i completely understand what you’re saying but as a person with a low self-esteem issue and imposter syndrome, as someone who always feels she’s lacking, i cannot express to you how incredibly satisfying it is to watch or read a well-written “chosen one” trope , specially if it’s a female protagonist
there are so many movies and books which use the chosen one trope and i can’t get enough of it.
Moana? Hit me with that puro. Princess diaries? Slap me one of those. Harry freaking Potter? not a female protag but damn what a series. Equal Rites by Terry Pratchett? Yes please! Kung Fu Panda? uh? HELL YEAH
Like, as a writer, I get why writers think it may not be the best way to tell a story, but as an audience member and a reader, I straight up love that shit. I love seeing someone who is seemingly extremely bad for the job be the only one who can actually do the job, I LOVE to see them struggle with their self-doubt, fumble through all the things they have to go through despite being massively underprepared, question their abilities and be all like “But you’ve got the wrong person” and all the while their destiny is telling them “You stuck up bitch, you ARE THE ONE.”
It is simply gratifying to feel that no matter how unequipped and incapable i think i am, there’s something bigger than the material world, who thinks i am fucking meant to get this job done
Any recommendations for reunited SanSan fanfics? Preferably having their storylines twine back together after Sansa's experiences on the run with Petyr? No pref on book or show-centric. Thank you loves!

my skin and lips tends to become extremely dry, dull and flaky in the winter months due to freezing weather and drying indoor heating, so here are some tips to help you guys out!
• moisturize!! seriously!! twice a day!!! this balances out oily/ dry patches of you skin, and will reduce inflammation if you have sensitive skin (like mee)
• you don’t need to exfoliate too often, i use my face scrub once a week (variable depending on your skin type), this boosts skin regeneration and makes product absorption better
• drinks loads of water, or green tea, or herbal teas, or warm water with lemon e.t.c whatever keeps you hydrated! it’s so easy to forget when you’re busy, so carry a water bottle wherever you go, and aim to drink all of it by the end of the day for example
• eat foods with high water-content, examples include strawberries, apples, oranges and veggies like celery and cucumber. an adequate diet will benefit your skin and well as ur physical health
• use organic, good-quality lip balm, ones like burt’s bees, pangea organics, the body shop will really help chapped lips
• remove dead skin from your lips by wetting them with luke-warm water, and scrubbing them dry with a towel. my friend said scru cream is a good exfoliater, but i haven’t tried it
• get enough sleep!! if you’re sleep-deprived, your body produces the stress hormone cortisol, which will stress out your skin, and cause inflammation

I can’t stop imagining him being such sweetheart. ♥
I’ll think another with Inukimi for later.
if you define “woman” as anyone who feels like one, or whatever, then there is no actual basis of female reality. the struggles of natal women are erased and swept under the rug in the name of “inclusion” and we move backwards.
I’m not sorry.

April Fools by spare | T | Yuuri/Victor, Yuuri & Victor & Yuri P. | 1k
“There’s a Japanese saying for this, isn’t there? ‘Colds can’t catch fools’, or something to that effect?”
On the anniversary of Victor’s arrival in Hasetsu, a drunken swim leaves Yuuri with a cold. Good thing Victor’s there to help him get well. (Ufun.) Three interconnected scenes in three perspectives.
Bumps and Bruises by IllyasJames | G | Yuuri/Victor | 1k
After getting distracted by his own thoughts Yuuri flubs a jump and lands on his head a bit hard. When the day progresses Yuuri starts to feel worse.
Feverish by KasumiChou | G | Yuuri/Victor | 2k
He didn’t want to admit that everything hurt.
That he had a pounding headache that felt so bad that Yuuri almost wanted to bash his head against the wall, because the pain would probably be less than his pounding headache.
He didn’t want to admit that the room was spinning.
That he felt like throwing up, despite not having eaten much in days.
But he couldn’t stop.
He needed to lose more weight, he still wasn’t thin enough.
He needed to practice his jumps, they needed to be perfect.
He needed to improve his step sequence, it needed to be better than ever before.
He couldn’t stop now.
More Than Words can Say by mypoorfaves | G | Yuuri/Victor | 3k

Not too bad by DesertRainFrog | G | Yuuri/Victor | 1k
There is a certain amount of pressure you can put on a body, but if you take it away it crumbles.
Yuuri overworks himself and Victor takes care of him. Basically your standard sickfic… give it a read!
Of Fevers and Family by mypoorfaves | G | Yuuri/Victor | 1k
Yuuri is fevered and emotional and starts crying because he thinks Yuri hates him. How will Yuri react?
Out but not down by IllyasJames | M | Yuuri/Victor | 2k
After having to have dealt with Victor and his fever, Yuuri seems to have caught it himself. Bad luck for Victor, If he thought he was clingy Yuuri got him beat. Not to mention, having a fever, beats being drunk as well.
Reunion by CheekyPotato | NR | Yuuri/Victor | 2k
After a month apart due to competitions, Yuuri finally reunites with his fiance but it doesn’t go as planned.
Right as Rain by mypoorfaves | G | Yuuri/Victor | 2k
Yuuri runs to the pharmacy to get medicine to stave off his oncoming cold, all whilst keeping his illness a secret from Victor. Then Yuuri gets caught in the rain, which doesn’t do good for his already-weakened immune system. How will Victor react when Yuuri comes home soaking wet and freezing cold, and how will Yuuri recover?
