I don't wanna die, I'd just rather disappear.. don't want to exist but just vanish, forever gone.. I don't want the atoms to create another me, i don't want to be forgotten, I want to be erased..just gone..every atom, every fibre, every memory of me, every semblance of me..just none... I wanna scream at the "creator" for giving me consciousnesses..
Ok, I know that in the late 3rd Age thewe were few Elves left in the Middle Earth, and even fewer in the 4th. But I sincerely hope that the ones who stayed and kept writing chronicles wrote the name SAMWISE GAMGEE in big bold letters bc they recognised him as the true heart and hero that he was.. like Frodo and Bilbo were grand.. but SAMWISE! He was the most Hobbity Hobbit that ever Hobbited and then proceeded to Hobbit all over Mordor!
...yes..i decided to ruin my life again by reading an entrie trilogy, also the Silmarillion..also keeping a journal and writing notes..this is my life now
Sources for Somerton's Plagiarism from Hbomberguy's Video (as much as I could get)
I went back through Harry's video, focused entirely on the sources James Somerton pulled from in the hopes of creating as much of a comprehensive list as I could--though my Google-Fu is not very strong. I did however find something I thought was forever lost and that made me very happy--specifically the magazine Midlands Zone containing the column by Steven Spinks that Harry poignantly used as an illustration of gay erasure... while Somerton uses it to sound like HE is waxing remorseful about the very subject.
This is not a complete list, I'm sure. For one thing, I was only able to attempt to pull sources that Harry himself mentioned in the video. Surely there's so very much more out there. I expect there to be a great deal more internet archeology to unearth just how much writing and culture Somerton has stolen like he's the British Museum of Natural History but for gay people.

Harry's list of mentioned youtubers:

Harry created a convenient playlist of videos by these and other people he wants to bring to everyone's attention.
Please give them your support.

Midlands Zone Magazine - Column by Steven Spinks
After a great deal of searching, I found an archive of the "Midlands Zone" magazine, where you can read through past issues dating all the way back to February 2014. I have also found the issue from which Somerton took Spinks' poignant discussion of gay erasure: Overall archive Specific Issue - Pages 16-17
It will not allow you to download it, but you can read it exactly as it appeared in print form.

My best effort to find the exact book or article Somerton lifted from to be able to get attention to the original writers

I refrained from including certain sources.
First off only focusing on Somerton's work.
Secondly not including anything that might be visible enough to not require amplifying their voice (I cannot speak for all of those I have found links to, but journalism is frequently a thankless job).
Thirdly any source that is of a nature that is antithetical to the very existence of the queer community, such as the right-leaning source that didn't make it into Somerton's video, but Harry was able to identify as a source he had considered using.
If you feel I have missed a mentioned source--or you know of a source from material that was not covered in Harry's video--please do not hesitate to reblog with added details.

Please share this information far and wide, and please add to it if you find more material that can be positively identified and linked to the creator/writer.
How I communicate with my friends now that I am in my early 30's:
*Crawls outta the hole in the wall:
Announces: "I am well, hope you are too"
Refuses to elaborate
Crawls back into the hole
Creeps for a while, awaiting the response
Ignores the response
Hisses

theres no way im letting you losers enjoy your antisemitism simulator.
Y’all, when people were like “hang on, are the goblins REALLY an antisemitic caricature?”
This game was like, “Hold my beer—YES.”
They literally gave the goblins a shofar. You know, the horn that’s used to rally troops in the Torah and that we still blow on Rosh Hashanah?
Oh hey, the Hogwarts Legacy discord server mods are just straight-up banning anyone who identified themselves as Jewish now.
Wait, what the fuck?
Transcript: "This might sound like a hot take, but I feel like the Internet's obsession with uniqueness is causing legitimate brain rot in some people.
There's no reason why something like mental illness, for example, should be turned into this commodity where you like, get internet points or social currency by being different.
It's like, by trying to break the stigma, we've just come full circle, where now nobody knows what the hell any of these words actually mean.
So when you explain what a panic attack is, people are like "Oh, like that's like actually really scary." & "Not something I just experienced when I couldn't get Taylor Swift tickets".
And I know this is going to piss some people off so just brace yourself, but I see it the most in fellow white people - Especially people that are like upper-middle-class.
Look, I'm just gonna say it: whiteness gives us access to everything but oppression. That's the one thing we can't colonize. So what do we do? We turn oppression into social currency - Because we know if there's one thing we can do, it's make money off of something that doesn't belong to us.
And before the people that grew up on a cul-de-sac start to get offended in my comments, actually listen to what I'm saying: Don't intentionally misconstrue it because you want to be oppressed. Just be happy and lucky you aren't."

Ok, on one hand the internet helps many find their crew, someone like them, somewhere they belong (hehe..get it..Linkin Park..) which is great and valuable. It certainly means the world for the opressed, depressed, neurodivergent, shunned no matter their race or gender. BUT, FAKING disability and claiming to be oppressed for likes on tiktok just to try and fail to give your character another dimension, a little more depth and uniqueness because it's the currency is just vile and disingenuous. It further incentives the oppressed not to seek allies bc who the hell is genuine? Can we please go back to myspace days where you were only as unique as obnoxious your profile was? Glitter and blaring MCR and top friends lists were the days... I'm obviously very old..at least in internet terms...also according to my bones
all goofing aside I genuinely don't understand the urge to reimagine Taylor Allison Swift as a secretly queer icon when the pop music scene(TM) is like. literally overflowing with women who actually like women. Gaga and Kesha and Miley and Halsey are right there. Rina Sawayama and Hayley Kiyoko and Rebecca Black and Kehlani and Victoria Monét and Miya Folick if you're willing to get slightly less top 100. Janelle and Demi for them nonbinary takes on liking girls. like what are we doing here. like I'm not even saying you can't enjoy Taylor but why would you hang all your little gay hopes on her.
Isn’t Lady Gaga bisexual?
yes that is indeed why she's on the list of famous women who like women
why have multiple people reblogged this with some horse-assed "um actually most of these people are bi or pan" did I fucking stutter I said they like girls. what is your point. I'm going to kill you.
#op probably has this post muted but the icon is too real.
the icon is because of this post
There's this trope in most modern Disney TVA shows that close to the end of the show, the characters gotta deal with an apocalyptic setting
So my "vacation is almost over" depression is creeping in... My seasonal depression is in full swing, and my menstrual depression is coming along nicely as well. All atop of my regular depression which is just chilling and refusing to leave.
... I'm just several depressions in a trench coat at this point
Getting lethally hit by a Humvee has the same energy as being bludgeoned to death by a dildo, as they're both a penis analog. It's just embarrassing
The existence of swans is messing up my energy
Seriously though, as much as I dislike the bougie geese, there are entirely too many of them for this time of year...it has been a *mild* winter so far, so i suppose that's that's why they all just stayed..
If cllimate change means I'll have to deal with swans all year long .???!! NNOOOOOO! I can't i don't wanna, they're mean,they have tiny pointy teeth
Swans are just bougie geese...
Shit Anesthesiologists say:
Standing by the patient who's just beginning to wake up after the surgery, breathing tube still in, barely conscious. My Anestgesiologist blurts out: Now would be a great time to tell them "Wake up, you've been in a coma for 27 years!"
Mind you the sence of hearing is the first one to come back after deep sedation, so it's possible that the patient heard him.
I almost died laughing.
As an aneshesia nurse I'm profoundly fascinated by the anaphylactic shock. Like our body works perfectly and then you get stung by a bee or eat a peanut and it suddenly decides that it's the most horrible thing to have ever happened and it's in your best interest to die very dramatically.
