a problem w existing in the 2020s is you'll just be getting on with things and then suddenly learn that the HP fandom has had some whole cultural phenomenon ending in a massive book deal and the movie rights being sold and the whole shebang and out of curiosity you go and look up the fic and its not even good.

[penny-anna]

as an aspiring author its best not to think too hard about the people getting *clenching teeth* seven figure book deals for writing mediocre HP fanfiction lest one starts rattling the bars of one's cage

[penny-anna]

99% of the time i live in a blissful world that's entirely moved on from HP and then i learn something like this and its as if the vast shadow of an underwater behemoth just passed beneath my tiny boat

People asking if this is about Alchemised. Yes but actually no. I just learned of this:

If you're not aware of how absurdly popular some of these fics are:

[beemovieerotica]

most braindead fanbase on planet earth lmao

So the UK will reroute a fucking Internet cable for a fake grave for a fake elf because a bunch of brain dead nerds through a pissy fit, and meanwhile real actual natives in the US are getting arrested for trying to keep oil sand pipelines from going through their actual graves, holy sites and unceded territory. Burn it all down.

[beemovieerotica]

oh it's worse, it's not an internet cable, it's a cable for distributing cleanly generated solar/wind electricity

[pocket-deer-belly]

this grave has a real life physical location and YOU 🫵 can destroy it

[inzaltsiknyam]

they routed the project and such that it's close to an actual Bronze Age burial site btw. so they're possibly disturbing REAL graves in order to not "disturb" a fictional character's "grave"

[becausegoodheroesdeservekidneys]

Yeah, this is in West Wales - Freshwater West in Pembrokeshire. Shit head tourists keep going there and littering it with fucking socks and painted pebbles. It's in a national park and is environmentally sensitive, so yes, please, do go and destroy the fucking thing

[deathlyfandoms]

There also needs to be a button for “this is the 5000th time I’ve read your fic because I’m having a horrible day and this is the only thing in the world that always brings me happiness.”

good news: there is!

Da die Bundesregierung Psychotherapie killen möchte, schlage ich folgende Alternative vor:

Setzt einfach zwei Leute mit (vermutetem) ADHS/Autismus/AuDHS in einen Raum. Wenn sie sich auf Anhieb gut verstehen gilt das als offizielle Diagnose.

You can survive your childhood and escape the horror of your parents by creating and existing solely in a rich inner world in which you contain all your thoughts and feelings and this will not have any effect on your relationships as an adult

Do you think there are any redpilled hard-right incels out there hooking up with each other to solve their mutual loneliness and blaming it on women refusing to fuck them. Like whether they’re gay or not is immaterial because they just go “uuuurgh men just have NEEDS, what are we SUPPOSED to do, WOMEN won’t fuck us, we Have to, it’s not GAY it’s NATURAL ALPHA INSTINCTS”. Like in Ancient Greece

[flannel-pup]

YES!!!! This is a huge part of groyper culture!!! They groom a set of their population into embracing femininity and being femboys so that the "straight men" can get their rocks off in something feminine enough! It's standard practice that these individuals making themselves available for the common good of the cause (the cause being "we hate women so much we cant satisfy our own heterosexuality") will wear their thigh-high socks and skirts and lingerie (and kawaii face masks, you don't wanna see her face and remember you're fucking a guy, that's gay) underneath heavy gear, like motorcycle track suits/helmets to maintain anonymity. These hidden femboys for misogyny are known as "Operators."

None of this is a joke. I'm so sorry to break this news to you.

As a feminist I am horrified but as a scholar I am fascinated
