Sometimes I Think Humanity Is So Obsessed With The Notion Of Not Being Obligated To Do Something Or Not

Sometimes I think humanity is so obsessed with the notion of not being obligated to do something or not expending effort to do something, that we've completely eradicated the fact that realistically, there's no harm or negative outcome in just.

Doing it.

"Readers aren't obligated to comment on fics." "Friends aren't obligated to check in on each other." "I don't have to not say X so someone else isn't uncomfortable."

Okay but. Paltry excuse for laziness and uncaring aside, why not? Why wouldn't you? It takes less than 15 seconds to let your friend know you hope they have a good day. It takes less than 15 seconds to leave even a single heart emoji under your favorite author's works. It has literally no impact on you, at all, to simply not say something that upsets someone else.

Why are we so obsessed with the fact that we don't have to do things that are actually extremely basic, consume little to no time and cost us nothing? Shouldn't we want to anyway? Where's the joy in life if we're all just sat in our own miserable bubbles refuting most of life's interactions? Why are we so obsessed with the entitlement of consuming things without ever giving anything back?

Its honestly fucking baffling. I hate seeing those Facebook posts from people who brag about not talking to their friends for months on end like its some kind of accomplishment.

Stop thinking about the fact that you don't have to do something and start thinking of the reasons why you should anyway.

I'm curious.

Are there any RPF 'ships' that you are absolutely, wholly, without a doubt convinced have either fucked, are fucking, dated or are dating in secret?

(Excluding obviously celebrities who are confirmed to have been hooking up, dating, ect. I'm talking about the proper experience of having no tangible confirmation they are/have, but You Know.)

If you are going to post praise or support for Jaskier's confirmed sexuality, please do not dedicate it to The Witcher or the showrunners and writers. Dedicate it to Joey. Joey is the one who fought from day one for the show to honor Jaskier's sexuality. Joey is the one who spent weeks arguing with the writers and show runners to make the scenes accurate, engaging, respectful and honest. Joey is the one who said if you're going to use this as a lifeline, you're at least going to do it right.

FYI you can enjoy Jaskier being canonically bisexual while also acknowledging that its being used as a hosepipe on a gasoline fire. Jaskier being bisexual is not the bad thing. How and why its now being included is.

fun fact for anyone confused: the only group of people that consists just of pedophiles is a group of pedophiles. not a racial group or nationality; not a sexual identity; not a fanbase, JUST pedophiles.

saying that every person in a specific group is a pedophile on the premise that you don't like them and needing a biting way to insult them is not only stupid and incorrect, it's pretty fucking dangerous-- and i don't feel like i need to explain why it's dangerous.

I absolutely want to make this clear:

You can choose to use a condom at any time. Any. Time. It doesn't matter if you've been raw-dog fucking for years. You have the right to say; "hey, we can have sex but only if we use a condom."

And if your partner refuses, you do not have to have sex. If the condom is a stipulation and condition of you two having sex and your partner refuses to agree to that term, they're refusing to have sex. Period.

There is no valid excuse to not use one if your partner has requested it.

(Also, you can use condoms for reasons other than birth control. They're convenient for less mess, they protect from sexually transmitted infections and diseases, and they provide peace of mind.)
