[vampireapologist-archive-deacti]

I had nightmare last night that my friends and I all planned a trip to Vampire Con which was like comic con but all about Vampire media and it wasn’t well advertised and just about Nobody had heard about it but us but all the same when we got there it was Enormous with a ton of attendees and slowly things started to unfold and my friends and I realized it wasn’t Vampire Con about Vampire media, it was an annual convention for Vampires Specifically and everyone there was a Vampire and I was like “do you think they’ve noticed we’re not vampires” and this Vampire obviously overhearing us because they’re VAMPIRES was like “yeah we noticed” and I was like “shoot what’s gonan happen” and he was like “idk we don’t really have any contingency for this maybe you’ll just die” and I was like Hm……..Not in favor of that.

Anyway after we talked to him he let us go and we were Free to Leave like no one was holding us captive but we kept going to panels and my friends were having a blast but I kept getting Specifically and Individually threatened by different Vampires everywhere we went but like. Who was I to ruin everyone else’s fun

[vampireapologist-archive-deacti]

At one point we were at dinner and i guess the vampires could eat whatever and they were having Riddle Games and each table got a riddle and as we figured out the riddle the answer was basically like “we’re gonna kill Mallaidh Anne” and my friends were like “haha we solved it!” And I was like UH

[bungleboobs]

I swear this is the best kind of dream to have

[vampireapologist-archive-deacti]

Its rly funny now but I swear it was Big Scary then

every time I use “they” to refer to a single gender-unknown person on Tumblr, another piece of my grammar-filled heart shatters, and the pieces scatter at the bottom of hell

[davidemmerich]

“They” has been a singular pronoun for hundreds of years, you melodramatic dipshit.

[miguel-the-sexy-and-powerful-god]

well… actually… no… they is plural. people use they when they should use he, she, or it.

[baras-deactivated20150906]

dense motherfucker, the pronoun “they” is an english equivalent for the third person indefinite singular and has been for literally centuries. it remains morphologically and syntactically plural therefore you don’t need to shit your little pantaloons at compromising your surely rock solid grammar rules.

i guarantee every fuckin time you’ve ever had to refer to a person of an unknown gender you’ve used “they” subconsciously. (“The post clerk gave me a message for you.” “Oh, what did they say?”) but you only have a problem with it when people specify it as a pronoun for themselves because you’re a shitlord i fuckin guess.

[manthedog]

grammarized straight into hell

[some-teeth-in-a-trench-coat]

I’m sick and tired of being called “mortal” like, you don’t know that. Neither do I. I have never died even ONCE. Nothing has been proven yet. Stop making assumptions. It’s rude.

[benepla-deactivated20200506]

can we give it up for Suzanne Collins for fucking off into oblivion with her money after hunger games fucking destroyed the YA market for like 6 years. everything YA was dystopian “EVERYONES IN A DIFFERENT QUADRANT” shit from 2010 to 2016 and we didnt hear a peep from her. true fucking power.

[ruby-white-rabbit]

And she hasn’t said a word since. Rowling could take some pointers

[galaxiepresdechezvous]

Yeah but in Collins defense, her book was really good. She perfectly showed PTSD, Katnis trauma from when her mom mentally “abandoned” her when her dad died and the parallel with Katnis depression at the end of the series, perfectly depicted the society and its inherent problems, Finick’s back story, socio-economic disparities based on skin colour, Rue and the 11th district, President Coin and how she was as bad as Snow but in an other angle, distrinct 13 and the capitol trying to use her image for the war even though she did want to, and way more stuff I can’t think of right now.

I mean the following Y/A distopian books were mostly bad knock off who thought that the reason the HG had such success was because of the love triangle, but in reality Collins created such a complexe yet very realistic world that makes a parallel to our society of entretainment and war

[whatisthisplaceidonteven]

The Hunger Games was baby’s first intro to social justice for a lot of kids back in the early 2010s. They were brilliant books that introduced a lot of complicated concepts in a way teens could understand and enjoy - plus, addictive, well-plotted adventure stories with A+ characterization and worldbuilding. But all the general public seems to remember about them is the love triangle, and I will always be salty about that.

[princecaviar-deactivated2022113]

The irony of the Hunger Games is that the media in the book and the media in the real world both chose to focus on the love story instead of the rebellion.

Cowards won’t reblog this version.

[kabaks]

imagine talking about alexander the great and not mentioning that he died of grief only 8 months after hephaestion died, that he petitioned the oracle to give hephaestion literal divine status so that people could worship him as a god, that he threw himself on hephaestion’s dead body and refused to leave for two days, that he put together the biggest funeral procession known to the world at the time, that he gave hephaestion a lock of his own hair at the funeral in blatant reference to achilles doing the same with patroclus….like heteronormativity is so wild that he could come back from the dead and come out to every historian personally and it still wouldn’t be enough to render him anything but straight

Literally no one who follows me is going to know what this means, but HBomberguy, a Youtuber known for Video Essays about pop culture and gaming made a promise that he would live stream himself playing Donkey Kong 64, in its entirety (including picking up every single banana) and all money would go to a UK charity for trans youth (Mermaids) and his initial goal was $3,000 and now it’s been 26 hours into the stream and he’s already over $51k. I just need people to know about this https://m.twitch.tv/hbomberguy

[crunkistador-deactivated2019040]

Also, he’s doing it to spite Graham Lineman, a transphobic prick who did some work in some good shows, and helped get Mermaids’ funding by the National Lottery suspended, so because of his temper tantrum, as of the writing of this reblog, he’s raised almost $130k!

[earlploddington-deactivated2019]

i joined and everyone’s talking about OllyTube’s cum what happened

[jonlumia]

Some other highlights:

-The game keeps breaking up from the seams because the emulator just BARELY can handle the game’s code hacks. The chat has to constantly remind him to save the game in case it crashes entirely.

- Harris took 6 hours off camera to sleep and in the meantime the chat devolved into shitposting about feet and teeth (or FEETH).

- Meanwhile on twitter: Glinneham is throwing a pissy transphobic tantrum on twitter due to the stream while #ThanksGraham has started trending in Europe, U.S. and Australia. 

-Insane amount of guest streamers including Chelsea Manning, Jim Sterling, Ollie Thorn and the game’s composer and DK’s voice actor, Grant Kirkhope

- Kirkhope saying TRANS RIGHTS in his DK voice.

tumblr sucked yet its the only thing people like us could ever have posted on. tumblr was a deep sea geothermal vent and we are all pallid, desperate crabs snapping at the dark toxcic nutrients spweing from its hole, and bringing us into the harsh light of the instagram influencersphere would kill us instantly.

ugh how the fuck do you cover letter

Greetings, Exalted One. Allow me to introduce myself. I am Luke Skywalker, Jedi Knight and friend to Captain Solo.

I know that you are powerful, mighty Jabba, and that your anger with Solo must be equally powerful. I seek an audience with Your Greatness to bargain for Solo’s life.

With your wisdom, I’m sure that we can work out an arrangement which will be mutually beneficial and enable us to avoid any unpleasant confrontation.

As a token of my goodwill, I present to you a gift: these two droids. Both are hardworking and will serve you well.

[siderealsandman]

Do you ever think of how weird it would be if Mickey Mouse’s name was actually Michael? And how weird it would be if one day Minnie called him “Michael Mouse” because she was upset with him? Because I think about it sometimes.

[thegoombs]

I have just been informed that Mickey’s full name is “Michael Theodore Mouse”, and that Minnie’s is “Minerva Mouse”. I DONT KNOW WHAT TO DO WITH THIS INFORMATION, BUT I FEEL LIKE I KNOW SOMETHING FORBIDDEN NOW???

[rikudera]

I feel like this is a good time to share the fact that Donald Duck’s middle name is Fauntleroy.

goofy periodically changes his name to avoid the IRS if i remember right

[kiwianaroha]

“So what can we learn from this study? On the data side, we see that everything is proceeding as planned. Nobody’s paying $50 for a burger at McDonald’s, or $16 for a can of tuna at Safeway. Employers wish their profits were higher, and workers are glad they got a raise, but they wish they made more money. Three years after Seattle started down the road to $15, everything is as it should be. Those apocalyptic claims of destruction and business closures haven’t been proven true. One thing the study didn’t explain was why the sky didn’t fall as promised. Why weren’t workers laid off in droves, or replaced with robots? Why didn’t prices skyrocket? Why does Seattle have more restaurants now than at any point in its history? It’s because those workers who saw a raise now have more money to spend in the city around them. Those restaurant workers are eating in more restaurants. They’re buying more groceries. They’re buying more clothes and cars. That increased consumer demand is creating jobs, and more than paying for the increased minimum wage. The $15 minimum wage established a positive feedback loop that created growth in Seattle by including more people in the economy. In other words, it worked exactly as intended.”

When you give consumers money, they spend it. When you give old, rich, white men money, they hoard it.

this series is pure and wholesome and i love it so much

[recourse-ao3-deactivated2024022]

whispers hey you can’t use the same critical framework on works by individual lgbt creators that you use for works by corporations looking for profit from lgbt stories written by straight people because the context and consumption of that content exist in completely separate spheres thannnkssssss

[recourse-ao3-deactivated2024022]

you can’t deride a depressed lesbian’s work for having the sad lesbian trope in it

you can’t tell a trans woman writing about being trans that she’s just writing the stereotypical trans narrative

those are their stories to tell and they’re not stereotypes they’re real lives and reducing them to the boxes het media puts us in is reproducing their oppression

[oodlenoodleroodle]

And the God-tier is when people criticise individual LGBTQ people for being “stereotypical” in the way they live their lives X___x
