Oh these are lovely! Posts about hilariously bad punctuation become depressing after a while. How joyful to celebrate the witty and masterful!
hey what's up with the "!" in fandoms? i.e. "fat!" just curious thaxxx <3
I have asked this myself in the past and never gotten an answer.
Maybe today will be the day we are both finally enlightened.
woodsgotweird said: man i just jumped on the bandwagon because i am a sheep. i have no idea where it came from and i ask myself this question all the time
Maybe someone made a typo and it just got out of hand?
I kinda feel like panic!at the disco started the whole exclamation point thing and then it caught on around the internet, but maybe they got it from somewhere else, IDK.
The world may never know…
Maybe it’s something mathematical?
I’ve been in fandom since *about* when Panic! formed and the adjective!character thing was already going strong, pretty sure it predates them.
It’s a way of referring to particular variations of (usually) a character — dark!Will, junkie!Sherlock, et cetera. I have suspected for a while that it originated from some archive system that didn’t accommodate spaces in its tags, so to make common interpretations/versions of the characters searchable, people started jamming the words together with an infix.
(Lately I’ve seen people use the ! notation when the suffix isn’t the full name, but is actually the second part of a common fandom portmanteau. This bothers me a lot but it happens, so it’s worth being aware of.)
“Bang paths” (! is called a “bang"when not used for emphasis) were the first addressing scheme for email, before modern automatic routing was set up. If you wanted to write a mail to the Steve here in Engineering, you just wrote “Steve” in the to: field and the computer sent it to the local account named Steve. But if it was Steve over in the physics department you wrote it to phys!Steve; the computer sent it to the “phys” computer, which sent it in turn to the Steve account. To get Steve in the Art department over at NYU, you wrote NYU!art!Steve- your computer sends it to the NYU gateway computer sends it to the “art” computer sends it to the Steve account. Etc. (“Bang"s were just chosen because they were on the keyboard, not too visually noisy, and not used for a huge lot already).
It became pretty standard jargon, as I understand, to disambiguate when writing to other humans. First phys!Steve vs the Steve right next to you, just like you were taking to the machine, then getting looser (as jargon does) to reference, say, bearded!Steve vs bald!Steve.
So I’m guessing alternate character version tags probably came from that.
Word for today: bang path
The use of exclamation points to distinguish between variations of a character or name
if you feel like you're faking unmasking because you're actively deciding to do/not do something... that is how you unmask on purpose. how else can you expect yourself to override a lifetime of social conditioning other than to go "no, actually, i think i will do what makes me feel happy and safe" and then try and figure out what makes you feel happy and safe... by doing?
you had a different life than the self you could have been - the self where this comes naturally. it's not fair, it's not right, it's not okay. but you will be okay. you are learning your truth. you are growing into a more confident you - the you who has faced what they have and decided to go against all the odds. be proud of yourself. be kind to yourself. the last thing you deserve is to judge yourself for healing.
One fallacy, I think, of anti piracy arguments is that a lot of them seem to assume that if I'm unable to pirate something I'm going to pay for it instead rather than going "oh! that's a terrible shame" and then quickly forgetting about it
"If you were not pirating [media] you'd be paying for it and therefore piracy is evil 😡" actually if I were not pirating that media I would be thinking about something else. I have made the decision to not spend any money on this and even god himself could not shake it
I've been saying for ages that this is what's wrong with the whole piracy discourse.
For people dunking on piracy, it seems like the choices are between accessing something legally or illegally. For me, an unemployed south american 20-something, the choices are between accessing something by pirating it, or not having access to it at all.
I pirate a book and it's "use your library!!", when "my library" doesn't even exist because every library in my hometown is linked to a school, and you can't borrow books if you're not a student or faculty member there. And there aren't any libraries in the whole ass country that lend ebooks or audiobooks.
I pirate a switch game and it's "wait until it's on discount or buy it digital!" when discount prices are STILL so fucking expensive for me because they're in US dollars, which I would make two (2) of an hour if I worked a minimum wage job, and digital games are the same price as physical ones.
I personally don't pirate movies/tv shows anymore bc me and my friends have created an ecosystem in which everyone pays for one single different streaming service and shares it with the rest, and even that is in risk of being taken away by companies that can't understand that choosing to do that instead of pirating is effort enough from us.
Let's play a game. I teleport you to my location and you find a functioning library. You can use google maps but it's so out of date that the only thing it'll do is confuse you more.
oh god the library counter-argument (or proposed solution, if we want to be nice) is the most infuriating one. literally on my knees begging: before you throw in "oh, just go to the library! :D" maybe just stop for a second and consider if libraries are even an accessible thing to the person.
some of us outright dont have libraries in our city/town/village/what have you. some of us have some kind of a library that barely function as one. some of us have libraries but their content and collection is heavily regulated by the govt. some of us, as mentioned above by ohmybookshelves, only have libraries strictly accessible to few. some of us only have one (1) functioning library in a city of millions that takes like hours to go there for most people excepting those in nearby districts (real).
libraries are good—sure. when they exist. when theyre functional. when theyre staffed with people who actually care about literature and media instead of civil servants who cant even ask where and what job they'd be stationed in, thus likelier to just do the very bare minimum unless they got lucky actually liking their appointed duty (real) (or YOU got lucky that they have a strong sense of responsibility lol). but "library" isnt some kind of a magical word that'll immediately solve all (or even some) of our problems, specifically when it comes to piracy and media accessibility.
just ... remember that other people and places exist? yknow? it's not all that hard, is it??

neurodivergent and queer people how are we feeling?
we are fully crying
hey do you guys know about the uncomfortably horny BDSM song cut from Disney’s Aladdin
no but I wanna
it’s called “Humiliate The Boy” and it’s just line after line of Jafar making it Weird™️
including the very real lyrics “oh, we’ll emasculate him slowly/all the better to enjoy/how delicious to humiliate the boy”
Disney why
Disney I can’t kinkshame fast enough to keep up with this shit
after learning Ursula’s character design was based on a (truly splendid) drag queen, I just sort of got lazy with assuming she would always be the most salacious disney villain.
but apparently Jafar is a dom with a thing for twinks & humiliation play so what do i know
I don’t think I’d call Ursula especially salacious–she makes jokes implying that men only want sex, and she moves like a theatre major at the grocery store with their friends, but I wouldn’t describe her as horny.
I guess Frollo has a whole song about how horny he is, and both Gaston and Jafar also have “marry the heroine but in an evil way” as motives.
Ursula is comfortable in her sexuality. Frollo is horny on main but trying to deny it. Gaston and, apparently, Jafar are horny period, with Gaston being mysoginistc and Jafar having a humiliation kink
Oh dear
ok someone do an alignment chart
I made an alignment chart because I needed something to occupy my time. no one but frollo is on the “conflicted” bar because no other disney villain is anything but 100% comfortable with their sexuality and that’s that about that. gaston is evilly sexy, not evilly horny, because the only person gaston is horny for is gaston.
also, did we NOT already know jafar was kinky? was the slave girl outfit and hypnokink not a huge giveaway?
I love tumblr coz where else would I read a serious analysis of Disney villains in terms of them being sexy/kinky/horny while listening to a very disturbing kinky Jafar song
someone replace “but conflicted” with “but a creep” and add scar and hades
Perfect

Tumblr is the only place where everyone in a group project pulls their weight
the “bad guys” in hallmark movies end up always being the most respectful men ever.
because they will find out their girlfriend of 3 years (that they were about to propose to) went off to a random farm in minnesota, hours away from were the two of them built a life together, and she decided to just… stay there without even consulting him.
and then he decides to take a trip to make sure she’s okay, because this is generally alarming behavior, and then sees that she literally fell in love with her ex within one (1) week- and he wasn’t there, but you can TELL that they’ve made out a couple times.
and then she just strings him along for a few days, until fucking christmas eve, when she just breaks up with him and is like “i know we used to have the same values, but i’ve never loved you. mark makes me happier than you ever did. and you ONLY care about work, whereas i like christmas and fun, like a Good Person.”
and then, after finding out his entire relationship was a lie and he had his life turned upside down in a week and he got dumped on christmas, this guy’s just like “ok yeah that makes sense. i only wish you the best of happiness with mark. i hope you guys build a great life together in christmastreefarmville. thank you for everything.”

@teashoesandhair your wish is my command :)
Probably, Levi should be more upset.
Probably he is still in shock. Right? He looks out of his taxi window (it's not technically a taxi, just some guy named Corey who offered him a ride to the airport, because Uber doesn't operate in fucking Tinyville, Bumfuck Middle-Of-Nowhere, Utah) and tracks water droplets racing each other down the glass, because of course it's raining, and his bad knee is killing him.
Levi sniffs and rubs at his eyes and then pulls out his phone and books a ticket back to New York, wincing as four hundred and twenty-six dollars are deducted from his bank account.
And, like, he should definitely be more upset.
He just got broken up with. He was engaged, for God's sake. A four-year relationship… over. Just like that.
Corey says, "Ten minutes to the station."
theres no way im letting you losers enjoy your antisemitism simulator.
i am aware of the problems. however. i would rather be comfy in my bed. good night.
hi here’s something i pointed out on twitter goodnight
