Last Book

I just started The Perfect Equation by Elizabeth Everett. It's math and fuck the patriarchy and romance so what else could you need

Last Song

The semester is back in full swing so it's been a lot of study playlists which I love fantasy/DnD vibes. My current go to is DnD Background Music by Cozy Universe https://open.spotify.com/playlist/32L0LSt2gR4MauMkaUl9dQ?si=3104fb7ac3104e44

Last Movie

Muppets Christmas Carol the greatest holiday movie ever made

Last Series

Does "Heated Rivalry" count as a series? Otherwise, "Dimension 20 Fantasy High: Freshman Year". If you want to cry laughing and have amazing DnD interactions in 90 minute episodes, that's the series for you.

Salty or Sweet

Sweet. I genuinely wish I lived above a Parisian bakery so I could just eat all of the goods. One of my favorite apartments was one when I lived in the Italian neighborhood of Boston, and I lived 4 doors down from the best bakery

Coffee or Tea

Coffee, black. Iced if I get it from somewhere, hot if I'm home mainly because I have a Keurig that's been with me through every move and I'm attached which is totally normal and not something that needs to be addressed in therapy.

Working On

Flowers in the Darkest Parts of You. My dear @starlightvld passed on some great writing wisdom a few months back, and I try to get a little bit done each day. I love that fic, I wish I had more faith in the earlier iterations, but I'm going to see it through.

Tagging if they'd like to join <3

Thanks for the tag @questforgalas!!!

(You are correct, The Muppets Christmas Carol is indeed the greatest holiday movie of all time)

Last Book

The last book I finished was The Reformatory by Tananarive Due but I'm currently reading Half of A Yellow Sun by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie. My reading has slowed down quite a lot since I started my new job (it's good but I'm so tired help) but I'm hoping to get through at least two books a month if I can.

Last Song

Dance Called America by Runrig (specifically from the Party on the Moor album which I was listening to on the bus)! Always going to go back to my favourite band of all time.

Last Movie

Cool Runnings which I only watched earlier this evening. One of my go-to films if I want to fill a couple of hours!

Last Series

Currently watching the second season of The Night Manager, but the last one I finished was a rewatch of Pride and Prejudice (the 1995 BBC adaptation).

Salty or Sweet

Sweet if it had to be just one. I can't really handle super sweet things anymore, and in some instances I do prefer savoury, but overall I think it has to be sweet.

Coffee or Tea

Coffee! I'm not really a tea fan, not because I hate it, I just never really got the hype lol. My top pick atm is a cappuccino, but vanilla iced lattes are my top choice when it's warm.

Working On

Forgive Me, I'm Sorry - a Sambucky fic I'm currently in the middle of writing. Once again, progress has slowed because I'm busier now, but I'm trying to do a bit every weekend. The motivation and ideas are still there!

[istillhaventpickedausername]

Last book

Murderbot: All systems red by Martha Wells was the last book I finished unless you want to count Usagi Yojimbo Daisho which is a graphic novel…

Last song

I’m sorry we lied by Blood Orange (the entire coastal grooves album is so good)

Last movie

Oooh I do not remember… maybe Thunderbolts?

Last series

Last series finished was Yaiba Samurai Legend, last series watched was To be Hero X

Salty or sweet

Depends on what I’m in the mood for but I’ll go w Sweet :)

Coffee or tea

Tea all the way

Working on

A lot tbh 🥲 but I’ll say learning to sew so I can make my cosplay for next yrs con

there’s this term i coined in my friendgroup i call “the charizard effect” and it can apply to anything and everything, but it was born from me explaining my feelings about the pokemon charizard. the term is basically about how overexposure to something be it by corporate shilling or fandom prominence drives me away from really enjoying something bc i’m exposed to it so much against my will i become tired of it. it came to me bc i was ranting about how tpci does not, and cannot stop reinventing charizard, and how it is popular and obtusely included in almost every region, merch, etc in every way possible and it’s highly commodified.

i dont dislike the pokemon charizard, in fact i really like its X form, but i am exposed to so much charizard in my pokemon consumption that i cant be bothered to care for it in any more than in passing. this applies to a bunch of other stuff i’d otherwise be ok with, but i always just call this aversion phenomena “the charizard effect”

[blxnc]

making this term has done numbers for me being able to concisely express how i feel abt something. like. its not charizard’s fault i feel this way, im sure i’d feel normal abt it if it was stripped of all this over commodification, but i cannot. hence the name

[thesilly-goose]

mood swings are hilarious because you’ll be like “everyone loves me for my neverending joy and whimsy i’m so happy and cheerful a—post cancelled turns out i want to kill myself”

[bebsi-cola]

the countermeasure to dehumanisation is not sexualisation. the countermeasure is to treat the other person with respect and dignity actually.

[bebsi-cola]

i don't care if you wanna fuck fat people or hairy people or trans people or the elderly or disabled people or whatever. can you treat them like human beings

Evergreen!👇🏾

Race isn’t mentioned in this post, but I’m sure it applies regardless. Take the screenshot in context to both that and the groups mentioned above.

[calciumcryptid]

I feel like a lot of people get "All Art is Political" confused with "All Art is made with Political Intentions" which is not the same.
