Friendly reminder that just because people can produce content doesn't mean they have to. And while some have the capacity to consistently produce, others do not. There are more than enough free fics to be consumed while waiting for more. So, please, do not try to guilt anyone to create.

I think a lot about how we as a culture have turned “forever” into the only acceptable definition of success.

Like… if you open a coffee shop and run it for a while and it makes you happy but then stuff gets too expensive and stressful and you want to do something else so you close it, it’s a “failed” business. If you write a book or two, then decide that you don’t actually want to keep doing that, you’re a “failed” writer. If you marry someone, and that marriage is good for a while, and then stops working and you get divorced, it’s a “failed” marriage.

The only acceptable “win condition” is “you keep doing that thing forever”. A friendship that lasts for a few years but then its time is done and you move on is considered less valuable or not a “real” friendship. A hobby that you do for a while and then are done with is a “phase” - or, alternatively, a “pity” that you don’t do that thing any more. A fandom is “dying” because people have had a lot of fun with it but are now moving on to other things.

I just think that something can be good, and also end, and that thing was still good. And it’s okay to be sad that it ended, too. But the idea that anything that ends is automatically less than this hypothetical eternal state of success… I don’t think that’s doing us any good at all.

Dieter wanders out onto the sprawling lawns blinking like he hasn't seen sunlight in ages, he's feeling hungover and cynical…

Did the producers really think this was going to do anything for the deteriorating mental health or morale of the cast and crew of this ridiculous movie?

10 Reminders for Dealing with Shame in Kink

Something I see frequently in asks and messages is people feeling ashamed about their kinks, whether or not somebody has said something to shame them. So I wrote some affirmations to tell yourself if you ever feel this way. 💖

1. I can't control what I like, but I can choose to accept myself
2. For every kink I have, somebody else has it too
3. My kinks aren't hurting me or anyone else
4. The kind of sex in TV and movies is unrealistic (and boring)
5. It's liberating and powerful to know what I like
6. My desires are sexy and beautiful
7. I give no control to people who try to make me feel bad about my kinks
8. My kinks make me unique
9. Owning my sexuality is an act of self love
10. I'm human

I do in fact want to learn about your niche interests disguised as a slash fic, thank you
