I read a bunch of good articles these past couple weeks, so I'm going to try to link there all

"listen up bitches"

the queer erotics of handholding in literature

the intellectual we deserve

how riverdale turns masculinity into a queer thirst trap

young men's minds: looking beyond moods and feelings

the lost girls: a rehearsal for minor tragedies. tangential to this are some thoughts on why I love writing angst, and why so much of my angst centers around loneliness, mental illness, and sexual violence.

masculinity: the personal, the political, and the economic

the epidemic of gay loneliness

ariana grande and the lesbian narcissus. I don't really like the way this article is written.

personal update of sorts because I haven't been around much

- I wrote two fics while I was gone, and one of them I'm even proud of. people keep asking me for sequels to this fic where the ADA confronts Mori and I'm more than a little annoyed at that. confronting Mori would be terrible on Dazai's mental health, and not every narrative of surviving needs to be end in 'confronting' and 'punishing' one's abuser, and if you wanna write them feel free but I am not ever going to with this fic not least because people apparently want it so badly. also I put so much of myself into writing Dazai that I'm half him right now, and I KNOW that confronting Mori would be the Very Worst Thing for him, and right now writing Dazai-centric angst would be tantamount to self-harm and I try not to do that these days.

I also changed my ao3 username from nerdflighter to intimatopia

- I've been more active on twitter lately

- I got into the bungou stray dogs fandom and fell headfirst into kinning Dazai Osamu...anyway please talk to me about bsd I have Emotions
