She/They Rocky

[rockcattomato]

Hello!!

Hi there. I’m Rocky, and this is my intro post. I tend to use she/they pronouns.

I’m into hermitcraft/life series/empires type people, as well as tma, d20, the locked tomb, and various other things.

I’m big on trafficshipping, and will ship practically anything if given the chance.

People are pretty cool and I like to talk to them.

I am happily taking writing requests :)

I write quite a bit on my ao3 and you can find my fic master post here.

I use the tags #rocky writes #rocky speaks and #rocky answers

This is literally what people are talking about when they say AI will be used to mainstream widely held bigotry. LLMs are trained on frequency and probability -> straight relationships are more well represented in the dataset -> straight pronouns and terms become the "correct" normal.

This is a form of backdoor bigotry from both normative facts (there are more straight than gay relationships) and well represented bigoted beliefs (men are superior to women).

Combine this with the mass of people inclined to believe (and being encouraged to believe) that if AI says and does something it must be correct

I often think about that post that was a fake dating profile for a cat that was all about chickens, like wanting someone with posable thumbs for opening chickens.

[notogdenjesse]

This is one my favourite things the internet has ever made.

This remains one of the great art objects of modern times and nobody will convince me otherwise.

I avoid heights and it’s not because I’m afraid of heights, it’s actually the opposite. The call of the void gets a little too loud.

i'd make a joke about "let the HUSBAND giggle under the covers and tell HIS WIFE to put that camera away before dying before HIS WIFE'S story starts" but lets be real he'd still get more fanart

[strawberry-crocodile]

sir do you understand that you are being criticized right now

[tinkerbitch69]

The best thing about tumblr is you can just make a criticism of a very specific person completely unprompted and then that person will appear as if summoned in your notes to prove your point for you.

the problem with autism is sometimes you want to do something (brave) but you need someone to gently walk you through each step so you know what will happen. and people don’t like doing that

i had to phone a taxi today, scary

[sga-owns-my-soul]

every time i see this post i think of that person who posted on reddit that they wanted to go to subway for the first time but they were scared they would say the wrong thing so someone gave them step by step instructions for the entire process and what all the choices would be and when they would ask what question and i just think

someone will

someone out there will see you and say "yes. the world is scary. but let me hold your hand and show you how to do it anyways"

everyone needs that someone, and everyone can be that someone

The subreddit r/explainlikeimscared is a surprisingly good resource for this. People are always very kind and thorough from what I've seen, and I spend a decent amount of time there giving walkthroughs and answering questions when I know the process.

SHARING TO HELP SOMEONE ELSE OUT!

[what-even-is-thiss]

On the local news today they said that they caught a guy who was attacking people with a sword.

Bad for the people who were injured obviously but how often do you see sword crime these days?

[what-even-is-thiss]

It’s fascinating hearing how other people think. My dad says he has to think of a full sentence word for word before he says it whereas I don’t know what I’m gonna say until I’ve already said it.

nona the ninth is a fucking roller coaster from start to finish. it's the third book in a series and it starts with three returning characters who were barely in book 2 and everyone else is new. It follows a gravity falls arc in tone, ie it starts as a slightly weird slice of life story and by the end they're fighting ancient eldritch abominations from actual hell, and not a moment in that transition feels out of place or jarring. our first impression of the main character is the list of people she wants at her birthday party and the first five names on the list are dogs. our last impression of her is some of the most heartbreaking dialogue ever written.

[elldritch-horror]

I find it very telling that Tamsyn Muir, who came up through this hellsite, wrote books where the evil emperor starts out as a basically okay leftist millennial tumblr user.

What makes the villain the villain (inasmuch as it's useful to examine TLT characters through that kind of simplistic lens) is that when the chips are down and he has to choose, his priority is punishing the wicked, not saving the people left behind.

I would invite anyone whose engagement with their cause consists of finding the 'correct' group of people to hate, to consider whether 'evil emperor' is the next career move you see yourself taking, and if it isn't, to gently suggest disembarking from the hate train.

Because no one wants their God King to be a tumblrina called John.

[griddles-bone-soup]

If I could directly implant this understanding into the brain of every TLT fan, by jod I would

[redstonedust]

i do understand the appeal of reaction videos because in a way it simulates the experience of showing your friend a thing you like and watching them laugh at all the funny moments. and you get to go haha yeah i knew youd laugh at that part. i feel so correct about liking this. feed my ego mr freeman.

HERMITAUR!!!!

This can be platonic or romantic. You know how weird they are, They can and WILL do this platonically somehow

[rattito-rat]

WAIT A FUCKING SECOND.

YOURE MY YURI GUY

WHAT THE FUCK

I NEVER KNEW YOU ALSO LIKED SANDS

I REMEMBER THIS DRAWING REALY WELL

WHAT THE FUCK

WHAT

[theconcealedweapon]

This is what's so fucked up about "nothing that requires the labor of others is a human right".

The labor is already being done under capitalism. The laborers are already being underpaid under capitalism.

When you propose removing the greedy profiteers and paying the workers a reasonable wage, people call that "slavery" while they have no problem with the current system.

They're not even trying to make sense.

[valtsv]

i'm like a fujoshi but for dead people

[valtsv]

if you could see the thread i'm hanging on by you would not say these things to me

[lvmimis]

tbh i love hear me outs but i also love the opposite of hear me outs where it’s like nearly everyone thinks they’re fuckable except you

[morrigan-disapproves]

ultimately we all have to quit our jobs and walk into the sea
