The upshot of people demanding others put their age in their bio is. Frustrating. And annoying. "What if you're a minor" what if I'm old enough that I was raised not to put my goddamn personal information on the internet. What if that.

"I am going to get a good grade in ___________, a thing that is both normal to want and possible to achieve" drifts through my brain with positively alarming regularity.

“middle aged women shouldn’t participate in fandom” and you think it’s teenagers that are writing those brilliant, incisive 100k fics of your favourite characters

I don't need a double-boiler, I can make one easy with a large saucepan and a small metal mixing bowl. But goddamn, lookit that.

The entire x-files creative team: Continuity? Never heard of her. Show bible? No. Is Mulder a psychologist? Maybe. Did Mulder and Scully meet in 1992 or 1993? Who knows!

Also the entire x-files creative team: We WILL remember Mulder has a waterbed.

Good to see Alistair is as evasive and sarcastic as ever.

Do people actually like quote books, movies, and TV shows in casual conversation because I refuse to believe that that's true. I legit cannot remember a single quote from anything that I have ever watched or read and you're telling me that people can quote full on paragraphs from their favourite book and it's not just a movie trope to show that they're a nerd.

damn, y'all are big mad that rape simulator 3000 isn't available anymore

i know that it must be really easy for you to sit behind anon and feel morally superior saying this, because the nature of the media that institutions are trying to ban is NSFW and kinky, thus making it "embarrassing" and difficult to defend. But the fact that it's easy to cast opposition in a light that presents them all as "degenerate" perverts and therefore incentivises people to take warning voices less seriously is something worth examining. Sex workers have always been canaries in the coal mine for encroaching fascism and puritanism because "protecting the kids" is a slogan that is, on paper, impossible to oppose, but always ALWAYS is the start of a slippery slope of censorship that grows to include sexual liberation, queer existence, queer joy, and transparency in queer medical help.

Banning content purely because it's obscene has always been a dangerous sentiment because noone has the same parameters of what's appropriate. Trans people just existing is obscene to some. That doesn't make them more morally correct when they bang their drums for trans representation to be eradicated. You bring up "rape simulator 3000" as evidence that we need limitations on NSFW media. Okay. So what did you say when Mouthwashing was banned, a game that explicitly depicted sexual assault in the context of male accountability, and moved thousands of people online? Is all art depicting anything unsavoury, no matter the intention, destined to be stripped from the internet? Are the SA victims who deal with their trauma and reclaim their bodies through SA roleplay worthy of shame and derision for not doing it in a sanitised way you approve of?

Are you truly prepared to let your government, wherever you live, decide what is suitable for you to come across online? How far would you be willing to take that? Are governments allowed to disrupt BDSM forums? Are websites educating people about appropriate knifeplay or CNC set to be wiped off the face of the earth? Or have you, in a desire to cater your own online experience, become someone who arrogantly orders for the table without asking what everyone wants to eat?

Hey Cole, why are you standing in the fire?

[alexsrandomramblings]

I really need to bring Cole along in the same party as Blackwall more often.

I know that Dorian is technically a necromancer, but nothing about him or the way he fights really reads as necromancer to me.

I swear, this game pushes so hard for you to romance Solas if you're playing an elven woman on good terms with him that I'm half convinced he falls in love with Lavellan regardless.
