The key to a good romance is they both need to be weird little freaks

the thing is with rochester and jane is that they're insane best friends. like it's easy to call rochester weird but you cannot make an adaptation of jane eyre where you don't establish the fact the reason rochester falls for jane in the first place and why they bridge that huge gap they have in terms of age and experience is that she's the only one out there that's as weird and offputting as he is. that's literally mr and mrs bozo

Latest Sketch-a-Wish voted on by my lovely Patreon members for August! Inspired by Emily Wilde's Map of the Otherlands (Emily Wilde #2) by Heather Fawcett, featuring Emily and Wendell in some morning afterglow. I love how Emily is being indecisive about doing the traditional romantic things before Wendell wakes, but then he cuddles up with her anyway, deciding for her. Too cute. I kept his bedhead just for you, Em.

Being insane but cognitively aware of how insane you are is a special kind of hell because you know that you aren't normal and you can pinpoint the behaviors that label you as other and make people kinda go quiet and twitchy around you but you can't change them or your neurosis so you're stuck in a brutal cycle of trying to emulate normal people and failing horribly cus you know in theory how normal people look and act but in practice you can never change what you are and everyone else knows it too and this goes on forever until you die

this is how being autistic feels

Im sorry but it is so funny how people outside of tumblr view us. Like why are the tiktokers treating tumblr like some professional ass website you need to do extensive prep before you begin posting on. And the follower farming advice is so fucking funny to me when this is the website where people actively hate getting new followers

this is my aesthetic:

People being like "we must abandon religion!!!" in the sort of conditions where religion is crucial in keeping people going are... something.

People are struggling for their lives and you're really going to suggest that they change their worldview in a very likely unpleasant and probably traumatizing way. Like have you tried not being a ghoul?

Like of course this doesn't mean we should let people use religion as an excuse for bigotry and oppression! But we also need to understand that religion doesn't have to be oppressive or bigoted. Religions grow and evolve all the time. And we need to take a good look at Elon Musk and understand that atheism isn't a quick fix for white supremacy, patriarchy, and colonialism.

Chapell roan saying she's just a popstar and doesn't want to be involved with politics when she also inherently wants her branding to be queer and supportive of drag is so,,,,, like girl being queer is in this social climate inherently political....

I feel like she's only changing her tune now because she encouraged people not to vote for Harris and now we have a mini hitler in the white house... I'd have more grace if she was just honest, that what she said before wasn't wise and a bad use of her platform but this just screams cowardice.
