Kitsch

Collection of Small and Meaningful Things (with no inherent use other than to please)

[charlataninred]

Love how tumblr has its own folk stories. Yeah the God of Arepo we’ve all heard the story and we all still cry about it. Yeah that one about the woman locked up for centuries finally getting free. That one about the witch who would marry anyone who could get her house key from her cat and it’s revealed she IS the cat after the narrator befriends the cat.

[meraarts]

Might I add:

The defeat of the wizard who made people choose how they’d be to be executed

The woman who raised the changeling alongside her biological child

The human who died of radiation poisoning after repairing the spaceship

Wow! @writing-prompt-s contributing to like half of these!

[writing-prompt-s]

I can hardly take any credit for these stories! But I love sharing them. Unfortunately I cannot read all the prompt responses so please tag me if you want me to reblog a story that resonated with you so I can give it a little boost :)

45. Bob the Maintenance Robot

[thestuffedalligator]

Great Mouse Detective version of Dracula happening simultaneously as the events of Dracula, so there’s just five mice in Victorian clothes unnoticed by the human cast desperately trying to kill a bat.

[thestuffedalligator]

Or they’re also trying to kill Dracula, but exclusively during the parts of the book when he’s turned into a bat.

[thestuffedalligator]

Dracula invited a human realtor and a mouse realtor to his castle and there were extended periods of time where he would say to his human realtor “Ah please excuse me I have business to attend to” and turn into a bat to talk to his mouse realtor.

[emsartwork]

I forgot that the great mouse detective gave the characters cool original names and just went for cheese or loose mouse themed puns here lol

[aquilacalvitium]

I love this so much you have no idea

Dungeon Crawler Carl is my new hyper fixation as well as my new personality I don’t make the rules

[waterkangaroo]

I am gently taking every single hannigram girlie by the face and begging y'all to please read the Dungeon Crawler Carl series

[mongo-the-liensis]

Carl is so... He's just some guy. He's the messiah. He's a war criminal. He's hope personified. He has killed babies. He's a cultist. He's a cishet ally but everyone thinks he's bisexual. He has daddy issues. He has PTSD. He's straight but he has a boyfriend. He really loves his friends. He has a mental illness. He loves his cat more than anyone and anything else in the world. He's an anarchist. He is slowly going insane. He's a fan favourite crawler. He's a mass murderer. The AI is in love with him. He makes inspirational speeches. He monologues. He's anti-establishment. He's traumatised. He pulls a lot of bitches but doesn't pay attention to them. He sees his friends as his family. He's street smart. He has gotten hit by a train.

[gleefully-macabre]

Okay this is officially the weirdest canon ship I’ve ever encountered. And I do consider it canon, if rather dubcon on one side.

A LitRPG Protagonist and his AI sugar daddy who is basically a petty trickster god with a foot fetish.

Yes, I’m reading Dungeon Crawler Carl.

Yes, I’m on the sixth book.

Yes, I’ve reached that scene.

If ya know, ya know.

[fakegingerrights]

The fact that there isn’t a whole fandom for Dungeon Crawler Carl amazes me. You got a screwed up main protagonist, a self centered adopted ‘daughter’ of the protag who gets major character development, and a shapeshifting begrudging father figure who is hopelessly attached to his kids.

Knowing tumblr that last guy alone would spark a whole fandom. Yall are thirsty as all heck and the daddy issues just do it for yall. Like he literally is an incubus for like a week. Yall go feral for that.

[radioactive-yuri]

not naming any names but like 80% of this website does not understand how ocd works and i feel like that's because a lot of you guys have yet to properly comprehend that thinking about something and liking or condoning that thing are not the same thing at all. in the slightest.

[benoitblanc]

leia organa truly has one of the best bait-and-switch character introductions of all time because when you meet her she's this brave, stoic picture of elegance and justice and always knows just what to say to vader and tarkin and is clad in white like an angel and is this perfect two-dimensional archetype of pureness of heart. and then approximately half an hour later into the film she meets luke and han and she IMMEDIATELY shows her true colors as a sarcastic, bitchy control freak with a massive impulsive streak and a deep mine of hyperspecific insults. 10/10 character design i'm obsessed with her

[nondivisable]

I need to say something and I need y'all to be calm

if it isn't actively bad or harmful, no representation should be called "too simple" or "too surface level"

I have a whole argument for this about the barbie movie but today I wanna talk about a show called "the babysitters club" on Netflix

(obligatory disclaimer that I watched only two episodes of this show so if it's super problematic I'm sorry) (yes. I know it's based on a book, this is about the show)

this is a silly 8+ show that my 9 year old sister is watching and it manages to tackle so many complex topics in such an easy way. basic premise is these 13 year old girls have a babysitting agency.

in one episode, a girl babysits this transfem kid. the approach is super simple, with the kid saying stuff like "oh no, those are my old boy clothes, these are my girl clothes". they have to go to the doctor and everyone is calling the kid by her dead name and using he/him and this 13 year old snaps at like a group of doctors and they all listen to her. it's pure fantasy and any person versed in trans theory would point out a bunch of mistakes.

but after watching this episode, my little sister started switching to my name instead of my dead name and intercalating he/him pronouns when talking about me.

one of the 13 years old is a diabetic and sometimes her whole personality is taken over by that. but she has this episode where she pushes herself to her limit and passes out and talks about being in a coma for a while because of not recognizing the limits of her disability.

and this allowed my 9 year old sister to understand me better when I say "I really want to play with you but right now my body physically can't do that" (I'm disabled). she has even asked me why I'm pushing myself, why I'm not using my crutches when I complain about pain.

my mom is 50 years old and watching this show with my sister. she said the episode about the diabetic girl helped her understand me and my disability better. she grew up disabled as well, but she was taught to shut up and power through.

yes, silly simple representation can annoy you if you've read thousands of pages about queer liberation or disability radical thought, but sometimes things are not for you.
