Im always scared to call someone my friend because what if they dont consider me a friend and hate me because of that

[finalgirlianthe]

why do so many people talk about nazi phases like they're a rite of passage and completely normal for everyone to have

[annabelle--cane]

I get that this is mostly a me thing but seeing so many posts making fun of "holy blood cannibalism pomegranate deer" style writing just makes me sad ;-; . guys that's a lot of people's first stab at poetry that's hobby art that's a vulnerable thing to post those are passion projects...

[annabelle--cane]

also this might be my bias as a vampire liker showing but. have you guys SEEN blood?

[wizardarchetypes]

the truth is if you're writing poetry just keep writing it no matter what people say because someone is going to say something SO mean no matter WHAT you write, and what you've written will still be 100% more impactful to the world than whatever they say about it. i recently saw my own like 7 year old tweet pop up on pinterest and it remains true

[fexalted]

[image description: two tweets by vampireapologist (@/mallaidhanne).

the first reads: "Hate how much we make fun of melodramatic poetry in this day & age. Ur not better than any 16 year old pouring their heart out on tumblr just bc you refuse to embrace the mortifying ordeal that is the spectrum of human emotions and passion and yearning like the rest of us".

the second reads: "Anyway my point is that any person who writes a dramatic poem, a sappy song, paints or dances or sings, no matter how "good" the end result is, has done something infinitely more valuable than the people who make fun of them. Enough callousness. Try giving something to the world."]

you know what actually pisses me off? when I finally start to feel a smidge of confidence in my writing ability and then some JERK POSTS A SINGLE LINE FROM A TERRY PRATCHETT NOVEL AND IT’S BETTER THAN ANYTHING I WILL EVER WRITE NO MATTER HOW MANY MILLENNIA I SPEND TRYING!

[thebaconsandwichofregret]

Terry was a professional writer from the age of 17. He worked as a journalist which meant that he had to learn to research, write and edit his own work very quickly or else he’d lose his job.

He was 23 when his first novel was published. After six years of writing professionally every single day. The Carpet People was a lovely novel, from a lovely writer, but almost all of Terry’s iconic truth bomb lines come from Discworld.

The Colour of Magic, the first ever Discworld novel was published in 1983. Terry was 35 years old. He had been writing professionally for 18 years. His career was old enough to vote, get married and drink. We now know that at 35 he was, tragically, over half way through his life. And do you know what us devoted, adoring Discworld fans say about The Colour of Magic? “Don’t start with Colour of Magic.”

It is the only reading order rule we ever give people. Because it’s not that great. Don’t get me wrong, very good book, although I’ll be honest I’ve never been able to finish it, but it’s nowhere near his later stuff. Compare it to Guards Guards, The Fifth Elephant, the utterly iconic Nightwatch and it pales in comparison because even after nearly 20 years of writing, half a lifetime of loving books and storytelling Terry was still learning.

He was a man with a wonderful natural talent, yes. But more importantly he worked and worked and worked to be a better writer. He was writing up until days before he died.  He spent 49 years learning and growing as a writer, taking so much joy in storytelling that not even Alzheimer’s could steal it from him. He wouldn’t want that joy stolen from you too.

Terry was a wonderful, kind, compassionate, genius of a writer. And all of this was in spite of many many people telling him he wasn’t good enough. At the age of five his headmaster told him that he would never amount to anything. He died a knight of the realm and one of the most beloved writers ever to have lived in a country with a vast and rich literary tradition. He wouldn’t let anyone tell him that he wasn’t good enough. And he wouldn’t want you to think you aren’t good enough. He especially wouldn’t want to be the reason why you think you aren’t good enough. 

You’re not Terry Pratchett. 

You are you.

And Terry would love that. 

[rsfcommonplace]

I only ever had a chance to talk to Terry Pratchett once, and that was in an autograph line.  I’d bought a copy of The Carpet People, which was his very first book, and he looked at it with a faint air of concern.  “You realise that I wrote that when I was very young,” he said, in warning.

“Yes,” I said.  “But I like seeing how authors grow.”

He brightened and reached for his pen.  “That’s all right then,” he said, and signed.

Oops! Study Ordered by Utah Republicans Finds Gender-Affirming Care Benefits Trans Youth

Some state Republicans are already dismissing the findings.

Two years after being tasked with commissioning a review of medical evidence surrounding gender-affirming care for trans youth, Utah’s own state health department has concluded that trans healthcare bans “cannot be justified.” The Republicans who commissioned the study aren’t too happy about it.

Back in 2023, Utah Governor Spencer Cox signed a bill that placed an indefinite “moratorium” on doctors prescribing gender-affirming care like hormone therapy and puberty blockers to trans youth. That bill ordered the Utah Department of Health and Human Services to compile their report in order to produce recommendations for the state government on whether or not to lift the moratorium.

This week, the department delivered their long-awaited, over 1,000-page report — which is dated August 6, 2024 — to Utah lawmakers. The report’s authors found that “the consensus of the evidence supports that the treatments are effective in terms of mental health, psychosocial outcomes, and the induction of body changes consistent with the affirmed gender in pediatric GD [gender dysphoria] patients.”

The authors added that “the evidence also supports that the treatments are safe in terms of changes to bone density, cardiovascular risk factors, metabolic changes, and cancer.” Trans youth who had received gender-affirming care were within the bounds of normal, non-pathological ranges for these conditions.

y’all this is huge. please don’t “water is wet” all over it! I understand that we all already know this… The point is that the world doesn’t know or care or believe and so these studies really fucking matter!

Hello person having transgender thoughts but convinced they aren't trans because they don't have the requisite amount of dysphoria they think they need

Hi I transitioned without even thinking I had dysphoria. Like later in hindsight I can go "oh that's probably what it was" but for the first year of my transition I was straight up like "I like being a guy but I like being a girl WAY more" and you can do that!! There is no prerequisite amount of suffering needed to make yourself happier.

[punkitt-is-here]

Gonna include these tags cuz they're good

[bookhobbit]

why is “olde vampires in high school” the big thing and not “olde vampires in college”

everyone in college is eccentric. everyone

you wanna wear full on Victorian suit? the girl in pajamas who clearly hasn’t slept in three days supports you

everyone is too preoccupied to care as long as you’re polite and follow class etiquette

multiple high school diplomas? eh. same stuff. multiple BAs? Enjoy learning chemistry AND art history! All in detail!

wandering around campus at 3am? that’s just the lifestyle tm

no matter how old or young you look it’s not really that weird, there’s sixteen year olds and sixty year olds doing BAs somewhere

big schools are very anonymous so nobody’s gonna bother to hassle you

[dragon-in-a-fez]

consider: vampire PhD students and postdocs, because in addition to all of the above:

been at the same campus for 57 years? seems legit

[smallpwbbles]

I know he already said chapter 5 would be the last silly one but it scares me more that he’s really insistent in this newsletter that we are fucking in for it now.

Also what do you MEAN “one thing will be clarified whether we are ready or not” ? GIRL IM SCARED

[allthingswhumpyandangsty]

sometimes I’m reminded that there are still people who don’t know ao3 was literally created by incest shippers — and the site’s sole purpose is to 1. be completely against censorship and 2. host all kinds of dark, taboo fics that are banned on other platforms — and the first ever fic that was posted on ao3 was a fic about an incest ship from supernatural.

you are in the house that was created by freaks. for freaks (affectionate). every disgusting thing you can think of is rightfully allowed and welcomed on ao3, because they are exactly the reasons why ao3 was created in the first place.

ao3 was created because its creators got tired of censorship, they got tired of dark and taboo fics getting banned on pro-censorship platforms, and they wanted a place that was safe for ALL FICS THAT WERE DARK AND TABOO.

ao3’s main principle is being against censorship and being proship / profic.

there are some things in fiction that make me uncomfortable, but instead of shaming people who are just minding their own business and not harming anyone in real life, I choose to curate my own internet experience by blocking/muting what I don’t want to see. ao3 has excellent tagging system, so instead of being a bitch, use their tagging system properly and you won’t see the things you don’t want to see.

it’s your job to curate what you see. it’s not other people’s jobs or responsibilities to censor themselves for your personal comfort. the world does not revolve around you.

also you cannot censor “only the things you personally hate” without expecting everything else, that isn’t of conservative beliefs, to be censored too. because censorship is a slippery slope and a fascist tool. I promise you there are people who think “why do tags for queer love even exist on ao3? they’re grooming children”.

if you allow the things that you hate to be censored — because someone with enough power gets to control what other people can and cannot create/consume, it will not stop at the things that you hate.

I'm not satisfied enough about this drawing. I wanted to do a two comic panel but... Fuck it. I rather share a ugly drawing to see my progress than take my art too seriously, even if I want to be a professional artist. :)

So yeah this is two of my OCs Warren on the left and Diane. I struggle a lot drawing kisses it's one of my struggles in art.

[petz5]

you have to post about your ocs. even if you get zero notes. if your ocs are lame its even more imperative you post about them.

Telling a group of people who are historically harmed by misogyny that they

Should "Sit pretty and shut up"

Should be assaulted for what they're saying

Have no meaningful thoughts

Are only good for having sex with

Are only good for getting pregnant

Should be impregnated as a punishment

Only exist to serve others

Are being "bitchy" for being upset

Are making up the problems they're talking about

Are too stupid to talk about their own experiences

Must be exaggerating the extent of the treatment they face

And are too stupid to be in control of their own bodies

IS NOT FEMINISM!!!

You are repeating misogynistic rhetoric, and are a piece of shit.

You cannot be a feminist while using "bitch", "cunt", "whiny", and "hysterical", as insults.

And specifically targeting a marginalized group with hateful speech makes you a fucking bigot.
