ultimately I think the place where I will never see eye to eye with the "you can do whatever you want forever" people is in the precision of language. I do think it is genuinely important for words to have widely agreed upon definitions that are only flexible to the same degree that the rest of a given language is. a word whose definition is whatever suits the speakers preference and makes them the most comfortable doesn't have any real reason to exist and serves no linguistic function. i support anyone's desire to do whatever they want so long as it's not hurting anyone, but there are always going to be words that accurately describe what they're doing and ones that don't.

I don’t think we ought to normalize or justify bullying as a means to keep people from being annoying — a sentiment that in and of itself could make for a whole article’s worth of conversation — but I do think we should make a habit of politely but directly telling people “hey I didn’t like that”, “that wasn’t funny”, “you are mistaken”, and the like if it’s called for, and more importantly, you should be able to take a “that wasn’t funny” for instance without taking it personally, because protecting a polite harmony where no one can criticize each other, not even politely, is also really, really bad.

Btw when people say "if you want to be a writer you need to read a lot of books" that means bad books too. This applies to all creative mediums and also even if you don't want to make it you should immerse yourself in some mediocre slop here and there and even abysmal dogshit on occasion. As a fan of the medium. If all you eat is perfect A5 wagyu prepared by a Michelen star chef youre gonna end up thinking a well cooked and seasoned grocery store ribeye is basically dog food and this is the path to spiritual rot

[rimonoroni2]

my general opinion on what people should be "allowed" to portray and what topics they should be "allowed" to explore in fiction is that you can make whatever art with whatever themes you want but i'm also allowed to think the way you handled it was tasteless and should've been done differently. my negative opinion on your handling of sensitive topics is the price of admission for publicly showcasing your work. this is not a pro-censorship stance because i am not The Government

Alright, you know what? You’ve just been Isekai’d into the 5E D&D world! Spin this Wheel to find out your Class and, to make it more interesting, your Subclass!

How are you feeling?

HELL YEAH THIS IS THE BEST THING THAT EVER HAPPENED TO ME

This class is perfect for me! (complimentary)

This is pretty cool!

Not bad but… could better

Some parts of this are GREAT and some are TERRIBLE and it kinda evens out

I mean, I’m pretty sure I’m gonna die but at least I’ll be cool as hell

Well, I’m gonna hate being this Class but at least I’m gonna survive

I feel utterly indifferent about my Class

This class is perfect for me… (derogatory)

This isn’t good for me, but… could be worse

Yeah, this sucks

OH MY GOD THIS IS HORRIBLE I AM GONNA BE MISERABLE AND THAN I’LL DIE

Can you play an instrument? (Any skill level)

Yes (which one? 👀)

No

Nuance (up to interpretation)

Voting ended onApr 2

I’m just curious how many people at some point in their lives have played/learned to play an instrument of any kind.

I included a nuance button bc I know there might be some folks who might be like “well I played the recorder in grade school but idk if that counts” — count it if you want or hit nuance if you’re unsure! 😊

To be clear, if you studied an instrument to any level of proficiency, even if you’re out of practice now, please select yes!

Reblog with your instrument, if you wish 🙏🏼 Or just for more accurate results

[cyber-punk-rock]

Boosting again! I’ve been enjoying reading everyone’s responses so far, it brings me joy to see music has reached so many lives!! 😊🫶🏼

WHAT ARE YALL READING RN you must tell me

[tlirsgender]

Did you know nonbinary people who were afab and nonbinary people who were amab can have the same genders

[tlirsgender]

Kind of the fucking idea that nonbinary people aren't their assigned sexes, innit

[tlirsgender]

Enforcing the idea that nonbinary people are cisgender women wearing jeans is directly harmful not only in that it's invalidating to nonbinary people afab but because it makes people who were amab think they can't be nonbinary at all, or at least not in the same way as people afab. Which is so fucking disheartening to see. This is not to deny the unique challenges of transfeminized nonbinary people but to draw attention to them; this phenomenon is an effect of transmisogyny

[tlirsgender]

Hey this addition is pretty important context for what I mean btw. Reblog my transfeminism, they

i think guinan as a character isn’t popular enough. i mean. she’s cool. she has knowledge of the ancient past. she’s wise. she’s whimsical. she has awesome outfits. she could probably beat everyone on the ship in a fistfight. she knows how to deal with literally everyone. she’s open minded. she’s always calm. she speaks in whimsical metaphors and riddles. she embraces her inner child. she’s Deep and Mysterious. she’s playful. she’s infuriating. she’s literally the best guys why does no one talk about her.

I don't want my cellphone to have AI I want it to have 3 days of battery time. I don't want my computer to have AI preinstalled I want it to have seven usb ports and high ram at affordable price. I don't want my games to have AI built levels I want them to be so optimized I could run them on a nokia.

okay so we all understand that sexual attraction doesn't always lead to sex. are we ready to consider that romantic attraction doesn't always lead to romance.

[saveyourhelplessspite]

and i dont mean this in a "its for your own good we dont date" way, or a "they got turned down and are still friends" way, i mean it in a "there is romantic attraction present but the one experiencing it doesnt want to do anything with it" way. am i making sense. are you hearing the words im saying. it wont fucking kill you if you dont act on it. like obviously you should probably communicate it someday but you dont have to let it dictate you or consume you. its just a feeling.

[absolutelynotclassicusernam-blog]

Can I add that you don’t have to communicate it? If you need to personally, then by all means. But it’s also okay to just feel it as long as you feel it and then let it pass. Attraction comes in many flavors and sometimes it’s just something to feel inside yourself and that’s okay.

“you are not immune to propaganda” but specifically cop shows and courtroom dramas that portray acquiring evidence illegally and not executing basic rights as. like. somehow good things? the evil suspect exercising their right to remain silent is always guilty obviously and the valiant cop that broke into someone’s house or hacked into someone’s personal laptop is always the heralded hero of justice. like girl. your humanity.

I'm serious when I say we gotta give Temmie Chang half the credit for Making Undertale (and Deltarune)

She's got an animation degree, I know the art in Undertale gets underappreciated sometimes because it's trying to evoke an older simpler style, but the art in Undertale is legit amazing and without Temmie, none of Toby's ideas would have been able to be realized (without finding some other artist and animator)

She deserves more flowers for being the one who made the vast majority of the art assets for an entire game that is one of the most commonly cited games as an influence on others (her style is so beloved and recognizeable, there's a fully complete Undertale fangame emulating it)
