anyway i’m just thinking about how much nicer my relationships are with people when the things i have to do for them are little things like “remember a detail about their day” and not “finish that work project you’ve been putting off for like a week now which they really need you to have finished, like, yesterday”
it may have actually been more like 18 months, i forget which year this was and am really just guessing
remember that time when that one lesbian couple was like “actually it’s really hard to be both partners and coworkers and like we’re able to do it because we’re really on top of our shit but it’s not for most people” and then like six months later it came out that one of them was abusive and subsequently was put out on the streets
“kibi that’s obviously very gay”, you might say, but you know? i would similarly say that there is a lot of christianity in the chronicles of narnia
« She used to place her pretty arms about my neck, draw me to her, and laying her cheek to mine, murmur with her lips near my ear, "Dearest, your little heart is wounded; think me not cruel because I obey the irresistible law of my strength and weakness; if your dear heart is wounded, my wild heart bleeds with yours. In the rapture of my enormous humiliation I live in your warm life, and you shall die–die, sweetly die–into mine. I cannot help it; as I draw near to you, you, in your turn, will draw near to others, and learn the rapture of that cruelty, which yet is love; so, for a while, seek to know no more of me and mine, but trust me with all your loving spirit."
And when she had spoken such a rhapsody, she would press me more closely in her trembling embrace, and her lips in soft kisses gently glow upon my cheek. »
« Young people like, and even love, on impulse. I was flattered by the evident, though as yet undeserved, fondness she showed me. I liked the confidence with which she at once received me. She was determined that we should be very near friends.
Next day came and we met again. I was delighted with my companion; that is to say, in many respects.
Her looks lost nothing in daylight–she was certainly the most beautiful creature I had ever seen, and the unpleasant remembrance of the face presented in my early dream, had lost the effect of the first unexpected recognition. » it’s fiction; don’t read too deeply into it

• Relatedly, I’ve recently gone and blocked a fair number of instances.
• Relatedly relatedly, while I haven’t silenced any instances solely for having open registrations ⁜yet⁜, it’s a factor which I will likely take into account in the future.
