sent this message to my coworker today and he sent me this screenshot with microsoft teams's suggested replies... incredible 10/10 no notes.
one of the funnier incidents of me assuming someone knew a meme irl was when a new coworker was talking about some woman who got arrested for tax fraud and I went "God forbid women do anything" and he got scared and thought I was accusing him of being sexist, so he started apologizing and saying how tax fraud isn't even bad, actually.
“bits to use in everyday conversations”
i need to come up with a way to say “i mean like, movies for grownups” that doesn’t make me feel like a villain
*peeks in the replies* *gets really nervous and locks my house up and leaves*
well, i mean more like La Piscine or Mulholland Drive,
i think i am going insane
Apparently it is impossible for Tumblr users to think of a not ageist way to describe their tastes, because everything must always be compared to how inferior children are -- despite the fact that it is pretty much never the choice of any child or children when media aimed at them is dumbed down etc.
Things when bad: kids and children are involved!
Things when good: this is very Adult this is specifically Adult only Adults can understand or want this
i literally just don’t want to watch Kung Fu Panda
okay we’ve come all the way back around. let’s pack this up. this post is done. “who asked” you just walked into my post that i made on my blog..? who asked YOU?? am i losing my fucking mind?????
"I want to watch movies where the writers assume the audience can handle complex themes and sensitive material."
"Do you mean porn? Or are you being ageist? You're ageist if you don't like Kung Fu Panda."
orufrey yuri for those who celebrate
The first 1-2 pages of All Systems Red, inspired by @nothingiswrongwithyourarmrests's post about how tmbd should have been adapted into a graphic novel.
Version where every tab is readable below the cut, because I spent way too much time on those things for no one to be able to see them
Having a "stupider people have done this" attitude about the things you want to do can open so many doors
For speed runners, this is canon.
✨Magic bearers✨
The lantern bearers by Maxfield Parrish is one of my favourite paintings, and I was very excited to draw this fanart version when since it came to my mind. I’m very happy with the result!!
Also, this is something I’m trying for the first time, but you can find a time lapse process video under the cut :)
Yeah quiet quitting is great and all but have you tried chaotic working?
Like. I remember back in my grocery store cashier days I did so much crazy shit.
When WIC (Women, infants, and children voucher program to help low income mothers/families with children) people were in my line I would pretty much know who they were. Before the cards they had to tell us upfront they were WIC and show us their vouchers for what they were allowed to get (it was awful some times. Like. 2 gallons of milk. $4 worth of vegetables etc etc). They’d always have items hanging back, waiting to see what the total was and if they would have to take it off the belt.
I began to place the fruits/vegetables a certain way on the register scale so that like 1/2lbs of grapes read as like .28lbs or something. Then act shocked when I said that they still had X amount of lbs left. They got all their fruit and vegetables.
I think it started to kinda? Catch on to the women? Because I would have the same moms in my line month after month. And even after they switched to the cards (they worked like food stamp cards?) I’d still do the same thing. They were able to get more produce for whatever shitty max amount Indiana gave them.
Anyways. Be chaotic. It’s more fun that way.
susie prize (real)
at this point no one can tell me agott doesn’t have a crush on coco bc it just keeps getting louder and louder. your honour that is a baby gay if i ever saw one
touched up an old drawing after the newest episode of the anime
Best one shot I've ever read lmao
(By the excellent @motleyfam )
Holy shit
[image 1: AO3 chapter note that reads, "So as we all know from math class, '5/5' is just a fancy way of saying '1', meaning this story is most definitely still a oneshot 😌". image 2: AO3 chapter note that reads, "The funny thing about fractions is that, mathematically speaking, there is no difference between 5/5 and 6/6 (except for my sanity)".]
that's... not how it works. you can't guarantee that your work definitely won't squick anyone. what do you think you're saying?
"squick free" someone writes on their wholesome family fic about married characters expecting a baby.
I read it and am extremely squicked.
You do not know what squicks other people. "Squick" is not a category of elements, it is a description of a reaction.
Squick is literally a personal thing, you literally cannot know what squicks another person.
Same goes for triggers, by the way. You can't guarantee something is trigger-free because literally anything can be a trigger because the human brain can be weird like that sometimes.
No no, actually there's a perfect way to write an absolutely squick free fanfic! Plenty of writers do it successfully every day!
Here.
Blank documents squick me out because they remind me of all my unstarted writing projects. :/
guys. c'mon.
oh my goddd
Okay, for anyone ACTUALLY unsure and wanting to learn: "squick" is an old fandom term. It means something that grosses you out or makes you deeply uncomfortable, but doesn't give you as intense negative reactions as a trigger. They are incredibly personal, though often times, just like with triggers, you can tag relatively common squicks.
For me, mpreg is a squick. It makes me deeply uncomfortable, but it doesn't send me into a panic spiral, a deep depression, or make me angry like reading about eye trauma does.
My cousins in Lannister, ‘squick’ didn’t even originate in fandom.
Also useful to note that ‘squick’ is specifically used to mean “this isn’t for me, personally” without adding a moral judgement to it. A simple easy way to say ‘no, thank you but you do you’. Unlike ‘cringe’ which has negative connotations. Squicks are also more than just uncomfortable.
Daddy kink makes me uncomfortable
Degradation squicks me out
Hand trauma is a trigger
First known usage of "squick" was in 1991. It's not some new term that was made up for this post.
It's a portmanteau of Squeamish and Ick.
Modern parlance would translate it as "A thing that gives me the ick"
Hope this helps, kids ignorant of and derisive towards fandom history.
'Squick' is the word we need to be bringing back for all the people who have misappropriated the term trigger, because they do not know that words mean things, and that those meanings are very important to keep distinct.
