art will save you, being unreasonably passionate about something niche will save you, letting past sources of joy show you the way back to yourself will save you, earnestness over composure will save you, the natural world will save you, caring for something bigger than yourself will save you, daring to be seen will save you, kindness not as a whim but a principle will save you, appreciation as a practice will save you, daring to try something new will save you, grounding will save you, love will save you, one good nights sleep will save you

noch ein bisschen KdE appreciation: Ich liebe diesen Moment als Boris Leo fragt ob er weiß wo das Geld ist und Adam plötzlich realisiert, dass Leo sich gerade in Gefahr begeben hat. Dieser Blick zu ihm und wie er ihm dann auf die Schulter klopft um ihn zum Gehen zu bewegen (schnell weg aus der Schusslinie, baby. Bevor Boris auf Ideen kommt.) und wie er sich dann neben Leo stellt, sich bedrohlich vor Boris aufbaut (wag es ja nicht ihn da mit reinzuziehen). Adam so protective zu sehen ist schon heiß 😌. Das einzige was mich an der Szene mittlerweile nervt ist, dass man direkt sieht, dass es unterschiedliche takes waren weil Adam einen Moment später wieder an der Wand lehnt. Das ist echt auffällig. Aber sonst ist diese JVA-Szene verdammt gut.

don’t forget that it’s your life. it’s not school’s life, it’s not work’s life, it’s not your family or your partner’s life—it’s perpetually your life, for better or worse. what do you want from this life? forget happy, what motivates you to live? why are you here?

Fanfic is a free hobby.

It's one of the last few things we can have as a society that's free. You can engage, for free. People give you things (art, stories, etc), for free.

Don't buy into the consummerism just because it's everywhere else.

You don't have to consume everything you interact with. You don't have to use things, just because they exist.

You're allowed (still, for now), to have things that are enjoyable for free.

Do you realise how insane the world is? We don't have many places where we can just be, for free anymore, but ao3 is. Did you notice we don't have ads in ao3? We don't have pop ups? Where ELSE do we not have that?

Where else can you just go and not have to wait for a commercial to be over or for ads to be on the sidelines?

I don't think the younger people understand, but the whole of internet used to be like this. YouTubers would do Youtube for free, just because. You couldn't monetise your internet presence before.

Ao3 is like a little preserved corner of the internet where the old internet used to be, and it's being attacked by people who do not understand that free things are allowed to exist without judgment.

Please don't ruin this for us.

Some of us need it.

the hours between 8-11pm should be reusable. optional mini time loop you can rewind and start over if you had more tasks to do or another book to read or the first three hours hanging out w your friend weren’t enough

Okay maybe today wasn’t that terrible
