#I love that story

Why is it that a lot of gothic writing is either closeted gay dudes making shitty decisions or just straight up horrendous acts of violence?

Oh my god Clem is having that baby!

You might have moved on with your lives but I'm still stuck in thoughts of that Jaydick fic with the beautiful Midwest vibes and sexy stylish daddy father Todd on horseback coming in town to purify it of evil only to end up killing the most beautiful creature (Dick) in it, because there's nothing to be done asid from that...

.

.

Dick's spirit must follow him around wherever he goes, whispering to him, keeping him company all the time.

Even visiting Jason's dreams late at freezing nights to help the young father unwind and warm him up a little bit.

Thinking about Dick doing him a 69 and so Father ends up waking absolutely drenched from up and down ;0 with not so holy thoughts in his mind.

Honestly I think my only hot take is there's never too many beauty and the beast retellings. This is a hill I will die on.

I understand that tall men are our POV characters, but surely being like a foot taller than everyone around them would have some occasional consequences

I could think of no better way to share the news than this!

So when I was 17, my cat went missing and I'd given up hope of ever seeing him again.

Until on Monday, 27th of May, 2024, my friend sent me a FB post asking 'isn't that your mother?' about the person named on the microchip.

Here he is! 16 years old, and found safe, twelve whole years after he went missing!

Yesterday (Tuesday the 28th of May, 2024) I went to the rescue that had him, and I reclaimed my boy, renaming him Artie! (He'd originally been called 'Cat' because my mother and I couldn't decide on a name)

He's home safe with me now, currently inhabiting my bathroom and purring up a storm every time someone goes in there!

I'll be doing slow introductions between him and my current cat to give them the best possible chance of living in harmony!

Here's some pictures of Artie once we let him out of the carrier:

Apparently the local university’s undergraduate entomology course sends students to catch insect specimens at the same place I like to go birdwatching, which explains why I saw three enormous frat looking dudes with tiny bug nets and overheard one emphatically say “bro BRO I told you we already have enough lepidopterans”

as a child there's nothing cooler than a kid who gets subjected to evil experiments and gains special abilities. it's even cooler if these abilities also cause unfathomable suffering to use/against others. children love stories like this.

"Who Is Superman? A Private Interview with Lois Lane" a fancomic about hope and connection. I've had this story in mind for so long and I'm very excited to be able to share it at last. Thank you for reading, and happy Lunar New Year!

I love nautical and seaside town horror stories. Tell me more about the fog and water that eats people

[creekfiend]

what's my biggest pet peeve well it's when someone makes a text post on tumblr dot com in which they are trying to romanticize the notion of the livestock guardian dog but they don't know the distinction between a livestock guardian dog and a herding dog and also they've never met a livestock guardian dog and do not realize what their attitudes towards the sheep that they protect actually are

yeehaw, baby!

This is why writers abandon stories. It’s not that we don’t love them, it’s because we don’t want to love them alone.

I'm getting so sick of major female characters in historical media being incredibly feisty, outspoken and public defenders of women's rights with little to no realistic repercussions. Yes it feels like pandering, yes it's unrealistic and takes me out of the story, yes the dialogue almost always rings false - but beyond all that I think it does such a disservice to the women who lived during those periods. I'm not embarrassed of the women in history who didn't use every chance they had to Stick It To The Man. I'm not ashamed of women who were resigned to or enjoyed their lot in life. They weren't letting the side down by not having and representing modern gender ideals. It says a lot about how you view average ordinary women if the idea of one of your main characters behaving like one makes them seem lame and uninteresting to you.
