All fantasy authors wish they had a bigger bathtub in their house. You can tell by every bathing scene ever written into a fantasy novel

It's wild to watch the phrase "tumblr sexyman" morph into "man that tumblr thinks is sexy," because when I first saw the phrase come into use, I always saw it used in reference to the phenomenon of "when presented with a wide array of fictional characters, tumblr will always pick the skinny white man to obsess over, and if the fan-favorite character has no canonical human appearance, the fandom will inevitably create a popular fanon of the character as as a skinny white man."

When I hear "tumblr sexyman," I think of Cecil Night Vale being constantly depicted as a skinny white man instead of literally anything else. I think of the background character white men who get elevated over protagonists that are women, people of color, or otherwise not the white man power fantasy.

"Tumblr sexyman" is, like. An insult. I DON'T want any of my blorbos to win a "tumblr sexyman" poll. "Tumblr sexyman" is the exact opposite of what I want my own OCs to be. If any of my characters ever get called "tumblr sexyman," I will have to immediately re-evaluate myself and the art I'm making.

STOP the "grimdark muddy and grey medievalism film about a white dude doing some bullshit" industrial complex. WHERE is the Questing Beast WHERE are the cool women WHERE are the people of color WHERE is the fun and whimsy and fantastical

Just so we’re clear, movies that are only 15 years old do not need a remake. And movies that are only 10 years old definitely don’t need a remake

[queer-ragnelle]

And most movies never need a remake!

loved the very specific fuckery with "gendered" terms this chapter

reminder that gendered terms should be fucked with as often as possible and aren't cages you need to lock yourself or anyone else in

ROUND 1 — Match 248 of 276

Felix Fraldarius (Fire Emblem: Three Houses)

Problematic because: "He calls Dimitri a “boar” and a “beast” constantly, which isn’t just teasing when Dimitri is visibly deteriorating. He calls Dedue a “dog,” “lapdog,” and “rabid cur,” even while Dedue is talking about Faerghus destroying his home and killing his family (which lowkey has quite racist connotations because Dedue is a black man and he constantly compares him to an uncontrollable animal and lapdog for the white prince). He tells Ingrid to “go find a husband” when she’s trying to talk about duty and knighthood. A lot of his criticism is aimed at real problems, but he says it so cruelly." Propaganda: 1. "He’s not wrong, and that makes how unpleasant he is much more interesting. He sees through the Kingdom’s obsession with honour and knighthood better than almost anyone else in the Blue Lions. He understands that saying Glenn “died like a true knight” doesn’t make Glenn any less dead, and he clocks Dimitri’s violence long before the rest of the route is ready to admit how bad it is. But he’s also cruel. Not in a fun banter way all the time, either. Sometimes he’s just lashing out because he’s hurt and because saying the ugliest version of the truth feels safer than admitting he’s scared of losing people again. I like him because he’s both the person cutting through Faerghus’ nonsense and someone who has absolutely not escaped it himself. He hates romanticised violence, then builds his entire identity around the blade." 2. "felix is such a good little nightmare because he’s right and still makes you want to tell him to shut up. faerghus DOES have a death cult in knight armour problem. dimitri IS terrifying. glenn’s death SHOULD NOT have been turned into some noble bedtime story. and then felix says all of that by insulting everyone’s deepest trauma at breakfast. he’s not the nice blunt friend. he’s the “correct but at what cost” friend. love him." 3. "This man has never once thought “maybe i should phrase this gently” and honestly the Blue Lions needed that problem. Is he being helpful? Sometimes. Is he being nice? Almost never. He’s grieving, angry, rude, painfully loyal in ways he refuses to admit, and so allergic to sentiment that he’ll say something horrible just to avoid saying he cares. He can see everyone else’s coping mechanisms from a mile away and somehow thinks his own obsession with training is just normal hobbies."

vs. Vriska Serket (Homestuck)

Problematic because: "Paralyzed a guy by mind controlling him to jump off a cliff and proceeded to abuse him verbally and physically, culminating in her killing him. Fed hundreds of kids to a giant spider. Mind controlled a guy into killing his gf. Generally kinda rude and unpleasant. Hates even on her alternate self for getting better." Propaganda: "I think her character is very compelling and a lot of the things are not justified but made actually pretty understandable by her backstory and horrible life. Some of the things she does are because of outside influence, others are a horribly misguided attempt to help (The road to hell, amirite…). I think that she has a lot of potential to harm and heal, and I'd both love to see her get better and worse. Also she's awesome and has aura. And she's a 13 year old living in a murder society with a kid eating mom and an omnipotent groomer. Vriska Serket, everyone!!!!!!!!"

Who should advance?

Felix Fraldarius

Vriska Serket

I worry a little bit that people who refuse to learn about ai as a part of their anti ai position are going to be extremely unprepared to understand what’s actually scary about it and already have their digital literacy at risk tbh

[amanitaphalloides]

not that I am some genius in this regard but if you follow ai developments even slightly you might change the things you are most worried about. do people know the extent to which ai is already eating itself and how meaningless this is making swaths of the internet. do people know that there are plenty of random mid-sized companies today buying their employees’ likenesses to create digital clones and using these to make hundreds of videos. I am so much more worried about labor and surveillance and abuse than people becoming lazy about writing emails. and idk man I sort of like and respect people who are willfully ignorant about it as a way of minimizing its force in their lives and I am in some ways jealous but also when I see posts that basically still boil down to “chatgpt will never fool me” I am like 😭😭😭 for one thing not the only thing to be concerned about, for another thing I am really sorry but I don’t think you’re right
