Reading my own fanfiction is basically just a rollercoaster of emotional whiplash.

20% of the time: “Hold on. I wrote this? This is fire. This is emotionally devastating in the best way. This scene is dripping with tension. I’m a literary perfectionist. Someone give me a book deal.”

80% of the time: “Straight to jail. Immediate prison. Why is everyone’s breath hitching?. I used the word ‘gaze’ three times in one paragraph like I was possessed. Did I think 'his eyes darkened' was profound? Why is everyone clenching their jaws? Why is someone whispering 'their name like a prayer' again?? No one talks like this. What is this dialogue. Why are there so many weird metaphors and em-dashes…”

Addams Family Values (1993) dir. Barry Sonnenfeld I don't wanna hurt anybody. I don't enjoy hurting anybody. I don't like guns, or bombs, or electric chairs. But sometimes people just won't listen. And so, I have to use persuasion. And slides.

The older I get the less I can comprehend grown-ass adults being mean to kids, people in customer service, and especially teenagers in customer jobs. Saw some kid in a fast food place in an uniform that clearly stated "work training" and how I feel is almost exactly the same as seeing a little puppy in a harness that says "guide dog in training, do not disturb".

Like oh my god little baby has a job! Good job small baby!
