Yeah, I’m Pretty, Pretty Bad For An Angel

This ain’t no machine, it’s just a girl

[thatfantasylovingdork]

Things I like: Alice in Wonderland, robots, aliens, fantasy, scifi, horror, griffins, the color lavender, cats (especially black cats), and that certain swagger only fictional villains seem to have

Things I dislike: Reylo, abuse shipping, sexism/misogyny, really any type of double standard, discrimination or unfairness, men who have shaved chests slathered with oil during shirtless scenes

Hi! Sadly I don’t have a good nickname to display here (maybe Fanta or Chromedome?), but I’m married to Captain Phasma, have two cats, worship Carrie Fisher, and often come up with fanfic or story ideas that I never finish (or even start). I’m on Fanfiction.net and AO3 as PhantasyPhan13 and TinyFrostGiant, respectively (yes, I know my tags are wrong; I’ll get to that someday!). My current sidechick (because Phasma will always reign supreme in my heart) is Starscream from Transformers, and lately I’ve been into retro-futuristic, cyberpunk, rock, pop, and kpop music. I’m neurodivergent and have huge anxiety issues, so please be patient with me. I hope you like my stuff, and as always, I’m open to feedback and constructive criticism.

Have a good day!

When a student copies an essay online instead of writing it and then painstakingly changes every word to a synonym until the text no longer makes any sense...

call that the Ship of Thesaurus

[trek-tracks]

Any educator who doesn't feel this on a visceral level has never had to experience the psychic pain of reading the phrase "Unused York City."

[trek-tracks]

This is the fifth anniversary of me receiving the paper that contained "Unused York City." With ChatGPT slop invading my classes like original thought-choking kudzu, I now look back on the copy-paste + Spinbot days with a surprising amount of rosy nostalgia.

I was once in the office and another professor called me over. She was teaching a course on global citizenship.

"I can't figure out what this student is writing about," she said. "She keeps using the phrase 'perspiration stores.' Perspiration stores this, perspiration stores that."

I glanced at the paper and read a paragraph.

"Friend," I said. "She's writing about sweatshops."

Yall remember when the Sherlock fandom and Transformers fandom got into a fucking fight

[possessed-paranoia-deactivated2]

I need to see this.

[mightymessenger]

What happened was that Sherlock had an episode called The Final Problem, which the fandom then abreviated to tfp. The problem was that there’s a popular Transformers show called Transformers: Prime, which is also abreviated to tfp.

It was a shit show.

The main argument was that Transformers: Prime came first and had the tag first so the Transformers fandom should be the ones to keep it while the Sherlock fandom told the Transformers fandom to basically get out and find a new tag. The Transformers fandom got super fucking pissed about it and pretty much spammed the tag as much as they could.

It didn’t last for very long but I’m pretty sure that the Transformers fandom won because the tag is full of robots again.

[decepticon-spydrone]

And this is why you shouldn’t mess with the Transformers fandom. We may not be a huge side of tumblr, but we have both longevity and determination. WE CAN OUTLAST YOU.

I used to set this one for second year undergraduate creative writing seminars on writing science fiction on a double bill with Octavia E. Butler's "Bloodchild" and no-one here gets out alive.

[regionalpancake]

!!!! Today is the only chance we’ll ever have to listen to this absolute banger of apocalyptic fiction on the very day the story is set 😲✨

Nemoy’s voice is PERFECT in this!

(A content warning if you do listen - the dog dies, though it’s not super graphic)

[regionalpancake]

I paused the robot vacuum so I could listen to this 1950’s story predicting the robot vacuum.

[thatfantasylovingdork]

This is so cool!!! I’m just glad we aren’t nuked out and can breathe easy tomorrow knowing humanity still exists.

The fastest way to accomplish The Project is to cease being afraid of The Project. The Project cannot maim you. The Project cannot kill you. The Project is more afraid of you than you are of it. It is okay if The Project turns out differently from how it was in your head, and it is okay if it has flaws. You are capable of engaging with The Project.
