#ALSO RESPONDING TO YOU DOWN HERE.

[ghostlightfic]

(for bonnie) what are your master chef-cooker opinions on the shrimp that fries the rice

(for you) hiii I’m actually so nervous doing this even though I’m going to do anon, but you’re really cool! I’m in the server (I have spoken like twice) and you seem like a really chill person to be around. I literally have like full-on-flappy-hands stimming whenever you respond to one of my comments even though you do that with everyone’s (which is SUPER cool by the way). ghostlight has had a chokehold on my brain ever since I stumbled onto this blog and there is so much dopamine stored in these idiots /pos SO SORRY ABOUT THE TEXT WALL DJDHKDHSKSHSKSVS

[Bonnie squints.]

Bonnie: Shrimp can't do that. They don't have hands!

Loop: No, they can. They did it all the time back on the Island.

[Bonnie stares at them incredulously. They start to consider it.]

Bonnie: ...Really?

Loop: No.

[Bonnie punches Loop in the side, and they cackle maniacally.]

the way the island throws off your familiar's behavior because it wants you to kill them. you need magic, don't you? your familiar exists to help you, and look at it, it can't do anything right now. it's just an animal, really. it doesn't look or act the way it used to. maybe you loved them before, but they don't even respond to you now, and times have changed. and you need magic, don't you?

I don’t know how to explain any more clearly that it doesn’t MATTER if it seems legitimate to you. You have got to fact check every single headline and post and claim on the left just like you need to do on the right.

The left is NOT immune to misinformation and rushed reporting. And the more emotionally polarizing or shocking the talking points, sound bytes, and headlines are, the worse it is and more frequently it happens.

Learn to verify through multiple independent sources. If you can’t do that, you can’t trust it.

If you have to wait extra hours for the real information to come through vetted channels—NOT just one individual somewhere everyone links to, and not just one single media source either, EVEN if it’s a major news network—thats just how it has to be. What news outside of genuine local disasters near you TRULY needs your outrage and post-sharing in the next hour specifically?

Misinformation works best by not seeming like misinformation and by fitting in with the rest of what you already expect to see. It doesn’t help anyone to not be able to recognize and avoid the stuff.

can i say something. about the way you people talk about dungeon meshi. i find it extremely... interesting how headcanons about laios being nonbinary are framed exclusively as a way to shoot down other people's headcanons about laios being transfem. like you are aware when you have a hc that a character is nonbinary you can just... say it... and you don't need to preface it with "well i don't think they're transfem BUT".

and also i think its interesting that i never actually uhm. see anyone discussing their nonbinary laios hc in literally any detail. obviously i can't read anyones mind but it comes across to an audience like you saw someone hc laios as a trans woman, got irrationally irritated about it, found a 'progressive' and 'trans friendly' way to shoot it down, and then proceeded to continue treating him like a cis man in every post, meta, fic, etc, only ever bringing up the fact that you think laios is nb when someone else thinks laios is a woman. almost like you don't actually think that at all, and keep the idea around exclusively because transfem hcs make you uncomfortable for reasons you refuse to interrogate.

i don't think this is necessarily intentional on anyone's part, but i do think considering the discussions we have been having about transmisogyny on this website its not unreasonable to ask (especially of fellow tme trans people) that you have a long hard look at the way you respond to things like transfem hcs. while obviously fandom is #notthatdeep, it does not bode well for your ability to make room for your trans sisters for things that actually matter if you can't even do it regarding gender headcanons for anime characters

The biggest problem with listening to a british podcast as an american is that you end up saying british-isms for a week afterwards. The second biggest issue is having to stop in the middle of a car scene and mirror your mental image because you forgor

clown jumpscare on the dash. the clown is me. i had this whole essay written out but i decided not to post that bc i am allergic to being perceived and to ever share what's going on with me. sorry chat if i were a character in a show or book i'd be the one the fans would psycho-analyze and decide that 'he'd rather have his nails pulled out one by one than share his feelings tf???' does that mean i'd be the dreaded fan fav?? having the most outrageous takes written about me??? i am joking. but also i am not. as in i am not joking about not wanting to share beyond the bare minimum on the dash right now. gotta keep up my clown face after all JHSABJKDDF anyway!! let me be srs for just a second: the one thing i will share is that i feel so burnt out. and that in turn makes me feel so icky when i log in here. i don't know what it is but i've been on a sort of semi-hiatus for 4 months alrdy and nothing really changed. i want to write here but i also don't want to. it's sickening honestly. i am going to put this blog on an official hiatus rn when it comes to ic writing until i know what to do. you're free to unfollow bc i really don't know when i'll be writing here and i hate saying that i will and then end up not doing anything. save for maybe writing some meta posts once in a blue moon, i don't think i'll be doing much. and even that i can't promise at this point. all this to say that i'll continue to be very scarce for a while. or i'll just remake. it's all up in the air for now. we'll see what future me decides.

some tragic love stories be like: if i could bottle the galaxy, i would pour it into a cup so it would be easier for you to drink. do you want them? do you want the stars? or do they suit you better as adornments for your eyes than glitter on your lips?

but they don’t want the stars. they don’t want the galaxy. but how can they not? is that not enough? (it’s too much, that’s the problem. it’s too much.)

[bittersweetresilience]

it feels cosmically unfair that i think about writing all the time want to write all the time and sit down to write all the time and i come up with two sentences at best. there should be some reward system i think

Thinking about how "self defence" is considered okay until a country the west is not allied with does it.

[eschynite]

Maybe I'm projecting and being hopeful but I mentioned to M that I don't even get to shit by myself in peace lmao and I feel like something clicked for him. Bc I was like hey, at least you get private bathroom breaks at work (noncombative). And since then he's been a lot more acquiescent when I ask if I can nap and stuff

[fishparasite]

genuinely sorry about all the dndposting recently it hasn't even been interesting but i'm so desperate to dm. i've got storytelling skills!!! i've got improv skills!!! i want to build a story around characters!!! i want to see what players do with what i give them!!!

gaiman used his platform and money to push male-centric laws while raping lesbians. pretending his crimes aren't connected to his male-centric political stance is misogyny. but then again you're openly rightwing (pronouns in bio = rightwing, as it is impossible to be leftwing and believe in the existence of any form of gender) so i'm not surprised you're pretending hating women is a neutral stance.

you know i saw the first sentence of this and was going to try and formulate an actual response to explain what i meant but god the second half of this is hilarious, never mind

thanks for dropping by, blatant terf logic, i've got some new phrases to mock with my friends

[blujayonthewing]

21, 25, 29, 43 and 51, for the boy! (Felix!)

21. What common etiquette do they disagree with? Do they still follow it?

Oh definitely expectations around eye contact with verbal language. Signing he doesn't mind-- it's an intrinsic part of speaking and comprehending the language, and knowing the other person is doing it specifically to listen(so to speak) and understand makes the eye contact comfortable and fine for him, but with spoken word it always feels piercing and invasive and he hates it. He does his best out here but most of the time there's no benefit to forcing himself to try that isn't outweighed by how uncomfortable it makes him.

25. What subject / topic do they know a lot about that’s completely useless to the direct plot?

Oh lots of things, he loves collecting information! Of particular interest to him, he knows a lot of animal facts-- behavior, communication style and social behavior, life cycle, ecology, relationships with people where applicable, etc etc. He also knows, just, absolutely everything about everyone in his hometown, or at least everything there was to know at the time before he took off roving

29. How do they respond when someone doesn’t believe them?

Ah-- with visible stress and upset, but also pretty much immediate resignation. He'll continue to maintain his own honesty, but he doesn't fight it very strongly (often not at all); he's accustomed to not being believed, for reasons he's never been able to pinpoint, and has mostly given up trying to figure out how to be more convincing if 'literally telling the truth' isn't enough

43. What do they commonly misinterpret because of their own upbringing / environment / biases? How do they respond when realizing the misunderstanding?

Honestly a lot less nowadays after spending so much time traveling, eavesdropping, and people-watching a lot of different people from different walks of life, but his hometown is small and isolated enough that it was a lot of things to begin with, from idioms to social mores and so on. He's very apologetic if he's the one who's made some sort of misstep, and really just relieved when it's something he'd at first taken as rudeness or aggression directed at him but that turned out to be a misunderstanding.

51. What’s a phrase they say a lot?

"Oh-- that's interesting...!"

Ask about my OCs! :3
