Hot take: Actual literary analysis requires at least as much skill as writing itself, with less obvious measures of whether or not you’re shit at it, and nobody is allowed to do any more god damn litcrit until they learn what the terms “show, don’t tell” and “pacing” mean.

tfw "popular" fanon becomes so embedded in a fandom & discussions within fandom spaces that people just start treating it as the default and all interactions with others are coloured by this interpretation. have you considered that I actually don't subscribe to this take, which is nowhere in the source material? wait nvm, clearly not.

Hard pill to swallow, maybe, but sometimes you are the problem. You may not have been initially, but people around you can only have so much endurance for understanding why you're "like that" and how you got to where you are now. Even if you were the one who was victimized, hurt, or abused to begin with, your behavior affects those around you. There's a point at which personal responsibility needs to kick in, or you will become toxic. You can become toxic even if you never become an abuser yourself. If other people are constantly having to help dig you out of the holes you made but you keep slapping their hands away, you cannot expect them to have an indefinite amount of patience and energy to keep trying. If you're not putting in the work to recover from what damaged you; if everyone else in your life is consistently the only one making a real effort to effect change for you--you're the problem.

it disturbs me that a significant number of people think that the issue with sexual violence, gendered violence, and misogyny is sexual desire rather than dehumanization, so they are relentlessly suspicious of others' (and their own) desires while simultaneously never at all interrogating others' (and their own) dehumanizing beliefs about other people, both within and outside of sexual contexts

"having a moral compass means knowing who to tell to kill themselves" <- real thing i just saw someone say unironically

Seeing tumblr users tag their blorboposts with "gay panic" is making me insane. This term does not mean what you all think it means.

Love it when Rolling Stone puts out an article about the 25 most influential internet creators and I've only heard of 7 of them

How to spend a rainy day

[beetaur]

I'm very bad at posts like this but if people want to help then whatever can be done is very much appreciated

On August 2nd, a hit and run suspect driving on the highway lost her wheel and the rim of her tire cast sparks on the dry grass near my parent's property where my husband, myself, and our Ark of Animals lived in our Winnebago RV.

The grass caught the bushes and the bushes caught the trees, and the trees caught the RV. And so on and so forth.

We were alerted of the fire by people driving by that had actually tried to stop it, but when a strong breeze blew the fire out of control, they ran to pound on our door. We had 60 seconds for get dogs and ferrets out before going back in to look for cats but by then the RV was already on fire and starting to come apart.

Within 30 minutes we lost pretty much everything except the clothes on our backs. The fire spread to the back, where luckily someone had thought to cut the fence to set my horses loose, where they were soon rounded up by a neighbor. They managed to save the main house but the rest of the property was leveled; from our RV to the 1000 square-foot storage building, to the barn. 5 acres just wiped out.

We lost our car, my truck, two horse trailers, 20 years of horse equipment, 13 years of archery gear, and most tragically, two cats.

We have to rebuild from the ground up. Thanks to the kindness of friends and strangers, we were given a car, most of my tack has been replaced, and I'm on my way to having my archery arsenal replaced but that does need me in need of a truck and horse trailer, as well as feed and building materials. I'm working full time but winter comes fast and it's just going to get more difficult.

If you have a couple spare dollars lying around, here is my

We are also very much grateful for gift cards for Walmart, Wilco/Coastal, Home Depot, or Lowes

Also, I feel the need to say, if you don't want to donate to a faceless person on a random hell site, please please PLEASE consider doning to the Red Cross if your able, or reblog if you're not.

Many thanks and much love 💚🫶

It would be a little funny if Braius wasn't connected to Asmodeus at all and just wishful thinking'd his way into being like this. He's lying.... even to himself

My druid successfully avoided to raise "Do you look differently at me" topic with Lae'zel and thought she so smart. So fucking naive. Today she was confronted with exclamation mark, triggering the confession right away 🫠So much for avoiding romantic conversations with companions. We barely did navigate magic learning scene with Gale after avoiding him at party and now this. Even more funny that it happened right after killing Ethel, her corpse didn't even collide with dirt yet when exclamation mark appeared lol. So sexy of Dras to kill a hag after being on non-lethal damage for so long(I did turn it off specifically to kill Ethel. And if we confront another hag, she will DIE TOO).
