And people really do try to interact with fandom like consumers! They want « content ». They act like they can get a refund on reading a fic they don’t like. They add fanfics to goddamned goodreads without a second thought without realizing that’s as ridiculous as adding your friend’s dining room as a restaurant on yelp just so you can post a review about it

[cyanwrites]

'Fandom' is a contraction of 'fanatic' and 'kingdom'.

Fanatic, from Latin fanaticus "mad, enthusiastic, inspired by a god."

Fandom is literally the place people go to be enthusiastically crazy about their blorbos! There are no normal people here!

Treating fandom like retail never does good things.

Friends, Tumblrs, countrynerds, lend me your puns

My sister is qualified as a human givens therapist/counsellor, and wants to start her own business. She's currently trying to think of a name for said business

She saw a therapy company called Practically Minded and fucking loved that, so that's the vibe we're after. A tasteful pun, ideally that stresses how human givens stuff is all about coming up with practical solutions (apparently; I don't know much about it)

My BIL, a man of otherwise good character and intellect, suggested she ask AI for a list. On principle she immediately asked me instead. I figured I'd throw it open to the pun machine that is Tumblr, to harness the collective power of human brains.

So! What do we reckon? Any thoughts?

it wants to be close to me. probably because it is so cold and soft & it knows i am strong and warm

Bothers me when the distinction between Witch and Wizard is drawn according to gender. The Witch/Wizard distinction is one of class. Wizards live in towers and have cursed artifacts. Witches live in shacks and have crooked teeth.

[draconym]

Both witches and wizards can be evil, of course. But when a witch is evil they turn you into a frog. When a wizard is evil they try to tear a hole in reality or raise an undead army. You don't see witches doing that shit because they're working class.

[ecoeschatologist]

The witch is looked down upon because they are competition to the hierarchical work of wizardry; they present an alternative to state monopoly on magic.

[draconym]

Absolutely. Witches perform folk magic--you'd never catch a wizard getting overly preoccupied with practical magic like soothing ulcers or curing the flu, but witches are always brewing up stuff for those kinds of reasons.

Magic is like programming. When it's seen as practical and tedious, it's "women's work." When it's seen as academic and intellectual, you get a huge salary and an audience with the king.

I really wish the overused sentence “You either die a hero, or live long enough to see yourself become the villain.” was less relevant but here we are

people vaguely saying 'the horrors' as shorthand for 'life problems, don't worry about it' in conversations where the problems are not going to be delved into has got to be one of my favorite new Ways Of Speaking that has emerged. like it's polite and vague and succinct enough for impersonal conversation but also extremely honest. it's very funny. The Horrors. we all know of them.
