i love a good soulmate au but we desperately need more awkward soulmarks like the ones where the first words from your soulmate are on your body? we need more of the most WILD things ever said to be tattooed on people in my opinion- because the amount of times people just enter conversations or overhear the weirdest things said at the wrong time would be such a funny read. soulmate 1 is talking about some weird guy at the gas station soulmate 2 behind them on the subway finally getting context on “ I mean, I did show a guy my feet for 60 bucks once.” that has been tattoed on them their entire life. bring back awkward love stories and awkward people falling in love.

even if you write only a couple of words a day, a paragraph a week, or edited previously written parts of your story, remember that it is still progress!!! any and all forms of working on your story no matter how big or small is still working on it! you don’t have to finish writing a chapter a day to still be writing it, you just have to keep coming back in your own time:) all progress is good progress:)

Only been watching The Pitt for a few days but Mel King is THE best autistic character ever written in a medical drama. She doesn't "make connections no one else can" or "just see things differently" or any other Savant with Special Abilities stereotypical bullshit, she's a resident physician who's exactly as intelligent and capable as any other resident physician in the same year. She hates unnecessary yelling because it's loud and annoying, not because she's completely incapable of handling conflict. She usually keeps her stimming subtle enough to hide but sometimes she can't. She loves having a furry critter to pet. She accommodates an autistic patient by lowering the lights and closing the doors because she understands the sensory nightmare of an active medical setting. She speaks in a straightforward and honest way but she isn't an overtly rude inconsiderate asshole. She misses some jokes and takes things too literally on occasion but she does have a sense of humor and she is funny. She speaks up against misinformation and parent panic about autism and other developmental disabilities. She has emotions. She looks at a video of a lava lamp on her phone to chill. Doctor Mel King you have my entire heart
as a neurodiverse woman every single clip i’ve seen of her is so important to me
genuinely devastated when i see works on ao3 written by chatgpt…..like ao3 is built for the people by the people to express ourselves with our own words to help other people discover their own. there have been works on ao3 that have made me laugh,cry, and learn something about myself all in 100k words NOT because it was a prompt put in and had words spit out by a machine but by a person who could FEEL. understand the hardships of the characters and express it in a way i hurt myself. by a person who knows the fandom well enough to time jokes and references perfectly, because they too care about the characters we love. authors who have spent months or YEARS with their stories and still went to work everyday. you can never tell me a code will be able to write the same way someone who has watched the sunrise and set, who’s had to walk away and say goodbye. someone who has been sick or hurting and had nothing but their art with them. a person who’s had the privilege to be loved and the experience of loss. a machine can never make me feel the same way an excited author with a new chapter does. f AI, support real authors
