starting to hear more and more people say they "wouldn't know what to do without chatgpt", and in my head I tell them without chatgpt, they would probably be using their own brains as god intended

fanfic isn't an act of activism by the way. it's a fun hobby. writers write whatever they want for themselves as their silly little getaway/self-care. if you want "more representation" of something in fanfics, then you write fanfics about that thing you want. nobody is stopping you. but saying other fanfic writers as a whole are "the problem" or are "to blame" for "not including xyz" or "not writing about xyz" just isn't how fanfics and hobbies work.
unironically love the phrase “but I’m being so brave about it” because truly, like, what other choice do we have in this wretched existence? what a beautiful way to remind yourself to keep going, even if only out of spite
sick, nauseous, retching at how corporate interests demand all technological advancement must come at the cost of choice and consent, must be forcefed to the uncooperative consumer. a digital menu would be useful?

sorry, ahaha, my doctor recently prescribed me with niceness personality disorder. its where i'm like, really nice and cute and sweet, and everyone, like, [swishes hair dramatically] falls in love with me, or whatever, yeah, it's like... like i don't blame you at all for wanting me so desperately, i'm basically like, an exceptional individual, or whatever, my doctor literally said it, soooooo... yeaaaahhh.. this is part where you start worshipping me
Figured this one would be a hit with the aros.
Everything is so annoying lately me included
shout out to sluts, you're unironically the coolest and most interesting people i've ever met and i love you
every slut i know has like 50 hobbies and excellent politics and they radiate joy. everyone who uses slut as a perjorative just wants to talk about apps and products. you'd think i'm being reductive to help this post flow better but it's literally 100% true with zero exceptions.
(wokely) being attractive makes you a better person
hey boss OP didn't say anything about being attractive. I think you maybe need to reconsider some of your assumptions here.
God sometimes I'm writing smut and I'll like, delete a sentence because I'm like, no, I can't write that. It's too indulgent. And then it's like. Girl, what the fuck are you even going to the candy store for if you're just going to buy raisins. Get real.
"what the fuck are you even going to the candy store for if you're just going to buy raisins" is honestly the thing I needed to hear today
we got a fax at work from “Omega OBGYN” and for a moment, i was living in a parallel universe
can you imagine how i felt when i picked up this fax and read it on a tuesday morning before i had even one cup of coffee
i dont care about validity i care about my civil rights
“can you be trans without dysphoria” “can you be an aromantic lesbian” “can bisexuals only date one gender” i literally do not care. in what states and countries are we protected from discrimination.
crazy that this post is like two years old because in retrospect a lot of this frustration probably came from how all available “queer support” i had came from people with accepting families and all they wanted to hear was how valid and loved they were. which was nice and all for a bit until i realized there were no gender neutral bathrooms on campus and there was no easy way to mark “use this name out loud and on any paper that could be accessed by family, use this one” other putting you trust in a teacher who could (and did, in my case, several times) fuck it up and re-out you. it’s about how i couldnt tell anyone about my relationship without being afraid that it would get back home, and there would be nothing protecting me but trust. but yeah like sure man i’m a boy because i say i am and thats what matters!!! and thats all the time we have for today
There's so many horror games about having to try to weed out and deal with inhuman imposters, but I want one where the script is flipped. You are something inhuman, you are an imposter, and if you want to survive you have to blend into a world that is trying to hunt you down and destroy you. You aren't human, but you must masquerade as one and infiltrate their world, or you will die.
I actually think we need to start inverting more Horror premises/tropes.
Like "You have to venture into the scary insane asylum!" VS "You're a patient who was admitted by force to an asylum, and you are very clearly in real danger, but everyone is pretending that you're just deluded, and are essentially leaving you to die because they don't really see you as a person."
I feel like there's a lot of Horror tropes built off of the fear of the other, when in reality it's actually often the other who is in danger. Maybe we could start recognising that more.
Interesting how the first half of the post has picked up popularity while the second part, which perhaps clarifies the idea of the original post, hasn't.
It's been interesting to see what media people are recommending based on the first post alone. A lot of recommendations for games/franchises like World of Darkness, Carrion, Kill All Humans, Among Us, etc. It's interesting because these are games that put you into the shoes of the violent other that has to infiltrate, without actually challenging the idea that the other is a threat. They actually parrot the ideas of the other as violent.
Funnily enough, the people recommending the comedy game Octodad understand the post much better than most of the people recommending horror media. A few mentions of Am I Nima, which isn't finished yet but does look like it could be what I am describing, so brownie points to the people recommending that.
But everyone saying stuff like "This is just being Trans/Autistic/Etc" really gets it, like really really gets it. Horror always communicates the fears and anxieties of the people who create it, this post was basically: "What if instead of communicating the fear of the other, we communicated the fears of the others, which are actually vastly more legitimate than the dominant groups fear of the other. We should recognise that it is overwhelmingly the others who are the ones who actually suffer and die, all for the perceived "saftey" and "comfort" of the dominant group."
This idea is about transphobia, it is about ableism, about anti-imigrant rhetoric and white supremacy, about queerphobia, it's about all of it. It is horror from the perspective of minority groups. It is the twisting of a trope built upon reactionary fears and narratives in order to critique them, it is a direct allegory for all those experiences you are describing.
Overall, it's just interesting to see who gets it and who doesn't.
people talk about how we need to bring back "don't feed the trolls" rhetoric for modern internet ragebait and I agree but also I think the most useful thing from the Old Internet that I miss is LURKING
be a lurker. just read things and think about them without feeling the need to weigh in or call out or disseminate everything you encounter. it's so nice and so freeing and it's a good way to learn things.
I have frequently regretted getting involved in shit that didn't involve me online but you know what I've never regretted doing? Lurking. literally lurk moar
please just help me find this fic, I am losing my damn mind over this...
Hi! I am searching for a kiribaku fic, I believe it's a oneshot? In it, Kirishima, the sunshine that he is, is too popular with all of 1a that he doesn't really spend time with Bakugou (maybe even brushes off their hang outs for others??) which breaks baku since to him, Kirishima is His Only Friend. Anyway, Bakugou cries about it and there's a really big emphasis on him not feeling important enough, this idea of "Kirishima is so important to me, but I am not to him and I can't do anything to change that".
Kirishima finds Bakugou crying and tries to comfort him but Bakugou can't get over this feeling of not being as important to Kirishima as kiri is to him, they cuddle and maybe sleep together on Bakugous bed that night?? (literal sleeping together) anyways, towards the end others in 1a (maybe kaminari?) are trying to get Kirishima to come hang out with them, but then Kirishima decides to stay with Bakugou: because he wants Bakugou to see that he is important to him
It really put into words my own feelings of "Why am I not as important to others as they are to me" / "Why am I always left alone even though ppl claim to be my best friends" and I just really need that fic rn....
It really fucked me up in a good way and I need to find it, I've been trying.. For months but I just can't seem to find it and I am desperate. It was so well written and ughhhh.... Please, if you know this, could you leave me the link??
I think the biggest thing mascot horror things need to get a grip on is the reasonable balance of cute/creepy. The mascot in question needs to be cute enough to realistically be for children but scary enough to actually make for effective horror. Most games always lean too far in either direction and idk maybe it's just me but immersion with these kinds of games are important for me to actually find enjoyment in them.
Can anyone hear me
GUYS...
