• We're supposed to have free will. That includes being unhappy. That includes making the wrong decisions and getting hurt, or even doing something terrible. We're on this planet to grow and change, and sometimes that can only happen through struggle. Do you understand?
    • The Seep by Chana Porter
  • There are some sorrows so great they are unspeakable, taking hold in the body and leaving a void after the fact. There are some depths that love can never again reach. The mind anoints every fossil with significance in an attempt to preseve it—but in time, they all invariably turn to dust
    • Notes of a Crocodile by Qiu Miaojin, Bonnie Huie (translator)
  • It is the privilege of old people to seem to know everything. But it's an act and ..._my_ mask, my act, my certainty? Don't I play it well?

  • my visual content is mostly sfw but i will openly participate in discussion of nsfw topics.
  • i no longer participate actively in fandom but i do like books.
  • we might just get along if you are fond of fictional villains, dark themes in fiction, and works like The Far Side and Sayonara, Zetsubou-sensei .
  • i'm a fandom Old (as in, Ge*Cities fansites and Devi*ntArt and Liv*Journal Old). if you are much younger than i am, please do not follow me if you'd be uncomfortable for any reason whatsoever. i'll softblock you if you're under 18.
  • not a fan of drama or posturing. i'm just here to yell about headcanons and be respectful of each others' hobbies, really. i'll choose discussion over discourse, but i'm also very into meta-readings of fictional work.
  • i'm anti-harassment. that's it.
