What Are People Even Thinking About If Not Yaoi

HAHAHA... YES... YES! [bangs on the table] SCARED OF HIM! SCARED OF HIM! SCARED OF HIM! SCARED OF HIM!

Been reading a lot of history lately and I'm having complicated feelings about, like, standards of living in the present.

We eat food that only kings and nobility could once afford. We have stopped fearing diseases that used to destroy entire families at once. We have complicated hobbies, many so intricate that they are impossible to describe to someone who doesn't already know about them. We live in luxury by the standards of most of history.

And yet, we're still stuck with many of the same fears as the lowest of peasants always had. Can I afford food? Will my lord's decision, made regardless of my opinion on the matter, bring war and famine and ruin? Will a new and unpredictable illness appear and take those I love most?

Luxuries and powerlessness combined in a way they've rarely been before

There's something... interesting? sad? about that line of thoughts, I think

DID IT FUCKING HAPPEN AGAIN?????

oh nooo I need to do my stupid ancient egyptian homework help

may the thoughts about evil fictional men save me

Too many tabs open. How can I be expected to find the one that has the thing I'm actually supposed to be working on.

An ad for your deepest desires :)

do you ever become obsessed with a character and you just go "of fucking course its that one" at yourself because you are so incredibly predictable
