I'm tagging this as a joke because it is really very funny to me, ok? But I'm also kinda serious.

Maybe it's just me, but it feels like cognitive behavioral therapy is not what people on ao3 mostly use cbt to stand for. So it will bring you very different readers, and there will be people who will filter your fic out by accident.

Just because it's hard to read tone over text: I'm not judging either of these. I know it's common in therapy spaces to shorten it to cbt.

Ok, fine, maybe I'm judging the therapy a little for how it gets pushed onto adhd and autistic kids

Edit: nope, it's not just me. I've clicked on the cbt tag, and it's parent tag is not the cognitive behavioral therapy

Edit 2: i was told to judge the therapy a lot, and that it also affects disabled people and people with chronic pain. I totally agree

Apparently i wrote

"We'll... fuck" instead of "Well... fuck"

and

"She sinned around" instead of "She spinned around"

Look, there is a "no beta" tag for a reason, ok?? 😭

Also, I'm sleep deprived

The idea is i nag at you to do pt, and you do so in return.

We come up with the days that work for both of us, and check in on those days.

We'll most likely be in different time zones (I'm CET), so we won't be able to do it at the same time, but we can still arrange the dates.

We can do this in reddit dms or Instagram, if you're comfortable sharing that.

I'm thinking we should also come up with a reward system that will depend on each other. Like I want to do pt 4 times a week, so for example if we combined do 6 pt sessions, we both get to go eat ice cream or something like that.

I don't have to know any private info about you outside of weather ot not you've done pt.

Look. I love omegaverse. A lot. And among other things, I also like it because when something unrealistic happens, I just go "well, duh, it's omegaverse!"

But when i read the alpha released over two pints of come in one go, I stared at my ceiling for like five min straight.

And then I googled how much a pint was because I was like "well, surely I'm mistaken". And I was. Because I thought it was 0.33l... But it's actually 473.1765 ml in the US, and 568.2613 ml in GB...

The poor guy already came twice! I really hope he gets to drink something soon or he'll die of dehydration.

Just want to make it clear I'm not complaining, the fic is very creative and nice! I'm reading it for the plot anyway, so I'm definitely gonna read the rest of it (and leave kudos, duh) 🩷🩷

So I've started thinking about this after an interaction with a mansplainer who wrote a few long paragraphs, that basically summed up to "not all men"

And my first thought was "we should start answering to this bullshit with 'we get it, you're not like other boys'"

But then... it's not exactly the same, is it?

Yeah, sure they are both kinds of 'pick me' behaviour, but...

When we say "I'm not like other girls," we mean to exclude ourselves from womanhood.

When they say "not all men," they exclude some (in their eyes) few 'evil' men from manhood.

When we do it, we feel alone. As if there is something wrong with the rest of women. When they do it, they feel united in their 'goodness', and see that there is something wrong with non men for daring to question their gender's behaviour.

We try to survive patriarchy by affiliating ourselves with the oppressors.

They try to pretend there are only few 'bad apples' among them.

I've just had this thought, so apologies for this not being flashed out or anything.

And I've only spoken on the experience of cis women here, because I have no clue how this affects all others. 🩷
