no but seriously, as a reader, one thing i love about the availability of the rwrb book and the movie is you get to read and watch it alternately with the same smile from ear to ear. oh you want a slowburn version? let's read the book! oh you want the fanfic-paced version? let's watch the movie! the same exact feeling of excitement, giddiness, and cheesiness can still be felt whenever you reread or rewatch it. alex and henry of the book and movie are perfect enough, what more can you ask for? plus if you'd really think it over, it doesn't matter how you want to consume the material, because it all depends on how you want to relive the moment. let people enjoy their silly little pink book together with its silly little gay movie!!!

#just to put it out there for the girlies gays and theys who feel the same way #personally i am really really grateful to have both #be happy and be gay fr <333 #don't let anyone ruin it for you!!! #red white and royal blue #rwrb film #taylor zakhar perez #nicholas galitzine #alex claremont diaz #henry fox mountchristen windsor #firstprince #rwrb

kinda random but erm this fandom had genuinely changed my life and I’ll never be able to properly express how grateful I am that you guys like and support my art 😭

#im so thankful like all the time really #idk how to say it really but like #I have bad days where I just think it’s all gonna fall out from underneath me and my art is actually annoying #and I don’t deserve any of this success #but you guys are sooooo relentessly nice about what I put out #and I’m just grateful yeah that’s all ajdjdjdjs

Happy Valentine's Day! (and this blog's first post anniversary!)

#poorly drawn mdzs #better drawn mdzs #mdzs #wei wuxian #lan wangji #Woah...it's been a whole *year* since I took the leap and uploaded my 'first attempt' art. #It's outdated now but it holds a special place in my heart for the fact it started all of this off. #Calling this 'poorly-drawn' was always about accepting that my art was going to be imperfect and messy - and doing it anyways! #There has been a staggering number of times I have drawn something I almost didn't upload because I didn't think it was 'good enough' #only for someone to say they liked it - or that it made them laugh. And it has helped me realize - #-The worst critic for my work has always been myself. If I listened to it all the time...well we would not be here now B'*) #And now that I have dabbled in other fandoms I can truly see how lucky was to start out with the MXTX fans. #The supportive messages and tags have truly been a guiding force toward my artistic and self improvement. #I really can't describe how grateful I am. #Thank you for seeing something worth rooting for when I was just figuring things out. #Thank you for being sweeter than the candy I have strategically hidden in the nooks and crannies of this house. #But watch out! If you forget to find them we will get ants. #I remembered to not hide chocolate in the bed this year. Yes I know it melted last time. Yes it did stain. I'm still sorry. #Thank you for loving me regardless <3 Even if it looked like I shit the bed real bad.

White French people hate it when they get a taste of their own medicine. 

I was discussing with one of my colleagues and she told me how she was planning to go to Senegal for the holidays because she thought it was a good way for her kids to see more diversity and people who don’t look like them (ie Black People).

So I told her it was a good idea because I was 4 the 1st time I saw a White person (and I cried btw...) And she was so shocked, like she couldn’t understand that some Black kids have never seen White people in their lives but somehow doesn’t think twice about the fact that her kids are in a similar situation.

Another time, I was talking to someone else about how I arrived in France when I was young but had lived in many African countries growing up (RDC, Kenya , Gabon, Center African Republic...).

And then that person proceeded to go on a tirade about how I must have felt so lucky to arrive in France, and how I should have been relieved to arrive in a developed country like France, blablaba. I just told him “not really”, because growing up I was told that France was amazing and so wealthy, but the first time I saw homeless people was when I arrived in Europe, so I didn’t really understand why people always talked about Europe like that. And again, the guy was shocked, just because I didn’t say my life in Africa was miserable and sad, and because I said that Europe was from what I had heard as a child.

If you’re going to bring your assumptions without knowing, I’ll retort with mine ( the view of an 8-9 year old). I don’t understand how someone can feel so entitled and assume something about your situation without asking first. I’m sorry the only thing you know about Africa is that one documentary you watched in middle school but leave me alone.

#random stuff #I just give what I get #And I'm not saying there's no poverty in Africa... But people need to understand that Africa is a continent not a country #and I think that even people who understand it don't really understand understand it #what I mean is that all countries are different and even within the countries you have differences and just like any other countries in the #world you have wealth differences and it's stupid to assume that just because you come from an African country you're grateful to arrive in #an European country or a western country #Also you'll have very different opinions whether your coming from east Africa west africa northern africa etc... #They say stuff but then are surprised when you say the same thing back

hihi im typing thoughts dw dw im doing ok :D they just come to me and i need to let them OUT 

i adore selfshipping. i adore it so much. i adore the fact that i can gush about characters that i tend to fear so much on gushing about because the entire fandom gushes about them or a certain person gushes about them that i feel uncomfortable to announce my love for them.

i adore that i started selfshipping when i was really young, i adore that i made my self insert, ally all those years ago, im so happy i can gush freely without fear even if fear eats me all the time because im self conscious about everything ever. 

im happy i can act like a kid again through selfshipping, im happy i can do that; im happy i found an outlet to comfort myself and a coping mechanism that makes me insanely happy; im happy i can do selfshipping for fun and people wont attack me because im in love with a popular character from its media.

yes, there are times im deeply fearful that if i openly gush too much im annoying and overbearing and i try so hard to not do that, but there are days where i wanna talk my heart out. but im afraid im always afraid to because i never ... had this because i stopped because people were more fond of canon x canon at the time and i didnt want to ruin it. so i jumped on the train, and yes, i adore canon x canon as its fun and i can talk about ships i also really adore.

but there are times where i see ships that make me insanely uncomfortable and make me question *why* and there are times going i should be with this character they shouldnt be with a character theyre shipped with and i miss ...... gushing and miss filling my heart with love, i miss thinking of cute cute scenarios that make me squeal and giggle, i miss it and im...

im happy i remembered my self insert a long time ago. because if i didnt, i know this selfship blog would never exist and i would still fall into canon x canon territory for the rest of time, so yes, im really grateful i managed to dive back into old things because im so happy over it.

im excited, 

but also really scared because im self conscious and i fear on talking too much, i fear sometimes doing this was a mistake, when im told its not a mistake and you should continue, i fear so much because i never been *myself* or i never openly gush about characters that have my heart forever and ever and i cant let them go no matter what i do.

i fear someone would find this blog and make me feel awful for doing this. i fear that a lot actually. i fear that someone will ruin this for me and i have to find a new outlet. im afraid of this being taken away from me, because selfshipping is honestly a safety net for me. ive said that before. i know. but it is, its safety, it makes me feel safe, it makes me feel warm and fuzzy, and i dont want it taken.

either way: im glad i made this blog. im so happy i made it, even though i have a lot of self doubts and fears, im glad i made this blog. it makes me remember how happy and excited i was to gush about fictional characters when i was younger or the fact i wrote up really cheesy things with them.

im glad i can gush about a specific character that i couldnt seem to gush freely about because someone else did and it made my heart hurt and i didnt understand *why*.

i know why: he has my heart entirely and hearing someone else gush freely about him without a care in the world scares me and hurts me.

so, yes: im really happy about this blog. im good. mostly.

#txt #idk why i typed this i just #i needed to just TYPE IT OUT #also because i think typing it here makes sense #gosh so sorry for these types of posts #im just happy i have this blog #im happy about it so so SO HAPPY ABOUT IT GOSH #im not sure if i should tag it with anything else tbh #but im happy that this community is so nice #you guys are so nice to me #and it means the absolute world to me #or the fact i can act like a kid again without fear #idk im #just really grateful #i also think i just needed to type this out at some point because it keeps coming to me #sorry this is long gosh i should stop typing long things #kibble txts

realised yesterday just how often hozier actually used to sing about being not quite alive, not feeling like a person, about loving someone in a way that defies death and made him more alive, about suffering death for love. it's like he was constantly being buried underground and unearthed by love, over and over, which, while romantic in a way, is also incredibly sad. but i think it's interesting how his latest album (literally called 'unreal unearth') takes this idea and makes it its central theme. that's what this album is, one man's descent into the underworld. except, crucially, he makes it to the other side, and ends the album saying the darkness will come again, but this time he is "never going back [to hell] again." it feels like such a full-circle moment considering the rest of his discography and i'm so very excited to see what comes after this

#idk he might go back to being buried and unalive but maybe this is really the end of that... #when he was singing his most popular non album songs during the concert yesterday i was like huh he really does #sing about death a lot. interesting #hozier #it was great btw! he sang abstract and francesca AND jackie and wilson and cherry wine and movement #so all my favourites basically #and hearing take me to church live was actually such a slay which i was not expecting #and he talked abt gaza which i was so happy abt and was very grateful towards his band and crew #just a great night all around #jasmine has thoughts #i knew it was a lot bc that's kind of his reputation (boo) but i didnt realise how much it actually is

heartbreaking: this viral post is saying things you completely agree with in the most irritating way possible

#mumbling #goD #thinking about that one cringing = pearl clutching post i saw a while ago #legitimately good points and the only time i’ve ever seen someone point out the linguistic shift #of ‘cringe’ going from verb to adjective and how that takes the blame off of the people DOING the cringing #like yeah! that’s it that’s the thing i’ve been trying to figure out how to say!! #the insidious shift from cringe as an action of the beholder to a property of the beheld is not only worth examining #but demonstrates a seriously important way our brains can be affected over time by language #that was something i didn’t even notice! sure it bothered me but i didn’t know how to express WHY #and i think it’s so cool to see someone finally manage to articulate smth that’s been pissing me off for years #HOWEVER #my god was op’s phrasing annoying the hell out of me for some reason #just written in such a grating writing style i couldn’t bring myself to reblog it even though i really wanted to

[myloveeflows]

I miss and love every piece. No matter how it’s arranged. I love it dearly even when I don’t completely understand. I love to watch all the lives and versions I can, and just hope for as much fulfillment as possible in them. The wildest when I find myself upset at many different ones of them I’ve never met simply because we haven’t and often times couldn’t of met lol, but to know and feel so undeniably.. I am grateful and so full of love and sometimes sadness that I can’t be close to every single one and then I remember, in a huge way I already am. Thank you so much for the transformative and overwhelming love and support from all the many different directions. This place is messy but God is still so good.
