Such pretty fandoms

I just debuted in ao3!

Here’s my Sansaery fic, Dark Eyes, Pink Lipstick . It’s a high school AU, T-rated, with some saphic cuteness.

Reblogs and reads are much appreciated!

This lovely art by @polar-biscuit inspired the whole fic!

can we please turn pride into a protest to support lgbt+ ghanaians genuinely. like they are not forgotten or invisible no matter what the bill does.

People ‘panicking’ as Ghana passes sweeping law criminalising LGBTQ+ activity

Community groups say some fear they could lose homes, jobs and access to healthcare if the new law is ratified by President John Dramani Mah

the best fanfiction you've ever read was written by a woman in her 40s before she made dinner for her kids. it was written by a teenager after school when they should've been studying for a history test. and a barista came up with the idea while they cleaned the espresso machine and busser fact-checked it on their break and the post-doc edited between writing grant proposals and the nurse apologized for typos in the notes after a long shift and behind every drabble and one-shot and multi-chapter fic there is a person with a wonderful and interesting and chaotic life and it is such a privilege that we get to be apart of it because they decided to do this thing we all share, for fun.

finally reading the fma manga and ed is the protagonist of all time. he’s the softest lil guy. he’s a rabid raccoon. he is the scourge of the military. everyone wants to adopt him. he’s a pacifist. he bites. he gets giddily happy at the birth of a child. his speech is punctuated with sarcastic hearts. he’s a generational talent. he will walk directly into a trap eyes open head empty. he is a foul mouthed little rat. he makes friends everywhere he goes. he’ll dig up any grave and turn over any stone and kick anyone’s ass to get his brother back. he refuses to believe his brother cares about him the same way. he makes this face:

There was a massive shift in how our culture understood morality when, after World War II, the general public realized “just following orders” was not an excuse for crimes against humanity. Now we need another moral shift in which we decide, as a culture, that “for the benefit of the stockholders” is not an excuse for anything.

[speciesofleastconcern]

We kind of need to relearn the “just following orders” part again

- the singular bisexual character across 15+ books says "I don't like labels; I'm less about gender and more about the person"

- frequently upset by mention of silicone cock because "FLESH COCK ONLY. FAKE COCK THREATENING."

- "you're bisexual so you also like dick and I cant give that to you" OH MY GOD IF Y'ALL COULD BE NORMAL ABOUT DILDOS THIS WOULDNT BE A PROBLEM

[dovesndecay]

Look, I know what I'm reading, right? I'm not new to this, and I'm not expecting a comprehensive sexuality and gender treatise in my heterosexual soul mates shifter romance from 2018. If I wanted that, I would look elsewhere.

I will, however, gripe about the parts that break my fucking immersion.

[dovesndecay]

In the first book, depending on the sensibilities of the couple, shifter mating ceremonies would end in an orgy with the main couple starting them off. Same book, the main girl has a six-way with her mate and all the guys of his pack.

None of this is never mentioned again in future books. There are, like, 7 more books. I'm gonna read them all.

Do NOT threaten to put a wireless egg vibrator in anyone's ass.

Flared base, please. The lack thereof is how you end up in the ER.

[dovesndecay]

Okay, the series has massively increased in quality with the addition of Russian wolverine shifters. I have 5 more books to go, and I'm actually hopeful they'll be enjoyable!

[dovesndecay]

Okay I'm like three or four more books away from the end and I'm slogging through this one. They've introduced bush dog shifters, and it's really obvious that they didn't think through how to refer to the animal side because they keep referring to the FMC's inner animal as "her female" and it's throwing me off so fucking bad.

just call it her inner bitch and get it over with ರ⁠_⁠ರ

Put in the tags the completely finished (whether cancelled or wrapped up on its own terms) TV series that has YOUR perfect ending, however you define that

Please don’t include huge spoilers for the specifics of the endings, and it would also make me happy if people don’t use this to talk about the shows whose endings they hated

having a hard time focusing today. i've also had a hard time focusing for the previous 15 or so years leading up to now but this post is about today.

i have rule i semi-adhere to for media criticism which is to ideologically meet shit where it's at (or where it's presented to me). i like to call it the "i didn't make you market it that way" rule--like, if lancer's union was just presented as a sci-fi setting, that would be fine. i don't expect all sci-fi settings to be communist utopias! but when the creators of lancer use the word utopia like 20 times & bandy around words like 'mutual aid' and 'post-scarcity' and 'anticapitalist' when describing it, then to me that becomes absolutely fair game. similarly if someone says 'stardew valley is fun i like farming :)' then i'm not gonna reply with a long post about how it's ideologically petty-bourgeois--but if they say 'stardew valley is anticapitalist', then they've opened up that can of worms and it's fair for me to point out that the worms exist.

[txttletale]

it's the same phenomenon where a fantasy novel that says 'for the duration of this fantasy novel you need to just believe in the divine right of kings for the emotional stakes to make sense' is infinitely less objectionable than a fantasy novel that's also about restoring a king but takes painstaking time to point out how this king is A Good King who is Progressive and Nice and is going to do Nice Monarchy. when you try to sanitize something you end up turning any otherwise neutral or at least palatable depiction or framework you've included into a normative statement!
