What People Think Why I Became A Bookbinder: Oh She Wants To Explore Her Artistic Horizon With Those

uh, I've just posted a new fic and it brought my published word count on ao3 to 330k and I think this calls for a mild celebration. Yay me, basically a third of the way to a million :]

no notes, absolutely perfect. Slayyyy

💅💥

reblogging this because I just had to scroll through my liked section to find this post cause I was looking for it again because I wrote something shy of 1k words of draft notes about this AU despite saying I wasn't going to rn. I did that instead of finishing my fic THAT I HAVE OPEN IN ANOTHER DOC.

Edit: ..it's 1.1k words now. I have yet to add a single word to my WIP. I need to close the other doc before it's too late.

Side note because I feel weird about sliding into someone's dms: OP, if you see this, let me know if you wanna plan this out together! I could use someone who's into Pokemon as my guiding light here. I haven't watched anything besides Indigo League and I hardly pay attention to the games. PLUS I feel so weird just taking this idea and running with it and leaving you behind cause it's your idea, even though you mentioned that you thought it'd be cool if someone wrote a fic about it. Uhh, that's all, I think! :]

desperately need someone to draw ochako as a pokemon protagonist and himiko as her rival

Obsessed with the idea that even when they're adults, Himiko and Ochako still do kid things. They have matching pajamas for their favorite shows and they still frequent the treehouse they built when they were teenagers and do all these silly little things because neither of them really got that experience as a child. Ochako's parents could never afford the cool pajamas and Himiko's parents never gave her time of day, so now they're just making up for lost time together. IM CRYING.

"Um, It's Kind of a Lot" by Will Wood is so togachako-coded that it HURTS. Like, so give it a listen, but here are some of my favorite lyrics (majority of the song because ITS SO TOGACHAKO-CODED.)

"But I never been afraid of no one breaking my heart It's not like I'm 'bout to fall and cut my throat on the shards And I'm afraid of damn near everything All my life's a panic trip, a rocket ship to planet schizoid Hold me like a tourniquet, and I'll you, like an iron maiden I've grown used to fear But no, not to you yet, my dear"

"Oh, I love you so much it scares me half to death I'm not used to this How did it happen, baby? Oh, I love you so much it scares me half to death The other half, I guess, I'm giving to you Oh, baby"

"Oh, I'm afraid that you'll change your mind I'm afraid there's somebody better I'm afraid of four-letter words, like "love", "for" And "ever", or whatever And I'm afraid you'll notice all my flaws I'm afraid you already have, obviously And I'm afraid I'll come on too strong Hold you too tight and scare you too"

"But I never been afraid to wear my heart on my sleeve At least to prove I'm weak and if you cut me I'll bleed Could you be the light my X-rays need?"

"Spit me out, you don't know where I've been Hold me at claw's length, baby I'm not used to fear of losing something I hold dear"

"So here's one last lyric to sum up these Thoughts I struggled to come up with To make me sound deep and smart and Then I promise I'll shut up Wait, let me think Hold on, I got this Anything but "I'm in love with you""

hate all the phrases that are sex-coded fr. The other day I was telling a friend “I just want more physical intimacy” and had to be like “fuck wait no” because I literally just want to be able to wrap my arms around my friends from behind and play with their hands or hair and have them come up behind me and tuck their chins over my head. “I want to sleep with you” but I literally mean I want to. Sleep. In the same bed. With you. Cuddling. Why is everything so difficult I am killing everyone

Whenever I go out and actually talk to new people or decide to watch new series or films I rediscover how important romance and sex are in our society and my mind is blown once again

THIS ONE

Yes im aromantic but i hate when people take that as "i want nothing to do with any type of relationship/affection besides platonic" because that just isnt true. No i will not be your boyfriend Yes i will kiss you if you want me to
