Its So Scary To Put Yourself Out There But A SINGLE Message Saying "hi I Loved What You Made It Touched

"there is no platonic explanation for this--"

I fell asleep in my friends' arms. It was eleven at night, we were tired, curled up in a small pile on my tiny bed. I had my head buried in my roommate's side, and one of my closest friend's hand on my shoulder, steadying me. It was quiet and nothingness and peace and their heartbeats in my ears, my hands in their hair.

"there is no platonic explanation for this--"

We pack four people to that little bed, you know. Laps used as footrests, collarbones as pillows, little lights like moonlight in rustic yellow bathed on their faces. The TV plays an anime. The words are repeated by my dear friend on my shoulder, curled close. My legs are asleep; my roommate may be, too.

"there is no platonic explanation for this--"

The cat curls on top of our criss cross mess of legs and arms and heads on chests to absorb the warmth of us all. She purrs in contented peace. When my roommate and I are left alone in the quiet, she cries, and watches the door for our friends' return.

"there is no platonic explanation for this--"

I will never kiss them but the top of their heads. I will never touch but the warmth of their arms. I will never take more than what's freely given, and in return I put my glasses on the bedside table fashioned from a guitar amp, and when I lean into their sides, I pick up my vulnerability and place it in their capable, tender hands.

"there is no platonic explanation for this--"

I sing for them. I cry for them. I work and I run and I withstand the worst of the world for them, because some days I get to cradle their forehead on my shoulder and some days I get to see their shining eyes.

"there is no platonic explanation for this--"

Maybe to you. But look beyond explanation. I love them. With my heart in my unsteady hands, with my nose pressed to the side of their head, with the buzzing in my feet and the warmth all around Iike the sunset pushing into the window.

"there is no platonic explanation for this--"

Is it enough to say I love them? With no strings attached? With reckless abandon and utter devotion and freedom and kindness and fear?

"there is no platonic explanation for this--"

I cannot explain it any clearer. I love my friends. There is no more to say.

Hi everyone!! My name is Artemis, I'm an ambitious, queer, aspiring writer, and I've got a heroic epic fantasy series in the works that is going to 100% be my magnum opus. I'm planning for this blog to be a mix of random personal stuff about my life, writing things (like worldbuilding stuff and relatable writer's posts), and reblogs that will also probably be entirely random, but we'll see.

I like writing (obviously), reading, playing D&D, playing video games (particulary Assassin's Creed, The Legend of Zelda, and RDR2), shopping at independent, unique stores (bookstores!!), and watching shows such as Game of Thrones, Arcane, and Heartstopper.

Anyways, follow me if you wanna eventually read my book and get attached to my epic, D&D-style, insanely queer characters that I daydream too much about, and feel free to DM me at any time if you want to know more about me, my books, or just want to chat about your latest hyperfixation; I love chatting!

Farewell and fast travels, adventurer.

Grieve AND organize.

Good article by David Hunter on how to survive the Trump presidency, both on the personal and on the political plane.

Waging Nonviolence

There is hope — 10 ways to be prepared and grounded for another Trump presidency

The key to taking effective action if Trump wins is to avoid perpetuating his goals of fear, isolation, exhaustion and disorientation.

tumblr discourse after 13 years on this fucking website

Polycule but it’s just two people in a romantic relationship with each other and their third who’s pretty obviously aroace but also somehow so deeply intertwined in their lives that it’d just be wrong to not count them as involved. Is this anything.
