Some say the world will end in fire, some say ice

From what I've tasted of desire I hold with those who favor fire... But if I had to perish twice, I think I would know enough of hate... To say that for destruction, ice is also great and would suffice

the thing is, stephen king is generally pretty good at creating complex, well-rounded characters, which makes it all the more jarring when one of those characters abruptly comes out with what i'll term a "kingism". i don't know how best to define a kingism other than "you'll know it when you see it". it's the voice of the author intruding on the voice of the character, and in this case the voice of the author has a bad sense of humour and is ravenously, inexplicably horny

random example of a kingism aka "he would not fucking say that"

[beaft]

this too is a kingism

[beaft]

one of the hallmarks of a kingism is that when a character is being Horny On Main (or In Maine), they can never do it in a normal way. they have to come up with a sequence of words that nobody has ever said before in the history of the english language. here's another example:

I just googled this and… yes, it’s absolutely real.

And there are so many articles and videos and discussions. Like, the scientific community is buzzing about this.

So much research will have to be redone because the data was absolutely compromised, off by orders of magnitude, by using standard lab gloves.

The world is probably not horrifically contaminated by microplastics. Sterile laboratories, however, are contaminated by latex and nitrile gloves.

Thank God someone bothered to check.

I really like how the scientology speedrunning trend is developing, in this clip we see that the participants are

Not deterred by the closed door

Working as a group

Getting away at the end

These ideas were not all here from the beginning. They are genuinely gaining experience that can be applied elsewhere

Yet another new study debunked the basis for the anti-trans sports bans. It was never about sports but for creating legal avenues for exclusion and abjection. This is one of the largest analyses ever conducted, involving 52 studies and 6,485 trans people. Read the study here.

I do not agree with veganism as a moral standard. If it is your personal moral stance, that is fine. If you think humans eating meat is inherently immoral, I don’t want to deal with you, you’re hopeless. Vegan ideology behaves more like a sect of evangelical Christianity than a dietary choice.

[literallycrashingoutrn]

Veganism is better for the environment, but claiming that it's a morally superior choice ignores cultural and economic factors that make people eat animal products.

[byjove]

It is not inherently better for the environment. That is the thing. When you begin trying to explain that local, sustainably sourced animal protein is better for the environment than imported plant proteins that are farmed 3,500 miles away using slave labor, they start tuning you out. Down is better for the environment than polyester stuffing, leather is better for the environment than pleather. We should work on making animal agricultural practices more sustainable instead of trying to shame everyone into eating plant products that are also farmed unethically and unsustainably.

Yeah no I don't give a rat's ass about all of y'alls "it's my comfort pro-slavery pro-bullying racist antisemitic fatphobic cop mages book series 🥺" reasons for helping a billionaire terf cunt in her quest to oppress minorities.

"but I participate in fandom without giving her a cent" Giving a platform to whatever JKR creates possibly helps her even more than buying a lil gadget, since the more you platform her the more likely it is her stuff is seen by lots of people who will give her more and more money.

Y'all think the MCU movies got so famous just because? That Undertale turned into a phenomenon overnight? That Harry Potter itself reached so many people on its own? Fandom and word of mouth is what got this stuff in front of everyone's eyes. I can hardly believe anyone wouldn't realize that creating fandom around something helps that something become widespread and famous.

"but Harry Potter is already famous!" nice copout bro. Maybe it will get you to sleep at night but I personally don't give a fuck. If you platform any of the hogwash that put money into Rowling's fascist endeavors I am going to block you, I don't care if we're mutuals.

reading a romance novel where the protagonist feels the need to stop and inform that audience that it's okay for her, a 27 year old, to hook up with a 31 year old because despite the age difference both of their brains are fully developed. the Discourse really has done incalculable damage.
