there will never be anything as funny as the mutual disbelief between long form and short form fic writers about each other's style.

short form writers look at people writing 100k+ fics as though this is some sort of talent given as part of a fae bargain, that the commitment required shows some sort of ungodly mental fortitude.

meanwhile long form writers look at people writing 1000 word one shots like god I would cut off my left nipple to be able to say anything concisely. i would love to play with multiple ideas. free me from the shackles of this child I have birthed. i love them but I now must take them to t-ball and doctor's appointments and they're going to destroy everything I own.

I dreamt that there was a new meme that went, “If I dids it, I dids it. If I didsn’t, I didsn’t.” There was a third line, but I forgot what it was.

[nifeandaccurate]

happy to report i’m back on my bullshit

and a rare variant

[levourdalak]

HOW DID YOU KNOW THEY WERE CAT MEMES IN MY DREAM

[nifeandaccurate]

trans rights (and wrongs) seagull illustrations— inspired by @citizen.reid’s video (on TikTok and insta) of a seagull with a trans flag!!

I may add this to my shop if there’s enough interest! :)

Friendly reminder that Popeye is bigender, because their gender is "amphibious".

And when the official Popeye Twitter account was asked what Popeye's pronouns were, Popeye answered:

I ain't use pronouns on account o' all me nouns are amateurs!

Popeye is a non-binary icon, and that's a fact.

[tuttle-did-it]

Okay, lads.

Who knew Popeye was one of us and didn't bother to fucking tell me

[derinthescarletpescatarian]

"Most grandmothers are" FUCKING SAVAGE

[katzedecimal]

These are from E. C. Segar, too, the inventor of Popeye. Nor was it a one-off; it was referenced many, many times throughout the original run of the strip before Segar's death. E. C. Segar meant for Popeye to be canon non-binary.

I drew it

[biggest-gaudiest-poltergeist]

no more historic events this decade that is ENOUGH, i’m putting my foot down

[alettertofutureme]

History is not done with us yet my friend

[biggest-gaudiest-poltergeist]

I have received all manner of threat, up to and beyond “I will play a flute carved from your femur,” and yet this is the first time I’ve felt truly threatened

[biggest-gaudiest-poltergeist]

i knew posting this in 2022 was risky but holy fucking shit

[illinicoise]

“But if you forget to reblog Madame Zeroni, you and your family will be cursed for always and eternity.”

[spn-fandom-breathing-heavily]

not even risking that shit

[codyslipring-deactivated2015060]

[tumblgang]

She ain’t no games in real life so I take her serious all the time

Anyone with a name that starts with a “Z”, ends with an “i”, and isn’t some kind of Italian pasta, IS SERIOUS

I’m not climbing no mountain with a pig on my back, 🙅🏽🙅🏾🙅🏿 Negative.

[skuubasally]

Nope. I know better, have your reblog Madame Zeroni.

[luckytaters]

[saudadesinfinitas-deactivated20]

Look at these stupid children who don’t know who Madame Zeroni is

[drayaintshit-deactivated2019030]

[callmedeku24]

Man lissen if you don’t know you better ask somebody AFTER you hit the reblog button

[emeraldmercury]

[haiku-robot]

^Haiku^bot^0.4. Sometimes I do stupid things (but I have improved with syllables!). Beep-boop!

[jacobmick]

[seymonecristina]

[blackgirlart]

I think I’m literally never gonna be sick of this masterpiece. I think watching it on a loop for eight hours could fix me. Dancing’s what clears my soul. Dancing’s what makes me whole.

[dimmadoome]

I just love that this very video is an accumulation of thousands of years worth of art made by people who have never met each other. The concept of this video was so completely unfathomable to every single artist who made the sculptures and yet they’ve all put something toward the creation of it.

[motherfuckingshakespeare]

A HANDY CHART FOR THOSE OF YOU WONDERING WHAT THE FUCK IS UP WITH THESE. NOTE THAT THESE ARE ALL THE INFORMAL AND YOU IS THE FORMAL SO LIKE YOU WOULD ALWAYS ADDRESS YOUR SUPERIOR/ OLDER PERSON/ SOCIAL BETTER WITH YOU BUT WITH YOUR BUDS YOU CAN USE THESE. 

[heroineimages]

I’m not sure I knew the thy/thine distinction. Thanks for this!

[notpotable]

To take it a step further into the grammar, you do NOT make the verbs into funny "-st" endings for ANYthing other than "thou", and unless you're confident, it's better not to try.

Think of the grammar mirroring German grammar: du kannst -> thou canst. But never "you canst", "we canst", "I canst", no no no

thou goest, but you go, we go, I go, s/he goes

thou shouldst, but you should, we should, I should, s/he should

thou mayest, but you may, we may, I may, s/he may, etc

If you do not think this is eventually the aim for a lot of the AI space right now, a bsky post by Dr Lindsey Fitzharris today:

A company reached out to me on IG, linking me to an AI version of myself. You can even ask "me" questions. They are also advertising it using an AI photo of me. They told me if I like it, they will give me free access… to my own fucking content that they stole. /1

...I found the “girl falls into middle earth” fic I wrote when I was 11

[crutchie-morris]

op how does it feel to have been the funniest person alive at age eleven

[jacketslutjayse]

[ID: several screenshotted excerpts from the aforementioned fic:

Indistinct green shapes swirled overhead. The world seemed to be screened from me by a thick haze of fog and confusion. This smelled of craniocerebral trauma,

He had wavy shoulder-length brown hair and large brown eyes. I guess he'd be considered hot if you were into that sort of thing (which I wasn't) and by that sort of thing I mean men.

the hoppits

"You're the most gorgeous girl in the world," Legolas said. "You're a liar and also a creep" I responded and then I slapped him across the face.

I wish Boromir was my dad.

In the end they sent me to live out my days on a small farm in the middle of nowhere. It suited my tastes.

It's my 14 year anniversary on Tumblr 🥳

Elfbruary Day 8: Arwen the Smith

I noticed in my recent reread that the banner Arwen makes isn't described as embroidered or woven. It's described as "made" and "wrought." Words Tolkien uses for things made through smithcraft. And the materials mentioned for the banner are metals, not any specific cloth.

And then I remembered both the brooch she left for Aragorn in Lothlorien and that it isn't mentioned who reforged Narsil. Arwen is associated with smithcraft, so why not her? :)
