I Feel Like A Lot Of The Time 'cringe' Is Used As A Catch All Word For 'sincerity.'

i feel like a lot of the time 'cringe' is used as a catch all word for 'sincerity.'

to be sincere, to wear your heart on your sleeve - that IS kind of cringe! it's fragile, it leaves you vulnerable. but that's sort of the point - it's also infectious.

someone close to you explaining their niche interest? wonderful.

being at a party and getting embroiled in an hour long conversation about the development of the original pokemon designs? fantastic.

accidentally pulling an all-nighter because you stumbled across a hyperspecific video essay on youtube? an unparalleled feeling.

everything worth falling in love with is going to be called embarrassing by someone else. knowing it upsets someone to see you shining is part of the process. kill 'em with kindness.

apathy is boring is out everywhere now.

gonna thrift a black shirt tomorrow so i can paint "im kenough" on it in metal font and give it to my cousin <3

pov you wake up from the dead and stare at the love of your life leaning over you and wonder where his fishtail went

anyone remember that book by the curious george authors abt the transgender kangaroo

Can I also say how touching it is that Stede said he believed Ed would he happier without him, who, even in his fantasies, could only picture Ed wanting him as a picture of masculinity with a beard and no hesitation to kill. Stede still, deep down, doesn't understand why Ed would ever want him as he is.

But who did Ed see coming down to rescue him? It wasn't a manly recreation of Stede with a beard, masculine style and a killing spirit, it was a merman. Someone bright, colourful, by all accounts a rather feminine perception of Stede.

That was who rescued Ed. It wasn't who Stede thought he needed to be, it was someone soft, and bright, and graceful, and expressive. Someone feminine, someone queer.

I just think that's beautiful.

is...is izzy lying to protect stedes...image of ed??

saying that hes the one who wrecked the place when it was so obviously a heartbroken blackbeard?

and he only lets up and tells the truth when stede pressed for it, after everything edward did he still wants...stede to love him?? they all kind of do?

i'm sick
