Sigh. At what point did it become standard practice for fic to be so...sterile?

I don't want to read therapy speak. Not even just anachronistic therapy speak - any kind. Ever. I don't want to read characters negotiating every fucking detail of sex acts. The fact that multiple people out there think you shouldn't kiss your long-time partner after a few drinks is honestly kind of disturbing.

What is going on out there?

What's your favorite Tsukihina scene (anime or manga)?

This scene. This is like PEAK tsukihina and I know it's kind of a no brainer. BUT THERE'S SO MUCH TO TAKE IN-- wheeze. Like Tsuki sighing and moaning and groaning about Shoyo all day. ALL WEEK and he finally plucks up the courage to ask him a favor!? To inadvertently help him!!? OUGHGHHHH. And the slow pan up from Shoyo's pov. Tsuki is so BEAUTIFUL here I mean if you look closely you can literally see the detail of the zipper of his jacket, his lil tongue. Just so lovingly rendered. He's so pretty. He's so shy. So embarrassed. And then the following, "I'm not going to force you--" UGH it's so good. I love tsukihina

What they don't tell you about writing is that as you write, you discover scenes and entire plots that you hadn't accounted for that need to be written. So you can spend two hours writing and editing only to realise you're further away from the finish line than you thought you were when you started

what is your favorite type of cookie. not allowed to throw shade not allowed to be mean to each other just say what kinda cookie you like the most. this isn’t a competition just a conversation between friends there is no right answer 

does ANYONE have the post where it’s like “You know you’re having a good phone call when you start walking around the room” and there’s like 4 pics of a guy standing on a washing machine and sitting upside down you know what I’m talking about

guys night

Tell me an inside joke between you and a friend, without context.

love reading only one bed fics where character A wakes up first and goes oh no my boner’s against his ass! really just one of the classic fic tropes to me

This is the worst timeline. (x)

Ok, as a writer who ALSO loves using em dashes to denote a sudden cessation of speech, and as an editor, I am BEGGING whoever typesets the files for JLA's physical books:

Use nonbreaking spaces between an em dashes and closing double quotation marks. PLEASE. FOR THE LOVE OF GOD. I cannot handle multiple instances of an em dash at the end of one line and the closing quotation marks at the beginning of the next.

This is torture and I hate it.

“atsuoi would bond over hating Kageyama” where are people getting that from even? yes Atsumu teases Tobio sometimes but he doesn’t actually hate the guy right? rightttttt ?

being a fan of both hinata and Kageyama respectively is so weird bc the way the fandom treats each of them is very different in the sense that when it comes to shoyo everyone agrees that he’s so loved they ALLLL want him… they would never hurt their sunshine… he deserves to be loved by EVERYONE

but then at the same time the fandom is so fixated on making everyone have unnecessary beef with Tobio when in canon he’s also very much loved…

that said

I understand the Brazil fling hcs. I’m more of a hinata was pining and yearning truther but I don’t mind the the hc itself cause yeah hinata was lonely, he found comfort in oikawa, sure whatever

but why do the fandom insist on the cheating and Kageyama being done wrong ???

Hinata is grown if he wanted to have fling while in Brazil he could but he doesn’t have to act malicious abt it and purposely hurt Kageyama’s feelings

And it’s not just with those two setters it’s also with kenma and everyone else the fandom think fancy hinata… they all treats Tobio very badly bc they want to be in his place ??? Ig ???

and the most baffling part abt it to me is that shoyo just let them or he indulges in it too lol

“why don’t you like hinata rare pairs you’re no fun”idk maybe bc my favorite little guy gets treated like trash in all of them….

I know I’m taking thing so seriously rn but you see I’m very protective of Kageyama so idc

i can not explain to you how excited i got when i saw the new hq official art with iwaoi in it. and not just iwaoi but OIKAWA SMILING SO BIG TOO!!! it’s just so them to be together while iwa’s face is so serious and oikawa is happier than ever. they look so perfect!!!!

"You don't know me. I'm not the same person anymore."

"That's okay. I'll get to know you again."

Me all day: I am SO excited to write I can't stop thinking about what I'm going to write

Sitting down to write: I have never been so sleepy

I feel a little crazy every time I remember Furudate gave Kagehina contrasting birthdays (summer/winter solstice), the yin&yang hidden in their names, first characters of their first names forming the word hishou ("soar"), constant light/dark imagery, constant talk about destiny, fate. "Somebody who's even better will come and find you."

And then I'm like, was any of that necessary? For a volleyball manga? Or did Furudate just want to make sure everyone knew they're soulmates.

you ever watch something and just think... "god i cannot wait to get on ao3 after this"

Guess who finally remembered her log in information! Hello out there!

Honestly be pretentious as fuck about the stuff you create. Do a press release for your fanfic updates. Do a Q&A about your webcomic. Make fake merch designs for your OCs. Commission "official" book covers. Very few of us will ever get to a stage where something we've created Makes It Big but even if you have an audience of 5 people plus a shoelace fucking indulge yourself and pretend!! It's the only way to live!!

September is Bi Visibility Month

I think this is incredibly important to us bi people. There are still people who think bisexuality isn’t a thing. That it’s a phase, or a stepping stone for when you’re not fully out yet as gay. And they’re wrong. BISEXUALITY IS VALID.

I’m bisexual and let me say that so many people don’t know shit about it. They say it’s nonexistent and it’s basically just a tool. And that hurts to know that there are people who don’t see me for me.

Just the other day I was looking at some YouTube comments and saw this.

They’re erasing the identity of bisexual people. Saying, if a bi girl is dating a guy, then they’re straight. And that’s false.

This is why this month is so important. because people need to learn and need to stop being ignorant.

Wow, what a loaf 10/10
