Not to sound like I’m fishing for notifications, but does anybody know what the actual best time to post something is? I’ve got something I really want for people to see. Complete fic, start to finish one-shot AU of the first season of The Mandalorian if it happened just a bit… differently 👀

Just above my KNEES are you SERIOUS RIGHT NOW

Ok fuck it you know something I've never really quite understood about part of the Leftist vs Liberals debate on voting.

So so so many people act like its either-or. Like you're either dedicating your entire life to voting and promoting politicians and phone banking or whatever, or you're a True Rebel waiting for The Uprising to Come and Solve Everything.

But like. In my experience. Me voting is just me kinda go 'which person seems kinda good? Which one at least sucks the least? ok lemme go vote.' and then its anywhere from 30 minutes to an hour tops of my life. And I still have plenty of time to do Stuff and participate in Conversations about Other Important Things. And also you can admit and acknowledge and understand that the system As Is kinda sorta really sucks ass, but also still admit and acknowledge and understand that at this current point in time we are still living in the suckass system and do something to alleviate the suckass At Least A Little while also working to bolster/create/advocate for Other Systems.

I guess just like. it's not a black or white thing. Between 'top 500 volunteers for a specific politician/voting office/etc' and 'absolutely positively not voting at all' there is a gray area called 'vote and then just do other stuff'.

the thing about "let people like things" and "curate your media consumption" and "don't like don't read" and similar is that all of them really just mean "don't throw yourself in front of people to tell them the stuff they like sucks, and don't act like you're being forced against your will to see things you dislike" but both those phrases are increasingly co-opted by an unfortunately loud minority to mean "if you complain about anything I like, regardless of tone, context, or location, I am allowed to call you slurs, harass you, and otherwise abuse you."

It is also immensely important to understand that most tagging systems on social media and elsewhere use the same tags for both inclusion (ie, finding things you like) and exclusion (ie, hiding that which you don't like) and those two use cases clash:

Inclusion typically means people are looking for highly relevant material to whatever they're looking for and might be annoyed when it's something tangential, ie, if I'm looking for fic about a character it sucks to get results in which they appear for one unimportant line.

Exclusion might mean someone wants absolutely no mention of a character, and therefore not tagging that same fic will irritate that group.

There is no fool-proof curation method, and frustration is inevitable, even there were universally agreed upon conventions (there are not) and even if everyone were to follow common courtesy (they don't).

tl;dr any principle in fandom that essentially boils down to "live and let live" doesn't mean "you must be positive about everything all the time" and it definitely doesn't mean "you must be held hostage to the viewpoint of whoever is most shameless about harassing others under the guise of scolding." It means that you shouldn't walk into the bar on publicly announced trivia night and yell "HEY STOP DOING TRIVIA, YOU SUCK", but you're allowed to look annoyed and not participate.

Under The Banner Of Heaven is a well-written book juxtaposing the murder of a woman and her child by Mormon extremists with the founding of the Mormon faith, but in both halves it is depressingly and enragingly exactly the story you'd expect: a theology focused on the subjugation, rape, and abuse of women and girls, to the point it is nakedly obvious that the theology simply arose from the desires of men in power

Is it bad that I don’t want to give birth? Like, I told some of my friends and family that I don’t want to give birth and they told me that I’d change my mind and I told them I wouldn’t and they get mad at me. I told them that I’d adopt kids instead to give them a home and living family but they say that doesn’t matter and count because they won’t be biological.

That's not bad at all!! I know a lot of people that feel the same way. Hell, I feel the same way. I don't want to give birth and I'm very against having children. I've known that pretty much my whole life since I was old enough to conceptualize children and parenthood (very young as a woman growing up in America), and I was always told I'd change my mind someday.

Well, it's been about 20 years and I haven't changed my mind at all. There's absolutely nothing wrong with it. The constant societal pressure that every generation has gone through of "you have to have children otherwise your life is meaningless" has very much been challenged as of late with plenty of people realizing your life doesn't end as soon as you're old enough to have children. A lot of those people pushing that narrative shouldn't have had kids in the first place. The world would probably be a lot better off if people that didn't want kids but were pressured into it by society just hadn't given into that pressure.

There's plenty of neglected, abandoned children, and children in foster care that deserve love and support. So yeah, if you don't want to give birth, then there's nothing to feel bad about. You've made that decision and anyone that tries to tell you otherwise is only recycling the same societal pressures that probably made them have children they didn't want.

And if anyone says adopted or fostered children don't count, then kindly say fuck them and don't speak to them again. Same with people that say IVF or children born of surrogates. Just because you didn't give birth to your child no matter the reason, that doesn't make them "not your child." Hell I know there's people out there that say C-sections aren't "giving birth" because it wasn't natural.

Yeah, fuck those people and do what you want. It's your body, it's your life and they can either get over it or get out of your life 🤷

i can't think about drawing right now I HAVE THINGS TO DO!!!

[not-poignant]

You know… the new chapter from Underline the Black was super good and I thought it actually was really fun chapter. And it was written so well and I wanted to keep reading but I keep reading as soon as it updates 💀 I lack the patience to wait and enjoy a bunch of chapters. But like when Efnisien (I think it was his heat) had to basically suck on Gary’s fingers and his spit too? I have to reread to make sure but I think Gary really enjoyed it so this makes sense? Like it was surprising but also like an ah this adds up moment

Oh yeah Gary really enjoyed it back then too, there's a moment where he's kind of straddling Efnisien, sucking on his fingers at length, and staring down at Efnisien and it's like welp.

Welp.

It was around that time I realised what kind of things he was into and was like 'ahhhh goddamn it.' Because I know that more than sounding, more than needles, more than a lot of extreme kinks, spitting is so visceral that it can be extremely visceral and divisive.

Unfortunately Gary will do what he does, so I'll just consider it something for all the folks who enjoy it and like... send little apology hampers to everyone who was like 'OH NO' lmao

Being involved in anything V2 related makes the "hey girl i mean they" meme hover behind me like a malevolent spirit.

im baaaack

haven’t been active here in years but I’ve recently been reading some fic again so i fear im making my comeback. hello old friends and welcome new friends

don't expect anyone to read this, ive been so inactive this page is pretty much nonexistent, but this is just a little explanation/about me for anyone who comes looking

you can call me m, im 25, she/her, and a pretty avid reader with organizatonal obsessions that lead me to catalogue everything in my life to a ridiculous point, hence the weird tags at the end of my rambling ones. ridiculous, but very helpful when trying to find something specific so feel free to use me as a search engine too.

anyway, around november-ish i fell back into a criminal minds hole, particularly spencer and then hotch--but because I was so inactive, I hadn’t been reblogging, just liking to save and read later, then reading when I had the scarcest of free time and forgetting about it after. 

then I watched top gun: maverick june 1st and was literally searching for a gif and accidentally read a 20k+ bob fic (I swear I was just gonna skim) and now I'm down that much much deeper hole

point is, I’ve stumbled upon some serious gems and I’m nothing if not supportive of fic writers so i am ashamed of my silent private reading these past months. so, dear writers whom i’m blowing up the notifications of, it’s nice to meet you. you’ll be sick of me very quickly.

(to avoid over-blowing notifs, i've limited my queue to 2 a day so hopefully that'll help)

also pinning this post to give context for my unhinged behavior but that means unpinning my old one so if you’re interested:

here’s my incredibly outdated obx rec list 

& here’s my extra outdated jily rec list 

& last but not least, super outdated bellarke rec list!

(still rec these and their authors! just outdated in the sense that I haven’t add to them in years)
