Fanfiction is cool because you get to learn what other people's parents taught them the hymen is like

I know that I had somewhat unusually comprehensive sex ed but it still surprises me every time I'm reminded that some people genuinely think that losing your virginity is a capri sun kind of situation.

What is a Big Bang?

It’s a collaborative event that takes place over several months, where authors write a fic, and artists and musicians are paired with authors to create art based on those fics. Everything is posted during the last week, creating the big bang of content for which the event is named.

Authors have been toiling away since March, and it's time for artists and musicians to join us!

What do artists and musicians need to know?

You can only sign up as either an artist or a musician, not both

All are welcome regardless of skill level.

All works must follow the art and music guidelines in our info doc.

happy pride month! friendly reminder that a lot of societal biases and prejudices that affect aros and aces also affect allo people, and fighting for awareness and acceptance of aspec identities is also a fight for and alongside every allo person who's never fit into the amatonormative relationship structure, and been dismissed, questioned, or laughed at for how they choose to live their life. this is a fight for the acceptance of everyone, aspec and not, who wants to stay single and has never needed to search for "The One". for everyone who's never felt the want for a conventional romantic or sexual relationship, or marriage and a nuclear family. for everyone who refuses to automatically deprioritize their friends and lifelong bonds in lieu of a romantic and/or sexual partner. for everyone who trusts in a friend or someone who isn't their spouse/partner to make decisions for their life and death, and wants the right for that to be legally reflected.

aphobia is stupid when amatonormativity shapes and influences how we all lead our lives and maintain (or ignore) our social bonds with others, regardless of if we're aware of it or not. pushing back on it means everyone can go through their days a little more peacefully, without the vice of social pressures insisting that they have to have certain types of relationships, and hold certain ideas about them in order to be seen as a fulfilled person. i don't know exactly where this post is going, but to every allo person out there: be nice to the aspecs in your life and try to understand their lives a little more. be an ally

For those who don't know: Ikumi Nakamura is the woman who was senior artist on Bayonetta, and designed the titular character along with Hideki Kamiya. Their greatest moment of bonding was over their insistence that Bayonetta keep her glasses on at all times. Nakamura cannot go to horny jail. She is the warden.

[shutyourmoustache]

This is the sorta segment I wish still existed in kids’ shows. Soothing voiceover, mellow music, no flashy graphics. Just a calm behind-the-scenes look at something you might call mundane but that most of us would never have a clue about if no one pulled the curtain back to reveal its inner workings.

[fangirl-overload13]

Okay but imagine being in kindergarten and seeing something like this, you would absolutely change your mind about wanting to be a fire fighter or teacher or whatever Job you've been told is cool and possible to grow up to do because wait a minute it's just like play-doh, there's so much it's kept in trash cans, you can use your hands to smear icing everywhere? It smells like cinnamon buns all the time?! Yes please!

[shutyourmoustache]

I vaguely remember having a field trip to a bakery in kindergarten and thinking croissants were magical and that I wanted to make them in the future cuz kneading dough looked fun.

[vodkassassin]

i should have gone to bed hours ago damn

[aholefilledwithtwigs]

I have never read or watched Death Note and i know the whole ‘book that kills people’ premise but from all the shit i see on here it seems to be two teenaged boys acting out this scene over and over

[thevulturesquadron]

text: [ “Some of you have forgotten that only three years ago you were perfectly capable of writing an essay, writing a eulogy, telling a bedtime story to a child, and it should worry you that powerful companies have convinced us we can’t do things we’ve been doing for 5000 years.” ]

[rudjedet]

And they're absolutely specifically pushing it, make no mistake. It's not just a matter of "it's there, it's convenient, so people are going to take the path of the least resistance", it is a legitimate and concerted effort on the part of these companies to get people to outsource all these things to their models.

They're preying on insecurities to do it. Yes, you can write an essay - but can you write a good essay, they ask you. Do you not want to improve your output? Do you not want people to think of you as competent and very clever? Why go through the mortifying process of failing and failing and failing until you succeed if you can just skip the "learning" part of doing, and simply generate a ready-made product?

I'm preaching to the choir here obviously but it's a concerning thing to witness nonetheless. My kid is 6 next week and I've been teaching her that failing at things is morally neutral and in fact necessary even before the advent of AI, but it's becoming ever more important that we teach the kids that criticism and failure and discomfort aren't necessarily bad things, but just a part of the growth process.

AI companies are heavily invested in making themselves relevant. They want people to believe they can't do the things they have done unaided before and to make them become reliant on the AI models, so the AI models' existence is artificially justified.
