"In the nineties, science fiction TV used ALLEGORY" is a dog whistle for "TV was better before there were gay characters", thank you and good night.

the two reasons i, as a native speaker, have mispronounced a word in english:
word is french in origin but i have foolishly treated it as an 'english' word and applied the usually-right-if-you're-lucky spelling rules.
the word is french in origin but it's thousand year old norman french and my 'wait, this one must be french' guess led to me not applying the usual rules and trying to make half the letters silent* when in fact it's been pronounced 'englishly' for several centuries by this point.
*i don't speak french but as far as i can tell neither do the french or at least they do not do so audibly.
#or 3: 'i did not mispronounce it but someone with a more prestige accent is going to insist i did while very amused by my 'mistake'' :(#WELL I'M SORRY FOR SAYING THE WORD 'BIRD' LIKE THERE'S A FUCKING 'R' IN IT YOU SOUTHERN TWAT >:(#just you wait till we're both in a spanish class together!!! then we'll see who r(rrr)egr(rrr)ets their dialect choices!!!#(yes i know we didn't get to choose them that's kind of my point but isn't pissing on the poor fun? and the poor LOVE it!)

i'm very suspicious of the "BAMF [character]" AO3 tags and i don't want to be but there's a lot of fics that use them that turn into 'what if MY FAVE was allowed to just kick the shit out of everyone i think was mean to them?' which i'm sure is a great genre of fiction if that's what you're into but i seem to be not that into it :(

You know, it all makes sense now! Why you favoured Thor all these years!
#not to be That Bitch and i love this part but from the tags on the reblogs... did everyone forget that actually happened later on?#that we did in fact see a frost giant on the throne of asgard. there appears to have been no attempt by odin (or frigga) to prevent that.#so erm... does this not place the rest of that little speech in doubt too?#i think this is absolutely what loki in that moment BELIEVES i just also think he's wrong about at least some of it.#and we know this part ISN'T true! we literally see it happen a few scenes later! and yet!

I am seeing fics where masturbation is being tagged as "self cest" and I cannot tell if it's a joke or if they genuinely think that's what the tag means...

I call this gif: I don’t understand why Thorki shippers bother making photomanips when it is C L E A R L Y unnecessary.

posting niche fic on ao3 is like releasing a small creature into the wild and hoping it survives and finds sustenance

Fun Story to Share.
I got my (now 18-year-old) daughter into Ao3 back in 2021. I taught her she should always comment - even if the fic looks old or abandoned or whatever. She did.
Well - she got this email this morning:
The fic was written in 2014 and essentially abandoned.
Bethy read and reviewed in 2021 (and was actually the only person who had commented at all).
Today in 2025 - the final chapter was posted by the author and this was her reply to Bethy’s comment.
———
Never question whether a fic is too old to comment on.

I wonder if Thor’s Allspeak extends to animals
#he's probably just fucking with them all... but what if he isnt. what if the bees have a point. what if the dog has needs.#turns out it's a weird brodinsons thing because when they were 12 loki told thor that everyone else can speak to animals#and now they both have to pretend they speak animal languages because they cannot back down on this nonsense.#nobody on earth knows if it's true or not. it might be right? why would thor NOT be able to talk to bees? he's an alien.#mcu tag

Updated this fic. It is very hard to not just post fic that is already written, isn't it? How do the 'weekly schedule' posters manage it?
