tv taught me how to feel @queenerdloser - Tumblr Blog

i'm going to be so honest, it's actively insane to me how much thought people put into fics before they read them. like some of y'all will be out here checking kudos to hits ratios for your fics, whereas i have, on multiple occasions, read several fics by the same author and didn't realize it until i went to their page to see what else they'd written only to discover i'd actually read all of their fics already without realizing they were all by the same person. truly i will look at nothing but a summary and maybe the tags and i'm not saying my method is better, but the fact is that i think of of y'all could benefit from my diving headfirst strategy.

#genuinely half the time i'm not even looking at author names #i look at the summary and based on the vibe from that i will either click on it or check the tags #and then i either skip it or give it a try #i've never looked at kudos numbers in my life to decide on a fic to read lmao #i do sort by bookmarks when i'm first entering a fandom tho /shrugs #bookmarks are how i mark everything i love so that's king to me over kudos to hit ratios or w/e the fuck #but esp in a new fandom i go wayyyy deep in the pages lmao #anyway to me this is the fic equivalent of people requiring i read their dni or their entire posting history before reblogging a shitpost #like i am Not Doing All of That. who gives a shit how many other people liked this fic #what matters is if i like the fic or not and the only way to know that is to read it #even my bookmark sorting doesnt help with this - there are many fandoms where the top fics are ones i immediately exited out of #and there are fics who have basically no hits that i have read multiple times #so i do think relying on kudos to hits or comment amounts or whatever other algorithm youre applying #is just. not worth the effort tbh.

“fujoshis are harmful to gay men” not this gay man.

on twitter this got a bunch of responses like “wow even the evil fujoshis? the homophobic yet hypocritically fetishistic ones? what if the fujoshi is racist?” and like well no obviously not in that case.

if i dont respond to a message from you i can basically guarantee its not because i dislike you. im just getting attacked by imps and shit all the time genuinely.

I get in theory why people complain about het ships or whatever, I get wanting to watch queer media I really do, but I guess where y’all lose me is like. I saw some asshole on a post about Sinners complaining it was “hetslop”—this person was specifically doing so while also claiming Remmick was a queer character and thus they were justified in caring more about him than the Black protagonists. which is a whole other disgusting can of worms that has been well addressed by others at this point. but even in the absence of that part of the argument, like, no, i actually don’t think that a hunger for queer stories is an especially good excuse to deride and dismiss a piece of landmark Black filmmaking, especially as a non-Black person. I have a post that’s been going around encouraging folks to engage with more Native stories and characters, and I had someone come onto that post saying in the tags that they’d need these stories to be queer in order to care. and I just think that, you know, sucks! like obviously as a queer Native I also want to see more of those stories too. but idk how else to put it other than to say that Black people and people of color shouldn’t have to be like you in order for you to care about our narratives and experiences. and I think some of y’all are using this disdain for heterosexuality as a cover for your unexamined racial biases. it’s not okay to be racist to people just because those people happen to be straight, and you continue to be white before you are queer.

on an even more basic level than that, also, I simply just think some of y’all NEED to learn how to interact with media and storytelling without ships and fandom in mind. like if not being able to write fic about two men kissing is genuinely going to be a dealbreaker for you I think that’s actually something you need to work on within yourself because at that point I think you’re no longer really interacting with art and themes and narrative so much as just kind of playing with toys. which is, like, fine I guess. have fun. but it wouldn’t kill you to disengage from that from time to time. especially if would allow you to actually appreciate rich and deeply moving cultural stories from communities of color that you desperately need to learn how to see as human

If your business can only be reached and all info about it only be accessed via Facebook or Instagram, know that it isn’t reachable or accessible AT ALL.

The whole metaverse can no longer be properly viewed without an account and I am definitely not making one just to see your contact info or opening hours.

Get a fucking WEBSITE. It can be just a static landing page with the relevant information. But get off the metaverse!

#yeah like. get a website or perish by my sword idk

Apparently there was a jewelry trend in like, the 20s-40s to have an onyx ring with a small diamond "floating" on the onyx and I could never afford one but I think they're so cunty. Especially when the diamond is off center. Reminds me of Marilyn Monroe's beauty mark

oh you’re neurodivergent? what non-human being did you pretend to be / believe yourself to be in order to cope with the disconnect you felt from your peers during your early childhood?
