More than 2 years ago I meet one of the most amazing, incredible, kind and beautiful person I could ever meet in my life, my dear @meddows-taylor. We see each other growing up, becoming more adults, achieving some of our main goals in life and words can’t be enough to say how proud I am to be by your side during these moments. And today I just wanted to celebrate this friendship that I will protect at all cost. A sister from another mother and another country 💛💛💛

[meddows-taylor]

I’m speechless!!!! I’m still coming off the stress of these last two months and let me tell you this girl right here has been a fundamental support for me. Such a sweet, selfless and talented person I’m beyond grateful to call my friend ♥️♥️♥️ someone who always has a word of encouragement and who pushes me to try my best daily. Truly a thing from fate that we found each other across the sea, time zones and all.

Fandom is such a weird place. Like I watched a tv show and thought “wow, these two nerds have a lot of chemistry and I’d like to dedicate a large chunk of my life to thinking about them” so I went in search of other people who also thought these two nerds had a lot of chemistry and then it turned out that a shit ton of people were talking about these two nerds having a lot of chemistry and now it’s 4 years later and we write each other porn on holidays.

If I had a nickel for every time a fictional Italian commissario in a TV show originated from a book series was in love with a woman named Livia who was definitely not the right partner for him I'd have two nickels, which isn't a lot, but it's weird it happened twice

i like returning to tumblr every once in a while and finding that destiel has gone canon in yet another language

tumblr catch up! answer the questions and tag nine people you want to catch up with.

Catch up is the right word cause I haven’t been around in ages (college, last final exam, a few health things for close people) so when my amazing friend @mehrcurry tagged me it seemed like a great chance to slowly come back. Answers are not that exciting because my brain is slowly rebooting after two months of intense studying and stressing.

last song I listened to: Chiamami per nome by Fedez and Francesca Michielin

last film I watched: I haven’t watched a film in months, I honestly can’t remember what the last movie could be.

show I'm watching: we’re in a Il Giovane Montalbano watch-rewatch loop

books I'm reading: I read “the yellow wallpaper” on Thursday, a short story. Next book I’ll try to dive into is Uno nessuno centomila by Luigi Pirandello or Living a Feminist Life by Sarah Ahmed

I know I’ve been terrible at catching up and talking to people lately but I’m dropping a few tags in case you want to do this @sixtysecondstreet @mazzelloh @demonessryu @casuallygloriouspirate

[meddows-taylor]

what a great day to remember that we should not colonize mars, the whole concept is anthropocentric, imperialist, unrealistic and just weird, and the idea of establishing the same capitalistic systems that have turned out to be our downfall on another planet instead of solving problems on earth is so incredibly short-sighted and power fantasy driven that it makes me want to eat glass. the exploration of outer space should always be expressively and only for the benefit of all humankind, not to fill the pockets of some billionaires with a god complex. fuck elon musk all my homies hate elon musk

Amazon Unveils a [Horrifying] Fanfic Publishing Platform

Today, Amazon announced the imminent launch of its newest endeavor, Kindle Worlds, a publishing platform for fanfiction. When I read the announcement, I was horrified, then angry, then sad. I want to take a moment to explain why this is such a tragedy.

This is REALLY IMPORTANT guys. AO3 is so special as a platform. Don’t get suckered in by shiny features or whatever!

[thenerdyindividual]

If you don’t feel like reading after the read more, here is the most important stand out of Kindle World’s TOS.

“By using the platform, authors give all rights to the work to Amazon, who can then license your elements to other authors with no compensation to the original poster.”

If you want to retain rights to your work, don’t use this site. Stick to AO3.

Tags on tumblr posts were one thing, but fucking huge content warnings for the word queer (in a completely non-slur context, with no other content warnings given for anything else) in front of tiktoks and youtube videos by popular creators is not it.

Don’t bother reblogging this if you’re going to tag it q-slur.

[ittybittytatertot]

I need people who don’t ID as queer to imagine clicking on a tiktok compilation only for the first words to be “Trigger Warning: the word Lesbian” or “Gay” or “Transgender” and then the video goes on to just be…funny videos.

And then the actual use of words lesbian or gay or transgender are all positive meanwhile there are depictions/descriptions of alcohol, bullying, car crashes, or worse, none of which were content warned for.

Like…do you understand how it feels to be treated as so illicit and other and uncomfortable that people need to be warned of your label being mentioned. Of people like you who ID with that label using it in a positive manner. Please just let queer people exist.
