Imagine being one of the parents for the kids in the Magic School Bus class. Getting those field trip permission slips home every single night.

Like what, another one? Doesn’t she teach? This just says Inside a Dog

A proposal

Sometimes, in fandom, we just want to write id-tastic fic that rolls around in tropes that might be viewed as problematic. But we don’t want to address the problematic side of things in this particular fanwork; we just want to roll around and wallow.

It is considered courteous to give readers a heads-up via use of AO3 tags. I propose a tag that signals that a given fanwork is for rolling around, not giving a measured evaluation of anything. The MCU has carved out a space for this sort of fic with the “HYDRA Trash Party” tag, for which I commend them. Trash Party is a bit too specific to cover all of the ground I’m thinking of here, though; I propose “Dead Dove: Do Not Eat.”

For those of you not familiar with Arrested Development, Michael Bluth finds a paper bag in the freezer labeled “Dead Dove: Do Not Eat.” He opens the bag, finds a dead dove, and reacts as follows:

[gif of a white man saying “I don’t know what I expected” in a deadpan manner]

The “Dead Dove: Do Not Eat” tag would essentially be a “what it says on the tin” metatag, indicating “you see the tropes and concepts tagged here? they are going to appear in this fic. exactly as said. there will not necessarily be any subversion, authorial commentary condemning problematic aspects, or meditation on potential harm. this fic contains dead dove. if you proceed, you should expect to encounter it.”

According to your logic it's ok to hope that the best team does not win because you personally dislike them for no reason! ok sure!

Yes, this is literally how being a fan of any sport ever works

I’m proud to identify as morosexual. I’m attracted to dumbasses and dumbasses exclusively. A guy asked me what the Spanish word for tortilla was once and now I dream of kissing him under the moonlight

tired: trading gauthier for drysdale sets back the flyers' rebuild because they need elite scoring talent

wired: trading gauthier for drysdale makes no inherent difference to the rebuild timeline because the flyers needed a good rightshot defenceman too

inspired: trading gauthier for drysdale speeds up the rebuild timeline because when trevor zegras forces his way to philly in two years it will not only bring elite scoring talent to the team but also finally stitch up the cosmic wound ripped in reality by the 2011 richards-carter trade, allowing the flyers to at last win another stanley cup

actually the best part of the new superman movie is the fact that lois and clark have been dating for only three months because that means clark fell so hard he told her his whole ass secret identity in 90 days. fucking u-haul lesbian behavior.

hey you should ask your doctor about MAOIs. my SSRIs weren’t working so we tried those (i’m on nardil) and it did wonders for my mental health. just saying as a suggestion because based on the fact that you put the fucking onceler on my dashboard in 2022 the meds you take right now don’t work

WHAT

what if you were hungover as fuck (insta caption 🕶️ x Advil) in a ski lift in Aspen after celebrating your buddies true love wedding. and you posted the no pap photos of your buddy looking much cooler than he is as the cover photo of your Instagram post. Only to post a very romantic photo from your private collection of you slumped on his shoulder three years later to signify your reunion. what if he was smiling like he loved you best

extremely funny to me that harley quinns real name is apparently harleen quinzel, a name that sounds less real that harley quinn. they should do that with more comic characters. batman real name batthew manning. daredevil real name darius devilson. doctor strange real name. well okay that one doesnt count.

[haunting-kind-of-high]
