in all seriousness, if someone atticwives ryland grace, the power dynamic on display (as buck has already mentioned) is kind of horrendous, but it already exists in the text. i gestured at it in caulk worm fic and subverted it primarily because it didn't match the tone, but there's so much going on...

grace is fundamentally at the behest of paternalistic benefactors who consider his existence kind of cute and interesting. this is a very scary position to be in: if, say, funding ran out for his biome, what would he do? i know weir (and, by proxy, the film) glosses over this by making eridians a sort of utopia, but andy weir also doesn't give a single shit about things like "linguistics" or "culture" so i dont trust that guy

he is already atticwifed because presumably there is lots of stuff going on outside on erid and he's unable to participate in it. for example, we know on earth grace lacks friends; does he have friends outside of rocky on erid? can you be friends with a team of zookeepers hired solely to keep you alive? can you, as a human, be good friends with your primary care doctor? and even if you can---can you trust your doctor to be honest with you both as your doctor and your friend?

beyond that, what is grace's status? is he a citizen? do they even want him there? surely there is opposition to his existence. if erid is neoliberal democratic, is he given a right to vote? if they're anarcho-syndicalists (my preferred choice, for what is a thrum if not a union) is he a member of a union to be able to bargain for his rights? is he able to join a union without the ability to thrum? does he even have any notion of the political situation? or is that something he's happily oblivious to in order to keep him safe?

he is fundamentally at rocky's mercy for all of the above. as he seems to have no access to the outside world bar what rocky filters through for him, rocky can tell him something and he has absolutely no way to go check for himself. if rocky were to say, lie to him for grace's own good, that could spiral very very fast indeed. i know, again, the film glosses over this, but that puts grace in a very tenuous position. why not set the attic alight to be able to truly see for the first time the goings on of the house below?

It’s impossible to convince everyone to retroactively use the tag system properly but as a fix-it I’m going to start tagging all my non-crossover Iron Lung posts with #just blood if anyone wants to join me?

(no hate to hail mary but the shipping has eaten the smaller fandom alive & it’s legitimately impossible to search for anything else atp)

[itsgotgills]

what a great idea!

BROWSER ADDONS MADE TO HID FILTERD POSTS WILL CUASE YOUR SHIT TO LAG SO HARD BCS OF THIS!!! THUS WHY WE HAD TO MAKE A NEW ADDON TAG!!!

I'm vehemently against fandoms being shoved out of their own tag. Don't make a new tag, the canon tag is where you're supposed to be. You're only making it harder for new and existing fans to find the community they're looking for!

Do you know what the actual etiquette is? The one that's been around since Tumblr began? The one that's been followed dutifully up until the last few years?

Once an AU becomes so prevalent it starts becoming bothersome, YOU DON'T MAINTAG THE CANON FANDOM. Yes, this is a gray area when it comes to what constitutes as bothersome. Yes, bloodymary is WAY beyond that line.

Instead of bailing on the canon tag, SPREAD THIS MESSAGE. If someone refuses to follow this etiquette, BLOCK THEM.

You owe it to yourself, to your community, and to new fans who won't know the fandom exists in some obscure tag. Stand your ground and be vocal about this etiquette.

PS-- to the AU fans who insist they won't be found without the canon tag: yes you will. People subscribe to a tag when they know that's the fandom they want. People use the REGULAR SEARCH function to discover it. If your post has canon character or franchise names in it, or even non-canon tags, a regular search will display those.

Be considerate. Acting like an ass will only make possible fans hate your AU when it's shoved down their throats.

kind of in awe that the "is fetish gear ok to wear at pride events" shit is ongoing in 2026 like its literally fine 😭 if someone brings kids to a pride parade they aren't gonna be traumatized seeing someone in a harness or even shirtless or whatever like genuinely who caressssss.... when i was a kid just going to anime conventions people sold fetish gear there and it didn't bother me, like

to be so honest can we stop pretending that kids don't already know about sex or fetishes

Okay, I was just going to reblog this without commentary, but I can't keep this to myself. I'm a PhD student in environmental science and this is my fucking highway.

The first published study about climate change (that I am aware of-- feel free to point out if there's an older one) is an 1896 paper by Svante Arrhenius. He pointed out the link between the greenhouse effect and changes in atmospheric CO2.

Plate tectonics, which the geoscience community now recognizes as near indisputable, was a fringe theory until about the 1960s.

Just in case anyone thought that climate change was a "recent fad" in research.

En Anglais, on ne dit pas “quatre vingt dix neuf”, on dit “ninety nine” qu'on pourrait traduire comme “Hurr durr, regardez mois, j'ai un système de numérotation fonctionnel” et je crois que c'est magnifique.
