i’m sorry but the kids today won’t understand the little furrowed-brow moments that were the camera zooming in to Asami as Korra was dying from poison
the jump as it cut to Asami’s lips holding a pin to put in Korra’s hair
the head-shake and throat-catch as Asami’s hand closed around Korra’s with a pledge of being there for her
that was how we left it for months
and then we came back and Korra was writing letters to Asami
Asami complimented Korra’s hair
Korra said “you’re so sweet”
you don’t
you
you cannot understand
I’m just…I’m serious about that
if you weren’t there you don’t know what that’s like and you can never know what that’s like because we KNEW but also we were witnessing an unknowable phenomenon because it was unprecedented you just
you don’t know
none of you who weren’t there at the time
you who weren’t witnessing
it was……………unlike anything it was just
that
THAT was Korrasami
and this isn’t even getting into their subtle interactions before, the generic interactions, the Basic Stuff, that was just “oh hahahaha wouldn’t it be funny” “OH LOOK THEY’RE STANDING NEXT TO EACH OTHER THAT MEANS THEY’RE GOING TO MARRY EACH OTHR” you don’t understand that this was ALL EVERYONE EVER HAD this was all that people were used to you don’t know you don’t Get It it was That it is was Just That it was Just Sparring it was Just a Rescue it was..I’m sorry I’m actually crying right now, this is actually emotional, because it was a thing.
so no I will get upset when people say it Wasn’t Enough or it deserved better because no you don’t understand everything deserved better but this was how so many others got what they deserved
IT WAS WHAT IT WAS
IT WAS SO MUCH
DO YOU KNOW HOW MUCH HAD TO HAPPEN TO GET TO THAT HANDHOLD
IF IT HAS BEEN A VERY LONG DAY, YOU ARE ‘WEARY’. IF SOMEONE IS ACTING IN A WAY THAT MAKES YOU SUSPICIOUS, YOU ARE ‘WARY’.
ALL IN ‘DUE’ TIME, NOT ‘DO’ TIME
‘PER SE’ NOT ‘PER SAY’

TO- GOING ONE PLACE TOWARDS ANOTHER
TWO- 2, A NUMBER BETWEEN 1 AND 3
TOO- A DESCRIPTIVE WORD, THE MUSIC IS TOO LOUD, THE SHIRT IS TOO LOOSE.

Beep boop! I look for accidental haiku posts. Sometimes I mess up.
I’m gonna add
ROGUE: CRIMINAL/REBEL/VAGRANT/ETC
ROUGE: RED MAKEUP
it’s rogues gallery, guys. Not rouge gallery. You’re making me think batman has an extensive lipstick collection.
If you’re talking about a weapons CACHE, it’s pronounced cash.
If you say cashay, that’s how CACHET is pronounced which means prestige and does not mean a collection of items stored together in a hidden/inaccessible place.
NO ONE IS ‘PREJUDICE"
PEOPLE ARE “PREJUDICED”
If he’s not moving, he’s STATIONARY.
If he’s a fucking space pencil, then carry on with STATIONERY.
If it’s wet precipitation falling out of the sky, it’s RAIN
If it’s someone ruling over people, it’s REIGN
If it’s holding back someone from (or getting someone to stop doing) something, that’s to REIN [them] IN (…as if you were using REINS on a horse)
(and oh yeah)
If you’re telling someone they’re going to have to reconsider an opinion or course of action, then they have ANOTHER THINK COMING
(because “another thing coming” makes no damn sense whatsoever unless they’re in some kind of monster movie, ffs)

And my favourite recent one,
It is “TO ALL INTENTS AND PURPOSES” and not “TO ALL INTENSIVE PURPOSES”.
Why do people stop commenting on fics if they’re more than a week or two old? Please comment on old fics. Tell me you like my one shot from 2014.Tell me you like my old multi-chap I finished in 2016 that I spent a year writing. I will be fucking thrilled.
Fics are not social media posts. There’s no “stalking” someone’s “old posts”. They’re meant to be found and enjoyed years down the line. No need to be nervous.
AO3 is a library. Except in this library you can tell the writer how much you loved their story. They love when you do that. Please do that, no matter how old that fine story is…
I found out what lesbian means today, Ella told me at recess. It’s unfair because girls are so much prettier than guys. It’s like comparing a flower to an old shoe. But I’m not a lesbian, almost 99% of my friends are guys.
Shakespeare could only aspire to this level of dramatic irony.
I hate it when your parents are like “I know you better than you know yourself!” Like no you don’t
Like oh, you’re an expert on the inner machinations of my psyche? Name three of my top ten existential dreads
“But I raised you!” Ya and the only version of me that you know is the one I carefully crafted so that you wouldn’t ask me questions because it became obvious early on you couldn’t handle the honest answers
straight people will never understand how therapeutic it is to hear the words “her girlfriend” or “his boyfriend” or how I ascend to heaven when I hear “her wife” and “his husband”
Female customer: “I don’t have a rewards card but my partner might.”
Me, ears perking up: “Great! Can I have their name?”
Customer: “It’s Stephanie ____”
Me: stupidly wide smile and faint twinkle in eyes because holy crap I’m not alone
These two women came up to my register with their twins and they called each other honey and their kids called them both Mom and my soul ascended to the heavens i was so happy
When I worked as a contractor I knocked on a heavily pregnant woman’s door and she said she’d “have to talk to the missus” in a heeeeavy outback accent and I actually forgot how to speak for a second and had to explain that I’m not homophobic I’m just super gay and hearing her say that launched my souls directly to nirvana
My soul when I see Queer people visibly and openly living their best Queer lives:
LGBT visibility is so important for this reason and more.
