This Is A Friendly Reminder To Never, Ever Publish Your Book With A Publishing Company That Charges You

To the fandom:

No, Nesta does not, in fact, need to get kicked in the throat, shouted at or get her ass beaten. No Azriel should not give her a good ass kicking in ACSF. And this, no matter what she did in the past, no matter what she said to Feyre. 

If you believe this is how it should go… If you believe that because Nesta was abusive in the first chapters of ACOTAR, then it excuses you suggesting verbal and physical abuse on a traumatised 25 year old fictional character to whom real people relate, then unfollow me and never set your foot near my blog ever again. 

Me: *at work*

Brain: oh hey so here's the cure for that writer's block you've been having

Me: *driving*

Brain: and here's some eloquent dialogue to go with it

Me: *at the grocery store*

Brain: remember that plot hole? fixed it.

Me: *in the shower*

Brain: you know that scene that's been giving you hell? here's three perfectly plotted ways for it to play out

Me: *actually sits down to write*

Brain: *dial tone*

being gray ace is funny bc like. i’m bisexual but only when I can be bothered

nobody:

bisexuals sitting:

I personally wanna see less 'you are not a burden/it's not work to love you' and more 'you are worth the work it takes to love you.' I KNOW I'm a burden sometimes. that isn't such a terrible thing! humans are strong. we can carry burdens. and it is work for me to be there for my friends, but it's work I'm willing to do.

we need to acknowledge this because pretending love isn't work will never make people like me feel less guilty for accepting love. we need to talk about it so people don't feel bad for having boundaries and not always being up to do the work. we need to accept it so we can properly appreciate what others do for us and what we're doing for them.

yes it does take work to love you. but guess what? you still deserve love, and you deserve people who are willing to do the work to love you. it doesn't make you bad. all love take work. and everyone is worth it.

Not me romancing Gale so hard in act 1 that even Shadowheart comments about how often our silly sexy wizard is not so subtle about staring longingly in Tav’s direction lmao

Reblog if you’re bisexual, support bisexual people or are actually a bunch of tiny velociraptors in a human suit

you don’t need purity in the material you consume

you have a brain, you are capable of critical thinking, you can sift through the material and keep what is edifying for you and discard what isn’t

flaws don’t necessarily make material worthless

i have a hill to die on real quick
