My toxic fandom take is that I think that it's awful how much we can talk to creators and get answers from them word of god style. We should be out here in a godless place rooting for scraps of lore in the media like truffle pigs out in the fields
okay so the problem with nonfags' analysis of homoeroticism in art is that most of you are very very bad at recognizing actual homoeroticism. I say this as a gay man.
like most of what you guys think is homoeroticism is actually just "gay bravado", which is a process where straight men ritually reinforce their own heterosexuality by joking about gay sex with each other. It's a form of homophobia. The joke is that gay sex is repulsive, bizarre, and inconceivable for them to actually engage in. it's incredibly common and I can't believe we're still having this discussion honestly
no no this is an excellent addition thank you
why i never

āYou are responsible for the minors in your fandom!!!ā
No, Iām fucking not. Iām not your parent. My past-times do not automatically sign me up to act in loco parentis. If you need someone else to monitor your own content consumption online, go get mommy and/or daddy to set up a content blocker on your computer.
Louder for the minors in the back, please.
What Iām responsible for in my fandom:
1. Making a good faith effort to include relevant and informative tags and labels on my creative works.
2. Making a good faith effort to use the āauthor chose not to warnā rating, aĀ ācontains potentially upsetting contentā note, cuts or community ratings, or otherwise indicating that there might be untagged, triggering content if Iām not up to or donāt want to tag it.
3. Being a good fandom citizen; not sending death threats or hate, not bullying people, being kind and thoughtful to those I interact with, and leaving alone things that would prompt me to act otherwise.
4. Curating my own experience; not engaging with people or material that I know will be harmful or upsetting to me, disengaging when I realize that something is harmful or upsetting to me, and using tools such as blocklists and tag filters to hide content I donāt want to see.
5. Doing the opposite of whatever the fuck bullshit is going on in tiktok at all times.
Being a good fandom citizen; not sending death threats or hate, not bullying people, being kind and thoughtful to those I interact with, and leaving alone things that would prompt me to act otherwise.
It is simply JUST that easy. All the fandom shit exists because people choose to behave badly and itās too often younger ones holding fandom spaces as societal influence & activism spaces instead of a HOBBY SPACES.
iāve warmed up significantly towards the concept of small talk ever since i learned that its sole purpose is to make friendly noises.
as long as you smile and nod, people are satisfied. itās just to show that you are nice and there with good intentions. weāre small in a big world and have to rely on other people to be decent to us. so we do our little human dance to each other to say, āiām not here to hurt you. hereās something we have in common, like the weather or sports or itchy sweaters, so we both know weāre on the same team. we both agree on a basic fact, like that it is rainy or that being itchy is uncomfortable, and this proves we can get along. iām being light-hearted and non-threatening right now.ā
small talk isnāt to get to know a person. itās just a greeting to affirm youāre buddies in the universe.
i am motivated by wanting the other person to know i am friendly, so i have gotten pretty decent at small talk when i used to hate it.
ive always been willing to die on the hill of cis women being able to beat cis men in sports so nobody will ever ever make me concerned about trans women in womens sports even if i was delusional enough to believe that was a comparable situation. do i think a cis woman could beat a trans woman in fucking pickleball or whatever? Buddy I think a cis woman could beat a cis male bodybuilder in sports. You will not get me
many people in these notes are revealing how they truly don't believe afab people are capable of beating amab people at Any sports due to their fragile bird bones delicate skin and and trying to make it seem like i'm feeding afab people to lions in the coliseum. you people are not only wrong but more importantly you are Stupidt
this person has so many all timers itās insane
hey there welcome to superpower school, where we teach you to use your dangerous superpowers in a school-like environment. here's your syllabus. as you can see, this class will consistent entirely of occasional world building lectures of no use to anyone who has actually lived in this world for more than a day, and unsupervised practical assignments that place your life and the lives of everyone near you at risk. also we have a tournament arc in around 50 chapters that will inevitably be rife with cheating and will be infiltrated by people who actually for real want to kill you. grading will be on a curve.
see all of these choices make sense when writing a story for loads of reasons but i'm a pervert and i would actually be more interested if the series was just a 1:1 documentation of a series of classes about the economic, political, and ethical questions and after-effects of superpowers.

I said something to the baby about something that happened "yesterday" and he got this really pensive look and thought for a minute and then said "auntie mac, is 'yesterday' a permanent day of the week?"
and I was like "you mean like monday and tuesday?" and he said "yeah. is it always a certain day?"
and I said "no, it moves all around! any day of the week could be yesterday, depending on what today is"
and he got REALLY lost in thought about that for a second until his little cousin broke his concentration by whacking him with a pool noodle
Since itās Holocaust Remembrance Day, Iām gonna circulate this site again.
Illuminate is a Holocaust remembrance and education initiative. Please take time to #RememberOne victim and join our global community.
I remember first discovering this site five or six years ago and they havenāt even cracked a million names yet. I think itās a really wonderful memorial that emphasizes each name as an individual rather than just a statistic and doubles as a teaching moment to show the sheer devastation to the global Jewish community and emphasize exactly how large a number six million is.
[ID: A screenshot from the website at 973,350 people remembered. The text says, "You have the unique honor of remembering Ruzena Herskovicova of blessed memory. Born 1904 in unknown place, Ruzena was killed in the Holocause at the approximate age of 39." Under the text is the image of a candle. End ID.]
Winter Driving Tips from Your Internet Brother:
Make time to scrape off your car before you go. Scrape off all of your car. This means the roof and the rear windshield as well.
If the road looks wet but youāre not sure if thereās black ice, look at the wheels of the car in front of you. If you can see droplets flinging up, the water on the road is not frozen.
Your stopping distance will increase exponentially with how bad the weather is. Give yourself at least twice as much room to stop as you normally would.
If your car is going out of control and you HAVE to hit something, aim for something soft (snowbanks are softer than trees) and hit that thing at an angle.
Never get in the car without a coat, hat, and gloves.
If your car is out of control, look and steer where you want your car to go.
Take your car to an empty parking lot with snow in it and purposefully lose control. This will teach you how to handle your car.
If your car is real wheel drive, put something heavy in the trunk to give you better traction.
Take 5mph off the speed limit for bad weather, 10mph off for really bad weather.
For automatic transmission cars, the N in PRNDL stands for Neutral. This is the gear that your car should be in if you are trying to push it.
If you need to use your windshield wipers, your headlights also need to be on.
This button is your defroster:Ā
Please use your defroster if your windows are fogging up.
Ultimately, please just stay safe. Do these things not only for yourself, but to protect others on the road.

Reblogging this with:
If you are storing your car outdoors during the winter and it is cold, you need to drive your car regularly to preserve the battery.
Open spaces are the most dangerous because the wind will blow snow onto the road. Beware of farm fields, etc.
Donāt use your high beams when itās snowing. The falling snow will reflect the headlights back into your eyes.
If you need to go down an icy hill, put your car in neutral. That way your brakes will not be fighting the power of the engine. If you forget to put it back into drive at the bottom of the hill, your car will tell you.
When braking, you should not only allow much more distance for braking (as above) but also lightly, rapidly, and repeatedly tap the brake pedal with your foot. This is called feathering the brakes. Even if you have anti-lock brakes, feather them. Source: Personal experience.
DO. NOT. GO. FAST.
If your car begins to swerve and/or spin, do not use either the accelerator or the brakes. Doing either will put more energy into the situation and you will swerve and/or spin more. Which way is the butt of the car going? Turn your wheel in that direction a little bit at a time. Let the car slow down on its own. Unless it is headed toward your doom, do not get out. You are safest inside its crash protection. (Not applicable to Tesla vehicles, antique cars, or anything that is on fire. Do not drive any of those three in icy winter conditions.)
When you can feel that the car is once again on Not Ice, assess the situation. If it is safe to drive away, accelerate very gradually and turn gently. Pretend you are transporting an assembled wedding cake.
Even if the rest of the highway is not icy, the bridge or overpass will be icy. Drive accordingly.
Do you absolutely have to go out when you may need the above tips? Always ask yourself this question.
Also, and this is the key one from my dad that I never hear on these kinds of posts, if you live somewhere with hhills - and I mean real hills not vague inclines - you are not getting up those unless you are going a minimum of 30. Youāll stall at best and spin at worst because youāre not building enough momentum to defeat the slide. This is the wisdom of the Cascades ski driver.

Things to keep in your car in the winter:
windshield scraper small folding shovel non-clumping cat litter Blanket Gloves Socks Dry food (like granola bars) A light Basically, you want to be prepared to be stuck for a while, just in case.

THE ARISTOCATS (1970) Dir. Wolfgang Reitherman
new saw drinking game: put on any saw movie (one of the later ones recommended, but you do you). every time thereās a trap with a time limit, you have from when the tape ends to when the victim fails/passes their trap to complete a level of a water sort game (or puzzle game of your choice). if you do it within the time limit, you won, and now you appreciate your life. you get a point. if you do not do it within the time limit, you have failed. finish your drink. the person with the most points at the end of the movie is jigsawās apprentice for the night and gets to saw trap one person (a regular dare, but you have to phrase it in the form of a saw trap tape.) iām calling it liver die and the hardest part will be convincing people to watch a saw movie with me.
