my favorite thing about navigating fanfiction is finding a really good one and being all “oh boy this was good, I hope they have more!” and literally every other story they’ve ever written was for like Miami Vice

#a lot of the time this happens because someone in their 40’s got into 1 new thing and threw a fic at it before resuming business as usual#like sorry gang they’re not a youth who’s weirdly into your mom’s shows they’re your mom who played genshin impact

"it would be so good if it was good" will haunt you but "it's extremely good, except for the one or two parts which are so bad it's genuinely kind of insulting" will straight up drive you insane

[maxknightley]

one has you making posts like "okay but if the author UNDERSTOOD the POLITICAL IMPLICATIONS of the story they were telling, and leaned into it, it would actually be a really interesting exploration of..."

the other has you pacing your bedroom at one in the morning going "why. why would you ever in a million years do it like that. genuinely what possible thought process was involved. was the writer possessed by a fucking ghost or something."

all i want for 2026 is that gigantic rancid AI bubble to finally burst in such a catastrophic way that the consequences will be so good and i'll never have to see another AI generated image ever again

This is an awesome use of what is probably a master's degree if not a doctorate and I am 100% thrilled that she shared it even though it was embarrassing and she squeaked.

Actually, before it dies down completely, I do need to be angry for a minute about how misogynistic and infantilizing it is to explicitly depict people shipping their fem WoLs with Emet as just "not getting" his queer coding.

Divorcing this bullshit from the biphobia for a minute to focus on the misogyny, people fucking get it. It's not subtle.

I have a documented timestamped liveplay of my FFXIV experience on this blog, the first thing I clocked about Emet-Selch was how flamboyantly queer coded he was. You can search back through the years of "Caitlin Plays FF14" on my blog to see for your fucking self.

Alternatively, if you're not willing to believe me about that, you could believe that I'm not some sheltered ingenue freshly out of the womb and have existed in proximity to pop culture and seen like, any Disney movie before 2015. Anybody who knows anything about the Hayes code, queer history, or has existed even in proximity to any film or any queer spaces for all of 2 entire minutes knows how to clock 'gay' stereotypes. ESPECIALLY flamboyant queer coded villains. It's extremely insulting, infantilizing, and patronizing to insinuate that these dumbass women just don't get it and that's the only possible reason why they ship their WoL with the most popular NPC in the entire fucking game.

People GET IT. They choose to interpret that as somewhere on the bi spectrum, somewhere on the ace spectrum, Emet's or their WoL's identity as somewhere off-center on the grand multifaceted sphere of gender, or that the Ancients who could shape shift and live for fucking ever maybe didn't have narrow definitions of either gender or sexuality, or any myriad other possible interpretation that there's just as much textual evidence for if you want to get academic and pedantic about it.

It's so fucking insulting and dismissive of women to cosign that shit. Fuck, dude.

given the current climate this pride especially i feel i must mention that i love my trans friends, i stand with trans people in the fight against transphobic legislation and those who would enforce it, and this blog is not a good place for you to be if you do not vibe with that

the thing about being a homeschool abolition hardliner is that people always want to come to you with some bullshit sob story about how you hate disabled people because they were bullied for being autistic and homeschooling was so amazing for them. and it's just like well unfortunately homeschooling is also a widespread tool of coercive control in child abuse used by christofascists to raise kids without the tools they need to function in the world so that they will always be afraid, dependent, and unable to think critically and discern right from wrong and truth from lies. so unfortunately i do think this is a situation where in order to prevent enormous harm to untold numbers of children those bullied kids who just don't wanna go to school are going to have to suck it up. (and in reality what i always propose is a more robust system of alternative/magnet public schooling set up for kids who are basically on grade level but who DO struggle to thrive in a mainstream setting, but nobody ever wants to hear that, they just want to guilt you for not thinking anyone who ever gets picked on should just get to stay home and play vidya and do all their lessons on zoom. and it's like honestly i don't think you're having this argument in good faith bc you are very much centering hypothetical discomfort you MIGHT HYPOTHETICALLY have experienced over, again, widespread child abuse and neglect. so.)

[roycohn]

so i watched the netflix documentary about piper rockelle yesterday and i would like to once again humbly suggest that homeschooling be permanently abolished and perhaps even criminalized

[cardassiangoodreads]

You learn that the homeschool lobby is literally the reason the USA is one of a single-digit number of countries that never ratified the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child, and you just aren’t the same since
