Out of curiosity rb and put in the tags how many fics come up when you type your last name into ao3. Apparently even though my last name is uncommon there's like 500

do you ever just look at a girl and realise how fucking gay you are

A lot of people seem to think fatphobia begins and ends with outright hatred. Like the only way to be fatphobic is to be mean to fat people to our faces.

When I say it's fatphobic to complain about your own weight gain, I'm not saying it's just as bad as bullying other people. I'm not saying that you're a Bad Person™️ for feeling insecure. I'm not saying that you're not allowed to want your own body to be different. I'm not saying you have no reason to feel that way. I'm not saying I think you necessarily hate anyone.

I'm saying you're buying into the idea that being fat is inferior. That can take infinite forms because that idea is so intricately baked into the society we live in, we've all been exposed to it. And that means we need to 1) name it and 2) make a conscious effort to unlearn it, and be prepared to struggle and fuck up as we go.

my favorite thing about the mystery genre is that we all accept the concept of "world famous detective" without hesitation even though that is absolutely not a real category of celebrity

and if one of my mutuals thinks some random character i’ve never heard of is gay well then they’re right

Oh fabulous. I was unaware of it and now I need to find out if there’s a recording I can watch.

[wickedpissahnerd]

YES! The camera work in the clip above made me wonder if it was from a professionally filmed performance and in fact there’s a Great Performances version up on archive.org:

the thing is when people say a specific fanfic trope comes from supernatural they usually mean "it was invented by the supernatural fandom in a fanfic". on the other hand, when people say a specific fanfic trope comes from star trek, they mean "it was the plot of at least one star trek episode"

it drives me bonkers the way people don't know how to read classic books in context anymore. i just read a review of the picture of dorian gray that said "it pains me that the homosexual subtext is just that, a subtext, rather than a fully explored part of the narrative." and now i fully want to put my head through a table. first of all, we are so lucky in the 21st century to have an entire category of books that are able to loudly and lovingly declare their queerness that we've become blind to the idea that queerness can exist in a different language than our contemporary mode of communication. second it IS a fully explored part of the narrative! dorian gray IS a textually queer story, even removed from the context of when its writing. it's the story of toxic queer relationships and attraction and dangerous scandals and the intertwining of late 19th century "uranianism" and misogyny. second of all, i'm sorry that oscar wilde didn't include 15k words of graphic gay sex with ao3-style tags in his 1890 novel that was literally used to convict him of indecent behaviour. get well soon, i guess...
