I remember one time I got INSANELY high off of edibles while playing Among Us, and it quickly became apparent to the other players online. I forget how honestly but literally anything "sus" I did was ignored by everyone because I was so fucking high. I tested this theory by standing in front of a body and the person that actually reported it didn't even mention me. The funniest part was when I was trying to do wires, I kept fucking up over and over again, so I was just standing in front of wires for actual minutes trying to figure it out. A small crowd of players gathered around me to watch and would get mad every time someone reported a body or emergency meeting because "she's never going to get her tasks done if you keep interrupting them." I don't think anyone cared about winning at that point, they just wanted to see the high crew mate succeed in her tasks.

kinda feel bad for millennials who don’t know that Harry Potter is almost a hate symbol now. Imagine that happening to any other beloved childhood media

[mossdftba]

How do people not know?

[mifs]

a lot of millennials know only the bare surface level of it (jkr = transphobe = bad) but dont really know much further than that so theyre like Okay so its fine if you just pirate the books and dont buy merch! Its fine! Im still a ravenclaw though!

This is already over and I'm not Directly involved* but I also think it's prob important to mention that the full extend of JK Rowling's transphobia is really often EXTREMELY downplayed. Transphobia is a form of bigotry not treated with a lot of seriousness and very flagrant and often violent displays of transphobia are seen as "acceptable" or "normal" by enough people (moreso than a lot of other forms of bigotry I would argue; I seriously think "famous children's book author thinks homosexuality is a mental illness on par with pedophilia" would be treated WAY more seriously than "famous children's book author thinks transgenderism is a mental illness on par with pedophilia" because most people literally do think being trans is a mental illness) for JKR's transphobia to be reported on mostly as "the trans community Disagrees with some of JK Rowling's statements" in its most neutral state and "can you believe the crazy pronoun mob is trying to CANCEL Harry Potter just because of a GENERATIONAL DIVIDE?" in its most nefarious. The idea that JK Rowling "just said a few things wrong and didn't use totally up-to-date language" is STILL how most cis gays especially above a certain age think about "the JK Rowling drama". The actual reality, which is that JK Rowling has spent years and years of her life not only donating to anti-trans orgs, not only publishing thinkpieces about irreversible damage and tomboy extinction and rapists in women's bathrooms, but spending basically every day on Twitter arguing with pro-trans tweets with literally three views (not likes, views), just is not reported on by mainstream media outlets. Cis people continue to treat "the JK Rowling discourse" as crazy triggered snowflakes blowing a few out-of-context comments made years ago out of proportion because they hate Harry Potter/women/family values/etc., and not more akin to the "Kanye West said he loves Hitler and somehow basically nothing has happened to his career" type situation it actually is. I just don't know how "canceled" someone really is if they still own a fucking theme park. I feel confident in saying that there is not a single trans person on this Earth who is as influential and successful as JK Rowling continues to be.

TL;DR millennials and older still manage to "not know" about JK Rowling (and by extension Harry Potter, because unlike most other "canceled authors" JK Rowling has outright said that she considers any and all mildly positive engagement with her work to be a signal of support of her ideas about trans people; I need to emphasize that this is Not Common and also not the actions of someone who got taken out of context by the crazy woke mob) because transphobia is so undervalued as an actual serious force of bigotry that mainstream media does not report on JK Rowling as a very serious and devoted bigot, in perhaps the most extreme example of "only trans people are expected to care about and notice that this is happening"

I think many people are just not online enough to be aware. Probably most people have heard about some kind of controversy with her in passing, but most controversies with celebrities are a whole lot of nothing, so they assume the same.

Confession: I have a friend who likes to text me at like 4am when he’s had nightmares or he can’t sleep or he just needs a friend. He thinks I’m always awake at 4am but really I go to bed around 12am and I change his text-tone to the loudest one I have just so it wakes me up when he needs me.

[cryptv0id]

you’re the kind of friend everyone needs

I think that since its been a year since I made this post its time for an update. In the past year I’ve watched this post grow and grow, people I work with have told me about it as “this post I saw the other day” and they have no idea it’s my post. The person I wrote this about has even reblogged it. He is no longer texting me at 4am. Not because we no longer speak but because the nightmares have stopped. He and I both are in a much better place. Most often the only times he’s waking me up at 4am is when he’s pulling me closer to him while we sleep. He’s more than a friend now and I’m forever thankful to have him. Everyone messaged me saying he was lucky to have me but I think I was just as lucky to have him and I would do it all over.

Martha May Whovier is a hilarious character to me. She’s been thirsting after a literal monster man since she was a preteen, gets together with the guy who made that monster man’s life hell because he’s the goddamn mayor of her town and probably has the power to ruin her life if she refuses - probably having to suffer through THE WORST sex imaginable in the meantime - and the minute she sees her crush again after decades of him being a unhygienic hermit who’s basically her hometown’s answer to Bigfoot, she spends the entire evening having to fight the urge to let him stuff her Christmas stocking right there in the town square in front of her asshole boyfriend, Who-God, and everybody. She doesn’t faint when he goes on his rampage during the Whobalation because she’s shocked, she just climaxed from hours of fantasizing if it’s true what they say about green guys. And honestly, get it girl.

I talked with someone who works in book publishing, and they mentioned they get a lot of AI slop these days. I asked how they know what's human-written, and they said that there's one thing that will reveal AI slop without error, and that's the author not knowing their own creation.

A real author can talk about their story for hours. They love to elaborate every character, every twist, every detail. Because those existed in their head long before they ever made it to the paper. They were loved before they were written.

AI slop wasn't. It was just vomited into existence.

Someone who generates their story with AI will never bond with their story the way real writers do. That's why they may not know what to say when they're asked why did the character do this, or even remember the scene in the first place. It's something they read, not something they wrote. And to a writer, those are not the same.

There's a unique bond between the creator and the creation. If your writing doesn't come of you, you'll always lack that.

I keep hearing soon we won't be able to tell. And perhaps, in a superficial sense, that's true. But there is a difference. It's not em dashes or repeated words. It's whether the story was made by someone who loves it and cares about it.

If the writer's eyes light up when asked why did the character do that? and they start their very own Ted Talk about that specific scene...

then it's real.
