bernard-black-books was literally so brave for saying this like she started a revolution and got all the fandom nerds riled up and frothing at the mouth. respect for our troops
[Image Description: an addition to a post by user @/bernard-black-books. It says “I was talking to this girl on hinge and we got onto the topic of books (i work in a bookshop), and she asked me if i had any favourite tropes to read? And for the life of me i couldn’t figure out how to respond? Like Ms, i dont read fanfic, i dont understand what youre asking. I dont think ‘tropes’ can be used interchangeably with ‘genre’. We dont have a section at work for shit like ‘enemies to lovers’ im sorry thats not how real literature works” End ID]
if you type “trope” into google scholar you’re going to find literary theory dating back to the 1980s at least. one of the first results is H. L. Gates ‘James Gronnishaw and the trope of the talking book’, probably the most cited work on black American slave narratives. the wiktionary page for trope contains a quote from 1776, George Campbell in ‘Of Wit, Humour and Ridicule’, who uses the word in its modern sense. the concept seems to derive from ancient Greek formal rhetoric. this is always one of the most misinformed posts i see on my dashboard.
i don’t think their point is that tropes aren’t a concept in Real Literature™️, but that they’re not how your average reader of non-fanfic books interacts with them. like, they’re not organised like that, they’re not tagged like ao3 fics, no one’s first question when told about a new book is “oh what tropes does it have” because that is to most people kind of a bizarre way to get an idea of something you haven’t read yet.
It’s like saying ‘I like pastries!’ and being asked ‘so what’s your favorite ingredient?’ Sure, maybe you like certain ingredients more than others, but… you’re eating the whole thing.
I understand that view as well, but what is wrong with someone saying they like their pastries to have fruit in them? Or chocolate? Or how coconut ruins it for them? I see it as someone coming in and asking what you like to see in stories. Do you like stories of redemption? Do you like tales where people form a rag tag team and a found family? Those aren’t genres, they are tropes, and I think there is value in seeing what you like.
Media has tropes, it’s not just applicable to fanfiction, and if you can’t understand that it’s not the fault of people with actual literary analysis skills.
The OP and anyone who agrees more than likely has tropes that they adore! and tropes they hate! But they’re so intent on being superior they can’t even understand basic literary terms lmao

Hey y'all, it's your local queer crippled shitposter lol. I just moved out of a shit situation, I couldn't bring much and I'm trying to rebuild my life, so if any of y'all could buy something off my am*zon wishlist that'd be great
In particular your bitch is cold and needs some slippers and gloves, and a vaccuum bc we don't have one and my allergies are ruthless. Literally anything on this list helps tho
(Update: Someone bought me the vacuum! Fuck yeah!! Tysm!! <3)
(Update: gloves have also been purchased! Thank you 💖)

Voting is now open for the Stanuary 2022 themes! Use this poll to vote!!
You can vote for as many options as you want, but only the four with the most votes will be used for the main themes. However, don’t despair if your choices don’t win! All additional themes will still be listed on the Stanuary blog as extra prompts.
This poll will be open until Sunday, December 26th, and the winning themes will be posted on December 27th.
I want to preface this by saying this is not victim blaming. This not calling people online lazy or grifting or whatever.
But an underlooked proponent on why some people are nearing homeless and crowdfunding heavily rn is bc society has failed you by making it as inconvenient as possible to learn about social systems and programs that already exist to help your situation as well as not having enough programs and aid.
Lemme give some examples. I have been unemployed for 10 months. My mom told me about a paying job training program a month ago after I already decided to mive in with her to find work, because nothing was coming up in my own city. My best friend didn’t know about affordable housing assistance in my state until she talked to my dad about it on a chance encounter. Some people on here have to see posts about much cheaper alternatives to their current prescriptions or medical plans because its not in the interest of their doctors paychecks to tell them about it. I would have waited to get vaccinated and not have crowdfunded for Uber money if I had known they were going to give free vaccine rides the next month. But I wouldn’t have really known this until I opened the app once that program started, because it is in their interest to keep taking my money until its their desired time for me to reap their “generous” services.
What I’m trying to say is that this is an under discussed aspect of how capitalism fails people. When you are forced to make your life and work and finances so singular and self interested, you are cut off from community and equivalent social services to proper government assistance. You literally don’t know that there is help somewhere out there for you unless you’re told.
I believe a professor I had called this “cultural wisdom” but I haven’t been able to find the social science articles that expanded on this. It’s a practical knowledge of local systems that allows someone to function and thrive in that system. The example she used was having an understanding that banks can hold your money, but the practical aspect of accessing your money (in a convenient and easy manor) was knowing about ATMs and how to use them. But unless you have an account or someone ready to inform you, there’s no dedicated time or milestone where someone learns this.
And that’s just with a machine designed to give you YOUR money, let alone complex social service programs.
I want everyone who crowdfunds for hospital bills to know they probably don’t have to oay them at all. Just find the financial aid office of the hospital. It’s on the website BY LAW. Find the form. Fill it out. Get the bills canceled or lowered! You don’t need crowd money, you need the government’s money that’s already set aside for your medical care.
GO TO, MESSAGE, OR CALL YOUR LOCAL LIBRARY. Libraries are focusing more and more on community resources, support, and outreach. If you genuinely don’t know something or feel uncertain or are in a new situation, a reference librarian will not only help you sort your thoughts through their reference interview but then help you arm yourself with knowledge from reliable and often local sources. It doesn’t even have to be a question to Ask A Librarian. You can simply say “I’m in this situation now. I don’t know what to do next./I’m not confident I know everything I should or want to know.”
Ok yall are adding great additions in the tags but you can also just respond to the post so I can reblog those versions 👀

it’s time to yell at Discord before they help destroy the planet
Discord’s CEO is on twitter hinting about their apparent future involvement with NFTs/crypto.
In case you aren’t already aware, cryptocurrency is digital currency that sucks because it consumes an absurd amount of energy and computer parts, and NFTs are a way of creating false scarcity for digital items, which are bought and sold with crypto currency, and also suck. Here is an article about why that shit sucks. The article has additional information. Here is a twitter account that also documents NFT thefts & scams (NFTs are often stolen art sold without permission).
HERE IS WHAT YOU SHOULD DO ASAP:
1. CANCEL NITRO. Don’t wait around for them to reverse course or apologize. Cancel it now, choose “other” when it asks why you’re canceling and write in your answer. They need to see the financial backlash right now. You can always re-sub if they backpedal, but right now they need the impetus to do the backpedaling.
2. GO HERE to their feedback forum. make a thread and tell them you cancelled nitro and don’t want them involved with crypto garbage. contribute to other threads if you see one that piques your interest. EXTRA CREDIT: downvote this thread, boo them, downvote the crypto dingdongs in the comments.
3. If you have twitter, tweet at them. tweet at @discord and reply to Jason’s tweet with whatever dunking and booing you feel like.
4. PASS IT AROUND. Tell your friends with nitro. Tell your favorite group chats and servers. Encourage them to do the same.
This is one of those situations where we need massive and decisive backlash RIGHT NOW to nip it in the bud. Your input really does matter right now. Shouting down shit like this has gotten even companies like Patreon to reverse course on bad decisions. Even the stupidest tech bros do respond to enough screaming. So SCREAM. Remind them where their real money comes from, and scare them away from the planet-destroying fake money.
