Your Kink is Not My Kink and That's Okay

Neither Harassment nor Censorship of Fiction is acceptable

Disgust is not a Moral Compass, things are wrong based on the Active Harm they cause, not how Gross they are

Fiction 👏 is 👏 not 👏 Reality 👏

Compassion is more important for comforting someone than Empathy

So long as all participants are consenting, do Whatever You Want Forever

Anonymity and Privacy are human rights

Just because you Dislike something Doesn't Mean it's Wrong

If you place the rights of fictional characters above those of Real People, fuck off

Thinking about Danny Phantom but as found footage/analogue horror. Like, it works SO incredibly well and I'm a bit obsessed.

Inexplicably grainy FentonWorks lab footage? A ghost dissection video log that gets more disturbing the longer it goes on? Ambiguous morality? Distorted imagery? Something being very, very wrong with the Fenton's son?

The proto-portal test footage from the 80s???? followed by hospital quarantine reports describing what a fatal dose of ecto-contaminants looks like? Which is then interrupted by Ṽ̵͇͍̓̒̕l̷̛͕̜̞̬͒̔͑̾̊͊a̷̝̰͕̗͇̣̓́́d̶̢̬̳̗̻̖̄̒̓̈́͌̚̕ ̴̡̛̱̱́́͆͠ͅw̷͎̬̠͒̐́̈́̈̇̚ā̵̢̢̛͔͙́͒̚͝k̴̡̹̘̻̜͇̬̍̏̄͂̊̀͠i̸̙͋͗̄ṅ̸̢̳̻̠̦̬͌̍͐͐̅͠g̶͇̥̮̦̗͑̃͘ ̶̨̏̈́̆͠ṳ̷͉̩̮̙̄̇͜p̸̧̡̹̗͇͘ and turning the hospital upside down?

obsessed with characters who snapped because their circumstances were so fucked that losing it was literally the sanest response

I remember back when shifting political power from wealthy owners to the public was known as "democracy"

I guess if you've fried your brain on Fox News for 25 years, you just kind of forget how words sound to normal people?

hbo max blocks screenshots even when I use the snipping tool AND firefox AND ublock which is a fucking first. i will never understand streaming services blocking the ability to take screenshots thats literally free advertising for your show right there. HOW THE HELL IS SOMEBODY GONNA PIRATE YOUR SHOW THROUGH SCREENSHOTS. JACKASS

[parkayquarts]

somewhere out there is a guy who meticulously takes screenshots of every individual frame of his favorite tv shows and then painstakingly etches each one onto a roll of film which he puts into his old timey projector and recreates the footage as a silent film with his own lavishly hand-lettered dialogue cards and original score that he plays on his upright piano and charges audiences one shiny penny a play. at last, big media has finally outsmarted ol' Zachary Zoetrope

[theheroheart]

PSA for everyone who doesn't know, explained simply

this is NOT because of blocking screenshots, it's because of HOW streaming sites use your computer's hardware to optimise performance, which means the thing rendering the video and the thing capturing your screen aren't the SAME thing. so they can't talk together.

you can fix this by going to your browser settings, searching for "hardware acceleration", and turning that off.

[team-thickness12]

This also fixes screen sharing to other screens. It has been GODSEND

[lucarleigho]

type this in the toolbar to find this setting in firefox: about:preferences#searchResults

ol' Zachary Zoetrope is back in business!

SPOILERS FOR 22 CHAPTER "Against the kitchen floor" BY @browniefox !!!!!!

I was thinking about it since I read the chapter.... btw I'm "Thanks for the chapter!" one, hehehe

grayscale version:

[browniefox]

LITERALLY GOT ME KICKING MY FEET EEEEEE!!!

Caine really only asked for one thing from all of them and Kinger just bulldozed right past it assured he’s in the right making a good call. Smashing up a computer is really a very controlled response tbh

I love the way you draw all of them <3

[irhiaa]

One of my favorite scenes from Against the Kitchen Floor (chapter 28) by @browniefox

[browniefox]

YES YES YES OH MY GOD YOU DO SUCH A GOOD JOB OF CAPTURING THE SCENE!!! Caine looking basically like a zombie, barely limping along gughgjhf and you remembered to include the extra arms yessss

(Reaaaally lucky no one jumped to thinking Caine was on a ‘killing’ spree like this lol)

[demilypyro]

gonna go squat on my own personal five square feet of street and if anyone gets close I'll glare at em girl style

[demilypyro]

catgirls are approaching me

[demilypyro]

they are rubbing their heads on my leg and I will reluctantly pet them and smile so the audience knows that despite my rough exterior I have a kind heart

[demilypyro]

tch..... little cutie....

Some more ceramic critters from earlier in the spring! A few more posts and I'll finally, briefly, be caught up on the sold work backlog 😅

[krisrisk]

So many times one of my mutuals falls back into a passion of theirs and flood their dash (and mine) with all about it, and it makes me grin like an idiot because it's so sweet. Yes, love, you did it! You found a spark of joy! Yay! Please show me more of the things you care about ❤️!

[warheads-r-us-deactivated202301]

Yes, that’s a gun in my pants. No, I’m not happy to see you.

He survived glaze firing, the wick and oil reserve work perfectly as intended, and now he remains in chains, offering light.

[hellenhighwater]

Sure! The rock is hollow and covers a small container of oil. There's a hole bored through his hand, leg, ass, and the rock with a wick that dangles into the oil container and feeds fuel into the flame. The wick is in a little glass tube to help regulate burn.

[hellenhighwater]

this is actually my favorite notification on this post because genuinely do you know how hard it is to sculpt a butt that is like. proportional but also if it's too flat you can tell that there's major muscles missing under the skin but also it needs to not be too caked or it gets weird, and it is actually a major anatomical landmark and if you mess it up the whole legs are off.

so yeah. his ass. it's barely even visible but im proud of it.

[the-haiku-bot]

so yeah. his ass. it’s

barely even visible

but im proud of it.

Beep boop! I look for accidental haiku posts. Sometimes I mess up.

[hellenhighwater]

Haiku bot my love, I'm starting to think that you might be stalking me.

^^^THE SAME COMIC. THESE ARE ALL THE SAME.

[lizzibennet]

my mom’s been telling me my entire life she and my dad met at a bar which BOOOO BORING but today she just casually mentions actually she placed a fuckin ad in the newspaper saying she was ‘a single lady ready to meet the one’ and he was the first to call her and they dated over the phone for like three months before they met n she was like “i was already pretty much in love with him because i adored his laugh on the phone” ????? What kinda 90s romcom bullshit

[lizzibennet]

btw the first time they met in person apparently was because my grandpa fuckin uhhh died? and my dad called my mom inconsolable and she went over to console him and literally just kinda ?? never left???? ehakdhskdhskfjdkdh this bitch’s been telling me they very casually met at a bar can you beLEAF no wonder me and my brother were born fuckin drama queens

[lizzibennet]

me: so you placed an ad? in the newspaper? telling men who were interested in fathering children a beautiful woman to call you? like a person advertising property they want to sell?

my mom, pokerfaced: yes that is exactly what i did

me: mom.

mom: it’s not that different from tinder!

me: you know i read a fanfic once where that was the exact plot of how the two characters met. except it was set in the nineteenth century!!!

mom:

mom: bet you thought it was hot

me: NOT THE POINT

[lizzibennet]

apparently. when they had their very first date my dad mentioned his daughter (my sister on his side) and my mom was like :( because she really wanted children and he just patted her hand and was like “don’t worry! we’ll have children of our own.” HDLSHDSKDHDK THE AUDACITY OF THIS MAN? ON THEIR FIRST DATE??? HELLO?

[lizzibennet]

me: so dad what did you think about mom’s ad in the newspaper

my dad, curt: it was cool i guess.

me:

me: did you not think it was weird at all? why did you call her specifically and not anyone else?

dad: no it was common back then. idk i liked the font she chose for the ad

my mom, from the kitchen: it was standard issue from the paper for the ads to look like that

dad: oh… guess it was fate then :)

me:

dad:

mom:

me: did you feel that? did you feel the breeze that just passed?

dad: yeah?

me: that was because mom just melted in the kitchen

mom, from the kitchen, voice clearly a little choked: NO I DID NOT

[razziecat]

OK, wow, sometimes I forget how freakin' YOUNG some folks are here.

Once upon a time, last century (like mid-century), there was a thing called the Classified Advertising section of the newspaper. People placed ads in it to buy/sell cars, dogs, furniture, garden equipment, whatever; companies placed employment ads seeking workers; legal notices were placed by companies and/or attorneys; landlords placed ads for apartments to rent, realtors placed ads for houses for sale. You get the drift?

There was also a "Personals" column. This could be anything from messages to friends ("Joe, please call Annabelle"), novenas (long prayers to Jesus, Mary the Mother of Jesus, various saints, asking for their help, no, I'm not making this up), and so on. And from this evolved, eventually, a column for dating. The name of the column varied from newspaper to newspaper. Ours was called The Meeting Place.

Most papers divided this up into "Men seeking Women" and "Women seeking Men." Some of them eventually added same-sex headings. You gave a little info about yourself (no photos) and what kind of person you were looking for, and replies could be sent to a mailbox at the paper, which then sent them on to you (without opening them thank god, the envelopes were just put into a bigger envelope to mail it to you).

Your mom was correct, it wasn't that different from online dating, just more cumbersome because it involved calling in the ad (don't even ask), mailing it in, or eventually placing it online where it had to be vetted to weed out the explicit stuff (double-don't-even-ask).

Weeding out the creeps was on you. I have no idea what the success rate of this sort of thing might have been.
