I think a lot of body horror is pregnancy/motherhood horror for men, though. I mean, Alien is the big example, but anything that involves having something growing inside you, no longer being alone in your body, having your body used for something else’s purposes, no longer being in control of how your body grows, or what it excretes. It’s all the pregnancy experience, it’s just that men don’t see it as horror unless it’s happening to other (humans) men.

Just thought to myself "can't women have a bad time in fiction without rape being involved" which really shows you how much you're in the fucking trenches if you are both a horror fan and women fan

We didn’t get even one trick-or-treater tonight, so the starchild and I mostly played Dragon Age: The Veilguard this evening. Here’s my extremely buff elven warrior lady

My dream for the election is that it’s definitive. I want a 2012-style Election Day where everyone built it up beforehand to possibly be close but then the results start rolling in and it was like “Oh, nevermind. It’s obviously Obama. Everyone go to bed.”

I just want voters to put a stake right through the heart of Trumpism so that it crumbles to ash before our eyes. That’s the dream.

When Animals Dream (2014) is the only other one I can think of. You Won’t Be Alone (2022) is a shapeshifter movie that might also work, and The Lure (2015) is about sirens, but it has very Ginger Snaps vibes.

Guys for the love of god does anyone have recommendation of movies about female werewolves (besides Ginger Snaps)???

And I mean ABOUT female werewolves, not just feature them; they don't have to be the protagonists (tho it would be ideal) but gotta be very proeminent characters (like being the protagonist's love interest doesn't count unless she has development)

I'm going insane with the lists i found on google like please them as side characters doesn't count!!!

I answered land herbivore, because I have seen moose in the wild, but then I remembered that I’ve been on whale watches, and whales are much bigger than moose. Then I had to look up which of the whales I’ve seen was the biggest (either a right whale or a finback whale, depending, I guess, on the individuals, since I’ve only seen one of the first and maybe two of the second?), and then I had to look up different types of tons, because it turns out there are three (short tons, which are 2,000 lbs., long tons, which are 2,240 lbs., and tonnes, or metric tons, which are 1,000 kg or 2,204.6 lbs.) and Wikipedia articles on whales are not standardized on weight.

I’m unreasonably excited about this

Slight spoiler for iwtv, but do you think Lestat’s “Siri, pause” was a direct reference to this, or just a very happy coincidence

I put Nancy Drew, which is, I think, technically true, but The Westing Game was absolutely the most influential mystery I read as a child.

Time for a new poll! I'm curious to see the spread of answers on this one (and hear any other series not on the list.) Tried to go for a range of older and newer series on here, more on the older end of the spectrum, but I can't cover everything with the limited poll options here, so I hope you'll share your answers! :)

Please reblog for a larger sample size, thank you!

It's gonna be such a funny mess when Donald Trump dies of a stroke on April 1st, 2024.

Naturally everybody will think it's fake because of the date only to lose their minds (both positively and negatively based on their opinion of trump) when realizing it's real

There will be massive celebrations in the streets and on social media and lots of predictable "don't speak ill of the dead" discourse about those celebrations

Weird evangelicals will pull some weird number trick talking about how Jesus was conceived on April 1st and that makes Trump a sort of messiah and people will make fun of that

The Republicans (after they're done with the faux-sadness and faux-outrage) will stomp over each other to be his successor but none of them will succeed. They'll tear each other apart and have no single nominee for the November elections.

There will be discourse about if Biden and the living former presidents should go to his funeral (they won't, he was a traitor insurrectionist)

The Ukraine-Russia War immediately goes in favor of Ukraine as morale in the Kremlin is reduced. China similarly backs off from its threats on Taiwan.

Ten thousand new memes are made, some sticking around for years to come.

Not a month later a bunch of unofficial biographies of Trump hit the bookshelves, many with new details about just how awful he was.

Hm, so, novels don’t usually have content warnings, but if I read a book with a surprise rape scene, I might be annoyed about it. And, actually, I’m speaking from experience, because I was a kid/teen in the eighties and nineties who read a lot of fantasy novels, and there was a fair amount of unexpected sexual assault in fantasy books at that time. Some of it was women writers processing their own experiences, some of it was gratuitous bullshit, and some of it was just probably something the author thought was sexy. Sometimes it felt justified to the story, and sometimes it really didn’t. And maybe you threw the book across the room, or maybe you kept reading but complained about it to your friends. I guess if you were really pissed about it you wrote a letter to the author, but that’s not something I ever bothered with.

I don’t really think any of the authors were necessarily assholes, but neither do I think that any of the readers who stopped reading or complained about any of those books were in the wrong either. Basically, you have the right to write whatever you want, and readers have the right to engage with a work however they want, and that’s the whole point of publishing your writing rather than keeping it private.

AITA For Not Tagging a Work?

I, 32F, write primarily for my own enjoyment, my main platform being AO3. I currently have a multi-chaoter series that includes several major plot twists, including one that includes non-con. To avoid spoiling it, because I believe my stories deserve to be read with as little background info as possible, I only tag it as "Creator CHOSE not to Include Archive Warnings". Which is, as I hope is obvious, is not synonymous with "There Are No Warnings". The point is, I don't use the Rape/Non-con tag. Recently, I got a very upset reader in my comments complaining about how triggering that chapter of my work is, and that's where I have a problem. I believe the corporate obsession content warnings pervading even fanworks to be a major problem. I don't want to sanitize my work, but I do get that they contain pretty heavy themes. But I feel like I seriously do give my stories a disservice by adding labels on them, and maybe I am the asshole for this, but I value my pride and joy (my work) over strangers online. AITA?

What are these acronyms?
