genderfluid-pearl tagged me to write 6 interesting things about myself. I’ll do it for you my friend. I haven’t done one of these types of things in forever
- I am currently watching a small bird aggressively splash around in a tiny bathtub
- I’m actually several eels in a convincing robot
- Art is a hobby I’m still super passionate about despite not talking about it as frequently as I used to. It would be cool to sell prints or do commissions along with the perler bead stuff.
- One of my many less respectable goals is to write an erotic novel.
- I’m some vague variety of pagan. I’ve been low key practicing since I was 11
- I somewhat recently became polyamorous.
Okay now I think I’m supposed to tag people. Probably six people?
psyrins said: I read the whole conversation and I didn’t see where this person made an angry comment. :x Who’re you talking about?
it was the "I thought comedy was insulting each other and having fun, man have I been wrong all these years" (I suppose I could try to imagine it as not bitter, but it's definitely sarcastic right? if not I'm baffled)
And sure comedy can be like that. And it's fantastic comedy if everyone involved is having fun. But comedy can even be comedy if it's just making douchebags laugh at the expense of traumatizing/triggering/hurting/annoying other people (example: Tosh's rape jokes, bullies teasing the queer kid, many other forms of comedy media involving rape jokes, gay jokes, racist jokes, and other things that do more harm than good) "We were just having fun. God, can't you take a joke, etc" that doesn't really make it ok. People upset with the joke can recognize it as the comedy genre, but that doesn't make it funny to them. So defining comedy seems a bit pointless anyway....
I don't think it sounded angry either, but it certainly sounded sarcastic, and possibly annoyed, and typically things that are using sarcasm against my opinion sound bitter I guess? It just seemed like the kind of thing that was going to open a whole can of worms because I've seen arguments over the subject go haywire before. That subject being along the lines of that whole "Don't be offended, it was just a joke!" thing. But it didn't, so that's good. I'm definitely not cut out for any kind of social justicey thing, the anxiety kills me.
Oh gosh I got way too carried away here didn't I? sorry for ranting.
I was scared to death of getting into another argument with a friend over facebook. It does not end well. But nothing happened so it's all good
Love you shall receive In the form of late nights of ramen and writing! In our domestic life we would live in a hobbit hole with a huge office ideal for an author or gamer x2. We wouldn't care to leave the home too much, so it would be extremely cozy and well-stocked, with plenty of elegance and a gothic touch. After much planning and collaboration we would open a business together simply called "Fandoms" which would sort of be like a comic book store except way fucking cooler. We would then use it to promote our own stories and live happily ever after
