if i died and was reincarnated in another world i would dedicate my entire second life to understanding the mechanics of how my consciousness was transferred from our world to that other world. and i would find a way to return to our world to resume posting on tumblr
Propaganda under the cut!
That post about 30 year old coming of age stories?
I’ve been thinking about it all morning. What would the plot points be for that? What makes a 30 year old coming of age story?
Old folks sound off in the comments
This article about a woman who went on a life changing lesbian cruise.
Rather than beginnings like teenage coming of age stories, a 30's coming of age is about change.
The thing about turning 30 is that you know yourself better, and you are usually just starting to have the means to seek what you want. You have enough life experience to know what you like and don't like. You may have a little disposable income, freedom from family, or finally be treating something like depression.
It isn't like being a teenager where the coming of age is new experiences; it's coming of age in knowing what you want and changing your circumstances. You look around and think, "I want and deserve better than this, and I can do it," and you make the change.
Getting a new job. Going back to school. Dating someone new. Moving somewhere else. Going on a long trip. Trying a new hobby. Or even just dressing differently! There's so many ways this coming of age can occur.
But there are layers to this. Unlike a teenage growing up story where you're writing on a blank slate, a 30's coming of age is turning the page. You might have to do something painful. Quit your job. Break up with someone. Say goodbye to your hometown. There's change. And with that, comes apprehension for the future and grief over the past, but you work through that anyway to seek something better for yourself.
To quote the article above, one of my favorite quotes of all time: "There’s something so deliriously pleasurable in the idea of trusting myself enough to know exactly what I want.”
Oh and by the way. This doesn't just have to be the plot of a book or fic. This can be your life, too. You can always do better.
Getting older isn't bad. Turning 30 isn't the end of your life. Things can be better once you know yourself more and know what you want. Embrace it.
Comics suck bcuz they seem so insane and overwhelming and complicated on first glance but when you actually get into it it’s like Ok this isn’t that bad and in fact Why isn’t my guy in even MORE books
oh my god there's only one bed, surely there'll be awkwardness in the mornin– OH they woke up in each other's embrace?!?!!? AKSOWJSJENXLAOQLSJDBNECYEBRBFOEPWMCNSGAYWHFBDOAKSNYXBEBDJSHABWNCOSKJJDKWKSJDHSHWJWJJSUSHWIDNWBDGSJWNWHDIWBDHDJBD
if i had a dollar for every time ive had to fight a group of 20+ rats, i'd have 3. which isn't a lot but alarming that it happened thrice
it's true, and I'm glad an industry veteran with a large platform is saying it
This site's tolerance and acquiescence to incest is so fucking insane like "I don't support it but my mutual is cool so I'll allow it" "richard siken's artistic contributions to society absolve him" "ethel cain can ship whatever, she's earned it" like I'm not going to lie to you it's kinda looking like you do support it...
this post is perfect because it hits that sweet spot of being able to destroy my notifications with pissed off people forever BUT also being controversial enough that people who agree with this won't reblog it either so it's never breaching containment and I live in peace
not enough fucked up little freak animals in the barbie movie. not enough busted ass capital-c Creatures. barbie god's™ mistakes.
