Everything Blog, The Place for Shit and Gold

Need one of these I've noticed so here it is.

This is literally QAnon conspiracy shit.

Do not ever let an anti tell you they're not the same thing as QAnons. Do not let them tell you they have no beyond-casual links to alt-right ideologies. They're outright spreading alt-right ideologies and conspiracies. You can't just scrape the serial number off and pretend it's something different. The Venn diagram is a circle.

Sometimes I really feel like I'm too old and too far into this mess, but it's not like this is intentional on my part.

Guess what? This isn't a new scare, this happened already before and it fucked over a guy's life. This might be some person coming up with shit on their own but it's completely possible they found the old shit from 2016/17 and thinks it's legit without context.

Can we just seriously not bring back pizzagate.

I don't feel emotionally up for explaining in detail so these two links are from searches on google that seem accurate to what I recall, warn, I can't remember if anyone died, but I know there was gun fire at innocents.

Question for proshippers: what was your introduction to the whole pro/antiship business?

For me, it was when I left a comment on a fanfic that I really enjoyed, only to have the comment deleted because I write smut. This led me down the rabbit hole of pro/antiship, and I was like "Well I'm against harassment and censorship, I don't believe fiction affects reality on a one-to-one basis, and I don't believe the fiction people create and consume are a direct reflection of their irl morality, so... I guess I'm a proshipper."

[blackheart-biohazards]

Self shipping community.

A year ago we started trying to get into the community only to discover that there was a harassment and witch hunt campaign against people who had F/Os who were in high school in canon.

Despite you know, most anime characters being in high school, if nothing else.

[callme-yah]

When I came back to tumblr on my main blog in, I think, 2018?

I kept seeing a load of 'Let people ship what they want EXCEPT PEDOPHILIA AND INCEST!' and it always confused me? Because??? It was all fiction???

And then I started hearing more about it and realised that the divide had become a Thing(tm)

[dynamiccove]

I keep meaning to answer this with my own experiences to get it off my back so here goes.

I can already feel people saying 'oh no' at me but, my introduction to this whole problem situation was in otherkind and system spaces. I kept rubbing up on it for a while without fully realizing until I was in the Alt.+.H server and someone was being an ass using the western definition of fujoshi

as a JFL I got confused and oh so innocently tried to correct and question what that definition was from and how it was factually inaccurate and some of the historical and explain the queer connections with it and oh boy

oh the fuck boy did I get in over my head and got talked down to like I was a fucking infant, the dog piling and the insistence by the mods of the server itself how 'that isn't what it means anymore it means this' sort of attitude to a word that isn't from their tongue, has an active community

and this was during a huge wave of anti 'tumblr.kin' (as the term was at the time) fighting of 'misusing words' so it was even more confusing and pissy.

and it was me venting about this mess to some friends on tumblr that made me fully and properly learning of anti-ship people and their ilk

And the reason I spent so much time not in English fandom until more recently where I've decided I miss what I had here and I WANT IT BACK

:

As I was typing the tags I remembered that one extra bullshit in the whole insisting fujoshi always meant it was they used the whole rotten = bad thing as in described it through English connotations of rotton and they literally wouldn't let me explain Japanese doesn't have that and not a single person ever let me have a chance ot type it was a true dogpile of message after message and I'm barely able to type up a single response before the message is off screen (on desktop) just the fuck still

Have you ever been to earth?

On earth, we use the word “burrito” to describe a tortilla filled with things you eat. Pretty simple stuff, and I’m surprised you at least got that part right. My burrito was, in fact, filled with food. In this, you and I agree and are friends. But this is also where my lifelong hatred begins for you and anyone else whose brain has been repeatedly scrubbed with the same mixture of bleach and Pop Rocks as yours has. Because that should have killed you, but left you around long enough to do what you did to me today. Let me explain:

You’re an idiot.

Let me further explain:

Burritos are eaten from one end to the other. So that means when you assemble a burrito with motherfucking ZONES of ingredients going that direction, you create a disgusting experience for the burrito’s end user. When you make a burrito, you should put the ingredients in layerslengthwise. That way, every bite has AT LEAST A FUCKING CHANCE of getting at least two types of ingredients, and there is little chance of becoming almost hopelessly trapped in a goddamned cilantro cavern.

Have you ever eaten one of the things you make all fucking day? You should try one. They are pretty good WHEN YOU ARE NOT WILLING YOURSELF THROUGH THE FUCKING EMPIRE OF SOUR CREAM ONLY TO END UP IN LETTUCE COUNTRY.

When you eat a burrito, you don’t stand it up and bite down on it lengthwise like a fucking Rancor. Humans can’t usually dislocate their jaws, and I’m not a fucking pelican. But you must think that’s how it’s done, since that would be THE ONLY FUCKING WAY to take a bite of your crapstrosity and have it taste like a burrito.

And guess what else, player? You probably can’t guess anything, because I’m pretty sure you’re just a mop with a hat on it that fell over and spilled some shit into a tortilla, but just in case, here’s what:

Humans also don’t eat burritos like fucking corn on the cob. Like a fucking typewriter from one end to the other a little at a time and then DING next line. But today I wish I had tried that. Because at least THEN I would be able to eat some rice, then beans, then be all like HEY BEANS I’LL BE RIGHT BACK JUST GOING OVER HERE TO THE GUACAMOLE FOR A SECOND.

Nope.

My experience was more like HEY BEANS IT’S JUST GOING TO BE YOU AND I FOR A MINUTE UNTIL I CAN FUCKING EXCAVATE THE RICE FROM BENEATH YOU BUT BY THEN YOU WILL BE A FADING MEMORY OH HEY I WAS WRONG I’M IN THE FUCKING CHEESEOSPHERE NOW RICE MUST BE NEXT I HOPE IT’S NOT ANOTHER FUCKING SALSA POCKET.

You built this thing like a fucking pack of LifeSavers.

And don’t even fucking think I’m about to open this shit up and re-engineer your nonsense 90 degrees. I ALREADY PUT A HOLE IN IT WITH MY FUCKING MOUTH. YEAH. THAT’S HOW I DISCOVERED YOU FUCKING SUCK AT LOOKING AT THINGS. I AM NOT GOING TO DO FUCKING TORTILLA ORIGAMI TO GET THIS SHIT BACK TOGETHER, ONLY TO END UP WITH A BURRITO THAT’S BEEN SHOT IN THE GUT AND IS BLEEDING YOUR INEPTITUDE.

What’s that? I should ask you to mix it up first next time? IS THIS JAMBA JUICE? I DON’T WANT TO DRINK MY FUCKING BURRITO THROUGH A BENDY STRAW, AND I DON’T WANT A PILE OF BURRITO SOUP IN A FLOUR CAN.

I just want a burrito.

In conclusion:

You’re the worst thing that has ever happened to the universe, you owe everyone everywhere an apology for this burritobomination, and I hope your babies look like monkeys.

UPDATE FOR EVERYONE WHO SAID “JUST EAT IT WITH A FORK”:

A fucking fork?

I DIDN’T ORDER THE FUCKING COBBURRITO SALAD.

If anyone ever handed me a burrito with a fork, THEY WOULD BE WEARING A BRAND NEW BURRITO HAT FROM MY FALL COLLECTION TEN SECONDS LATER.

That’s like buying a car and having them hand you a fucking wrench with the keys. Like YEAH WE KNOW THIS MOTHERFUCKER’S GOING TO EXPLODE AND BE SPREAD ACROSS EIGHT LANES AS SOON AS YOU HIT THE GAS, BUT SHIT, WE GAVE YOU A WRENCH, SO BE COOL.

Jesus already gave me two burrito forks. One at the end of each arm. They’re called fucking HANDS.

A fork. My god. I haven’t cried since I was six, but I’m fucking sobbing now.

People eat burritos with forks?

God is sorry he made us.

once again, read the business press. It's easy to lose hope sometimes but nothing reminds you how close we are to global class war as seeing the world through the eyes of a scared capitalist.

So this weekend I found myself chatting with an established comic writer, he asked me about my interest in the matter and I told him I ran a webcomic but before he could even respond I qualified it with;

“Well it’s a fan comic, I’m not a real comic creator.” He was appalled.

“What do you mean you’re not a real comic creator?” He demanded. “Do you have a comic?”

“Well yeah but its a fan comic its not a real-” He literally put his hand on my shoulder to stop me.

“You have a comic. You made a comic. You’re putting in the work. You’re a real comic creator.” He told me about how one of the people he works with on a comic started by writing Mass Effect fanfiction even. I’ve been thinking about that ever since.

I’ve thought about how many times I’ve heard myself and other say things like, “Oh, I’m a writer but I write fanfiction not like real writing.” And thats so bullshit, he was right. 

If you write you’re a writer, end of story.

[commander-hot-pants]

I’ve been thinking about this again lately, I’m not always happy with my work but I’ve put hundreds of hours into the comic and that’s not something a lot of people can claim.

Any mental health treatment that communicates “you are disordered and the world is normal, so success means integrating into those norms” has as its goal social control, not healing

[theliteraryarchitect]

I don’t know who needs to hear this but it’s okay for writing to be a HOBBY that you do because you enjoy, and that you don’t want to do when you’re not enjoying it. No one’s up in the business of knitters telling them they have to be willing to SUFFER and SWEAT or they’ll NEVER FINISH THAT SWEATER and they can’t expect good things to come to them. I don’t know why our current culture around writing is so intense, but I’m here to support your casual, relaxing writing habit. If people can glue pompoms together or knit a scarf or watch hours of streaming shows with their spare time there’s absolutely no reason writers can’t waste time writing just for pleasure, without any expectation that they’re going to Achieve something Amazing and Important or make a bunch of money or whatever.

as a person who is doing the tagging, I'm less concerned about your lack of participation and more concerned about the idea that I'm annoying you by tagging you.

[star-ocean-peahen]

as a person tagging others in tag games: tagging you means "i love you" and there is absolutely no pressure to respond

[doomstar]

You know what, fuck people who force writers to reveal their trauma in order to justify the stories they write. No consumer is owed an explanation for the content a creator creates, and no creator should feel obligated to draw from or admit to pain that may or may not be in their life in order to craft a work of fiction.

“I had an idea for a story” is all the justification you need to write one, and all anyone needs to let it be.
