Fairy

I used to believe in faires

Ones with pretty little dresses and translucent wings

Pixies and seelies and brownies and dryads

I was so sure that they were out there

What if they did exist

Would they steal my name, my skin

Make me dance until I was only a skelton

If I ate their food, could I ever leave

If one would ask me who I am

And I said who I was

What would happen

Would I know myself

And if I stepped into their circle

Made of leaves and flowers and mushrooms

Would they take me away

To their fairy court

A place with dances and royals and beauty

Where every night I would celebrate until I would pass out

Only to wake the next day to do it all again

And would my beauty even fade

Because fairies could be fallen angels

Or a combination of heaven and hell

And mortal’s are not

They are temporary

Am I temporary

If fairies existed

Would I be the same

Or would I change

Hey. Gentiles. Listen up for a sec.

When September and October are nearing and you’re planning an event: google “Rosh Hashanah *year*” and *Yom Kippur *year*” and then, and I cannot stress this enough, don’t plan your event on those days. In fact, don’t plan any events starting sundown the night before. Those are the three most important days of the Jewish calendar, and, once again, I cannot stress enough how much this little bit of forethought and kindness will make every Jew you know cry tears of joy.

#shoutout to my 12th grade english teacher who just let everyone work on college apps while I was out on the high holy days #rather than conducting class like normal and giving me makeup work #I was so incredibly shocked at his kindness and he will have my heart forever #judaism #nina rambles #rosh hashanah #yom kippur #high holy days #high holidays #jewish

This does not matter and will not affect your life at all, but a split infinitive is when you put a word between “to” and “your verb” eg., “to boldly go” rather than “to go boldly.”

Sincerely,

Your friendly neighborhood English teacher

you'd think that they would have gone over that at least once during my literal actual college writing degree that i graduated with. but no!

which fictional character was Emma Mountebank's gay awakening?

I was sitting here looking at this for like ten seconds and then my answer entered stage left at light speed and hit me like a brick to the face: she def didn't REALIZE it at the time but like, in hindsight... Emma's Gay Awakening was Lara Croft circa 2001. The Angelina Jolie!Lara era.

Honorable mention to Evie's sai fight in The Mummy Returns (also 2001)

#I will now die on this hill #Emma watched the 2000s Lara Croft movies with Jacob and pretended to hate it all but she was having a gay crisis internally #(picture Dylan side eyeing her the whole time if this was a counselors activity. like girl I SEE you crisis-ing over there) #NO I'm not projecting at all why do you ask #literally tho I watched the mummy movies at LEAST once a month every month all throughout childhood #my parents didn't raise me those movies raised me I'm so fr rn #the sai fight scene....... that's when everyone Should Have Known bc I was OBSESSED #but like. shoutout to my dad for watching all of Angelina's Lara croft movies regularly bc clueless baby gay me ate that shit up too #see also: transformers except I was 12 and wrote na essay about how awful Michael bay is for how he treated Megan fox #kudos to my English teacher who had to put up with me ahsjkfhjfkhjg #ANYWAY this ask was a gift ty moth!!!! #answered #emma mountebank #headcanons #mine #the quarry

whenever people talk about taylor being "fake" or "performative" is makes me feel extra autistic because are we not all performers? do we not all adapt our behavior to fit in and appeal to our audience, whether that be a stadium of fans or a room of peers? is it possible to ever stop performing in our contemporary era of social media and mass surveillance, even performing when ostensibly alone in case there is an audience we cannot see? does any of this make sense?

The fact education as it’s practiced rn is more mere validation of already acquired skills and information regurgitation (within the limits of what the state values ofc) rather than actual comprehensive transmission of knowledge is making me go mad

#again shoutout to my english teacher who actually engages with us #sam speaks #im considering going into education and its. daunting

my fellow writers, if you’re ever self-conscious about reusing motifs and imagery, just remember you haven’t written over 350 omegaverse fics for the same ship

I absolutely love the arc for “stereotypical barbie”’s character in the Barbie movie. At the start of the movie, she’s content to exist as she does — she doesn’t have a high profile job like some of the other Barbies, and she doesn’t necessarily have a specific slot to be put in that’s remarkable in a traditional sense (ie, she’s not President, or winning nobel prizes, etc.) but that’s okay because she doesn’t feel any pressure to distinguish herself by such dramatic means from the crowd. After she’s exposed to the patriarchal land of the real world and of Kendom she starts to inherit this worldview where she is only valuable if she is remarkable beyond reasonable expectation. Unless she’s literally president, or winning nobel prizes, which is a ridiculously high bar, she feels worthless and invaluable, where no one (not even her) questions the value of the Ken’s that are only drinking beer and devaluing the women around them. She inherits the view of so many women that if she isn’t perfect, or somehow dramatically different from everyone else, she’s worthless. She has a strong need to have something define her by her accomplishments or her looks because if that’s not there she can’t just exist without a purpose or some sort of justification for her existence.

Her arc of becoming human is so powerful then because all she wanted was to exist, and for that to justify itself. She doesn’t have lofty goals of running a massive corporation, or becoming president of the real world, or anything else (not that she couldn’t, but that she doesn’t have those goals in an effort to define herself) she is content in being — just *being.* She can exist and doesn’t have to prove herself worthy of that. She can just be human, and find intrinsic value in that.

I think so many women fall victim to this trap of feeling like if they’re not somehow the main character, or like the best out of a bunch of people, or can’t define themselves to the point of burnout or doing themselves harm, then they aren’t worth anything or their lives are pointless or they’re less valuable. When in reality, women don’t need to explain why they are valuable or why they have a point to their existence or a purpose or something — they can just be. And that’s okay. It’s beautiful.

I love that arc, and maybe this is me reading into it or maybe this is me exercising basic media literacy. Who knows!

Ok so since my life is beginning to free up again (if you care what i’ve been up to look at the post before this one)

ANYWAY i wanna get my motivation boosted again!

I want y’all to send me sentence prompts, could be specifically g/t or just a cool sentence, I’ll write a short thing for one of my aus based on that prompt! And if I don’t know what to write for it, I’ll try and draw it! This is mostly a writing exercise for me, but i’m never opposed to more random doodling!

You don’t have to specify an au or character, you can just sent in a sentence, but if you really want to, know that I’m gonna stick to my aus and not just miscellaneous g/t scenarios.

So if you send a sentence prompt with requested characters that dont make sense with any of my aus, i will morph what i need to morph to make the prompt fit. However if you send a random sentence prompt and just an au title that will almost indefinitely work.

If this is confusing just send me a sentence prompt lol, i swear i’m not picky

#edit: people are sending me fake fic titles and I do appreciate that!! But also i suck at fake fic titles ang genera vague prompts sorry #*and general #i may or may not answer those depending on if I can make the title into like dialogue or something #mcyt g/t #mcyt gt #sentence prompt ask game #also i need practice at writing shorter things #my stories are needlessly long and i know if #*it #so do my english teachers #shoutout to my english teacher last year who asked us to write an essay on ‘something we were passionate about’ #and received a 9 page essay on the difficulties of having ADHD in school #received from me if that wasn’t clear #and she let me turn it in for the quarterly even tho I did it the first week of school #i loved that woman W english teacher
