chuck nbc is so funny because chuck is living in a high suspense spy movie surrounded by tall beautiful people both at home and on the job where the worst thing ever happens to him every day and then he goes to his day job at the buymore and everyone there is living in a sitcom/workplace comedy full of weird little gremlins and subway commercials who think chuck is the most normal guy there
scariest thing is when you're a kid in a huge family run by women and then you go over to a house that's deeply patriarchal & misogynistic. i remember when i was 8 years old and i got invited over to my friend's house for a big birthday party with her entire extended family. after the enormous lunch that served over 30 people, i got called into the kitchen to do literally hundreds of dishes, alongside all the other little girls and women. not only were the boys our age all excused from the meal to go play, but all the grown men went to the living room to watch sports together and drink. i couldn't believe it. i asked why some of the grownups were watching TV but the girls had to clean up and all the women just laughed and laughed at me.
as a teenager when i learned the word "sexist" and used it the older women balked at it and tried to convince me this arrangement was a good thing actually because women need space from men, and cleaning in the kitchen after parties is a sacred domain of safety. and i was like actually i think needing private safety from your own husbands, sons, and brothers sounds even worse. like do you understand you somehow made this even more troubling than it already was
like i think it's fine if a bunch of sister-in-laws/wives want time together without their husbands & brothers to talk together in camaraderie. i'm not judging that. obviously. but dare i ask why the women's meetup could only take place while doing manual labor for a nearby room full of men
it's also interesting how this ingrained rigid social structures in children bc i was mostly friends with boys at that age and in fact was at the birthday party of a friend who was a boy so i remember complaining to him at school that it was weird all the girls had to help clean up because i didn't know any of the other little girls so i felt really left out that i didn't get to hang out with my own friends for a chunk of the party and he and the other little boys were like "that's just the rules."
yeah growing up in the Appalachian bible belt I absolutely often saw this re-enforced by women.
since it’s pride month, throwback to this beautiful cover and this wholesome interaction between two icons
the more time passes the more insane i feel about how pjackk swung into my dms out of nowhere and started hitting on me for about a week
it was like messaging spamton
before someone screenshots this and posts it elsewhere this is me
PREV TRUTH NUKE
that poll going around of the guy who thought "people only eat tofu as a bit because they're deranged vegans" or whatever really crystalizes something that i have never been able to precisely say - which is "a nonzero fraction of people who start picky-eater discourse just happen to precisely hate those foods which are not from north america and refuse to introspect on this whatsoever"
In contrast some people say "there aren't any picky eaters in Asia 🙄" but this is laughably untrue. I have a cousin in India who refused until his 20s to eat anything in a sauce. as you can imagine in India this was difficult. he basically had to pick things out of curry and wipe them dry
a brief history of the white collar/dc crossover
i was talking about this on my other server and thought i'd share it here!
basically from 2015-2020, quinis was the one who carried the fandom. she had written most of the fics from that time, though there were some scattered through the years, not as consistently as her. she was the one who really coined the whole neal caffrey is dick grayson thing and also neal is bryce larkin AND dick grayson
in 2020, BabyGenius started writing for the fandom, writing the 10 fic series "A Bat in A White Collar," a quick burst of new fics for what was a pretty nonexistent fandom. then elijay, CastIntoFlames, CheetahLeopard2 and Spnfandom8 started writing for the fandom, in late 2020, early 2021
onto my personal lore. i got into the fics through quinis's chuck crossovers and reached out to CheetahLeopard2 on tumblr when i was outlining my first fic. we became friends and ended up making the white collar/dc server. i began Cranking Out Fics and so did a lot of the aforemention renaissance writers (what we refer to this new wave of white collar/dc fics)
while this is happening, people are joining the server which was very passionate. something that especially added to how much content was being made was our prompts-for-taking channel where people were sharing prompts everyday and the writers were writing them, inspiring more prompts and more fics which brought new readers to the server. the server and fandom grew faster than any of us could ever imagine. and in just a year, had written over 1,000 fics for the odd crossover
i had also hosted White Collar/DC Week 2021 which had gotten over 200 fics written for it which made so many people curious about the, frankly, absurdly large burst of fics for such a strange crossover.
there were so many writers from that period who were so passionate about white collar/dc but it wasn't just about the writers. it was about the readers and the way we all encouraged each other and the stories we were creating.
there is now a wave of new writers and readers for the fandom who didn't even know there was a server and i find it so fascinating how it continues to live on and evolves with the new writers and readers. it makes me so happy to see something i personally and others had lost the love for live on in its own way.
me and my bf have been binging chuck this past week (the weird spy show from 2007 which haven't exactly aged perfectly but is still a fun watch ngl) and I still stand by what I've always thought since day one. bryce larkin as a character makes infinitely more sense if you read him as being an absolute simp, a total gonner for chuck. Like I'm talking so in love with him that it's embarrassing really. He ruined chuck's life and sacrificed their friendship, making chuck hate him for five years in order to protect him?🤨🤨Saying he's his "one friend in this world" and the only one he can trust despite not having talked since college?🤨🤨🤨 Chuck being the first one on his mind after waking up from the actual literal dead? Never for a second doubting his innate goodness and will to do the right thing in any situation?? Sounds to me like he's in tragic, unrequited gay love with his best friend, and yeah I'll die on this hill.
Do you ship it?
Chuck Bartowski/Bryce Larkin (Chuck)
I ship it!
Neutral
I don't ship it
I don't know the characters
reason under the cut, spoiler warning
No one was doing it like bryce larkin from chuck was. His BEST FRIEND was in danger of being recruited by the government and so he essentially ruined his life in order to protect him and years later when his own life is being ruined he sends the thing that ruined it to the one person he believes can be trusted with it.
Which of course puts his best friend in even more danger. Again.

alright I've got to do some quick math to explain attitudes towards AI to my boss.
we're looking to create an AI policy, and when we were talking about this, my boss (older millennial) was genuinely shocked to hear that younger people do not (seem) to view AI positively (a la the recent commencement speakers being booed)
please rb for larger sample size!
Question 1/3
What is your age, and do you feel AI is a net positive or net negative in our lives today?
under 18, AI is a net positive
under 18, AI is a net negative
18-29, AI is a net positive
18-29, AI is a net negative
30-45, AI is a net positive
30-45, AI is a net negative
46-60, AI is a net positive
46-60, AI is a net negative
over 60, AI is a net postive
over 60, AI is a net negative
Question 2/3
How often do you visit or interact with museums/archives (whether in person or online)?
Frequently (multiple times per month)
Often (multiple times per year)
Occasionally (a couple times per year)
Rarely (once every couple of years)
Never :(
Question 3/3
If you saw a museum was using AI in exhibits, marketing, research, etc., would you be more or less inclined to visit that museum?
under 18, more inclined
under 18, less inclined
18-29, more inclined
18-29, less inclined
30-45, more inclined
30-45, less inclined
46-60, more inclined
46-60, less inclined
over 60, more inclined
over 60, less inclined
Thank you for helping with this data collection. Please rb for as big a sample as possible!

Repost, now do your honors.
Trans people just existing is no more sexual than when cis people just exist.
I hate that the "x reader" or "x Y/N" style of fanfic has become sooooo popular, partially because it's just not for me and partially because they clog general non-fic related tags and those authors seem allergic to the "read more" function on this website, but ALSO because I believe that you should have to go through the trouble of creating an absolutely batshit self-insert character, with a backstory that makes no sense and a name that doesn't really gel with the aesthetics of the universe. Legolas and Aragorn should be in a love triangle with Kylie, the angsty sixteen year old half-human half-elf and inexplicable tenth member of the Fellowship. Do the WORK. If everyone was doing "Y/N" nonsense back in the day, there would be no Ebony Dark'ness Dementia Raven Way, or probably Bella Swan. These are important women. They deserve to be named, confusingly and with no regard for the fictional world they inhabit.
