Why do you reblog your own fics so much?

Because someone might as well!? And look at this. Look. At. This.

Does this look right to you??

These are just the last three fics I wrote. I appreciate the likes, believe me I do, but you have to understand. Likes do nothing for content creators. It’s the reblogs. Because that’s how you find shit on your dashboard. Through reblogs. Not likes. This isn’t twitter or tiktok or instagram. This is a website that’s run by the reblog system.

Reblogging helps content creators put their stuff out there. Why do you think so many people stopped writing fanfic and creating beautiful fanart and edits? It’s because they put in hours of work and don’t get nearly enough notes for their masterpieces. Yes we do this because we enjoy it but like...some validation won’t hurt. A boost of confidence here and there might be all someone needs to finish whatever thing they started and left.

Anyway, I’m still going to reblog my shit...

[raewritesfiction]

I think I’m gonna restart blogging my own shit.

HI LET’S SHARE NICOLE’S WORDS ON THE SUBJECT! 

It has been literal years but every time I see Martin’s tweets posted somewhere and his word is shared as truth while her post is not shared it sort of reiterates the fact that we trust men to speak about feminism more than we believe women who experience it. 

Interesting, innit? https://medium.com/@nickyknacks/working-while-female-59a5de3ad266

[wiseacrewhimsy]

Reading her account of how their boss treated her blows me away. Men are so emboldened that they will literally admit to illegal discrimination casually and face no consequences.

[the-geek-cornucopia]

In all the years of seeing this post I’ve never seen a link to her side. Didn’t even know she’d written one.

[pluts04]

Adding screenshots of her post. His whole post is there without needing a link. Hers should be, too.

Also, she posted this is 2017! It’s fucking 2020 and I’ve seen his side of this for years, but it took 3 years for her side to make its way to my dash…

[titleknown]

Blogging this tweet because this explains SO MUCH about the mindset of pretty much all the folks I’ve known who’re against single-payer, it’s not even funny…

[hopesterling]

This….

This never occurred to me. Not once. That Americans are against Health Care because they think it actually costs tens of thousands of dollars for a broken arm, hundreds of thousands for a complicated birth, millions for cancer treatment.

Because they’ve never known anything different. The idea that a broken arm is only a couple hundred bucks; a complicated birth a couple thousand; cancer treatment only tens of thousands; all easily covered by existing tax structures.

[withasmoothroundstone]

This explains a lot.  And it’s a good example of what I was talking about in my post on scarcity being used to prop up ableism – always question the idea that a resource is genuinely scarce.  Even if it seems obvious that it is, quite often that’s the result of careful manipulation and misconceptions that you’re not even aware of.  

And never think you’re too smart to be fooled by that kind of thing, it doesn’t work like that.  Similarly, don’t think people who are fooled by something are stupid.  Nobody can have all the information about everything, and nobody has the time and energy to investigate and put together conscious conclusions about every piece of information they’re given.  It doesn’t take being stupid, or even just gullible, to believe something like this.

[lizardtitties]

I currently live in a country without free medical care and still, it’s enormously cheap compared to the USA. An American expat wrote a piece for our English language paper about how she paid more for parking at the hospital than giving birth to her baby that’s pretty interesting:

https://grapevine.is/mag/articles/2016/01/06/healthcare-in-iceland-vs-the-us-weve-got-it-so-good/

[thebibliosphere]

Yesterday I had to go to the hospital cause I injured my eye, I’m frankly dreading what the bill is going to be, but what made me balk was being told in the pharmacy that my insurance was denied for the antibiotic eye drops and it’d be over $100 out of pocket. So I didn’t get my eyedrops.

I’ve had these same drops before living in the UK. They cost me seven GBP.

It’s the exact same drug, same steroid, same strain of antibiotic. But somehow the US gets away with charging $100 for a generic non brand version of a drug which is easy to create and widely used. It’s downright robbery, but also a form of eugenics through poverty and class warfare. You keep the poor poor by making sure basic necessities remain unattainable and then you make it seem like the norm so no one fights it.

The rest of the world is not like this.

Eat the rich. Resist.

Why is no one talking about what happened in São Paulo yesterday?

The sky turned completely black around three in the afternoon partly because of smoke coming from the Amazon rainforest, WHICH IS 2300 KILOMETERS AWAY FROM THE CITY, where the government has greatly increased the amount of land being burned for profit. People are getting sick, animals are dying, native territory is being lost to the flames.

This is what the sky looked like in my city yesterday, in the early afternoon.

It got so dark so fast the city had to turn on the lamp posts and night lighting.

Please talk about this. Reblog this post, non-brazilians especially.

Keep reblogging this it’s shaming them into prolonging shows

[brianandthemays]

Sorry I have to say something about this. As someone in the film and TV field this makes sense. Shows are expensive to make, really expensive. And research has shown that people don’t watch shows as much after the first two seasons. AND writers and people don’t have the same good writing ideas either. So if they aren’t getting the money and the stories aren’t as good, there’s no reason to continue it.

It waste time and money which are two very important things in the film industry. And if you aren’t getting the money you need for it and it happens consistently so they aren’t going to waste the money.

There are times, like Stranger Things or Queer Eye, that have very popular followings (above average), then they’ll continue them. But otherwise it’s just not worth it. Or you get shows that go on too long (Supernatural, Doctor Who, etc) and they just don’t have the same depth as they did at the beginning of the show.

Do businesses have the right to tell them they’re not allowed to enter with guns? Because if I see that, I’m leaving the restaurant, club, store, whatever - without paying.

[bilt2tumble]

I remember a time, seems like back when people had sense, when just seeing somebody get out of their car in the parking lot with this type of weapon, automatically generated MULTIPLE 911 calls.

Because nobody knew what this person might be up to.

The general assumption, back then, was; if somebodies carrying a gun like this, their going to USE it. Today? People have gotten used to the idea that these idiots might be making some kind of, ‘2nd Amdment Political Statement’. Now it seems people are reluctant to call, willing to wait until/if shooting starts. Far too little. WAY too late.

No one but the man carrying this gun KNOWS WHAT HIS INTENTIONS ARE. No one CAN KNOW why he’s brought this Assault Rifle into a public space full of unwary and likely defenseless people. Until he either walks out of the shop w/o incident OR he unslings that gun and opens fire. We don’t know. We CAN’T know. Anyone aware of OTHER PEOPLE beyond THEMSELVES/Other peoples INTERESTS (up to and including NOT getting shot)? Anyone with any sense of Civic Responsibility, Social Boundaries, or Public Safety? Would. Not. Do. This. So you can already assume their judgement is impaired. DO NOT WAIT to find out how deep that impairment extends. The people who do this sort of thing have no interest/concern for YOUR safety, so you’re going to have to look after it yourself. Leave the establishment immediately- directly, don’t wait for the Cheque or your order to arrive. JUST. LEAVE. AND-

CALL

911

Call even if you know other people have done/are doing the same. Practice YOUR Civic Duty by notifying Authorities of a potentially EXTREMELY dangerous, public, situation, even if it overwhelms their call centers/dispatch. Don’t let Dispatch blow you off with ‘We already know/we know this guy/nothing we can do, it’s his Right’ You have a right to safety in a public spaces, You have NO IDEA what he intends, AND IT’S THEIR JOB TO ENFORCE/INSURE PUBLIC SAFETY. ‘Git yo ass down here and MANAGE this situation!!!’

Worried about walking out on your check? Don’t be. Again, you are CONCERNED FOR YOUR OWN SAFETY. In Open Carry States, business establishments can and do post signage stipulating that guns are NOT ALLOWED on premise. Those that do post this signage will understand why you left. Those that don’t? After calling 911, contact the store or it’s Franchise Office and ask WHY they don’t. Inform them that they can wait for you to come back & settle up AFTER this public threat has left the area. OR they can just deal with the loss of revenue from people leaving without paying BECAUSE THEY ALLOWED A MAN WITH AN ASSAULT RIFLE TO FREELY ENTER THEIR STORE. Suggest that they might wanna take any revenue loss up with HIM.

If this became the Standard Response to this kind of irresponsible and, frankly, infantile behavior? How long do you think it will go on before SOMBODY, Retailers, Police, Legislatetors, do SOMETHING about it?

And it’s WAY past time that something was.

[rockn-roll-cat-deactivated20211]

people will call the cops on a black kid washing his parents car in front of his own house (potentially putting that kid in a life threatening situation) and then turn around to question whether or not its okay to call the cops on a man with a fucking assault rifle walking in a store for a fucking pretzel (potentially saving multiple people from a life threatening situation) like why are our priorities so fucking skewed in america

[girl-debord]

if you are in high school and you follow me idc if you learn nothing else from me, but learn this: do not join the fucking military. they will promise you all sorts of things in exchange for joining their muder-system for a few years. do not listen to them. you won’t find a sense of purpose, you won’t find an adventure, you might not even get the money they promise you for college. if you survive, you’ll come back with blood on your hands, feeling just as aimless as before except knowing you’re a killer. the government will drop you like hot potatoes the second you are not useful to them, and you will be on your own with nothing but some ptsd and a more intimate understanding of the phrase “blood for oil.”

[lofijazz]

They also have a way of targeting POC as well as those who are in a family that isn’t doing well financially. Be wary of any and all recruiters.

[mens-rights-activia]

Read this thread if you wanna know what the military does to people

[thejusticethatissocial]

I also recommend the podcast What a Hell of a Way to Die, which is by two men who joined the military very young, (one of them was 17) and then became very leftist socialists after seeing it for what it really is. They cover a lot of topics like anti imperialism, military propaganda, fascism, and talk about all if it from a perspective I haven’t heard before.

They did an episode about this topic pretty recently, titled Recruiting 16-Year-Olds: Patriotic Child Grooming.

[radfemblack]

The military is another predatory system.

So it turns out one problem with the viewership on The Dragon Prince is that ATLA fans, when meeting Aaron Ehasz, often say they didn’t even know he was working on TDP.

Heck, the head writer on Avatar: The Last Airbender has co-created a show on the same level as ATLA and no one seems to know.

So this is a message to all Avatar: The Last Airbender and The Legend of Korra fans. Aaron Ehasz, the previous head writer on ATLA, is the co-creator of The Dragon Prince (AND co-founder of Wonderstorm, a new animation company), a netflix original that is every bit as genius as ATLA.

The only problem? Netflix never advertises it and it’s constantly carrying around the threat of being cancelled. Not because it’s a bad show, but because no one even knows it exists.

The show has a vibe extremely similar to ATLA, with the opening being accompanied by “previously on...”, a similar style of humor, and one of the main trip being voiced by the same actor who voiced Sokka. Even in the first episode it’s hard not to tell that it’s created by the same person. The characters are extremely diverse, with different races, different disabilities, different sexualities, etc. There’s a blind pirate, a deaf general (whom is our queen and we whorship accordingly), lesbian queens, gay elves, characters working to overcome toxic families, etc.

The main antagonist? I still have no idea. The line between “good” and “evil” is so blurred that even though there’s a war, it’s impossible to choose which side is right and which is wrong. The man who’s originally seen as an antagonist,,,,, we don’t even know if he’s in the wrong or not anymore.

The animation is a little wonky in the first season, sure, but they saw the complaints and changed it accordingly. Heck, even with the animation the way it is every single frame looks like a painting, and you become so engulfed in the story you hardly notice what might’ve bothered you in the first episode.

Fjdkkdkdkf i maybe rambled a little to much, but listen—

If you miss ATLA, and want to support those who created that iconic show, watch The Dragon Prince on Netflix. It’s so rare to get a show like this, and I really hope we’ll be able to see it through to the end.

[rxyllum]

@ everyone attacking me in the comments saying how dare I put it on the same level as ATLA, there’s only two seasons out atm. That’s the episode equivalent of a little less than season 1 of ATLA. Compared to the first season of ATLA, the writing and story flow is much better (in my opinion). When you see someone comparing a show to ATLA, try to remove your “nothing can live up to ATLA” way of thinking and actually watch it with an open mind.

ATLA was made years ago, and the creators haven’t stopped creating, saying they’ll never live up to the legacy that ATLA left is kinda,, how do I say this,,,, insulting? Imagine writing a fanfic or drawing a picture ten years ago and having it go viral, and you’re still creating content that has improved greatly, only everyone is so hung up on that one piece of content you created that you refuse to give anything else a chance.

Aaron has had YEARS to improve his talents. Instead of comparing this small clip of TDP to the entire legacy of ATLA, simply look at season 1 of ATLA. The improvement is clear. In no way can two 9-episode seasons of a show ever live up to a full length show with several comics, a spinoff series, and people’s childhoods.

When I say it’s on the same level as ATLA, I mean that it’s set up and shown in a way that allows it to reach that level or higher in the future.
