I’ll never forget the fanfic space on wattpad back in 2016-2017’ish where its culture was that writers would not post their new chapters until they reached x amount of votes (kudos) and comments. I mean I’d never judge anyone for how they chose to update their fics even though I didn’t agree with them. but like. it was the entire wattpad fanfic culture back then that made most writers believe they had to set these specific numbers of votes and comments that they must reach first before they posted the next chapters. so if you were on the fanfic corner of wattpad during that time, you’d most likely have seen fics where it said in the chapter something like “50 votes and 20 comments for the next chapter!” and it was literally the norm and so normalized that I didn’t see anything weird about it back then. but looking back, years after I’ve left wattpad for ao3, yeah that culture as a whole was weird and it shaped writers into thinking that they wrote for the sake of shallow engagement instead for the joy of getting to create, it shaped writers into thinking that their fics’ worth was decided and dictated by strangers’ approval. and then tiktok became a thing and this mindset continued. not to mention how wattpad is full of ads now unless you pay the site monthly for a premium, ad-free service.

so like. man, this is why I love ao3. there’s none of these capitalism or algorithm bullshit on ao3. just writers creating out of love and passion. everybody say thank you ao3

Tumblr users will say "queer history" and mean "midcentury archival records from a specific US-American city that I have extrapolated into a universal mythos" and not even blink

"learn your queer history" I am from fucking INDIA

taliabhattwrites

Maybe your queer elders fictional or otherwise were also influenced by the biases and contradictions of their own circumstances, time and place, and I am no more beholden to their ideas and ways of doing things than I am to any other form of tradition trying to constrain me.

Perhaps history is a conversation and not an edict.

especially because when queer americans on this app (and lets be honest all of social media) talk about "learning queer history" its almost always a young white queer person who is really only referring to white queer history in america

which has so many issues of its own, the most grievous in my opinion being the blatant disregard of black and brown queer history, and how BIPOC queer people (especially queer women) were the basis of the US's gay rights movement at large

to have a holistic and balanced understanding of queer history, one must study, discuss, and honor the contributions and experiences of black and brown queer folk. not just from their own home country, but from all over the world. its rather unfortunate that the people referred to in op's post not only fail to do this, but fail to even recognize this aspect of queer history/world history. they do themselves and the community a disservice

HOUSE OF THE DRAGON, 01.01 HOUSE OF THE DRAGON, 02.01

love the layers- sure the cloak symbolizes criston's honor and how he views alicent as giving him honor/purpose but it also mirrors alicent's relationships with rhaenyra and criston, showing how she's seeking the intimacy she had with rhaenyra through criston. rhaenyra is haunting both criston and alicent in this scene and it's so so good
