Nerdy In Neverland

I'm Emily. Gray asexual lady of the world and random reblogger. Multi-fandom blog that definitely goes through phases. Feminism, Asexuality, superheroes, and Teen Wolf all seem to be here to stay.

compilation of drawings for a vaphne kingdom AU (loosely inspired by sword and the scoob, and the "greece is the word" ep from be cool, scooby-doo) something i was doing last year with @artistic-mathematics :D

[office-anomaly]

here's fred and shaggy :D fred is the chief strategist and velma's confidant/closest friend. shaggy is fred's most trusted scout (along with his loyal hound, scooby), who is sent to covertly investigate the identity of the mysterious sir blake

"lock in" is probably one of the most important phrases to enter the public lexicon in the 2020s

things that would exist if intellectual property wasn't a thing

so much cheap generic medication. reverse engineering compounds would be even more financially profitable.

fewer people dead of vaccine preventable illnesses in the global south bc the greatest barrier to distributing some vaccines like hpv is their ip

plant seeds and grafts that come from the plants instead of licensing them. don't invest so much in preventing cross contamination. more localised experimental breeding.

library of the world: every book and journal article in the world could be digitised and be searchable for every person in the world to read regardless of where they live. cheap reprint runs and local translations everywhere.

an online interface where every citation could actually lead to the text in question

freedom from the hell that is DRM software

everytime someone reverse engineered your shitty proprietary software we would all be freed from it instead of them getting DMCA'd

so much hardware would be opened up & therefore made so much cooler.

so many more songs that riff off and sample and interpolate shit from this decade instead of like 70 years ago and more analysis of music that didn't keep getting nuked off the internet

preserving movies and tv shows and games as long as someone, somewhere has the desire to host them

just go publish your fanfic/art/vid as is instead of all us pretending it isn't fanwork or begging the corporation for mercy / licensing

a world without ip lawyers. im getting chills just imagining it.

There would be a lot more people dying of vaccine-preventable illnesses, because nobody would develop the vaccines in the first place since there's no way to make money off them. Similarly with generic medications: there wouldn't be anything to reverse-engineer.

[nyantara]

hasn't heard of publicly funded research ^ (accounts for 90% of compulsory vaccines and illnesses common in poor countries)

This Dan Piraro comic always makes me cry.

yeah yeah rainbow capitalism is bad and whatever but like. when I was a child, being pro gay was not the popular or lucrative choice. I'm happy that times have changed.

[storm-of-feathers]

I miss rainbow capitalism. I do. I miss when it felt like public opinion was still pro gay. I understand it was always an empty gesture, but it mattered in a sense of knowing how socially acceptable being queer is. If that makes sense.

[mysharona1987]

They semi-cancelled Timothee Chalamet for simply saying he found opera and ballet boring, by the way.

How does Hollywood work these days?

Being a bit of a naive, foolish young man and (wrongfully) calling opera and ballet irrelevant?

“You must apologise immediately! No Oscar for you.”

Acknowledging you stole terrified teenage girls from their bedrooms?

“Eh, you get a pass.”

[mysharona1987]

Kidnapping teenage girls seems kind of worse than being stupid and uncultured, in the grand scheme of things.

[mysharona1987]

”Well, Tim is dating a Kardashian sister.”

Embarrassing as it is, this other man admitted to war crimes.

Putting the term "Catholic guilt" on a high shelf where fandom can't reach it until everyone learns how to identify characters who are very very clearly coded as Protestant.

[pusheenthenerdcat]

actually a fantastic metaphor because

-derek is fun

-but he is not an adequate mental health support for janet

-once derek started causing concerns for the wellbeing of the 'society' they lived in and the safety of humans he had to get put away in a box in the void

-eventually they figured out some jobs he is helpful for in specific scenarios

-you should not take his word for anything

[justplainsalty]

he has wind chimes instead of a penis

that apparently still does it for people if they're lonely enough

even the lonely people eventually get tired of and annoyed by him

[sabertoothwalrus]

I love when someone is explaining instructions to a group I’m in and they look at me and it reminds them to say something about using preferred names/pronouns or that there’s vegan food options available. I go by my given name/pronouns and I’m not vegan but I’m proud that I can provide this service

Conservative beauty standards are back with a vengeance which means it's especially important to go out this summer with bellies out and bodies unshaved. Also be unapologetically disabled with mobility aids and wearable medical devices and stim toys and ear defenders and all that stuff. You need it. People need to see it. Everyone needs to be reminded that life is unquestioningly more enjoyable when you're not living inside an arbitrary set of rules created by people who are offended by all the wrong things.
