“The World Is A Book, And Those Who Don’t Travel Read Only A Page.”

So writers joke a lot about "drinking the tears of our readers", but I want to be so honest with you when I tell you that making you cry isn't our real goal. Making you feel is.

Kicking your feet? Giggling? Can't stop smiling? And yes, crying? Feeling anything, everything. That's our goal. That means we did The Job.

fanfic writers are so fucking awesome man. they write novel length fics that are sometimes even better than some published bestselling books written by professional writers. like fanfic writers are professional writers to me and they gift us their masterpieces for free. they give us something we can look forward to after a long day. something from which we can seek comfort when life is hard. something that can be our own little getaway. in a world of capitalism, despite everything, they give us all of these for free. like holy fuck. shout out to every fanfic writer. I wish all fanfic writers a very ‘I love you with all my heart and soul. I thank you from the bottom of my heart’

Reflections: The Aeneid by Virgil - Chapters 1&2

Hello! I’m currently reading the Aeneid with the subreddit AYearOfMythology on reddit. I decided to post up my responses here on my blog as well as on the subreddit. Hope you enjoy! Let me know what you think! (And I’m totally not procrastinating on doing the reflection questions of Dante’s The Divine Comedy 😛) I’m using the Robert Fagles translation. Question 1 – There are at least two events…

Shoutout to my fellow chronically ill people on tumblr who are having a hard time. This pain doesn't have to last forever. Even if some diseases can't be cured, it doesn't mean they can't be treated and that we can't find more comfort within our lives. We are here. And we will stay here and let people know we exist. Let society know we deserve access to better healthcare, to transportation, any type of equipment that helps us to walk, eat, shower. We deserve caretaking, accessible and safe spaces where we can move freely, better work conditions with good payment, and benefits for those of us who can't work. Yes, you may be in pain. But you are still here. You've been fighting for so long and I know it is tiring, but you are so strong. We need you here. I am here, feeling pain alongside you, feeling tired of fighting, but still holding your hand and telling you to have faith because we can make this world a better place.

You aren’t a failure if you aren’t productive in a way society expects. This applies even when you’re having a good day and could be productive but decide not to be. When we are too drained or in pain or whatever else our chronic illness is causing us, we don’t get to enjoy rest. It’s something that’s forced on us.

It’s okay to have a day where you intentionally rest and take care of yourself even if your body is having a “good” day. This is productive in itself and you’re allowed to take time to enjoy down time.
