people I still want to stab over a decade later:

Creative Writing Professor at a former college: Welcome to creative writing! By the way, you will not write fantasy, ghost stories, pranormal, or science fiction in this class, as this is a creative writing course.”

[morgynleri]

What the ever loving fuck is with “creative” writing professors who think that speculative fiction of any stripe ISN’T CREATIVE?

[thebibliosphere]

I still remember my own creative writing teacher telling me this because he saw the Terry Pratchett book on my desk and got this smug smirk on his face like “aha, gotcha”. He had the nerve to pick it up and call it “popularist fiction”, like somehow being popular and easily accessible made it less inherent in intellectual value.

I had it in my back pack because I did my final thesis on the evolution of mythology and folk tails into fantasy and sci-fi and the societal importance of telling stories (before anyone asks, no I don’t have it, I lost it when I moved continents), and I used Terry Pratchett because there wasn’t a single humanitarian issue the man did not touch on.

Which I told him. And then he kind of floundered and went “ah, well but, it’s…well I mean it’s not exactly high brow”, like neither the fuck was Shakespeare or Dickens you self-important turnip. Dickens was literally selling his stories by the chapter. He was the popular author of his time. Shakespeare was too, he fucking made up words and phrases all the time because the language he needed to express himself didn’t exist in the way he needed it too.

Intellectual elitism is nothing more than a hold over from class warfare and the belief that only certain people should get to be truly educated. And it needs to be smashed.

Like, if you’re gonna be an adult who’s really into children’s media the least you can do is actually internalize all those themes of being a good and kind person

Satanic panic is so funny to me. Like okay, you’re a white Christian, so your religion dominates your culture and you have massive amounts of Christian privilege and white privelege, but you still wanna victimize yourself, so anything fun the kids are doin these days? Satanic. Pokemon is satanic. D&D is satanic. Video games. Harry Potter. Punk music. Literally everything fun!!! Like stop it Sharon we don’t care about your fucking bible!!!!

When your friends ask you how you’re doing and you’re low-key kind of a mess

Whoever named Jolee’s abilities in SWGoH truly understood his character and I appreciate that so much.

I love how this post implies that the metal music you hear in Doom isn’t from the game but actually emanates from Doomguy himself as he fights

yo whatever happened to gladiators n coliseums n shit? when did we decide that blood sports were bad? im tryna see two men kill each other on pay per view

[weeniebagel]

dont worry im a feminist id pay to see two women kill each other as well

[weeniebagel]

political correctness killed the gladiatorial arena and its disgusting. fucking millennials (400 AD)

[yiffmaster]

gladiators were actually very skilled and expensive to train (not to mention charismatic and popular), so they rarely fought to the death actually; it was more of a… ritualized theatrical combat

the modern equivalent you’re looking for is professional wrestling

[calliopecoyote]

Ok but when are professional wrestlers gonna be throwing nets and shit and using swords???

[yugirimistwalker]

what is a chair if not a modern day sword

[yiffmaster]

what is a table but a domestic net
