“house is referencing brokeback mountain OMG what did the writers MEAN by this is he actually queercoded—” I’m gonna stop you right there. i know most people in the fandom revival were barely conscious and aware of the world in 2006 but brokeback mountain was basically the butt of all jokes back then. It was an earnestly-made, well-adapted, heartbreaking movie about queerness and desire and repression in rural America but the general public’s sense of humour was still extremely homophobic, every mainstream tv show was punching down, the movie was an unexpected mainstream hit and pop culture phenomenon, and because of that it was prime target for cheap references and punch-down jokes.

“I wish I knew how to quit you” was a punchline. you did not need to watch the movie to know it was referencing The Gay Cowboy Movie (Tee Hee) because it was made into a joke by every late-night talk show host, wannabe standup comic, and meme generator website. the house md writers did not mean anything by this. the media landscape of the mid-2000’s was just that fucking toxic and openly resentful towards queerness in general back then.

Laptops are always so much more Fucked than phones in my experience. A laptop is like a beautiful horse that wants nothing more than to break all of its legs. A decently solid android phone will act normal

There are few more infuriating feelings than being talked down to by someone who assumes they understand your question, but, in fact, they are smugly answering a completely different question. Especially when they won't allow you to clarify.

the scene in hellboy (2004) when hellboy is telling liz he wishes he could do something about "all of this" *gestures vaguely to his face* but all the while he is shirtless and utterly jacked is SO funny to me. real twilight "this is the skin of a KILLER BELLA"

Man the way a lot of the "people don't comment enough" scoldposting goes is so weird to me...

Like idk, don't get me wrong, commenting on fic is kind of part of the social fabric of Fandom, it's part of how you build connection in this social space and it's part of how you like, build on a fanwork (comments can be in fact additive! Again let's step away from the ficwriter supremacy and acknowledge how much creative work is collective)

But also like the song and dance people do about it (how will the writers keep writing on!) is like super weird. Acknowledge and accept that a certain portion of a community is only ever gonna lurk. That's like, normal.

Also hilarious are attempts to cajole and dictate where a discussion can happen. Nooooo don't use discord!! Noo don't use closed or temporary spaces. Listen. I'm gonna fucking whisper it to the wind if you don't stop this. The number one thing you can do to make me not comment on your shit is to put all this weird aggressive pressure on me.
