Zoe, Prince Of Light

Have since determined Light. Jewish trans girl. 20. DM me for my new account and/or Discord if you wish.

[derseprinceoftbd]

In these trying times for the Fandom, I'd like to show off the final version of *my* rewrite of Homestuck; a list of the changes I would make (with illustrative page links), heavily inspired by the works of @thelifetimechannel, @meraki-sunset, @bladekindeyewear, and, to a lesser extent, @friendlybatteringram and @act8official. Credits are given for art linked within specifically created for it.

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1ICrfRlUmPIplKJcNyjkQ7xRioEbL-I9S9upsF878Bho/edit?usp=drivesdk

Featuring more God-Tiers, at least 6 trans characters, Karkat Doing Things, June Egbert, Ultimate Terezi, Cherub Lore rewrites, Eridan And Feferi Doing Things, Nepeta Being Perfect The Way She Is, more of an actual resolution for Hal, nothing known beyond the final threshold, and more. Approximated to end up at around 7515 pages.

A friendly reminder that the joint Worm Fandom+Rationalism movement has killed over 38,615 people, exactly one of whom was a landlord. This is genuinely the most evil force in the world today. A dangerous cult movement is rapidly gaining control of both American youth culture and the U.S. government.

[analytically]

uh, the Worm fandom and the LessWrong/SSC-type Rationalists killed 38,000 people? I would like to know more about this! I have my critiques of Rationalism but I was unaware they caused mass death. (I do know about the Zizian murders; I'm not sure how fair it is to blame the Worm fandom or Rationalism, but as far as I know that was, like, 10 people or fewer.)

[random-thought-depository]

Looking at the notes, I think they're blaming Rationalists/Lesswrongers/whatever you want to call the group for people killed by foreign aid cuts made by the Trump administration. Their chain of logic seems to be: the Rationalist subculture produced Thiel/NRx/HBD type creeps (as one branch of a politically diverse movement which also includes, like, very left-wing vegan anarchist trans women; a lot of the rationalist adjacents I know probably despise people like Peter Thiel and J.D. Vance about as much as your average leftblr blogger does) -> Thiel/NRx/HBD type creeps influenced the Trump administration to cut foreign aid -> therefore they feel the entire Rationalist subculture has a collective responsibility for all the deaths caused by that.

I think it's likely that Trump would have made those foreign aid cuts even in a world where Thiel/NRx type right-wing ideology didn't exist. The kind of high in-group preference that leads to a person wanting to cut foreign aid is a very common feature of right-wing psychology, rationalist-adjacent right-wingers aren't special for having it.

That's true, but they're also a crazy person saying something roughly equivalent to "liberalism, an ideology believed by the closely allied figures Hitler, Roosevelt, JFK, David Duke, Martin Luther King, and Roman von Ungern-Sternberg".

One day, in the world's most reputable illustrated dictionary, under the definitions of Disingenuous and Genocidal, the same image will appear, and it will be of you.

You speak of such diverse figures-Aella, Tom McCrae, JD Vance, Matthew Ysglesias, Scott Siskind, Curtis Yarvin, Ziz LaSota, Tor Parsons, Elon Musk, Eliezer Yudkowsky, Peter Thiel, yourself-as if any differences are truly meaningful. Himmler's paganistic esoterica was surely abhorrent to a man of science like Eichmann. Do you really think, with 50 million dead at their feet, 28 million through genocide, that mattered? You will have 14 million, assuming that you don't find some pretext to station troops in Malawi or Nepal and start getting rid of "undesirables" directly. I don't give a shit about your tyranny of small fucking differences.

still amazes me that by season 45 or whatever, Supernatural was being exclusively watched by delusionally hopeful women with flamingo-salinity tolerance for bad writing and the creators still couldn’t pander to them because maybe there was 1 straight guy out there still accidentally watching it

post: the way you write certain characters can reveal certain things about yourself and the way you view the world. for example, the way you treat your characters of color can correlate to how you view Black and brown people in real life.

addition: nope! stop fandom police! kill the cop inside your head! stop demonizing dark fiction! acab includes fandom police!

[derseprinceoftbd]

"Kill the cop inside your head" has always been the worst fucking phrase on earth.

Run defense for them, specifically downplaying Musk's involvement due to his carefully groomed left-adjacent audience.

just because someone can articulate their point better doesn’t make them right, it makes them articulated.

With all due respect, do you have a Reddit account

A little something I made with a friend

[jessaerys]

how do i say "horror novels these days are too woke" without sounding like a right winger. what i mean is: this one is about a woman serial killer who kills Bad Men, that one is about ~anticapitalist activists~, this one is ~queer~, that one is about *spins wheel* someone dealing with the ghosts of their immigrant roots, all of them are about intergenerational traumaaaaa. okay. cool. but is it good though. is it fucking scary

[jessaerys]

something something, losing the ability to convey horror through abstraction, through metaphor, through symbolism, through allegory, through raw unexamined un-psychiatrized feeling. if the real horror is.... dun dun dun! the patriarchy then i just feel preached to. don't use fiction as a vehicle for Saying Something About Society. write with total vulnerability and then see what it says. it will be probably be far more interesting and horrifying than what if the monster was uhh my mom's abuse or whatever. this brand of new horror writers are all so terrified of actually disclosing anything about themselves. it's like if an instagram infographic performance was a mediocre contemporary novel

The Material Basis for Cozy Horror

Last week, aging discourse site The Mary Sue latched on to a familiar piece of discourse. It is familiar because this issue has been bubblin

[captainjonnitkessler]

Guys, I'm gonna be honest with you. I don't think cops are spending their time sending anonymous asks to popular tumblr bloggers trying to entrap them into admitting that they are attending a perfectly legal, permitted public event with several million attendees for nefarious purposes.

In fact, I would go so far as to say that insisting that it's terrifyingly dangerous to admit to attending an event that was, in my location, 80% white-haired old ladies in walkers holding signs about how ICE agents are going to hell with zero police presence whatsoever, and that the feds are just waiting to snatch up anyone who attends a protest - that is, again, fully intended to be public and visible and attended by several million people - you are doing more to discourage people from resisting than any fed could ever hope to.

[captainjonnitkessler]

You can't keep parroting "don't comply in advance or else you're just ceding power to the fascists" and then also tell people not to talk about going to protests.

These are legal protests with permits by organizers that are working with cities and local police. We've already had No Kings protests with no local or federal crackdowns. Telling people that they should be scared and that they shouldn't talk about going to or take any photographs of a perfectly legal event for fear of reprisal is complying in advance.
