walking into a fandom tag and leaving with 10 new users added to my block list

[apatheticfluorescence]

some hyper famous artists like Van Gogh transcend overratedness and become underrated because they're so normalized. Like I'll look at a van Gogh and I'm like wait this really is amazing you guys don't get it

[headspace-hotel]

Shakespeare is like this

[insufferablepirate]

Every time I see a Van Gogh that’s not one of his better known pieces it absolutely blows me away

Have you seen this shit my liege? smh unreal

Congratulations on the cat

Hearing about Book Drama wherein somebody's publisher or whoever pushes to market their book as romantasy because it's #marketable and then romantasy readers read it expecting it to be romantasy and are understandably shocked and confused when it's Not. On like a semi regular basis. And I'm starting to thuink maybe we should aim for people who would "actually want to read it" instead of "demographic that makes the most money for the publisher"

[tlirsgender]

Now, the "falsely advertised not-romantasy book" in question typically also has Other Problems making people Hate It. But. Yknow. Maybe the false advertising set it up for a Not So Good reception. I think we need to start hunting publishers for sport. This is not to say I am fond of Authors. Frankly the written word is of the devil

[tlirsgender]

New question: would it be funny if I started lying about my own work being romantasy. It is sff and technically involves relationships between characters. Scaring the hoes would almost certainly be detrimental to, like, everything. But it might be funny to call it that. Like saying Alien (1979) was a romcom

[tlirsgender]

Read my sci-fi horror """romantasy""" short story They Colonized Mars in which nothing bad happens (sic)

[ID: a screenshot of the itch.io page for They Colonized Mars. The blurb has been edited to read "His name is Atlas, and he is OK (thumbs up emoji)". The description "A Martian warehouse worker takes his surveillance bot out for drinks" is unchanged. /end ID]

[batmanisagatewaydrug]

@little-tiny-raccoon-hands and I have been lying about Rabbit Heart being a "cozy fantasy" and it certainly hasn't hurt our numbers. genre deception is okay when it's funny.

Everyone says @derinthescarletpescatarian 's writings are normal and maybe contain new adults, so it has to be true. Copy|Paste especially should be New Adult (a genre that apparently exists).

[derinthescarletpescatarian]

Good point! Copy|Paste contains so many new adults!

[autisticbisexualsokka]

Lies. I read it and it only contained one adult.

[derinthescarletpescatarian]

But she was new so many times

Found family? No I stole them fair and square

The Martian of course was part of the small but notable genre of movies 'people expend huge amounts of effort to rescue Matt Damon'. In Project Hail Mary we see a foundational entry in the inverse genre 'people expend huge amounts of effort to send Ryan Gosling away forever'. Excited to see where we send Ryan Gosling next.

You'd think in the modern day of the internet you could find an item of clothing no matter how obscure and yet...

I want: an orange long line v neck t-shirt that fits me, preferably in cotton though I am open to other fabrics that aren't plastic. What matters most is it isn't see through and doesn't make me want to claw my skin off when it gets hot.

I have been looking for one of these for over a fucking year on and off.

Today I figured fuck it. I'll buy a white long line v neck t-shirt in my size, in cotton, and some fucking orange dye.

I CAN FIND FUCKING ONE! A SINGLE PLACE I TRUST!!! With

✅ White

✅ Long line

✅ V neck

✅ Size 24

✅ Not see through

✅ Cotton

I'M GOING TO BITE

At least it's £7.50. I was fucking fully prepared to pay £15 in this economy :|

As a Greek, in response to the current controversy about Matt Damon being cast as Odysseus, I'd just like to share that one of the moments that changed my brain chemistry as a kid was reading a novelized version of the Odyssey and coming across the following description of Odysseus when Circe sees him for the first time and thinks he's hot: "his hair curled like a clematis and his eyes were very brown".

So may I present my own casting choice for Odysseus:

[plain-flavoured-english]

Excuse me???

[ruffboi-mags]

you are right and you should say it.

[instantduckninja]

Is this the face of a man who would put his own infant in front of a plow to avoid going to war?

Absolutely not

You know who would try that shit?

Is this the face of a man who would defy the very gods to get home to his wife?

You know who would defy the gods just to show he could get away with it?
