does anyone else kind of.. enjoy spoilers ?? like they’re sort of a relief because then I know whether or not something is worth investing in watching or reading or not

I’m not gonna be disappointed if it doesn’t turn out how I want plus I’m not going to fast forward and skip through large parts of it to find out what happens, which I’m embarrassed that I do I just don’t have the patience

Is that just a me thing or do other people do that too? Is that an adhd thing?

I just do way better watching things if I already know the entire synopsis and can predict kinda when things will happen like landmarks in a movie that help me through

Please tell me this is an actual thing and not just me

ok so recently i wanted to read a book to my niece, who just turned 7, that I thought she’d like. but it had some scary parts in it, that might be too much for her. she’s tough, but she’s sensitive too, like any kid her age.

so what did i do? I spoilered it. I said “hey this kid runs into some monsters that are gonna try to eat him, and then they chase him and it’s very suspenseful. You think that would be too scary?”

She considered it. “Do they eat him in the end?” she asked.

“No,” I said.

“Then no,” she said. And then, when we were about to hit the Big Reveal that this person who had helped him was secretly actually a man-eating monster, she lit up and was like “IS THIS WHEN IT HAPPENS” and I was like “SHH yes!” and she was like “AHH YEAH” and loved it.

I don’t think spoilers are just for kids, though. I’m now so Tired of conventional media’s endless race for The More Shocking Ending that I refuse to watch shit when I don’t know how it’s going to end. It’s not that I don’t have the emotional resilience to handle unexpected things (well, sometimes I don’t, honestly, and have no shame about that), it’s that if the unexpected thing is the “fuck you if you liked these characters ha ha ha!” plot twist, I just don’t have the time to invest in your fictional world. If you can’t respect me as an audience then I have other shit to do with my time.

Even my own writing– I dithered a bit in my latest series, which was going to hinge on a dead character being revealed to really be alive. I did my best to avoid spoilers as I was writing the thing, but now I’ve posted it and I figured, the thing to do is just to– tag it for the reveal. It’s not worth trying to be coy or people won’t know whether they want to read your shit.

Most of my friends HATE spoilers (which is hard for me because I don’t understand that), and sometimes they do this thing where they don’t understand that I… don’t, so they refuse to tell me things I want to know when I ask. Which is frustrating, because they know, and I want to know, and they want me to watch the thing, and I don’t want to watch the thing unless I know, but they don’t want to tell me. So I never watch the thing because I don’t know what will happen. It’s equally frustrating to try to get those same people to watch anything because they don’t want me to tell them anything, so I have no idea how to explain why they should watch something.

99.999% of the time, I like spoilers (and the rest of the time it won’t hurt me). I live to be told stories and I am the sort of person who will watch something I like 27,000 times BECAUSE I know what happens. Telling me what will happen is one of the best (and one of the ONLY) ways to entice me to watch new things.

my favorite suits from hslot asked by tpwkera

[bajo-el-mar-blog]

Reading about abusive men and the way they think. Very unsettling and an incredible book so far. Here are my very professional notes.

[imnotreallyherecheckagainlater]

what book is this?

[tehbewilderness]

This is from “Why Does He DO That” by Lundy Bancroft.

[chemicalheart-deactivated202009]

I’m so glad I’m seeing more and more Lundy Bancroft quotes on my dash because this book CHANGES THE LIVES OF ABUSE VICTIMS. The programs run for rehabilitating abusive men through the courts? Bancroft DESIGNED THEM. His programs are replicated ALL OVER THE WORLD. He literally wrote THE book on abuser rehabilitation.

[queen-mayhem]

Here’s a link to a pdf copy. If you haven’t read this book yet, read this book.

[appropriately-inappropriate]

Can we talk about how it seems like the entirety of the book is online on PDF, this making it accessible to anyone with an internet connection?

That is how we stop abuse.

We enable everyone to know what it looks like, so that when it happens, they can shut it down.

Arm yrself with knowledge!

[birkenth0t]

Changed my life, would reccomend.

[fuckyeahsexpositivity]

Reblogging for the PDF link.

[egodram]

Always reblogging because this isn’t just a partner abuse thing, this is a common abuse tactic PERIOD: Parents, siblings, bosses, general assholes, etc…

[hansbekhart]

Pretty sure I’ve reblogged this like eight times, don’t care.

[evilmarrypopins]

This book literally saved my life. If I hadn’t found it when I did I would still be with him.

Illustrator Imagines a World Where Gentle Giant Animals Live Among Humans

What if we lived in a world where giant cats and dogs roamed the earth?

[pomrania]

There’s even more pictures, from the second page of the link:

Never before have I so deeply wanted to live in the world of someone’s artwork. Those pictures with the human just burying their entire upper body in the floof, they speak to me on a spiritual level.

We’re 4 months into 2020 and it’s still January

[weaksorry]

do u ever think about how much you’ve changed in the past 2 years and ur just like, thank god.

[byecolonizer]

You also often need an address and bank account, it’s almost impossible for homeless people to ‘just get a job’.

people with serious medical conditions only work in crappy kitchens because usually there’s a cash option, and if they get paid on paper they’ll lose their state subsidized healthcare.

Which would mean that if they make too much money they’ll lose access to the medication keeping them alive.

Pretty cool system we have here
