Agility is my dump stat. @wistelligence - Tumblr Blog

honestly, watching craft tutorials in a language you barely/don't understand feels like a rite of passage. i am but a humble student of the world, and a woman i will never know has shared her heart with me in the form of an aari embroidery tutorial by way of gestures, slow and careful demonstration, and a gentle tone of encouragement, and i am forever grateful to this stranger to whom i cannot speak for allowing me to learn from her in my bedroom on the other side of the world

#honestly it really does make me smile #i've done it with knitting and crochet and dozens of other crafts picked up and soon forgotten #but i love it every time

people with ‘scary’ and ‘weird’ mental issues i love you.

i love schizophrenics. i love psychotic people, i love people on the schizospectrum, i love people with DID and OSDD, i love people with NPD, i love people with PPD, i love people with SPD, i love people with ASPD, i love people with personality disorders, i love people who hallucinate, people who have delusions, and people who have paranoia. i love people who are mentally ill in ways that are viewed as strange and scary by society.

it is not your fault that you struggle. you are valid. you are deserving of care and you are deserving of love. your issues do not negate any of that.

"Online fandoms used to be kinder" buddy, when I was a teenager people used to build entire websites as "hate shrines" to specific characters they disliked, then get together and form webrings entirely devoted to hating that character. A puzzling number concerned the girlfriends of random X-Men.

People used to "Grammar Police" fanfiction. They'd leave anonymous comments on stories... except for, they weren't actual comments, they were literal citations for daring to publish a fanfic that wasn't professionally edited and had some typos in it.

There was a whole-ass forum (probably more than one but I only remember the one) on fanfiction.net that was called “The Fireplace” because it was where people went to coordinate “flames”/“flaming,” aka “leaving mean reviews.”

The entire reason I know of My Immortal is that I was playing truth or dare in a different forum, was dared to flame a fic, and I Googled “worst fanfic ever” because I figured that fic would deserve it more than a random one I came across.

i think it's really fun when a rly specific trope is super popular in one particular medium but in other ones it's just totally unheard of. it's the time knife. visual novel players are suuuuper used to death games but many others encountered them for the first time in squid games. the other day my mom showed me all excited the summary of a super original novel she found and it was about a girl who got reincarnated as the main character in her favorite fantasy book

things in fic I'm used to people kind of faking their way through writing about:

the city of los angeles

the city of new york

sex

how drinking alcohol works

how getting high works

how a child of any age speaks

how nuclear physics work

how [my job] works

how debilitating being shot in the shoulder is

how hypothermia works

things I have never before seen someone fake their way through writing about, until today:

what french toast is

I’m an omnivore but a hot take of mine (albeit not a hill I will die on) is that it was counterproductive to turn vegetarian/vegan into strict identities and shame anyone vegetarian-adjacent who eats meat once in a while as weak-willed or a hypocrite. I think someone who has a pork dumpling every now and then still exhibits discipline and has more in common with a vegetarian than someone who eats steak and bacon every day and turning reducing meat into an all-or-nothing thing just discourages people

PLEASE I'm begging the neopagan girlies to stop spreading misinformation online, because I've just seen someone argue in earnest that the UK government has banned swimming in the ancient geo-thermal spring at Bath due to a hatred of 'native Celtic spirituality', and completely ignoring the fact that it was closed after a girl contracted a brain-eating amoeba and fucking died

Watching a video summarizing the "secret final Stranger Things episode" conspiracy theory and while I know this can't happen for countless reasons I think exactly one show should actually do "shitty finale followed by surprise follow-up episode redeeming the entire thing" exactly once so that everyone who likes this stuff will forever be inflicted with false hope like in the below tweet
