The life and times of a legal adult

Multifandom but mainly RWBY, some writing, some essays pretty pictures, lots of love, and the occasional fanfic. She/her, username is the same on dreamwidth and discord. Will tag anything if you ask. Enjoy!

ohhhh i got what WHA reminds me of! Tamora Pierce's Circle of Magic books! craft-based magic, kids live together, learn magic and solve high-but-kid-level-stakes problems with the power of friendship and ingenuity. meanwhile they're minded by gay adults with more complicated problems going on in the background. checks out!

when i was a kid i was so mad all the time bc i thought someday i'd have to be somebody's wife i didn't know it was optional. is everybody reminding the young girls in their lives that it's optional.

AND SO IS BEING SOMEBODY'S MOTHER‼️

God, can you imagine someone from Finland (or wherever) heading to a Midwestern state fair and eating every variety of fried thing imaginable?

[lumiklovstad]

I can, and arguably I must.

I always think that sport events, especially international ones, are primarily about fun and cultural exchange and hanging out together; it gets lost sometimes when people pay too much attention to keeping scores, but joy and building bridges should be more important. So glad this seems to be happening right now!

I don’t follow soccer at all so I have no feelings on the World Cup, but I’m loving seeing people discover the US for the first time and finding joy here.

When I say the system is rigged, this is what I mean.

Apparently someone got their car stuck on the light rail tracks at Mt. Baker. For those unfamiliar this is 35 feet up in the air

First test flight of a flying car by Mazda partially a success

I feel like the Arizona license plate should take some place in our analysis of whatever in the goddam fuck we’re looking at here

[snommelp]

...that's a Utah plate

I do think "literally zero evidence indicates that gatekeeping medical transition does anything to prevent regret, but the harm done by gatekeeping is extensively documented" is a much stronger argument than "regret isn't real" cause there's always going to be some anecdote that puts you in a weak-looking rhetorical position for the latter, but the former is pretty unassailable.

we need to periodically remind everyone that a headline not including a person's name isn't an attempt to erase their identity from the narrative, it's just not good practice to put someone's name in a headline unless the reader can be expected to already know who they are

[hbmmaster]

"if you can say the name in the article why can't you say the name in the headline?" what do you think a headline is for

i think more robots should be disabled actually. robots whose bodies keep falling apart and need much more consistent repairs. robots whose bodily upkeep is hard and laborious and exhausting. robots who physically cant do things without help from another individual. robots who are imperfect and dont fit the bill of a flawless machine. i want more of this waiter please bring me more disabled robots

every time I see someone from outside australia (or inside australia tbh) say “everything in australia wants to kill you lol” I want to scream. you are buying into colonial narratives! you are reinforcing the construction of the “aussie battler”! you are ignoring the way first nations people have lived with the land for centuries! you are participating in the homogenisation of australia in your belief that this is a land that needs to be tamed! shut up shut up shut up

Fictional country: average fantasy

Fictional small town in the middle of nowhere in real country: par for the course in any genre

Fictional major city in real country: standard fair, but it's usually clearly based on a real city

Fictional suburb of real major city in real country: strange but I can see the application

Real major city in fictional country: Chicago can be anywhere you dream of

[aspiringwarriorlibrarian]

#what about real small town in fictional setting#woah what if we isekaied a whole town#isekai#surely someone's done that right

There's a book series called 1632 by Eric Flint where a town called Grantville, West Virginia (modeled nearly one-on-one to actual town Mannington, West Virginia, in the year 1999 when the book was written) gets suddenly transported into 1632 Germany and how the inhabitants deal with it.

[absolutejamer]

This opens up a whole paradigm of new and strange fiction. New York City gets put in napoleonic France. Vancouver island gets put in prehistoric Italy. The Vatican gets put in the Roman republic. Chicago gets put in 1875 Chicago.

[aspiringwarriorlibrarian]

There's actually a lot of those, which I found out after searching this more. They're called ISOTs, after Island on the Sea of Time, where Nantucket Island got sent to the Bronze Age.

[aspiringwarriorlibrarian]

Honestly my takeaway from "It was raining!" is not that Lestat has a more accurate memory than Louis, but that he's a lot further into denial that his memory is anything but perfect.

summerween aesthetics: spooky seaside

the vibe: there's something in the water, and the town won't close the beach.
