im in love wth this 🥺
"Do you ever dream of land?" The whale asks the tuna.
"No." Says the tuna, "Do you?"
"I have never seen it." Says the whale, "but deep in my body, I remember it."
"Why do you care," says the tuna, "if you will never see it."
"There are bones in my body built to walk through the forests and the mountains." Says the whale.
"They will disappear." Says the tuna, "one day, your body will forget the forests and the mountains."
"Maybe I don't want to forget," Says the whale, "The forests were once my home."
"I have seen the forests." Whispers the salmon, almost to itself.
"Tell me what you have seen," says the whale.
"The forests spawned me." Says the salmon. "They sent me to the ocean to grow. When I am fat with the bounty of the ocean, I will bring it home."
"Why would the forests seek the bounty of the oceans?" Asks the whale. "They have bounty of their own."
"You forget," says the salmon, "That the oceans were once their home."

Idk who needs to hear this, but god’s plan for you is to read your little gay fanfictions don’t worry you’re not wasting your time
cats and libraries ۫ ꣑ৎ
sometimes you gotta reread your own fic and cry and go a little crazy
i got a feelimg theyre talking abt that son of Zeus (metaphorically speaking ofc) on tiktok
Part of transphobia that I will never understand is how transphobes are literally faceblind to justify their hate
Example:
A transphobe who calls a trans man that he will never be a real man while said trans man looks like he professionally cosplay as Kratos for a living, complete with beard & muscles
That's insane.
Hey kid, sorry I killed your dad with a huge sword. The cycle of violence is super fucked up isn't it. Hopefully it can stop with you.
it was for me 🫠
I literally graduate in a month that’s so wild
I’m gonna have like
An actual proper college degree
Genuinely never thought it would happen
Third time’s the charm, innit
not an author’s note but it made me stop scrolling and laugh so hard I cried
i could leave a fic uncompleted? u mean it?
so here's the thing. abandoning fics is good actually.
if you're a writer and you hate writing a thing? you can just stop. slap THE END? on the last chapter if you want to pretend like it's really finished, but mostly just free yourself from the prison of your own guilt. you're spending your valuable free time and mental space beating yourself up about a thing that was your choice to start writing in the first place. you decided to start making the thing, and you can also decide to give it up.
this also applies if you're a reader! starting a fic doesn't mean that you have to finish it. maybe the tags looked good. maybe the summary was intriguing. maybe you even liked the first couple of chapters. But if the story starts going in a direction that you don't like, if the author writes your favourite character in a way that doesn't vibe with you, if you just get bored with the premise and want something new, you're allowed to stop reading. Just because you sit down at the table with a whole entire cake doesn't mean you have to eat the whole thing. Sometimes you just want a little sliver, and that's just fine.
loving a story for a couple of chapters is still a lovely way to spend your time. get your enjoyment out of however much time you want to spend with it, and when that time stops being enjoyable allow yourself to move on.
falling out of love with something doesn't mean the love was never there. the love was there in the beginning, and it mattered, and it stays a part of you - even when it's not still there anymore.
"its not fair! u were BJ Alex last time too!!"
There are two types of writers:
1. 'It's fiction, it doesn't need to make sense!'
2. 'I didn't account for the rotation of the planet and how that affects the constalations while my characters stargazed at different times of year, I have failed as a writer, and this entire thing is trash'
