I feel like not enough people realize that people under enormous strain act really really fucking Weird

Companies in the 2000s: You wouldn't download a car! Digital copies are still stealing, even if the original copy remains with us.

Companies in the 2020s: That digital copy, which you have paid for, doesn't really belong to you. We're removing it from your library now.

Companies deleting media you've literally purchased is 1000x more realistically "stealing" than digital piracy, you cannot change my mind

so, something about occtis and thimble that’s been on my mind for a few days now:

they’re frequently coded by the fandom as being best friends. it’s clear there’s a strong connection between them, and occtis considers thimble one of two people in the world who cares about him. BUT.

how long has it actually been since they’ve seen each other?

in the overture, thimble remarks to occtis, ‘you grew up.’ she comments on not knowing how in with his family he still is. she is frequently surprised by his capability with magic. so how long has it actually been since occtis and thimble have spent a real amount of time together? it seems more like a ‘childhood friends’ kind of deal, but also realistically how often was occtis truly in thimble’s company?

and it’s actually so heartbreaking that despite however much time has passed, occtis doesn’t have anyone else he considers that close other than thaisha. no one from the penteveral, no one from just being in the city of dol-makjar. how much of that is that people avoided him because of his name and his family?

and how interesting it’s going to be to see thimble and occtis actually having to almost get to know each other again, depending on how much time has passed since they were in company. I think they very much have rose-colored glasses on regarding their memories of one another - and that’s not to say their friendship isn’t still real and valid and important! but thimble probably isn’t aware of quite how steeped in death and weird shit occtis is, just as occtis probably isn’t aware of how reckless and judgmental thimble can be. I think the prospect of them realizing they don’t actually know each other all that well anymore is way more interesting than just a ‘oh the childhood friends are back together and everything is great’ feel.

This is a reminder for those who handmake Christmas presents that now is not too early to start. It may in fact be a good time to start if you have a lot to make/your craft takes a long time. You should maybe start it now, whether that's brainstorming or actually doing the crafts!

hold on a fucking second. delaware is a state?? i thought it was a river? or is the river more important than the state? why don't i know this? (i should mention i don't like in america, i'm just confused)

there is delaware (state) and delaware (river) 

both are equally strange

the state is a tiny little cryptid thing

the rive is a monster that spans new york, pennsylvania, new jersey and delaware. also washington crossed it once and that was like kinda a big deal i guess. like crossing the rubicon in rome.

the state tries to me more important with its “im the first state!!!” bs (seriously its even on the fucking license plates) but we all know. its the river.

[dear-ao3]

THATS TUPPERWARE

[sobutmermaids]

i thought delaware was a place in ohio? why are there so many things named delaware?

[dear-ao3]

Pausing here to point out that op is “dear-AO3″ and now I’m wondering if Delaware fanfic would be categorized as RSF (real state fic) or AU (alternate unitedstates)

Thats Darth Vader. Im pretty sure Delaware is that other red-laser sword guy. You know. The one that stabbed Qui-Gon.

[gallusrostromegalus]

This is fantastic because it goes great with my theory that Delaware only exists for tax purposes. Like, all the states really only exists for Tax Purposes, but Delaware is particularly fake because back in 2012 I got lost in the Alleged Delaware Area looking trying to get to a family reunion, but every time I pulled over for directions, I would ask what the hell state I was in now, and I went through Mayland, Pennsylvania, New Jersey AND Virginia and I never fucking found Delaware but I did eventually find the Family Reunion and earned the repsepct of my then-prospective- Great-Grandmother-In-Law by saving her favorite grandchildren from a furious oceangoing horse so I’m convinced that not only is the state a purely legal construct, they didn’t even dedicate any landmass to it, or it’s a gov’t blackzone where the carnivorous horses live.

[artistformerlyknownasbutttrumpet]

i was training a young person at work, and she referred to sexual assault as "SA" out loud, and i immediately was like, "no, it's sexual assault, call it what it is," bc idgaf if the algorithm overlords have taught y'all that you should fear direct language, how tf do any of you expect to ever address real issues with any amount of seriousness if you can't even say the words? imagine an advocate looking a sexual assault survivor in the eyes and asking "did he grape you?" it's absolutely fucking absurd, but these young interns and new hires are coming into an environment where we deal with survivors of all different kinds of abuse, and they're coming with the mindset that the words are as bad as the actions, and that makes them shitty at the job and look juvenile af

i HATE self-censorship for a lot of reasons, but being in crisis work makes it even more frustrating. who are you censoring for? like i am being so fr, WHO are you censoring for? have you even thought it through? people who have been raped know that they have been raped. if someone attempts suicide or is grieving someone who did, saying "sewer slide" isn't going to protect them from any of the feelings. a murder victim's family isn't going to feel better bc you said "unalived" instead of murdered. if anything, it's just extremely invalidating and othering. it's saying "what happened to you is so bad that i won't even say the word," which is NOT trauma-informed care. you are not protecting survivors/victims when you self-censor. the ONLY things you protect when you self-censor are the puritanical ideologies that are being encouraged by rich fascists who want your money and obedience

say the fucking words, guys. just say the goddamn words before i go insane!!!
