hey so, as a man who works with other men, here’s a quick relationship tip: if he doesn’t much like cats, that might be just a personal preference. if he hates cats, if he tells you he hates cats as soon as he hears that you have a cat and love your cat, he’s an asshole. he’s telling on himself.  

every guy i’ve ever worked with that makes a point of telling me how much he hates cats as soon as i mention that i have a cat and love my cat, is always someone who is regularly cruel for fun and who laughs in the breakroom about the mean things they do for fun to their girlfriends and children. 

[villainous-queer-deactivated202]

I wish I could articulate all the ways this makes sense and why it makes sense and stuff but it’s just like… something something misogyny something something resentment of creatures that don’t need you and don’t hang on your attention and approval all their lives.

[theseancequeen]

My dad gave me this exact same advice when I was a kid. “Anyone who hates cats is a control freak and an asshole.”

“explain why this horrible toxic ship is better than this healthy loving ship” friend I do not know how to tell you that we may be looking for different things out of our fandom life

[portraitoftheoddity]

I feel like there’s a major disconnect where some people genuinely believe that “shipping” something means “supporting a relationship without reservation as an aspirational romantic ideal, and wanting it to be canon” 

Whereas for most of fandom history and to the rest of us, it means anything from “thinking there’s an interesting story dynamic here” to “just wanna think about the pretty make-believe people kissing.” 

Just because I ‘ship’ something doesn’t mean I wanna project myself into it as some kind of omniscient metaphysical third wheel in my own ideal relationship. Sometimes I just look at two gremlins and think “I wanna see these dipshits set the world on fire while I watch with some popcorn because that seems like it’ll be interesting.” 

It’s the difference between fiction, and actual real-world relationships. Which some folks genuinely seem to think are one and the same. 

[madqueensarah]

I love how when fan-fiction writers have friends in the fandom, to demonstrate their friendship, they dedicate porn to one another.

I think that’s lovely.

Explaining what's up with this hoe's name

With tons of new people joining the fandom through the netflix series, there's bound to be some confusion. Let me enlighten you.

First of all, Jaskier and Dandelion are the same person.

Jaskier is his name in the polish novels, Dandelion was introduced in some translation and used in the Witcher games.

Kinda random, right? Normal fantasy name and then suddenly - flower?

Well, hold fast to your seats, friends.

Jaskier is polish for

Buttercup

(Also, please take a moment to consider that Jaskier is blond in the novels. ...Yeah.)

So, as the translators came to the conclusion that this ray of sunshine can't very well be called Buttercup, a grave mistake if you ask me, they decided to use the significantly more serious and not at all equally adorbs name Dandelion.

And don't get me started on how Jaskier actually is a nickname or stage name, that Jaskier probably picked himself. Jaskier's real name is

Julian Alfred Pankratz viscount de Lettenhove

But he travels the continent fucking calling himself Buttercup instead. He introduced himself to kings, queens and a hulking, scary, badass witcher with Buttercup.

The obvious conclusion is that Jaskier is a tiny yellow flower that must be protected at all costs.

Thank you for coming to my TED Talk.

what if… we made as much content for femslash ships as we do for m/m ships aha ha just kidding…unless?

[when-did-this-become-difficult]

what if… people in the replies who are saying that women characters are more boring than men shut up forever aha ha just kidding…unless?

[playboyisnotagoodthingtobe]

Not to be a nerd, but there are fan studies theories that can explain this!

Traditionally, ships and fanfics depend on exploiting existing character relationships, be they romance, friendship, or even enemies. This is why ships like Elizabeth Benner/Mr Darcy, Harry and Ron, or even Bucky and Stark can sail. Most importantly, traditionally, ships that do not exploit existing character relationships are considered crack. They are OOC. They are blatantly (and sometimes uncomfortably) canon-divergent.

This is why even if a show features interesting female characters, femslash ships are hard to come by: female characters do not interact. For instance, Natasha Romanoff is an interesting character. Sharon Carter is an interesting character. Maria Hill is an interesting character. But why are ships featuring them so rare? Because these women do not interact. We can only fantasise their relationships. There is no canon moment for us to build on or exploit.

That said, fandom trend is changing. As a mildly old fandom dweller, I now see ships that do not depend on existing character relationships are more widely discussed and accepted. This trend will help make femslash more common in the current media climate.

Of course, ultimately, we want texts to include more female-female interactions. The Bechdel-Wallace Test first appeared in 1985, yet few shows pass them even today. Having interesting female characters in a show is not enough. You need to have multiple of them, and let them interact. That’s how we can have more femslash.

[playboyisnotagoodthingtobe]

@transformativeworks we discussed femslash here!

This is very interesting, and as today we’re celebrating femslash let’s smash those statistics and show some love for our favourite wlw couples!

I was in line at Aldi and this girl with two toddlers in front of me had her card declined and she looked so fucking sad and said “let me call my husband real quick” and it was only 18 dollars, so I just paid for it, and she was very sweet and then as she walked off, the lady behind me said `”You know that was probably a scam, right?” and like, even if it was, like what a sad fucking scam, right? 18 dollars at the Aldi. If you’re “scamming” me for some Tyson chicken and apple juice and cauliflower, then just take my fucking money. 

“A scam” people are fucking wild.  

[dragginage]

This happened to me, too. A woman had used WIC for the majority of her stuff (which I say from personal experience is such a long and embarrassing process) and to buy the remainder of her groceries, which included diapers and wipes, she used a card, and it got declined. I bought the other $30 of her groceries because hey, I’ve been there, and now I’m not. She was extremely emotional and began to cry and even hugged me. My mom called me on the drive home and could tell I had been crying myself, asked what was wrong, and when I told her what happened, she berated me for being “duped.” I couldn’t believe she could be so disappointed in one of her children for doing something- nice? Is that the hill you want to die on? Getting mad about people needing groceries?

[systlin]

I once paid for a woman’s bill at the vet…it wasn’t a big one, but she was trying to pay for some medication for her dog, and her card was declined. And her lip started trembling, and she says “I don’t get paid until Tuesday, would he be ok until then?” 

So I just told them to add the $20 something onto my bill, and I thought she was going to break down crying right there.

And I don’t care if it was a scam or not. Just do nice things for people sometimes.

Do good recklessly.

[solarpunk-gnome]

I think “Do good recklessly” would be fantastic word art to hang on one’s wall. Artistic people, go!

[7faerielights]

So this has happened to me but from the other side. Several years ago when my oldest was around three or so, I had my debit card decline at Walmart. It wasn’t a scam or a mistake, I was genuinely broke. Out of money. I checked my bank and discovered I had something like 7 dollars left to my name and a hungry kid and nothing to eat at home. So I sat there trying to come up with the best way to stretch that tiny amount of money to feed my kid. Not even to feed me. I can live on popcorn or something if I have to but my kid was three and he had to eat. So there I am trying really hard not to cry while I slowly take things out of my basket to get it down to under 7 bucks, when a lady tapped me on the shoulder. I looked up and she smiled at me and started putting the things back in my cart. I opened my mouth to tell her that I didn’t have the money for them but she stopped me right away and said “Don’t worry about it. It’s gonna be fine.” Then she handed the cashier her credit card and said “Ring up all of it.” My kid got to eat because of her. I got to eat because of her. I had laundry soap and deodorant because of her. She could’ve just ignored me silently struggling in that line. She could’ve decided I was a scam and gone home feeling good about avoiding being duped. But instead she chose to help me and she saved us. So maybe the person struggling in front of you is trying to put one over on you or maybe they are just sad and broke and trying to figure out what to do. You get to decide which you want to believe and what you want to do. But I’ll tell y’all, no one has ever been more beautiful to me than that lady in that line who saved me and my baby. Be like her. Be beautiful.

[averagemarvelbitch]

One time, my dad and I were living the grocery store and there was a guy outside asking for money to buy some stuff to take home for his kids. It was around Christmas time. My dad asked him if he could give him groceries instead of money, and the guy immediately said yes, so my dad gave him one of everything we bought (meat, rice, some chocolates, milk, oil). At that time, my dad hadn’t gotten his paycheck because the company he worked for was going through a tough time, but he didn’t care, he saw an opportunity to help someone and he did.

Another time, my dad gave 50 bucks to a guy who said he needed to buy medicine for his kids. I told my dad he was probably going to spend the money on alcohol or something, but my dad said that “whether he was lying or not says something about HIS character, but hearing someone in need and choosing not to help when I have the means to says something about mine”.

I never forget that.

Oh, the hero is a straight-laced, charismatic, conventionally handsome, neurotypical, heterosexual white man who trusts the government and lives in a bland, flavorless relationship with a subserviant, less-talented woman whose life revolves around him, and I WASN’T supposed to like the villain more? My bad

[teaboot]

Any villain: I too once believed in the ruling power, but when I put my faith in it to protect me I was betrayed. The people who did this faced no consequences for their actions, faced no trial, and as we speak continue to do more harm to others. Your justice is a pretty plan in theory, hero, but it is naive- the real world is messy and cruel and unfair, and I plan to rectify that. Too long I have tried other ways to make this system work- it is time to make a change

Conventional Heroman: Killing people is wrong and the government probably had good plans for this death ray
