I Prefer To Write

I'm a writer, reader, occasional giffer, and former OTW volunteer. I have yet to discover a ship I don't like, but my heart beats extra hard for the poly ones. Once this was a Sherlock blog. Now that fandom shares this space with The Old Guard, Kingsman, a dash of MCU and most recently a few k-dramas!

i get that americans love their cultural imperialism, but it really does piss me off that june is “international” pride month just because something happened in the united states.

in aotearoa, june isn’t our pride, it’s theirs. marsha p johnson and sylvia rivera are their historical figures, not ours. the phrase that “you owe your rights to Black trans women” is true there, but here we owe our rights to (mostly) Māori historical figures. i have the freedoms i do because of the legacy of an entirely different set of people operating in an entirely different context at entirely different times.

But because of american cultural imperialism, most queer people in Aotearoa don’t even know our own queer history. Carmen Rupe, Ngahuia Te Awekotuku, the Dorian Society, Gillian Laundon, Georgina Beyer, and the Wolfenden Association are some of our queer history. We should know their names! we should know what they did for us! but because of the power of the american imperial machine, we don’t.

our national pride month should be july, the month that the Homosexual Law Reform Act passed in 1986. our two largest cities hold their pride festivals in february and march, respectively. american queer history has very little (or nothing, depending on who you ask) to do with our queer history. anecdotally, from my own queries, queer youth in aotearoa know more about american queer history than our own.

anyway, happy pride, americans. i’m truly sorry that most of you don’t see the negative impact your nation’s culture has on the rest of the world. and to the rest of the world reading this, try searching for your own country and culture’s queer history, don’t accept the american narratives as your own. we deserve our own histories divorced from the cultural hegemony of the USA.

do you ever see someone get so far into fanon of their favorite character that they forget the core conceit of that character

[banchie]

i've been phasing the phrase 'google it' out of my vocabulary and going back to 'look it up'. fuck you youve lost your generic trademark privileges

[dailynarnia]

is jake gyllenhaal gay??

why would you ask us, a narnia blog, this

[romanceyourdemons]

in the tradition of outcast (2014), dragon blade (2015), and the great wall (2016), we need a movie set in the 1630s where a disillusioned member of the embroidered uniform guard and a profit-driven jianghu mercenary flee the corrupt and crumbling ming dynasty and somehow end up in the equally corrupt city of cologne, where they become key players in the fight against the sinister forces of cardinal richelieu and eventually secure the peace of westphalia and the end of the thirty years’ war. this is a million dollar idea i’m telling you

[romanceyourdemons]

i really do love this concept. the protagonist is like i’m sick of dealing with wei zhongxian’s shit, i’m gonna go someplace where people are holy and don’t even know how to act like this (the impression of europe he got from the jesuit missionary he had a tactical lunch with once), and so he travels 5000 miles and as soon as he stops to catch his breath he runs into cardinal fucking richelieu, the european wei zhongxian

I want to thank Tumblr for being able to impress my 3 yo by knowing the names of the girls in Huntr/x.

Ursäkta kpoppandet, men åh herregud! Åh herregud herregud herregud! Lyssna på det här, jag BER ER! Det är helt hysteriskt!

[balaclava-trismegistus]

Killed a spider n now I feel bad :/

[balaclava-trismegistus]

Why did you say that

[quasi-normalcy]

Okay, so it takes 9 months to make a baby human; that’s about 3 kg.

A baby spider, by contrast, weighs about 1 mg; roughly 3 million times lighter.

So...you could give birth to a healthy baby spider in about...8 seconds? Like it’s not a big inconvenience.

[shittinggold]

tumblr user saturnine-powerbomb is on the other side of the cave, churning out spiders as fast as Georg can shovel them into his mouth

[mythwine]

Leaving aside that that isn’t how spiders or giving birth works, that’s also not how math works.  You can’t just guess gestational time based on the mass of the babies or extrapolate a linear relationship based on a single data point.  On average, a spider egg will hatch in 2-3 weeks.  But it does depend on the species.  For instance, yellow garden spiders create an egg sac in the late summer that will survive all through the winter, and then hatch spiderlings in the spring, and each egg sack will contain 300-1400 eggs.   So don’t worry, you don’t have to replace the spider you killed.  They are *very good* at replacing themselves, and do not require your assistance with that task.

Idk, that sounds fake, I'm just gonna go birth a spider, I have 8 seconds to kill. It's not like it's hard

How is my night going? I just looked up Anders Tegnell on AO3, thanks for asking!

just saw a "only one bed" fic with the major character death warning

[dontbreakthechain]

#i guess that's one way to solve that problem

[idabbleincrazy]

“This bed ain’t big enough for the both of us.”

[tragedyprotagonist]

I'm forcing my sister to watch black sails and she hates flint (gates pushed her over the edge) so much lmfao. She says she doesn't give a fuck what his motivations are there's no way they could be good enough for her unless. and I quote. "he's doing it all for the gays or something"

[tragedyprotagonist]

well she found out what he's doing it all for
