Need to rant.
I spent an hour and a half working on The Subtle Art of Not Giving a Fuck. I only got 50 pages in. The reading is easy, but I’m annotating a LOT so it’s going super slow.
But I’m annotating a lot to remind myself of all the bullshit, so I can properly roast it. There are some good ideas and points in there but omg he sounds like an insufferable asshole writing a book for himself, ignoring that other people can have totally valid ways of being. Fatphobic undertones, implying there are definitely good values and like, limited ways to correctly prioritize them. I’m now 45% through. I am hate-reading at this point, and I’m torn between:
do I just want to finish it off quickly from here on out? (he has started going into specific things that are negative that he thinks everybody should value highly, versus talking more about his general philosophy)
Or do I want to keep going through slowly making notes ripping him apart.
On one hand: I’m definitely enraged and I kinda want it to end because it’s so irritatingly wrong. On the other hand: i want to give it such a scathing review because of its wrongness that I want to have everything wrong with it detailed meticulously because I enjoy that level of thoroughness.
I’m hoping there will be less to annotate tbh.

controversial take but I'm starting to REALLY HATE the way the pink-is-for-girls and blue-is-for-boys lesbian and gay flags are starting to be mainstreamed and recognized as The FlagsTM by websites and corporations
like I could not come up with a more on point on the nose symbol for the anti-queer anti-freak sanitized capitalist assimilationist lgb movement if I tried.
It is the exact opposite of everything I stand for.
Like I could care less if you enjoy those flags for yourself but the minute I see them in any kind of pride lineup supposedly standing for the whole of those segments of the community I feel sick to my stomach.

I bring Tango horse headcanons bc i'm sane.
I have my own ideas about Adequate's & Cogsworth's coats etc, but I haven't thoughts about their breeds much,,, though i'd imagine Adequate is probably some sort of sport horse- fast, agile, relatively tall but sort of an all-rounder.
Meanwhile Cogsworth gives me more of a draft horse vibe,, a little more stocky, he's got the spirit and is quite a strong little companion :3

thinking abt how in my first run of the transformers fandom someone tried to say i was "excusing animal abuse" for saying that horses and other large animals are high maintenance... their source? their parents bought them horse riding lessons. they didn't even own the horses or live on the property. they had other people caring for their animals for them. large animals require a lotta maintenance idk what's so hard to get and idk how they mutated "it takes a lot to take care of a large animal and not everyone could/should do it" into "i believe abusing horses is OK." then again this was in like 2020-21 and just randomly crossed my mind just now but it's such a wild thing to have happened.

Malleus Draconia - With Cyno Male Reader
🐇.•°•.🐇.•°•.🐇.•°•.🐇.•°•.🐇.•°•.🐇.•°•.🐇.•°•.🐇.
I chose to do only Malleus since I didn't want to spend three hours typing again. I made this into a split between Headcannons and a oneshot since I couldn't decide which one I wanted to do. There was also not alot to go off of to make the headcannons, so I just added more of my own context to it. I hope this is adequate to what you asked for, I did my best! —Benny🐰
🌙•♡•🌙•♡•🌙•♡•🌙•♡•🌙•♡•🌙•♡•🌙•♡•🌙
🐲 When he first met you, Malleus immediately noticed your off-putting and downright ominous aura. He wasn't affected, of course, but he did notice that almost everyone else was. He sympathized with you, as he causes the same reaction in people that you do. That fact that you understand his everyday struggle certainly made it easy for the two of you, and by extension Lilia, to become close.
🐲 Malleus also noticed how you didn't really seem to be too affected by the fact that the majority of the student body feared you. In fact, you told him that you completely understood that you were scary and that you needed to be due to your role as the Mahamatra. Your status and experience as a warrior have given you a fearsome aura and you use that aura to instill order in your subordinates when the time comes. ...Malleus still has yet to ask you what a Mahamatra is exactly.
🐲 He had once asked you why you carry a staff, which you later explained to be a polearm from your country of origin, Sumeru. Seeing you wield your spear with such ferocity and accuracy was quite an enlightening experience for Malleus. He was really only ever used to seeing Lilia, Silver, and Sebek train with their swords and their magic. Secretly he wanted to ask if you would teach him how to use a polearm, but he doesn't know how to approach the question.
🐲 Something that Malleus didn't expect, however, was the 'dad jokes' as you and Lilia had called them. His father figure and you really seemed to bond over that, actually. You used it to ease the fears and tensions that derived from your overall appearance and demeanor. The dragon fae wondered why he never thought of doing that himself but.... well.....
——————————
"Hey. You four."
The magicless student from another world towered ominously above a group of students who had been whispering about his fearsome appearance; a shadow cast over his eyes as he spoke lowly.
The previously gossiping students trembled in fear as he stood before them, unable to muster up any words or thoughts. Across the cafeteria sat a certain dragon fae; his keen ears picking up on their conversation. His shoulders slumped when he heard them speaking to him as though he were some sort of monster; yet he couldn't ever bring himself to try and make friends with those people as he was sure that they would run away. Malleus shakes his head to break from his thoughts as he tuned back in.
"—ou call a well balanced horse.....?"
The intimidating foreign boy asks the students in a cold tone and waits a few moments in silence,
"Stable....... pfffft— Hehehehehehehe, get it, 'Stable'? 'Cause horses live in stables?"
Everyone in the cafeteria who had heard his joke collectively sweat dropped, including Malleus. The poor fae prince was equally appalled and amazed; his eyes couldn't help but wander to the bat fae seated to his right. That joke...... was awful; he almost felt his entire body scrunch in on itself as he cringed; trying to hide it with a blank face.
"A good idea... I suppose... but such poor execution."
Malleus muttered quietly to himself, a cartoonish sweat drop falling down his temple at a comically slow pace.
The previously scared group of students only stared at the magicless boy in confusion and disbelief; not knowing what to do. Where did that come from? [Name], receiving no response, only cleared his throat before reaching into his back pocket and taking out a small notebook. He flips a few pages before stopping on one and giving a firm nod.
"Ahem— What's red and bad for your teeth?.... A brick. Hehehe, get it?"
The magicless male chuckled with a boyish grin as he cracked yet another very bad joke.
Malleus only stared at the boy, a slightly strained smile on his face, stuck between whether to view him with respect for dissipating the fear that he conjured by his mere presence or with disappointment at the awful jokes that he surmised you got from his father figure.
