A Period Of Mental Standstill Between One Ponderous Spark And Another Is An Excruciating Time, Where

3 million words fic rec (Destiel)

I’ve officially posted 3 million words on my AO3 account!!

Here’s all 115 of my Dean/Cas fics (as of December 30th 2019). They currently make up 85% of my total fics. I posted 42 fics this year, with a new Destiel fic once every 2 weeks on average, with 24 total.

(The rest, as of the last 6 months, are Crowley/Azriaphale (Good Omens) and Garak/Bashir (Star Trek: Deep Space Nine). There’s separate fic recs for those. And here’s one Cockles fic.)

i hope this whole andrew tate situation will lead to more than just memes, but an actual discussion on sex tourism and the way western men move to poorer nonwestern countries, both because women and girls are more desperate and vulnerable & because our governments are much more shit abt doing anything at all abt sex crimes/the government and police themselves are often involved in sex trafficking, and because of the aspect of fetishizing and degrading eastern women (which western euro men are doing in their damn brothels to our women & girls as well). i hope it will lead to an awareness that he is faaar from the only western man to move to romania and the balkans for this, that this shit happens regularly to our women and girls here, that he's far from the only western man to move to a poorer nonwestern country to rape and traffick and enslave women and children. i hope maybe just maybe this will mean a bit more than just memes, and may show in the liberal sex work brainrot internet culture the darker underbelly of pornography and prostitution. our pain and suffering and exploitation isnt just a meme. i hope, at least.

Damn we all living the same life, I dunno whether I find that yo be a good thing or a bad thing

desi culture is trying to come out as lgbtq, but immediately backtracking after your mother starts crying and you feel an immense amount of guilt for daring to be anyone but who your parents want you to be

You know what? You're right and you should say it

I know this is far from the main problem, but Gaiman and Palmer having a young and poor woman watch their child for days without paying her a single cent is so fucked up.

Nice

Good news for you, this August 23rd.

#truly a unifying experience

A moment of light during the siege

Imma borrow this. With credits of course.

Life gave me lemons

So my dadi made an aachar out of it

I needed this tag. This tag gives me life

desi dark academia

“dust motes dancing like tiny burning stars in the morning light, stray strands of hair tumbling past their place behind ears, smudges of dark ink of fingertips pressing prints on stark paper, patches of spilled tea over an ending pile of homework, the smell of rotted books in a timeless library, the flash off light reflecting off the gold decorating your fingers, the flicker of candles with no shadow, the endless search for liminal places.”

I'm sorry, but the way to call me out like that bruh.

Ok but what about the eldest daughters who read to escape reality, the ones who have crippling anxiety, the ones that don't talk about their issues because other people have it worse what about the ones that the ones that love their siblings but you have to be better than them all the time and them not get as appreciated for it so in a way you hate your siblings. The eldest daughters who aren't noticed until they mess up, until their grade goes down. The ones that everyone relies on all the time and they can't let anybody down or they'll feel indescribable guilt for it
