I guess I have to tell y'all this: I am thick. thembo supreme isn't just a cute name for myself. you gotta tell me things clearly or I will not know the thing. are we friends? tell me. you wanna kiss me? tell me. we've been flirting for months and you're in love with me?
@colealexart@DelReyBooks I love Laudna bc she continues Marisha's streak of incredible characters. Laudna didn't just walk through fire, she was forced to burn and came back still able to see the beauty in the world and wants the best for people. she gives me hope for my real life.
sometimes it feels like there's a pause button on things between depressive episodes. like as soon as the next one hits, it's like "ah yes, last time you were crying about that barista that led you on; shall we pick up there?"
and y'know maybe they didn't mean to lead me on, but choosing to tell me they are no longer romantically inclined right after I communicate that I'm about to go silent bc of a new wave of depression is still a shit move
