Yes, please, to each other and then me!
Jaheira coming back to her house and immediately getting tag-team roasted by all of her children will never not be hilarious to me
if I ever have kids I aspire to raise them to be this sarcastic
writing is just sitting in front of a computer and making up problems for imaginary people while ignoring your own. fun and casual hobby.
Hey, take it from someone creeping towards 40:
Ignore the fun police.
If you like it, order your steak well done. Get your bagel toasted with jam and butter. Put ice in your scotch and ketchup on your hotdog. Get red wine with fish and white with steak. Who cares?
If you want to, listen to pop music. Watch blockbuster popcorn flicks. Read dime store novels. Enjoy them.
Dye your hair or cut it off. Paint your fingernails blue. Wear whatever the fuck you want on your own time (ie, when not at a job or school or whatever where you can get penalized for breaking rules) as long as you aren’t like welding or shoveling snow.
Anyone who tries to tell you you’re wrong? Say “okay” and go back to what you were doing. You’re not hurting them by enjoying yourself or having things the way you like them.
There are no caveats or addendums to this. No “but what about x?” Nah. You’re allowed the things you like. You don’t have to justify your taste or apologize for it if it’s not hurting anyone.
And likewise, let other people live their lives. We’re all dead in the long run, so tend your own garden before you become fertilizer in it.

gabrielle saying that for the few minutes xena's soul was possessing her body she felt warm and protected..... what if you did horrible things in your past and felt like an irredeemably bad person and you were a warrior who doesn't have it in her to give up the fight and you thought that made you bad beyond saving but then this woman you've fallen in love with (against all odds) tells you that for a few minutes when she could feel your spirit inside of her and truly understand what it was like to be you, she felt nothing but safe and warm and loved and protected. what then. 😐
"Eh? Jaheira? I... do not understand." "Good. That means you're back to your old ways."
I’m going to say this one time, and one time only: I think Mizu and Taigen would be cute together.
That is all.
This. This is what I actually want.
I want Dame Aylin to teach me how to be a strong, sword-wielding lesbian for my girlfriend. I want to train with her so I can go home and pick my gf up and spin her around easily like Aylin does with Isobel. Aylin and I would be besties
