decidedly unfriendly reminder that fanfiction is written by real people with real feelings for free in their free time. it's a labour of love and something to cherish. if you come across a fic that you don't enjoy, that's totally fine, but it is your due diligence as a fellow fan and decent human being to click away. leaving mean comments, absurd rating systems or harassing writers in their inbox while hiding behind an anonymous icon is not an acceptable manner to behave in any fandom and online space ever. it's disgustingly entitled, wildly disrespectful and only serves to discourage people from sharing their writing in a community that is meant to be fun and supportive. the next time you read something you don't enjoy, stop reading it and move on with your day. read something you like and leave kudos and a nice comment there instead. have some common sense and don't be a fucking asshole. it's not that fucking difficult.

like the first rule of cooking is to have fun and be yourself and the first rule of baking is to stay calm because the dough can sense fear

So often I am reminded that no one will understand Arthur Pendragon the way teenage girls on tumblr in 2013 understood Arthur Pendragon. I don't even think Arthur Pendragon understands himself the way those previously teenaged girls did. It's me. I'm one of those previously teenaged girls in 2013.

nothing is funnier to me than bilbo being like “ooh no pony no thank u would rather walk” and the dwarrow being like “lmao! you can’t fucking walk��to erebor” and then they don’t even make it half bloody way before they lose their fucking ponies and have to fucking walk

I think the most radical thing the hunger games does is tell young people that the most revolutionary thing you can do is have unconditional love for humanity. Katniss throughout the entire series is guided by a deep sense of compassion for the people around her. It is what causes her to volunteer, to bury rue, to mercy kill cato, its why she tries to save peeta, why finnick telling her to remember who the real enemy is works, and even though her compassion for the larger world falters when peeta is kidnapped, it comes back when she visits hospitals and asks for mercy for other victors and ultimately, it is love and belief in a better humanity that makes her kill coin. Through it all, she maintains an unfaltering belief in the fundemental goodness of humanity, which is diametrically opposed to dr gaul's and snow's worldview. Peeta is even more unwaveringly compassionate

So the series tells young people that the most revolutionary thing you can be is compassionate. Let compassion drive your politics. Let yourself believe in the fundemental goodness of people. And i think that's deeply important in a world that touts the superiority of pure reason or logic, to allow yourself to be guided by something as emotional as compassion. Katniss everdeen tells us that your politics should be rooted in compassion in a world that thinks detatchment or cynicism is intelligence and i think thats v cool

we won’t talk abt how scar’s powers are basically self defense, how no one can hit him while he’s on their back and he can throw people and things multiple blocks. it’s fine. we won’t talk about how much the power will help him survive the end game,,,,, and we won’t talk about how jimmy’s powers keep him hidden from people, and we won’t talk abt how Lizzie’s powers allow her an easy escape. ur honor these ppl care each other so much im afraid

gen z has to reckon with its radicalization problem. you are not a morally pure and superior generation of youth come to save the world, your men and boys are radicalized at an unprecedented level and you ignore it because it’s too hard to address but you have to. these boys are in your classes, they date your friends, you know them and you cannot continue to pretend this is an “old white guy” problem

All this episode did was further prove to me that tango definitely has teeth sharp enough to bite through anything

as far as I'm aware Joel Smallishbeans has always been a PG family friendly youtuber, but he talks like a sailor barely restraining himself from telling everyone to fuck themselves
