the hardest lines ALWAYS come from fanfics and I stand by this
(credit to the authors!! I can't remember where exactly they all came from but if u recognise their work pls tag them :) they deserve way more recognition!!)
there's nothing quite like a random piece of media you consumed ages ago and loved at the time but kinda forgot about after coming back to you years later absolutely out of nowhere like "you thought you could forget about me? don't worry! i'm here to be the only thing you care about yet again" and then the cycle repeats
it's fun but also painful because the intensity of the obsession revived makes it hard to focus on anything else like someone get these fictional people out of my head please
Xiao Xingchen took the bowl with two hands. "Of course I want to live. If I may live on, then allow me to persist."
"Xiao Xingchen" saying this to Wei Wuxian is just. Gnawing my own arm off. I can't.
Like. Argh. Yeah, of course Xue Yang is a survivor. Feral street cat. Bobcat. Palas cat. He wants to live, he will live, and thrive, and every second of being alive is a middle finger to the former Chang clan leader and to everyone else who treated him like something they stepped in when he was just a kid who needed help.
But he's also saying this as Xiao Xingchen. As him, about him. As if saying this while pretending to be Xiao Xingchen will make it true for Xiao Xingchen.
He's as determined to raise Xiao Xingchen as he is to survive himself - and the howling, desperate Why of it all is killing him. Can't Xue Yang want to live enough for both of them? Why doesn't Xiao Xingchen want to live, like Xue Yang? Why doesn't Xiao Xingchen want to live like Xue Yang?

— a quote from Billy-Ray Belcourt's collection of personal essays.
[twt.]
Moran and chu wanning experienced hardships true but so did xue meng he was there when chu wanning died he was broken too . When moran and shi mei left he felt lonely too. In the end he was left alone all by himself and he had no control over it. In two lifetimes he saw his parents die and in the second he learned that his father was not his father and his brother was not his brother. But he still believed in them loved them .He too admired chu wanning .
When fate sentences you with solitude. When family is dead and friends have other priorities it’s something that could happen to anyone and it’s something so immensely tragic .
absence is heavier when love was greater.
The way everyone I know is so comfortable and content to use chatgpt to do everything for them is actually fucking crazy. What do you mean you are using chatgpt to vent. What do you mean you can’t produce art without using chatgpt because you have no ideas. What do you mean you can’t write a basic fucking essay without using chatgpt. What do you MEAN you can’t do RESEARCH without it?!?!?!?!??!?! IT CAN’T DO RESEARCH. WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT ARE YOU ALL LOSING YOUR DAMN MINDS. You can’t have a fucking coherent original thought?!?!?!?! You’re not capable of thinking for yourself??? Oh my fucking GOD yeah let’s just destroy the planet because we’re too incompetent to fucking use our brains
