You make soup in a big bowl. You serve it in a smaller bowl. And then you convey it, using a spoon, to your mouth. But what is the spoon? Simply a smaller bowl still

Not sure why it's a new trend among fic readers to assume if the fic has not been posted within the week it's inappropriate to comment on it, like the fic has to be hot out of the oven to give feedback for.

I got a comment on a fic that is less than a year old and it was mostly an apology for being a comment on an "old fic" and how late they were in commenting.

Just comment on the fic. Doesn't matter how old it is.

[mysteryteacup]

Fandom is not social media.

Fandom is not trends.

Fandom is a cross between a library and having a slumber party with your friends.

"Old" means nothing to fic.

Okay but imagine you're Eva Stratt

You've been waiting for literal decades to hear if that spaceship you sent out with three comatose astronauts (one of whom you kidnapped and drugged and wiped his memory to force him to go along) have figured out anything that could possibly help save the earth. The probes finally splash down and are successfully retrieved. Inside are canisters labeled "Taumoeba Farm"

The fuck is a "taumoeba"? you think, and very carefully hand it off to some scientists, because you're not some idiot that would unscrew a strange capsule from outer space in a nonsecure environment. That shit could be full of ammonia or toxic gases!

So, you boot up the video diary, hoping it will explain what to do, and, hey! It's your favorite little science guy (whom you kidapped and drugged and forced onto a suicide mission). He survived! At least for a while, since he's certainly dead now. The other two crew members did not survive. Oh dear. So it's up to this amnesiac scientist who can't fly a spaceship to save the planet. At least he hasn't remembered that he doesn't want to be there yet. Perhaps you should warn those scientists not to open the "taumoeba farm" in case this is the scientist's idea of revenge. But so far he seems to be doing well, figuring out the mission, locating the Petrova line...

"So, I met an alien."

And at this point you're really regretting giving him all those drugs, because they've clearly had some adverse affects. He's hallucinating. The Earth is doomed.

Your favorite science guy keeps going on about his new little alien buddy and puppet shows and clearly this is an elaborate delusion his brain has cooked up to keep him from facing the reality of slow, lonely death in space and—

"I have a new roommate"

Your favorite little science guy whom you led like a lamb to the slaughter is whispering and the alien has apparently invaded his spaceship and he doesn't seem nearly as alarmed by this as he should be if it were real. And then you hear a robotic voice answering him from offscreen and you think oh, Grace, you really programmed the ship's technology to feed into this delusion? You can't believe you're going to be court-marshaled and jailed because you did so many crimes just to get this scientist into space just for him to blow it all because he's so lonely that he made up an imaginary friend!

And then the camera pans and in the background you see—

Holy shit.

That's an alien.

That's an alien.

There is sentient life elsewhere in the galaxy. Humanity is not alone. Ryland Grace is apparently perfectly sane...

You barely have time to process this before the video ends and the next video diary starts up.

The alien is making the video diary.

What the fuck?!

He was as tall as he was tall, and his eyes were the color they were. To describe his hair one would say that he had some. His face had all the features you'd expect, and none of the ones you wouldn't. "There he is," people would often say of him, but only when he was there. And they were right.

Me: I just got FABULOUS news. Granted, the real news happened 10 days ago, and im just late to party, but still.

Friend: what news?

Me: Charlie kirk's mentor died 10 days ago in a pickleball accident. This is the guy that the leverage team based their "Gimmie a K Job" episode on. The one where they turn cheer into a sport. This guy made his money by risking the lives of millions of cheerleaders, and you know what our GOVERNMENT said about that? "If we turn cheer into a sport and force high schools to update their safety equipment, it'll have serious ramifications on his business, so we're not gonna do that."

Friend: ...a PICKLEBALL accident???

Me: man, I bet he's really wishing pickleball updated their safety standards or something right about now.

Friend: that is a SICK BURN, so kudos for that.

Hi! This is a rickroll. Please visit youtube dot com, type "never gonna give you up" in the search bar, then click on the first video that comes up. Thank you for your consideration.

imagine if doorways grew back like scabbed over with fresh drywall and you had to keep carving them back out with a jabsaw to keep the doorway clear etc

[cryptotheism]

Imagine if the membranes recoiled in pain every time you did this. Imagine if over time, some doorways became accustomed sensation. Imagine that very rarely, some even seemed to enjoy it.

[moonbeamdagger]

*sleepover host voice* imagine if you two went to sleep

[elodieunderglass]

Oh for gods sake kids it’s like piercing an ear - that’s why you put a doorframe in - you don’t hang a door in drywall, you gremlins. You frame the door. It’s like those gauges that people put in their ears - the hole stays. It won’t scab over with a doorframe in it. You’ve lived around doors you whole life, you little clowns. Lights out

Tumblr staff just terminated 3 of my friends

@analog-delight, @sapphireh3art, and @puppiesthoughtsgobrrrr, in the span of a few minutes.

They aren't even hiding it this time, they claimed no reason for the termination. "For any reason, or none at all."

Staff is transmisogynistic and is targetting trans women and their allies on purpose. They are all but admitting to this here.

[missstrogen]

By my count we're at 6 accounts (overwhelmingly transfems) terminated in the last ten minutes, most if not all with the same "For any reason, or none at all", bullshit justification.

Tumblr staff is currently running a banwave of trans women, terminating them without justification.

[missstrogen]

I've been told of more than ten more girls banned, in the same timeframe. @yay-bunnies was banned too.

I've been told that all followers of a now terminated blogs were banned, so it's safe to assume that someone on staff just went down the list of a tgirl's blog and banned all of them.

@staff is transmisogynistic and currently mass banning trans women. Make sure they never hear the end of it. Raise hell like yall did a few days ago. Staff is mass banning transfems without reason.

Thank you Leverage for being there for me in my shitty days

Also don't like that now if I add a comment in a reblog I'm not being an active community member, I'm not engaging and uplifting my fandom. I'm just taking that post from op. It's like I'm keeping my fandom corner for myself and not sharing with anyone. It's become a selfish act, not a community act

A really lovely community interaction has been turned into theft and it's so nasty. I love when people add comments to my posts and I love doing it for other people, but it's sour now
