to my student who emailed me today asking if she should title her essay “what does grendel eat for breakfast? danish” or “no arm, no foul,” thank you. you don’t know that i was in the middle of hashing out how i’m handling your classmate’s intentional plagiarism, but receiving that email reminded me that some of you take your teenage rebellions in the right direction, and i love u for that.
a lot of my autism masking is just making myself more palatable for other people and my therapist said "does spock make himself 'more palatable' for others?" and had me promise to keep unmasking like:
hey itll be okay. blorbo covered in blood
Found Family'd so hard that the retelling just counts him as part of the main cast from the start.

so many. stupid fucking people. smugly wrong. the term . "all art is political". does not mean. every artist puts political intent into their work. no. the guy drawing dicks on the subway did not intend any deep message by it. HOWEVER. all art. IS political. he chose to draw that dick. for a reason. society shaped what he finds funny. what he finds shocking. the fact he chose to draw a dick at all says something about his society. actually, the fact it is a dick and not a pussy is itself political. we are all. ALL. shaped by our environments. in an alternate universe a woman is drawing a vulva on the wall. and shes saying "TCH! this isnt political. stupid liberals". all art. has political CONTEXT. that is a more specific way to phrase it. because we live in a society. who has access to art? where is the art located? who is the artist? why did they draw that in that specific location. what led to them even having the sharpie they used to draw the dick to begin with. their society shaped their tools! their society shaped their choice of subject! their society shaped the location of their art! but these people are too stupid to understand this. so theyll continue pretending that they are not shaped by their political environment. SAD!
out of all the posts ive made that have blown up this has to be the most fascinating Given how i was too drunk to remember how to form full sentences. but was i wrong? no.
asking for praise for a thing you made feels so humiliating like oooh look at me I’m a little animal and I did a trick and made a thing can I have pets and treats about it. and then somebody tells you it’s good and you understand why golden retrievers are the way they are
I... DONT... LIKE... CHANGE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! [MY TELEKINESIS THROWS EVERYTHING ACROSS THE ROOM] [I SEE MY ITEMS STREWN ABOUT THE ROOM AND GET EVEN MORE UPSET]
Unofficial Autism Post
situation dire. i've been saying 'huzzah', 'alas', and 'tis unironically for like a year now. harmless so far.
however. i hath noticed i now mark half of my goodbyes with 'i must away'. it's spreading
Dear Lord please not this post. I promise I'm cooler than this
The evil wizard found this post. Its so fucking over for me
you’re fucked. man
two cats
Listen, I think D&D goblins as lil bat-like folk accurately captures everything that people really like about them while avoiding some of the troubling implications.
Lives in a cave or an otherwise dim setting? Check, bats do that.
Eats beetles and things? Check, bats do that.
Big, mobile ears? Yep, bat feature.
Sharp teeth for biting? Also a bat feature!
Bats live in big groups and scientists have found they “argue” a lot. Also sounds like fantasy goblin stuff!
Bonus? FLUFFYE.
tldr; BAT-GOBLINS
I had to throw down some quick doodles because I love this idea. Possibly a bit too literally Bat to start, but I hope I remember to play around with this more later.
okay but there is something disquieting about this urge to cast fan writers as altruists. they give us all this for free!! well, no.
they’re sharing
it’s a key difference in perception. fic isn’t given. it’s shared. it’s part of a fandom community— in which readers are also an integral part.
it’s probably inevitable mission creep from the increasingly transactional nature of the internet and fandom-as-consumerism, which was always gonna happen after corps worked out how much bank there is to make from those weirdo fan people
but like. fandom is sharing. i think we’ve lost that somewhere.
i think the reason "fiction affects reality" trips so many people up is because they think it means "engaging with media that depicts uncomfortable subjects will taint your soul" when really all it means is that "fiction is meant to reflect certain ideas of the world intentionally or not, and it's going affect your perception of it, if you don't go in with a healthy bit of skepticism"
like playing a first person shooter isn't going to turn you into a school shooter, but that doesn't mean that Call of Duty isn't like. explicitly military propaganda.
or (for a more specific but also weirdly common example) enjoying horror movies isn't going to turn you into a serial killer, but if you watch a lot of horror where the killer is "a gender confused man who kills women whilel dressed in drag, because his repressed female split personality hates his attraction to women because it gives her gender dysphoria" than you should like. be a bit criticial of what you're enjoying. or something like that.
But at the end of it, the point shouldn't be "certain kinds of stories should not be enjoyed by anyone bc they will warp you" and more like "please use your brain sometimes when watching/reading/playing things because every single story has messages in it about important ideas"
Even if sometimes the message is "the author/artist etc put zero thought into this idea bc it's something people make blind assumptions about"
I don't even think you Must Perform Criticism Of Thing Or It's Bad And You're Bad
Just like, have thoughts idk, be curious about what things mean, have that be something that matters to you sometimes
Cats will sit outside your closed bedroom door beeping so sadly and brokenly and then when you finally let them in they walk around for 10 seconds and leave
This is due to territory, not sadness. Cats feel they own your house. Every room is territory. When you close a door, they can no longer do a full territory check. In the wild, a territory check can be miles long. So, you open the door, they have a sniff for enemies or changes. Done.
Also, you're their territory/family. They need to check on you, too.
we need to bring back inviting people over for cake and coffee. my grandma used to do that all the time and I think it's a lost art
“You put porn in child safe spaces.” Then why do the “child safe spaces” have ratings and tags, Karen?
AO3 AND TUMBLR ARE NOT CHILD SAFE SPACES. Yes, it’s true that a lot of child safe spaces are being destroyed on the internet, but ao3 and tumblr are not those places and were never meant to be. LEARN TO CURATE YOUR OWN INTERNET EXPERIENCE OR GET OFF THE INTERNET.
i feel strongly about this
