A New Introduction (2024)
For those who are new to my blog, or those who haven’t talked to me in a while, here’s what I’d like to tell you about myself!
Username: alynnl
Nicknames: Lynn, ALynn, or “Sue” by some people
Pronouns: She/Her
Age: 30+ A Fandom Old still hanging around another day
At the end of the day, my thoughts on job hunting are that it's incredibly stupid how every fiber of our current socioeconomic structure is screaming that you MUST have a job and nothing else matters because you MUST be working and that's the only thing of true importance so never forget that you MUST have a job, and I'm like damn okay so I'd like a job, can I have one? And the answer is No
Representation—semi-implied, fanon, canon, or otherwise—is important because Ryland Grace makes me proud of being Aroace
KICK THE CAN!
Let’s play the biggest game of kick the can on the internet.
To kick the can, reblog it. I wanna see how long this can go on for.
the oldest reblogs for this post that i can find are from january 2nd of 2013. this can has been getting kicked around tumblr for almost 13½ years now
there should be a term for characters you personally don't care about but you defend them anyways because the way people treat them is really uncomfortable. like ok this is a very middle-of-the-road character for me but the fandom's either been super misogynistic, racist, etc. about them or harassed innocent people who try to genuinely explore that character warts and all, and i find that more annoying than the actual character.
the term should by 'my client', like you're a lawyer defending your client that you are completely indifferent to but you are obligated by your job (or your morals) to defend
Control moodboard
i am Thinkimg . about the Character. and listening to a Song. i a m sure this will not have repercussions
Be honest do you think your mental illness/mood disorder makes you more creative funny or interesting
Yes
No
Results
Luminous stars are never distant;
they sparkle from within.
Once you start noticing how the incapacity to handle discomfort affects how people live their lives it's actually pretty shocking how it ruins pretty much every conceivable aspect of existence. Interpersonal relationships, romantic and platonic. Career and education opportunities. Your politics Your willingness to go anywhere. The kind of food you eat. The kind of art you expose yourself to and your ability to read it. It's never just one thing, it touches everything, and once you notice it it's like suddenly being able to see germs or something. Just this horrific catastrophe people look at you askance for screaming about. As I grow older and see what became of my friends and peers who could not learn to handle discomfort, the more I'm like. This is a genuine societal issue
which of these things puts you off the most from a fic you otherwise would be interested in
no paragraph separation
creator chose not to use archive warnings
tags used as stream of consciousness text rather than clear and organizational
excessive notes
self-deprecating comments in tags and/or notes
a huge block of tags
not marked as complete yet
something in the kudos/comments/hits number or ratio (clarify in tags)
grammar issues
punctuation and capitalization issues
contradicting tags
other (clarify in tags)
Note: subjective reasons related to content do not apply in this scenario (such as ship preference, an au you don't like, a genre you're not into, etc.)
