hey!

hey!

hey!

hi gen z. my people. I love you. but I have been told, on numerous occasions that I am an old woman in a 17 year old body. maybe thats whose writing this post. that bitch.

gen z. shut the fuck up. please. yall are annoying as hell. like genuinely. stop labeling everything you are. stop it. its not that important.

stop canceling people. I dont care if that person said something shitty before we were born. I dont care if they hurt your feelings. your feelings are not a reason to ruin someone's life, to take away their livelihood. and we, this generation is so quick to follow. so dont say "i didnt say I wanted everyone to agree with me and share my post" because we absolutely will, even if we have no information. you know what you're doing.

also!! everything isn't offensive!! no!! and when something is, you know what *isnt* the right solution?? to bully that person to the point where they delete their social media page. to taunt and call names and send death threats and all that jazz. thats not okay. that is just as bad, if not worse, than what that person said. stop it. if you dont like something, stop supporting the person. stop buying or watching. be active about it, not evil. because bullying is evil. its wrong. and fighting fire with fire doesnt do anything but burn everyone.

and finally. I have a problem with this, too. im guilty of it. stop being so mean to *yourself.* you are beautiful, you are loved, you are intelligent and you have the entire world at your fingertips, honey. we are an *amazing* generation with so much talent and activism (when done correctly) and strength. we were born into a *fucked* up world and we just do not know what to do with it. but we have to try a little harder, and do a little better because we deserve that. we got the short end of the stick, but that doesnt mean we can't be better. we are amazing. lets show everybody else, right?

Some of my favorite words and phrases to describe a character in pain

coiling (up in a ball, in on themselves, against something, etc)

panting (there’s a slew of adjectives you can put after this, my favorites are shakily, weakly, etc)

keeling over (synonyms are words like collapsing, which is equally as good but overused in media)

trembling/shivering (additional adjectives could be violently, uncontrollably, etc)

sobbing (weeping is a synonym but i’ve never liked that word. also love using sob by itself, as a noun, like “he let out a quiet sob”)

whimpering (love hitting the wips with this word when a character is weak, especially when the pain is subsiding. also love using it for nightmares/attacks and things like that)

clinging (to someone or something, maybe even to themselves or their own clothes)

writhing/thrashing (maybe someone’s holding them down, or maybe they’re in bed alone)

crying (not actual tears. cry as in a shrill, sudden shout)

dazed (usually after the pain has subsided, or when adrenaline is still flowing)

wincing (probably overused but i love this word. synonym could be grimacing)

doubling-over (kinda close to keeling over but they don’t actually hit the ground, just kinda fold in on themselves)

heaving (i like to use it for describing the way someone’s breathing, ex. “heaving breaths” but can also be used for the nasty stuff like dry heaving or vomiting)

gasping/sucking/drawing in a breath (or any other words and phrases that mean a sharp intake of breath, that shite is gold)

murmuring/muttering/whispering (or other quiet forms of speaking after enduring intense pain)

hiccuping/spluttering/sniffling (words that generally imply crying without saying crying. the word crying is used so much it kinda loses its appeal, that’s why i like to mix other words like these in)

stuttering (or other general terms that show an impaired ability to speak — when someone’s in intense pain, it gets hard to talk)

staggering/stumbling (there is a difference between pain that makes you not want to stand, and pain that makes it impossible to stand. explore that!)

recoiling/shrinking away (from either the threat or someone trying to help)

pleading/begging (again, to the threat, someone trying to help, or just begging the pain to stop)

Feel free to add your favorites or most used in the comments/reblogs!

“Less men in crop tops more men in therapy” you know you can like, criticize toxic masculinity without taking a jab at feminine and gnc men who are often made targets of toxic masculinity right? Like you know you can do that? God I hate that tweet so much.
