Nobody calls each other “terminally online” anymore. I think that’s because everyone is terminally online now. Jobless too. And ugly as fuck. Stains all over our shirts. Stupid as well

[do-you-have-a-flag]

think before you write "old man" instead of "middle aged man" yaoi

or yuri! has that woman passed menopause? no? middle aged!!

[do-you-have-a-flag]

and again: those 30 somethings are not old men, they aren't even middle aged.

[union shrek voice] they aren't even middle aged....

[fanlore-wiki]

This has been a debate since use of the term began, see the Old Man Yaoi Fanlore page to learn more.

the number 1 rule of fanfic is have fun and be yourself. the number 2 rule is the average healthy adult male can lose roughly 2 liters of blood before dying.

[thecharmingquirksofothers]

incredible prev tags

[codes-and-stuffs]

i do think we should normalise being like. platonically enamoured with someone. perhaps i love and admire you dearly and there's nothing romantic about it

Putting the term "Catholic guilt" on a high shelf where fandom can't reach it until everyone learns how to identify characters who are very very clearly coded as Protestant.

in chess the queens can kill each other which is toxic yuri and the kings can never get within a square of each other which is doomed yaoi

I hate cigarettes so much I hate that smoking is becoming cool again I hate that we're becoming contrarian hipsters about this disgusting habit that has literally killed so many people and destroyed so many lives I'm so serious we need to become absolute killjoys about this again it's time to go 90s scolds on cigarettes until the scourge is wiped out entirely.

AO3 Commenter Scam

i recently posted a fic on ao3 and got a sketchy comment about someone liking my work and making art of it. the thought and gesture is not inherently sketchy, but the way it was typed was:

firstly, why is "story" typed out like that? my scam senses were tingling immediately, but i gave "ela" the benefit of doubt and humored them:

asking me to contact them via email? not spelling message right?? "d0t"??? even sketchier, but again, i humored them. anyway, we "talked" a bit back and forth, they asked me where i post my works, what country i'm from, and they wanted to get to know me. i gave a vague answer and directed them to my tumblr, then they replied with a poorly punctuated response asking me to support their art monetarily and offering to show me their "client work"

being the scientific-minded guy i was, i kept the exchange up until they sent me their "art" and lo and behold:

they sent me AI slop

i quickly blocked "ela" and deleted the comment thread from AO3, but i saved the email thread for receipts

stay safe online, don't trust randos on the internet so quickly, be careful with your money, and support your local fanfic authors with kudos and real comments <3

TLDR: elarameryy is a scammer who makes shitty AI slop so delete their comments if you find them on your fics!

I think a lot of people would benefit from unlearning the idea that casual sex is inherently disgusting, harmful, or immoral just because they personally don’t want to partake in it. You can stand up for sexual safety and consent without acting like people who enjoy fucking strangers are degenerates. I take no issue with anyone asserting boundaries or stating that they’re not interested in certain kinds of sex or even sex as a whole. But when you condemn or express disgust at others for engaging in consensual sex, that’s when you start to sound like a puritan.

[midnightssea]

Btw, this includes self-proclaimed “feminists” who shame and lecture women for giving men “access” to their bodies. Bodies are not commodities and sex is not inherently transactional. You don’t lose anything by having sex on purpose with a person you find attractive. Sex is not some metaphysically transformative thing that bonds you to the other person forever. It is literally not that deep.

[mxjackparker]

Sex that is transactional is also fine, if you are content with the trade. You don't lose anything of yourself by selling sex, you don't owe anyone sex and you're allowed to make payment a boundary, and your number of sexual partners does not determine your worth.

wgatever .

[draconym]

I just saw an acquaintance use "👖🛝" in place of the word genocide and. like. at what point are we going to decide that this kind of self-censorship is too degrading to abide anymore.

[draconym]

"grape" "sewer-slide" "the panini" I feel like I'm surrounded by Rugrats who overheard the grown ups talking about the news.

[draconym]

I'm tired of seeing people excuse algospeak because "corporations are making us do it." Why are we all letting them do that. The Internet is real life. Get mad about it.
