Wake me up when Trump is pregnant and they’re having a Fox news special hosted by Maury fucking Pauvich to reveal Kid Rock is the father

Trump is dead this and Trump is dead that. The obvious answer for Trump's sudden disappearance is that Trump has gone into his very first heat and the Whitehouse is trying to cover up that he's an Omega

I hate that the "x reader" or "x Y/N" style of fanfic has become sooooo popular, partially because it's just not for me and partially because they clog general non-fic related tags and those authors seem allergic to the "read more" function on this website, but ALSO because I believe that you should have to go through the trouble of creating an absolutely batshit self-insert character, with a backstory that makes no sense and a name that doesn't really gel with the aesthetics of the universe. Legolas and Aragorn should be in a love triangle with Kylie, the angsty sixteen year old half-human half-elf and inexplicable tenth member of the Fellowship. Do the WORK. If everyone was doing "Y/N" nonsense back in the day, there would be no Ebony Dark'ness Dementia Raven Way, or probably Bella Swan. These are important women. They deserve to be named, confusingly and with no regard for the fictional world they inhabit.

unavoidable that you will be the villain in someone else's story. You will be painted in an unfavorable light. You will be the irredeemable one. and all of this will happen despite how nice you might usually be or how kind or how respectful or how warm. and you will just have to move on.

Hey so... weird question, but since a lot of people have been messaging you saying 'thanks' for showcasing that being a parent isn't terrible, I have... a question:

Did you ever run into a situation, or in the very early beginnings of things when you just had Penny, did you ever find that you had no feelings towards her whatsoever? There is a part of me concerned with the fact that, if my spouse and I do have a kid, I'm just going to look at them as a task. *NOT* a bad task, but a task, one akin to, I don't fucking know... feeding the cats, or dusting. And it's wouldn't be for lack of trying- I just have really bad mental health, and though I love my spouse, there are days so dark and still that my love for them is more textbook knowledge than a feeling, and I have to wait for the feeling to eventually come back. Have you ever been through that, or anyone you know? If so, what did you/they do? (You don't have to answer this if you don't want to- I get you probably have fifty million questions like this about a plethora of things. I just figured... I have no one else I know who I can ask, and we gain nothing from not trying)

Okay so like this is super normal and happens to a lot of people and yes absolutely it happened to me.

Penny was in the Nicu for 81 days. I wasn't allowed to touch her or do skin to skin or anything like that for the first 10. Well, at first, I felt nothing but fear and sadness and pain both physical and mental at a certain point it just kind of became a task I had to do I got up. I got dressed and I went to the NICU. I sat at the NICU. I waited, is listened to beeps, it became a blur.

A lot of women talk about feeling love from the first time they feel the baby kick and I can Honest God tell you I never felt that. I never understood that feeling all I felt while I was pregnant was nauseous. Being pregnant was just a foreign concept to me that i dissociated through, if we're being completely honest.

I when through the motions, I did all the things you do to keep a baby alive and be a "good mom" but I was just kinda there. I was either terrified or numb for the first 3 months of Penny's life to be honest.

And then one day she smiled at me. It was her first smile. It was the first time I had seen her smile. It was the first time I saw that she could smile that she could feel anything other than pain and fear that I could feel anything other than pain and fear and numbness again and it was like my whole world was on fire. I could see everything in color again. All I could think was there you are I've been waiting for you!

I actually caught a video of her first smile and my mom still cries when she talks about it, cause she says should could hear me come back to myself in it. She could hear me become a Mama.

And there are still days even today where I am so overstimulated from being asked 500 questions that my brain just goes into auto pilot I just "yes baby, uh huh. Yeah, uh huh" like an uninterested husband in a sitcom. Because we're all human, and that's a human thing to do. Just because you have a child does not mean that you are expected to become a superhuman person and everything about you has to change. You're still you, just MORE! I would do ANYTHING for this child, I'd kill for her, but I'm still me. I still have to walk into the garage and scream sometimes.

Everything you're describing is NORMAL and FINE and HUMAN and don't let movies and TV and social media trick you into thinking it's not.

Kpop Demon Hunters managed to engage my millennial nostalgia for Jem and the Holograms without being derivative and turning is some fucking bops.

So funny how there was so much speculation on silksong development struggles and it turns out there were no struggles, team cherry had actually reached a state of game development nirvana where they were no longer pestered by earthly desires such as releasing the game

If you want to make your backyard a safe haven for lesser dragons, you must keep a close eye on your pets. While it is unlikely that a curious kitten will be able to cause a dragon physical harm, the egos of these small wyrms are as fragile as they are beautiful.

Had a meeting with the safety nerds today and apparently one of them had the following conversation at plumber summer camp

Student: a woman came to our class this morning to talk about some stuff, she said there was a safety VR coming? Nerd: Was it Jen or Lauren? Student: I don't know, she was short? Nerd: Does not narrow it down. Student: She said it included a trench collapse because she's a sadistic bitch? Nerd: Yeah, you met Lauren.

the mortifying ordeal of being known etc etc

Bad brain day

My brother just sent a picture to the family chat of my niece in a safety patrol belt and I just wanna call him and sing about how his daughter is a baby cop do do dodo do do

But I will not do this thing because I am a grownup who does not antagonize her brother

My neighbor framed the hobbit map I embroidered for them and is planning to put it in the nursery for the baby they have coming and I do not have words for how tight my chest feels about this

luvnotes ♡ an AO3 comment notepad

sharing another silly-but-useful thing i made for myself — a handy lil comment notepad for AO3!

hangs out inside your ao3 tab right next to the fic text, always ready to receive your dazzling remarks

saves your draft comments locally in browser storage

minimizes to a small icon when not in use (& shows a lil badge if you started writing a comment for the work you're currently reading)

quickly add blockquotes and text formatting (and preview the html!)

pastes into the comment box when you're ready to roll!

i also added a bonus feature that will hide that obnoxious fundraising banner that won't go away right now 🙊

if you've ever seen the "Floating Comment Box" script, it's a gently beefed up version of that.

you can grab it here; tested on firefox, opera, and chrome (desktop only) — let me know if you try it out in a different browser!

you'll need to have the Tampermonkey or similar extension installed first :3 instructions for doing that in various browsers is here.

** note: if you didn't have Tampermonkey installed, you might need to enable "developer mode" in chrome://extensions and restart your browser before it'll work!

happy commenting~ feel free to drop me a note if something's borked, feature requests etc

As far as I’m concerned, the single most radical change from journal fandom is the idea that fandom is primarily a space for kids.

*shakes cane* in MY day, teen fans pretended to be adults while we walked uphill both ways!
