Reblog this and tell me what was your biggest crying over a piece of fiction. You can be vague if you don't want to spoil.

Sometimes I'll just be sitting in front of my computer writing and eating a perfectly good burrito, and my mind will just slam me with something like, "Haha wow I wish I had even half as much compassion for myself as I have for others." That shit is so disrespectful. I mean, my mind is correct, but c'mon, I just wanted to eat a burrito and write about a werewolf showing his werehyena girlfriend a cool crayfish he just found in the creek. Priorities, man.

many women are excited to get old and weird, but i have great news that it's fully possible to become weird now, before you get old. just imagine the heights of weirdness you will be able to reach in fifty years if you get started now. that's what I think

[cluckamok]

Also, a lot of you started out beautifully weird and had the weird punished out of you as a child, and you should be both angry and motivated about that. Reclaim the weirdness that is rightfully yours. Be weird as hell. Start today.

Digital de-aging is bad not just because it always looks creepy as fuck no matter how much money they pour into it, but because it deprives me of getting to see the fucking black magic of a) the casting director somehow finding someone who looks unnervingly like the original actor despite not being related at all and b) the actors completely convincing me that they are, in fact, the same person at different times in their life.

And occasionally, the amusement of sticking a bad wig and some makeup on the original actor and just demanding we accept they're a teenager now.

"Teen" Dexter lives rent free in my head. The show really went, "Yeah, we know, but you're gonna sit there and watch it anyway, aren't you?" And they were right.

Okay but why is every caterpillar a goddamn work of art? What do you mean that's not even its final form? Absurd.

Anime character's wife: *drinks a tainted potion, turns into a puddle of awful goo* Me, for some reason: "I wonder if you could paint with that. Like what if he bottled some of it up, and painted a portrait of her with it and hung it over his mantle. I bet looking at it would swiftly drive him to madness."

Devastated that things didn't go that way tbh.

In S1E3 of The Ancient Magus' Bride, when Chise gets snatched by the silver dragon, it demonstrated enough bite inhibition to carry her securely but also not cause harm in doing so, WHICH MEANS: that dragon clearly has perfected the retrieving breed "soft mouth." Now all I can think about is someone flinging crash test dummies across the yard to play fetch with it.

Yo, new euphemism for pussy in trashy smut novels just dropped. Thanks, Tractor Supply!

Okay but why does "vitamor" sound like some kind of designation in a poly relationship? I'd like to think this is the member of the polycule that reminds everyone to take their multivitamins.

If you're ever feeling like a failure, please consider that one time in college I fucked up cooking Success Rice. Success is in the brand name and I fucked it up, like ruined-a-pot bad. You're doing fine. 🫶

Imagine you're bird watching and think you just spotted a lifer, the California quail. But then you get a better look and it's just this guy:

Before Pride Month ends, I'm claiming Darth Maul as one of us. My argument to defend this stance is: "look at how he sits on the throne, that is a bisexual sitting position."

[cluckamok]

Happy Pride Month to "the way Mao from Code Geass claps," a queer icon.

Shut up, why are you that beautiful if you're going to spend all your time hiding in the dirt from me?

Sorry, that was disrespectful, you were not designed for my gaze. Carry on with your dirt-related endeavors.

Me discovering that Devil May Cry (Netflix 2025) has a 98% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes: "This is all because that god damn weasel fucked with the Large Hadron Collider, isn't it?"

My spouse has been referring to Roswaal L. Mathers as "Orochi-Moira" on account of his sinister androgyny and weird inflection (at least in the dub), and I don't know how much overlap there is fandom-wise between the three shows but I thought it was pretty clever.

I had a dream last night that my father, who has historically been very queerphobic but is trying to do better in his old age, sent me a gift for Pride Month. It was mustard yellow plaid overalls and the bib said "Make Your Main Character A Trans Man" in rainbow embroidery, and for some reason there was also an embroidered bushel of grain under the words. And it was delivered to the place I was dog-sitting by a carrion beetle the size of a sheep.
