I am not going to take hate about my favourite character personally. Taking hate about characters personally is the mind-killer. People are allowed to like or dislike whatever characters they want. Hating my favourite character is fair and valid. I’m not crying. I’m not crying. I’m not.

thinking about how Buffy didn't find out about the high school rumors about her being gay until college probably because the students at sunnydale were just so used to her weird shit that the lesbian thing was likely the least interesting part to talk about

like who gives a shit who she's sleeping with when you've seen her stab people with a pool stick in the middle of the club during her first week in town

[herinsectreflection]

That moment in Conversations is so hilarious to me because Buffy is like "What the hell?! Gay? I dated Scott Hope! How could they believe such a rumour?!" Meanwhile the Sunnydale students are probably watching her - about a week after splitting up with Scott she starts hanging out with some strange girl who doesn't go to your school and wears leather jackets and combat boots constantly, and is weirdly touchy with her. At one point this girl turns up during an exam, draws a heart on the window, and Buffy just like jumps out the window after her. Like... sure Buffy, it's a complete mystery why anyone would have believed that rumour. Total mystery.

missing The Character is a strange thing because yea there's always the option to go back to their source material or looking at art or reading fics but it's also like i can't just call them up like i would a friend to see how they're doing and that's the frustrating part of it

A perfectly natural heterosexual black swan couple raising their cute fluffy babies together as God intended <3

SIKE

THEY'RE GAY

And they're not some rare exception to the rule, either!!!

About 25% of black swan couples consist of two swans of the same sex (typically, two males).

These couples will court each other, build a nest, and raise their young together in a more-or-less committed monogamous relationship.

In fact, these same-sex couples have a high success rate of 80% when raising their young to adulthood, as opposed to the 30% of their heterosexual counterparts! Two big buff papa swans are better than one when it comes to stomping on invaders of nesting territory.

"But," I hear you say, "where do their baby floofballs come from? Does mpreg exist among black swans?"

Alas, no, but there is a very elegant solution to this. The swan couple may simply temporarily associate themselves with a female swan.

Afterwards, the female swan deposits their eggs and swims off free to live her single girlie life if she wishes (or, find a boyfriend. Preferably one who isn't already committed to another boyfriend.)

So whenever someone commits the naturalistic fallacy "homosexuality bad because unnatural >:(" I like to point out not only their glaring illogicality, but also, respectfully, there is homosexuality happening in the local lake right now.

This concludes my Ted Talk on gay swans.

“average Leverage episode has as much hockey in it as an episode of Heated Rivalry ” factoid actuallyjust statistical error. average Leverage episode has 0 hockey. The Blue Line Job, which has 10,000 more hockey moments than all of HR s1 is an outlier adn should not have been counted.

here, you can observe the writer in their natural habitat: not writing their wip. and ah [checks notes] only a few hours before, they were so excited to write said wip. [takes a note] interesting, interesting.

when you think about it too long it’s actually bonkers that people travelled months on the sea to unknown places like sat in that vast cold unending darkness of the sea, the absolute dead of night. nothing as far as the eye can see but an unending inky black ocean. i can’t imagine it. shit is actually terrifying

there will never be anything as funny as the mutual disbelief between long form and short form fic writers about each other's style.

short form writers look at people writing 100k+ fics as though this is some sort of talent given as part of a fae bargain, that the commitment required shows some sort of ungodly mental fortitude.

meanwhile long form writers look at people writing 1000 word one shots like god I would cut off my left nipple to be able to say anything concisely. i would love to play with multiple ideas. free me from the shackles of this child I have birthed. i love them but I now must take them to t-ball and doctor's appointments and they're going to destroy everything I own.
