My pronouns are he/him and they/them. I've been w my illegal husband for nearly 3 years and I love him to death :3

Please DO NOT interact if you are: transphobic, homophobic, a zoophile, supportive of Isr*el, a z*onist, a p*do, or a minor. My blog is not a safe space for any kind of hatred, and while I don't rly post nsfw, I am an adult and don't rly want to be interacting with minors online.

Thanks for reading! Enjoy your time browsing my blog :3

love when an absolute nightmare of a character is introduced and all you can think is "jesus christ buddy what the hell is your problem" and the narrative gives you a hot minute to stew before explaining Exactly what is Their Problem. and you just sorta sit back in your metaphorical rocking chair and think "huh. yeah okay fair. that would do this to a person, yes."

[homunculus-argument]

Fun fact: if you, as an adult, tell miserable children that their youth is the best that life will ever be, and that it's all just downhill from there, there's a percentage of them who will hear this and think "well, I guess I better kill myself before that happens." And a certain percentage of those will proceed to do that and succeed.

Anyway what I'm saying is that any time you feel tempted to say that, you should instead consider shutting the fuck up. Just because you peaked at 16 doesn't mean anyone else did. Most peoples' lives get better than that.

Netflix: we think theatres are dying

Markiplier: my indie film is seven weeks from release, and has gone from being distributed in 50 theaters to almost 300 theaters in three days almost 500 theaters in four days OVER 1000 theaters in five days

jacksepticeye says FUCK ICE

[therealjacksepticeye]

Just to avoid any confusion, I mean it exactly as it sounds.

Fuck anyone who preys on minorities and vulnerable groups.

I’m about to buy and read the crow plastic romantasy book

Help

[squidong]

Welcome to the fae future, where you can never use a vibrator again.

[squidong]

He recognized her as his ~mate~. She’s Australian, so she keeps casually calling him “mate” as he gets increasingly flustered.

I genuinely cannot tell if this book is terrible or brilliant.

[squidong]

I have many questions. For instance, if his job is to destroy plastic but he spends most of his time hunting monsters, does that mean the monsters are made of plastic? How does that work?

[squidong]

I GUESS

[derinthescarletpescatarian]

This looks amazing actually

[resmeae]

I tried to find this book and found several crow romantasy books, none of which match the description. Halp.

[squidong]

The Company of Vengeful Crows: Season of the Crow, by Lana Pecherczyk

The plastic thing isn’t actually all that central to the plot as written.

[squidong]

[squidong]

“I’m sorry” and “thank you” are words that create a debt bond that fae can cash in on?

[squidong]

Also I forgot to mention - our heroine is in her mid to late thirties! She was married to an asshole ex-football (soccer) star for 15 years before the apocalypse happened, he dumped her, and poof she woke up in the fae future.

Blake (the character) is from Perth, and definitely low-brow - that’s why she got dumped in the first place. Shoutout to the notes for introducing me to the term “bogan”. Half the aussies in the notes are like “I know people who talk exactly like that” and half of them are convinced the author has never met an Australian in her life. I’m inclined to side with the first half, since the author is Australian.

[derinthescarletpescatarian]

Australians seeing something that Australians do in a different part of the country and declaring that no Australian does that is, in itself, very Australian.

[hollowedskin]

Look if she's in Perth this may very well be happening in real life. They do weird shit over there.

[squidong]

PREV TAGS WAIT DO THEY PLAY AMERICAN FOOTBALL IN AUSTRALIA???

I read “footballer” & thought “okay it’s not the US so that means soccer” but the way he’s described does sound more hulking and brutish than I generally think of soccer footballers.

Edit: looked it up. Australian rules football is more like American football than it is like soccer. Neat. This book is teaching me so many things

[squidong]

Did you just call us the c-word?

[squidong]

I’m not confused, dad! I’m just Australian!

River is the MMC, Talo is his dad. Our main couple are still not together despite the soulmate bond thing. She called River’s friend Ash “mate” to get under River’s skin because she was mad at him, and his family misinterpreted drastically.

I love this book with my entire heart. I’m posting the goofier excerpts, but it is genuinely a delightful romp. Not a satire or parody, quite genre-typical in fact, but extremely clever and heartfelt while still being willing to laugh at itself. Highly recommend for those who enjoy het romantasy.

[squidong]

WHO TOLD HER

[squidong]

Word of god, y’all, it sounds like the microplastics aren’t addressed 😔

[squidong]

I don’t think I can describe how poignant the context to this scene is, but I have been enjoying the crow-UV-color layer of worldbuilding immensely. Also, I was wondering about her colorful hair in the original viral post.

[squidong]

THE CULTURE CLASH WORDPLAY CONTINUES

[squidong]

So for context he carved a tree to represent her ex and—

[wiping away a tear] Blake baby you are so fucking perfect

[squidong]

River’s mom is trying to get Blake dolled up to seduce River, and preparing to chew her son out for failing to give his mate a proper orgasm (they still aren’t really together). Meanwhile River’s sisters are like “stop mom you’re so embarrassing”. Sex seems to be a much less taboo subject among crows.

[squidong]

The author posted a FAQ and it is delightful (link)

[anxeious]

unfortunately i have a deep love for humanity and choose to believe conditions will improve. despite it all

[txttletale]

i usually don't engage with booktok mockery because most of it is just elaborately feigning surprise that straight women can have kinks. but literally why the fuck is his job to destroy plastic

pretty sure i just lost my editing gig to ai. hate and fucking war on planet earth.

[slowspinningredemption]

like they've already made it very clear by a) ghosting me for months and b) getting my colleagues to train their stupid new ai. like i only know about this because one of my colleagues tipped me off. i imagine they're waiting to get it working before they formally let me go and fuck that. i am literally drafting my resignation lmao

[slowspinningredemption]

[slowspinningredemption]

guys. there has been an update. my spy colleague has informed me that my ex-boss is backtracking. the ai was supposed to speed things up because apparently i was unavailable too often but it turns out that another colleague has been lying about me telling him i was unavailable. i have email receipts proving this never happened.

this colleague also has beef with me because his documents were always garbage and i came back with a million corrections and called him out for mass copy-pasting. so he was just skipping the editing and saying i said i couldn't do it. and i lost my job because of it.

[slowspinningredemption]

ex-boss backtracked and ended up asking me if i'd come back not as a freelance contractor but on an actual employment basis.

[slowspinningredemption]

i declined.

[slowspinningredemption]

shoutout to all the people reblogging the version of this before my rejection letter. and especially shoutout to those people saying they're happy for me and that there's justice on this earth. i regret to inform you that my version of justice means choosing violence.

"homosexuality is unnatural! there's only two genders! it's a sin-"

I'm sorry, have you seen NATURE???

ALSO THE ARTIST IS HUMON, FIND THEM AT HUMONCOMICS.COM!! was so sure I had included that but apparently I forgot, so sorry!

and there's so many more species than this that exhibit homosexuality, varying genders, etc. SO! MANY!

it's very much a natural thing. it always has been. unfortunately, while homosexuality is found in many species, homophobia is only found in one

EDIT: added a keep reading cause this is a long post lol

EDIT: everyone in the comments needs to shut up or I will turn comments off, stop arguing, jeez

[noahsfault]

Queer 👏 people 👏 are 👏 not 👏 all 👏 fucking 👏 activists 👏

Stop quizzing us on queer history and asking us questions we aren’t qualified to answer about the world and about politics and about our identities

Stop trying to back us into a corner so you can justify your discrimination on the basis that we don’t know what we’re talking about or can’t “defend” ourselves to you

Stop treating every queer person that stands up and says “I want to be treated like a person” as if they’re an activist

Cut that bullshit out

Marginalised people just want to exist and be happy

I don’t know everything, and that doesn’t make me undeserving of your respect or my human rights you fucker

I don’t even owe you the stuff I do know- I still am entitled to basic fucking respect

TLDR; Queer people shouldn’t have to be historians or scientists for you to not be a fucking dick

[goatman-blood-enjoyer]

So people are talking shit about Markiplier now? Really? Arguably the most non-controversial wholesome silly man on youtube? And omg... The amount of lying about his beliefs is ridiculous. Okay, so here's the deal:

No, he's not an "AI bro".

He doesn't use AI in day-to-day life. He thinks ChatGPT is stupid and unethical.

He doesn't promote AI.

He only used GenAI for a couple of videos where he played around with it to showcase how bad and ridiculous it is. It was back when EVERYONE played around with it, again, because it was bad and funny. Don't be a hypocrite, most people have tried typing some silly shit into DallE just to laugh when it generated abominations instead of humans.

He used ChatGPT to look something up in a video FOR A BIT. FOR HUMOR. HE DOESN'T USE IT.

He recognizes all the harm AI is doing.

For at least a year now he has been funding out of pocket a NONPROFIT organization that is researching and trying to create an ETHICAL and USEFUL AI model.

He doesn't "love" AI. He recognizes the potential usefulness if we could actually make it good - ethical, eco-friendly, non-plagiarizing, smart. He knows we can't "fight" AI and just make it disappear as a technology. It's already there. So the smarter way to fight it is to change it fundamentally and make it into a tool for good.

So yeah. Don't attack the guy who's ACTUALLY PUTTING IN THE WORK TO SAVE US FROM BAD AI. At least watch the video where he explains everything, if you're such a big fan. If he's your favorite creator - give him the benefit of the doubt.
