Setting Myself Up For Disappointment

They/Them. Artist and writer who never posts or updates anything ever. I'm here for the hyperfixations.

This comment was left on a post about making the most of the Libby app. "Excessive use of generous lending policies" is the most absurd phrase I've ever seen anyone use to discuss libraries.

"how is writing fanfic for the massive media franchise made by the Kill Trans People-inator 3000 a bad thing??? :(((" I swear some people lack an ability to think beyond basic media consumption.

sometimes you see Takes™ that make you go "mmmhmmm okay yeah i see we both interpreted that differently based on what the show gave us, but i see how you arrived at your ideas even if they're different from mine," and then sometimes you see Takes™ that make you go "brother what show did you even fucking watch"

a thing about me is i basically never notice a wig or other kind of hairpiece in tv/movies. it has to be party city territory for me to even twig it. people will complain about characters' wigs looking bad and i will nod along but there is like a 90% chance i did not notice for a second while watching. i consider this mostly a blessing.

Knitting! Nope gotta untangle string first

Crochet! After I untangle some string

Weaving - untangle lots of string

Cross stitch - hold up, string is tangled and I am full of rage

Sewing: string tangled into tiny knots of hatred

This is probably the most innocuous symptom coming from the rise of conservatism, but it is one that still boggles my mind.....

The amount of young people I see online who are wholly uncomfortable with cursing and foul language and turn it into a whole Thing.

I am something of an aspiring voice actor, and there is an audition I was looking into on TikTok where the character says "goddamn" one time, and I saw more than one comment from people asking if they can say something else because they themselves do not curse.

Fucking. Wild.

How does fanfic of Harry Potter support JKR? People should be allowed to write fanfiction whenever they want!

You are granting JK Rowling cultural capital and relevance. Write about literally anything else.

The fastest way to accomplish The Project is to cease being afraid of The Project. The Project cannot maim you. The Project cannot kill you. The Project is more afraid of you than you are of it. It is okay if The Project turns out differently from how it was in your head, and it is okay if it has flaws. You are capable of engaging with The Project.
