no i don’t want to *do* something with you
i want to sit in silence and watch our favourite show together. i want to listen to your favourite songs and tell you what colours i see them as. i want to sit on your bed and watch you play minecraft. i want to listen to you learn to play songs by ear on your keyboard for hours. i want your cat to rub against my legs and pur. i want to dance in your kitchen while waiting for the box brownies to cook. i want to play truth or dare until 4am so we have something to talk about. i want to lay my head in your lap and tell you what’s on my mind. i want to spend endless simple time with you.

it's about the small acts of intimacy... forehead kisses, putting jewelry on you, rubbing your hand with their thumb, putting a jacket on you, touching your necklace, running your hands through their hair, wiping away their tears, peeling them an orange, un/zipping their dress, tying their shoelaces, holding hands, removing an eyelash from their cheek, washing their hair, putting an anklet on them, tucking their hair behind their ear, sorting out their collar, untangling their necklaces, drinking out of a cup in their hands

do any of my friends know the love I carry in every word i say to them. When I add too many words, drag on a joke that’s over, when I message them despite the fact the conversation barely ended five minutes ago? every word i speak is an intimacy that’s laced with outright adoration for them as people and all the little details that make them who they are. Do you know I love you? Do y’all know how much of you I try to commit to memory? How much I try to make you smile? do y’all know the love I feel for you?

I think it'd be fun to imagine a solarpunk society where most buildings come with a greenhouse, whether its attached or a separate but nearby structure, and people take great pride in their greenhouses' looks and vibe.
Like imagine personalizing your/your family's greenhouse, and visiting your friends' greenhouses. How you use it in different seasons, what you have growing in it, the spaces dedicated to hanging out.
Imagine you go to a friend's house and they have a greenhouse with green and yellow panels interspersed, light shining through the glass and onto a nice warm floor on a spring day. There's a rug and some pillows tucked into the corner with a small table, so you can sit or pull up a chair to enjoy snacks or just hang out.
You go to another friend's. Their greenhouse is dedicated to output, with dwarf citrus trees and strawberries and peppers and tomatoes and herbs growing in neat little pots on the tables. Some of them will be planted in the beds outside, some will be given to friends, some will live their whole lives within the glass walls and be perfectly happy. Sometimes your friend opens the panels, and the greenhouse comes to life with all kinds of butterflies and bees stopping by to visit.
There's a nice greenhouse by the library, which has a few fragrant herbs and tea plants growing inside, but is mostly a cozy space. A nice table and a few chairs are inside, for students who like to use the space to study or hang out together. There's one great big chair that's nestled in the perfect spot to read in the warm sunlight, or to listen to the sound of gentle rains tapping against the glass in summer. In fall and winter, they keep a healthy supply of warm hot cocoa and coffee for visitors to enjoy, but in the summer you're more likely to find fresh lemonade.
You know someone who uses their greenhouse as more of a gathering place, its perfect for parties. Plenty of tables and chairs, string lights along the walls so get-togethers can last well into the night. The various panels in pink, orange, and yellow make the room feel magical as light filters through.
Some families turn their greenhouses over to the kids quite early, and it quickly becomes a place full of toys, tiny seedlings of their favorite flowers in colorful pots, a few study books tucked away in a study corner. Or a popular hangout spot for them and their friends to post up with snacks after school.
A few couples may grow a few plants, but keep the area mostly clear--perfect for times where they just want to turn on a small radio, and slowdance with one another well into the night.
And your greenhouse? You can use it however you'd like after all, make it your own.

Guys is it gay to forgive him for the ultimate betrayal, is it gay not only to decide not to kill him and then yourself, but also promise it, in your native tongue that you had forgotten, while putting your life in his hands, is it gay to visit his mother and look at his childhood pictures and taunt him on the phone, is it gay to introduce him as an equal, as part of the family (when once we were four, we are now five), is it gay to feed him human blood for the very first time and help him finish transforming into a creature of the night, is it gay to get his first victim ready for him, to make it as easy as possible....
I really want to know, is it gay to have predicted all along he wasn't ready, that this life wasn't yet for him, is it gay to decide to fix it, is it gay to then dress him up in robes and tie them around his neck while speaking to him so softly, is it gay to comfort him and guide him to the intricate ritual you constructed in order to give him the choice you never had, is it gay to decorate your house with banners and candles, and to have all your friends surround you both in a circle and bear witness....
Please, I'm not sure, is it gay to ask him, to make sure he gets to make the decision, and to make it with dignity and respect, is it gay for your own voice to break when you said you predicted the outcome (that you know him so well), is it gay to break the most sacred of rules for him and kill your own brethren just so he doesn't have to do it himself, is it gay to hand him his glasses that you had ready for him, that you'd carried with you for who knows how long, is it gay to stand next to him with your hand on his shoulder as he grasps the enormity of the situation and tell him that this was the only way for him to realize what he really, truly, wanted....

Alterous attraction is so wild because it’s like I love you in a way neither of us can comprehend, I love you like the birds love the sun in the morning, I love you like the moon clinging to the night sky, I love you when we’re holding hands or cuddling or just sharing a space, I love you when you laugh or smile, I love you when you are near me and far away from me, I love you without a label, I love you when we go at our own pace, I love you when we express our love in different ways, I love you because you are my person and I am yours, we are friends and we are more and I love you

I don't want to sound crazy but I need you to know that I require to be told nice things. To be reminded that I am enough. My scars may be healed but they are still scars at the end of the day, and so while it wasn't you who put them there I need reassurance you will not add more. I need to be told I am okay. That I'm enough. That I do matter. That perhaps you won't just leave one day with me confused and wondering what I did wrong.
