It don't always be how it do, but this do how it be.

See this is actually an amazing metaphor. Because just like with socialisation, I broadly know the basic rules of what each piece does. But that is absolutely not the same thing as actually knowing how to play chess.

I have a vague grasp of many of the fundamentals, nothing more.

idk if anyone else is like me, but for a long time after reading the Locked Tomb series, I had absolutely nothing else like it to scratch a similar itch.

Over the last 2 years I've found two other awesome books that give me a bit of the same feeling.

One is "Charon Docks at Daylight" by Zoe Reed. It's a HARDCORE enemies-to-lovers book. They're PROPER fucking enemies at first.

The other one was only released this year, it's "The First and Last Demon" by Hiyodori (although it's subheading of it being a romance is burying the lede a little- there is romance but it's definitely not a romance novel).

If anyone has any other suggestions I'd love to hear them 0u0

I'm more of a "do you think if I concentrated real hard I could make myself blink out of existence?" kinda girl myself :p

The heavens rumble with the anger of the gods, the sky is not obnoxiously bright and chipper, the rain patters on the roof calmingly. Exquisite.

I for one really enjoyed the Year of Mandated Introversion

I have no idea why anyone would ever think "hey you don't match my negative stereotypes about x" would be an ok and sensible thing to say, really with regards to anything, not just autism, sexuality etc.
