I genuinely think Mouthwashing fandom is a good example on how real life misogyny is very wired on people brains and influenced how they engage with fictional misogyny.
You have a story about a woman being assaulted and telling a man he trusted but being dismissed because he is friends with the attacker, and people fixate on shipping her with either of those men.
You have a story about how men that downplay their male friends violence, assume neutrality is the safer option, unintentionally help create an environment that's unsafe to vulnerable people, at a risk becoming a victim themselves. And people make it about toxic yaoi.
You have a character kill herself because she didn't want birth the child of her abuser. And people make AUs where she happily keep the baby.
Misogyny isn't just "I hate this women", it's also downplaying their trauma, defending those who caused it, and reducing them to mothers or wives against their wished under this idea of what womanhood is about.
I don't think we can separate fandom misogyny from it's real world influence, not yet.

If any one of my posts is to break containment, make it this one.
Before January 2025, download your favorite fics, especially those with smut or queer content.
If Project 2025 goes into effect (which it very likely will now that we have three red branches of government in the US), they may attempt to restrict the use/sharing of media on sites like ao3.
This particularly applies to fics with smut or any type of queer content, because the official Project 2025 document states, "Pornography, manifested today in the omnipresent propagation of transgender ideology and sexualization of children, for instance... has no claim to First Amendment protection... Pornography should be outlawed."
Now, I don't expect ao3 to disappear or go anywhere without a fight, but it's best to be on the safe side these days.
To download your favorite fics:
Go to archiveofourown.org and open the fic you want to download.
At the top right corner, to the right of the 'subscribe' button, is a button that says 'download'. Click it.
A drop-down menu will give you the option to choose the format of your download. Choose your preferred format (.epub and .pdf are my personal favorites -- .epub lets you open a fic in the apple books app and .pdf is compatible with like every device and program out there).
When you click the button for your preferred format, a pop-up window appears confirming your choices. The title of the document will default to the title of the fic, so be aware of that and consider changing conspicuous titles to something ignorable, especially if you share the computer.
You're done! Now do this with all your favorite fics!
Stay safe out there, your favorite characters are rooting for you <3

Lolligag
Og design by Okultra on toyhouse
Finally gave my guy an updated ref and MUCH needed twink death. We learn and grow guys. I’ve been enjoying this ‘paint’ style too, drawing all on one layer is very therapeutic and you’ll probably see more of it, it’s kinda gnarly and captures their essence well.
Random character/design notes:
Lolligag is a wandering concept in lore, so I figured to change their arrow markings to compass ones.
The ‘wishbone’ wound is inspired by concept art for Silent Hill Ascension but serves lore purposes in that it is the ‘missing part’ they’re always wandering aimlessly through dimensions and zones to find.
Crude scars and infected surgical wounds are from an unknown cause, intentionally making them sorta plushlike in appearance (as well as body type).
Sentient intestines. The amount of straps/belts they wear stops them from getting out through their wounds. They will try.
Perpetually disassociated.
Way shorter now! in the 5’-5’5 range.
Their large wounds are still uncomfortable to have out in the open, so remains masked and geared, my doodles are just playing with their body type but they don’t take their gear off
Here’s some extra doodles.

Revenge for RobotOcelot of their oc buckles. :) I thought it’d be cool if they were stitched up and in constant disrepair they’d learn to sew + in doing so found a love for textiles and design

Newest (possibly last) attack for art fight. Been struggling with motivation but the time it took to make this seems to have payed off, proud of this one. I’ve been meaning to draw more goopy and gory stuff.

Going through older videos I found this from years ago and thought it may interest you.
This was taken at a tide pool at Bar Beach on the east coast of Australia.
I spotted something in here that didn’t quite look like a rock and it turned out to be this little octopus.
The animal was very curious and interactive and would reach out for my finger so I could pull it through the water.
It felt like it was playing a game with me and this process of holding my finger and getting pulled through the water then darting back repeated for quite some time and it was more me who ended the interaction as couldn’t stick around at the beach much longer.
At no point in the interaction did I hold its tentacle myself so it being pulled by me was entirely of its own decision as if it wanted to it could let go at any time.
I still think about it now and wonder if it tried playing this game with others who got close enough.
This was my first hands on interaction with an octopus and what surprised me was just how gentle and precise it was with its tentacle arm when it reached for and held my finger.
I feel so lucky to have been in just the right place at the right time to have gotten to experience this and I definitely understand how people who have these experiences with octopus say it’s like a bond you can’t quite describe forms between you and it.
————————————
This is incredible and I love this octopus so much
