Ugly Privilege is being the ‘relationship expert’ when your friends are going through relationship issues and you got no experience with romantic relationships
Are you a “can’t write dialogue” writer or a “can’t describe anything” writer
I can’t do a fucking thing my guy
We all know tampons and pads are super fucking expensive but the most wholesome part of life is that I’ve never met someone who wasn’t willing to give you one when you needed it
It’s the little things
The idea that a mermaid would give up the entire whole oceans and eternal life for a human man is propaganda
Asterion says Mum bought you pearls again and Ariadne rolls her eyes, provoking, and pushes the comb through her straight hair with more force than necessary.
sometimes she dreams of being dead
Asterion watches from the other side of his room, frozen on the childish office chair their parents bought him years ago; his fingernails drill in the ripped cotton that’s washed and bleached down to a hideous sea-green by now.
it’s not as horrible as it sounds
His eyes never leave his sister’s body – how she sways, how she bends, how she fucking moves – He wants to chain her up.
a grave may be dark but a grave is silent
Strap her. Strip her.
a grave doesn’t judge
Cut and purge and caress her wild-kissed brown skin that glistens golden and warm as soon as stray sun-rays cast their bright shine on her. He wants to bite down in the soft flesh of her thighs and choke on the blood that he will taste there.
a grave doesn’t care if you’ve put enough makeup on your face
or if your dress is long enough to cover your thighs
but short enough to show your kneesHe wants to moan. To unravel her. To rip the delicate layer of her skin with his bare hands.
a grave simply is
He wants to fuck her, to control her, to thrust into her, deeper and deeper, he wants to – Do you think Theseus will notice me? Asterion blinks.
instead she wakes in the mornings
and is too exhausted to try living againAriadne turns around and faces him, her lips shiny and luscious and pink. Ariadne, his sister. He swallows.
do you ever get so annoyed at everything that you start to get pissed off at even little things like a spoon clinking against a bowl or sounds of people talking
I think it’s called sensory overload. It’s really common in people with anxiety
it can also be a result of sleep deprivation, stress, or ever dehydration !!
thanks i thought i was just a bitch
tumblr: that thing you like is Problematic and you should feel bad for liking it
me, an adult capable of critical thinking and criticizing things while still wholeheartedly enjoying them: please get out of my living room
car chase scenes in movies: don’t let him get away! follow the 98 sonata!!!
me, who literally only tells cars apart by colours: the what
“don’t reduce this female character down to a love interest” does not translate into “this female character shouldn’t have a love interest.”
preventing female characters with strong, compelling narratives from experiencing love, intimacy, and affection is just as regressive as reducing them down to sexual accessories for male characters. it assumes that women must choose between a romantic interest and depth of character and ignores a far more productive message: that women are capable of possessing both.
