was reading some fan opinions on the new olivia rodrigo album and it's crazy to me that there are people out there who dislike the music because they interpreted some songs as olivia 'being petty' or 'showing red flags' like ???
it's an album not the bible??? why are you casting some sort of prescriptive moral lens on this
i fuck with this heavily
I'm browsing through greasy fork looking at ao3 extensions and folks, someone tell me that I shouldn't try to learn javascript?
While I'm here, I might as well share some extensions that folks might be interested in:
Filter bookmarks by word count or chapter count
Only show fics where your favourite ship is the first one tagged
Hide works based on tag, author, title, or words in the summary
Add a download button to work blurbs (download while you browse)
Track your favorite, finished, to-read and disliked fics
Automatic bookmark description creator with title, author, status, summary, and last read date in a collapsible section
Only show the fics written in languages you want to read
Hide or highlight fics that you have kudosed or marked as seen
There's a boatload more, but that's probably a good start?
adding some of my favorites
ao3 rekudos converter: automatically comment on a fic when you've already left kudos
AO3 Floating Comment Box: create a floating comment box at the bottom of the page so you can comment as you read
AO3 Random Nice Comments: lets you Leave a random nice comment with the click of a button
and this isn't on greasyfork but is a life-changing bookmarklet that allows you to export the contents of a works listing (history, bookmarks, marked for later, series) as a CSV.
one genre of fanfiction that seems to have mostly disappeared since i became an adult is shenanigans-type fics. like not exactly crack but just "the gang goes to 7-11" type, extremely low-stakes plot stories. the beach episodes of fanfiction. i just feel like i don't see those around so much anymore. whered they go. i miss them :(
[Image of text saying,
Some AAVE speakers pluralize 'child' as 'childrens'. People get racist about this ("It's already plural!"), but 'children' actually comes from Middle English speakers doing the same thing: slapping their plural marker on word already pluralized by an extinct plural marker.
To oversimplify: in Old English, 'childer' ('ċildra') was the plural of 'child' ('ċild'). Middle English developed an '-en' plural marker, which we see in 'oxen'. Instead of updating to 'childen', people slapped their preferred '-en' onto the end of 'childer' - so now we have 'child-er-en'. AAVE carries on this tradition with 'child-er-en-s'.
"Pure" language is just impurity obscured by the passage of time.

deepen the shadows bro. it'll be ok
i meant art-wise but if any dark sorcerers see this. you do you
I think part of getting better is complete ego death. Like you’re not above setting a timer for 5 minutes and focusing on a task. You’re not above doing a very simple 3 minute workout to start. You’re not above reading for 10 minutes a day when you first get out of your reading slump, even if you used to read for hours. You’re not above starting slow and then building up to where you want to be/where you once were. What you are above is total inertia. Doing something really is better than doing nothing. Radically accept where you are, radically accept your limits, and go from there. Don’t let your ego get in the way.

You already know the story. You will die. Everyone you love will also die. You will lose them forever. You will be sad and angry. You will weep. You will bargain. You will make demands. You will beg. You will pray. It will make no difference. Nothing you can do will bring them back. You know this, Your knowing changes nothing. This poem will make you understand this unfathomable truth again and again, as if for the very first time.

It's interesting to think about the intersection of these two facts:
Films reflect the time period in which they were made.
Our most popular films right now are all reboots, sequels, and reused IPs.
On one hand, you could make the case that our generation is being deprived of its place on cultural timeline, because (as far as the mainstream goes) all we're being given is rehashed ideas from other time periods. Seems rather boring to analyze.
But on the other hand, I think future film historians will find that this era is culturally fascinating. Not because of the "nostalgia bait" itself, but because it represents the emergence of independent cinema and streaming.
When TV was invented, people could watch filmed media at home. You no longer had to go to a theatre just to watch cartoons or comedies.
So the studios responded with a wave of epics in the 1950s. They said "Okay, you can get Dick Van Dyke at home, but you can't get Ben-Hur." Television couldn't compete with the budget, big name stars, or visual tech that film studios could offer. They were financially incentivized to blow your socks off with visuals and big name stars.
But with the emergence of streaming and independent film, that's no longer the case. A-listers are happy to take TV roles, and TV offers Hollywood-level visuals. You don't need to mess with the theatre system at all. It's easier than ever to make good-looking movies and share them with the masses with no major studio backing.
So what's the one thing that studios still have going for them? What's the one thing that Disney can give you that an independent filmmaker can't? Yoda. The Little Mermaid. Iron Man. Fucking brands. That's all they have, so that's all they sell.
We aren't being sold reboot after reboot because it's what the people want to see, or because our current culture is somehow more boring and lifeless than ever before. It's because it's the last stranglehold that these soulless studios have over the industry. They will shove your own childhood down your throat because their domination over previous generations is the one thing they have left to sell to this one.
"you were always such a good kid! we never had to worry about you :)" thanks! you actually should've, though. like about this specifically
tmi stands for tell me immediately
i really love this genre of image
The best part of that video is that the owner found the ORIGINAL plush later on the beach and took another video with it after their grandmother stitched it back up
I love the death grip after the toy was fixed up. Lessons were learned. Try to steal it this time you fucking bird. I dare you.
