more aggressive when you mouth off to them. you almost never will walk away feeling victorious. you walk away feeling uncomfortable and relieved that it’s over. you’ll think about it later and imagine that maybe you could have said something else. maybe you’ll feel ashamed that you weren’t quicker-witted, weren’t able to cut them down to size, weren’t able to avoid that lingering sick feeling in the pit of your stomach, as though there’s some kind of magical words you could have said that would have left you feeling less powerless. there really aren’t.

Even if I can't read it, it's just as heartbreaking as the actual thing. It's pretty cute, tho

How does my handwriting change so quickly? It went from small, cute, and bubbly to long, thin, and sharp in 10 minutes. 🤔🤔🤔 https://www.instagram.com/p/Bnz2XOCnn3p/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1e4pas37dzqmh

He heard Shang Qinghua call Binghe his son ONCE and ran with his own conclusions
the number of times ive written something and then made it anon bcause I didn't wanna look at it is HIGH. but I still wrote it!! even if its shitty, even if you don't like it, let it be you who wrote it, not some machine!!
Write it shitty, write it scared, write it without a clue but don't you be so spineless and have an AI write fanfic for you.
Yeah so anyways, contrary to popular misconceptions and fear mongering spread by bigots, post op trans women's vaginas are amazing actually. 💛
Okay, darlings. This fandom has managed to drive an author from it and they went out with a nuke. All of their work, gone. So it's time to have a talk. I'd love to think none of you were involved in it, so hopefully this is more a reminder to reblog than to have to apply, but it's time to have a talk.
First off, I'm not going to name the author. Their story is theirs. I'm just going to talk generally.
"Well that's how I joke with my friends--" Stop. Authors are not your friends. They are at best acquaintances and more likely strangers. They might be friendly with you. I'm friendly with many of you because I see you often in comments/replies and such. And some of you have become friends. But the average author is not your friend, they are a stranger. And if you're the type of person who would tell a stranger to kill themselves, you need professional help in dealing with something deep inside you and I hope you find it.
Authors are out here writing entertainment and sharing it for free. You respect that and be kind. If you can't be kind, you leave. The back button is right there.
This is not an airport, you do not need to announce your departure. If a fic goes a way that you do not like, you unsubscribe and hit that back button. If it turns too angsty or sappy or violent, back button. If their characterization bothers you, back button. You do not need to tell as stranger providing free effort that you hate what they are producing. This fandom is so damn prolific, there's something out there for you, it doesn't have to be that fic.
Homophobia at its finest 🙄 @foodieg0tfood you either need new friends or don’t bring them to the chat anymore https://www.instagram.com/p/BvB4ESxni1B/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=104001l7flewl
