my thoughts on the Avatar movies:
can I tell you the plot of any of the movies? no
can I name any of the characters? no
can I tell you why mr man is special to one group and wanted by the other? no
can I quote any line beyond "BRO!"? no
can I tell you how the whales got all pierced and tatted up? no

well, three indicator lights are currently on in my car, if that tells you anything

straight women: the romance genre is important because it centers women's pleasure!

also straight women: I like MM romance because I like dick

also also straight women: I don't like FF romance because it's yucky

I think I am one of the few people in Utah who LOVES when it snows in the valley

I live somewhere with 4 distinct seasons and I want to experience each season to the fullest, dammit!

just learned that my 27yo coworker didn't know Wicked has anything to do with the Wizard of Oz...

AND he's also never seen the Wizard of Oz

my brother asked to borrow my (thrifted) copy of ACOTAR but couldn't find it on the shelf...

...because he was literally looking for a book titled "ACOTAR"

my male coworker who unfortunately knows I'm a writer: Do I get to read your book?
me, thinking about the explicit lesbian strap on scene I wrote last night: Mmmm, probably not

the salt flats is a much better and cooler location for the Secret Lives of Mormon Wives opening than the muddy puddle they tried to glam up last season

why do some coconut body products smell like summer in a bottle and others smell like cheese

A dozen mommy issues in a trench coat (2 moms=twice the issues)
The family disappointment
A contract fighter
Looking for revenge

what people think I mean when I say my book is an Arcane-inspired sapphic romance vs. what I actually mean
