#I'm such a fucking boomer

[werewolf-himbo]

I pop into here every so often to be like "I EXIST" them I fade away again into the darkness.

I look like a dad more and more though now that I'm 37.

Slutty himbo dad I guess

My Favorite Line In The Show

that line with that expression with that hand angle? oh you just know they did it

[anqelbean]

Every now and again, YouTube recommends me a booktube book review for a “controversial” book and every time I decide to watch it I realize these people’s minds would be blown by SVSSS and 2HA. Their heads would just explode. They’d die after the first 5 chapters. Their little brains wouldn’t be able to comprehend them, they’d just shut down and self destruct.

i hate how perfect characters in movies look nowdays aragorn looks like he hasn't showered in... ever and i want him SO FUCKING BAD,, his hair is greasy his face is all dirty he's sweating buckets his clothes are soaked from who knows what even his hands were all bloody and muddy and it just gives so much more to the character like i fucking love it please bring this back make your characters filthy again please

If there WAS a show made i imagine several things would be changed (some for the better some for the worse)

I can see CyFy getting a lot of alterations to make him more, uh, *digestable* for lack of a better term. because he's very loud and proud about his blackness in a unique way I've never seen before, and while I love that for him and he's one of my favorite characters, networks who don't wanna get cancelled would likely pull back on his reins so to speak. Tone him down a little or take his pride in a different direction. his DID element msy also get tweaked depending on what kind of sensitivity writers they get on board and depending on how that is handled i could vibe with it. Like I said I enjoy him a lot as-is but I can understand why others may find him offensive in some ways

I also can see the characters being made older (namely Lev who would be a challnge to get a good actor for thats actually 13) which is a change that wouldn't bother me too badly. As long as it was still clearly teens and not adults lmao

some characters may also just get cut altogether for simplicity's sake, or merged to be one character. depending on who that ends up being i can get behind the idea but it's a double edged sword

Some of the lore/tech stuff would DEFINITELY be changed because in 2024 it just doesn't make sense- the iChip Miracolina uses is a prime example haha, or the countinued existence of YouTube which is hilarious to think about that far in the future. And perhaps the wireless electricity which I think is mentioned offhandedly exactly one time ("back when electricity used to be transfered through wires")

And if diversity is ever a prime concern and keeping the characters book accurate is not, they may make some of the characters other races to sort of even out the cast, because it's very Caucasian leaning for the lead roles. Lev would likely be untouched since his blond hair and blue eyed appearance absolutely play into his character thematically but a lot of others could be racially swapped I think without much issue

Anyway. I don't really have a point with this post I'm just rambling do not take me seriously lmao

Sorry if this might be a rude question but why don’t you just make a seperate account for your nsfw fics?

not rude, it's a valid question! tbh it's a combination of a couple reasons.

i started posting anonymous dead dove batcest fics long before i had the balls to make a tumblr. at first i was content to just leave them unassociated with each other because i didn't really care about them being tied to me. i made this blog to actually show solidarity to my partner who wanted to make a sideblog for Sandman comic stuff so we could cheerlead each other and be brave together, since i've wanted to make a batcest sideblog but i've been nervous about actually having to get it going. (mal ik you're reading this go be brave and actually make your blog so i can cheerlead you damnit-) only did it dawn on me then that i should probably mention the fics i've written on the blog after like, three of them were posted anonymously. and it would've annoyed me to have half of them anonymous and half of them not, because notifications for them would've gone in different places. i could go back and take my fics off anon if i wanted to, but i can't switch the account they're on without taking them down entirely and that'd fuck over people who have them bookmarked already.

which, ties into my second reason, if i made an entire second ao3 account it'd be harder for me to see notifications, reply to stuff, and post things for both accounts because i'd have to constantly switch. and honestly i'd be terrified of accidentally posting on the wrong one on a brain fog day. posting fics is always the most tedious part of writing them for me lol. it's easier for me to stay logged into one account and have all of my stuff in one place for me and just use the anonymous collection when i feel like it. if ao3 pseuds worked like tumblr blogs, where you can't see all my side blogs but i can, i would've used pseuds, but since you can see all pseuds on an ao3, i felt it was a moot point.

and the last reason is i just feel more comfortable being anonymous on ao3 because of the rise in anti culture. on tumblr it's very easy for me to just filter that out and find the people i want to follow and block the people i don't. i don't mind getting hate, on tumblr or on ao3. but i think, for whatever reason you want to blame it on, there's been a massive boom of antis on ao3 who are very entitled about how they read on ao3. i tag extensively, but i just feel safer from getting targeted attacks if everything i write on ao3 isn't attached to one profile. if people like a fic i wrote, want to find more i always link my tumblr in the notes, but if an anti wants to get huffy with me, they can't easily track down my other things. they definitely could if they wanted to, but being anonymous on ao3 just makes me feel more secluded, in a weird way. it's like saying "if you want you can come find me but on here i'm just a weird faceless guy throwing stuff in the void". i've used ao3's anon feature a lot, actually, i used to be a hydra trash party dumpster kid back when that was in it's prime.

i also used to be vaguely popular on a different tumblr blog and my main ao3 and while i think it'd definitely be cool if i got a decent chunk of followers on this blog too, i don't really miss having fanfiction do so well i got targetted hate on all of my fics from the same people, i had my fics stolen, etc. it was really exhausting for me. i have 120+ works on ao3, not counting what's anonymous, and that level of exposure tires me, even when i use my main ao3 to post things that aren't trashy. it's just a weird feeling knowing so many people are subscribed to you on ao3 and what if you post something they won't like because you jumped fandoms again, or you're posting something niche, or you don't think it fills enough fandom tropes to be well-liked. i used to obsessively think like that, and it made me not write the things i wanted to because i cared about numbers. and i don't want to slide back into that hole. writing on anonymous is mostly to remind myself i wrote this for me, and if other people like it, they can come find me, but i don't have to perform like that anymore. if i get a really weird fucked up idea, i can write the really weird fucked up idea. at the end of the day, just makes me more comfortable! but i get it's a super confusing set up from an outsider perspective so, i really don't mind the question, thank you for asking!!

how I feel every minute of every day

You know, I think I've realised that the biggest evidence is that AI is a fad (because of course it is), is the advertising of it, or more specifically the way it's being advertised.

Now, whilst I accept and recognise AI has some practical real world uses (mainly for stuff like data and information management and/or processesing metadata), the fact of the matter is that everyone who seems to be promoting it (particularly Google but Microsoft and some other tech companies) seem to seem to be banking on its mere existence as a selling point. They're not actually showing how it can be used, or how it fulfills a need, they just seem to be selling it as: "This is a thing!", And "You should buy our product because it has thing!" Without any actual effort to explain why it's a selling point.

It's a similar thing with generative AI like ChatGPT. The only time I've seen or heard of anyone mention generative AI, it's been in a negative context (like how it's incredibly wasteful, stupid, meaningless and or racist) to the point where I actually only know it's a thing because I've seen people complaining about it. What exactly am I supposed to be using this for? And why would I want to use it if everyone is saying it's crap?

Hits keep coming, we made it through Milton, but a client shorted me $200 and my mom came home from ny with covid and exposed me to it hardcore

while I still think that boomer jokes are stupid, that generational humor is stupid in general because we all have issues across the ages and the only thing that never changes is feeling like when you were young things were easier and I generally hold no ill will towards the boomer category outside of making vague fun of some cringy stuff only that category posts on fb

I swear to god doing the very specific kind of retail I'm currently doing which I can't disclose is making me grow a damned resentment for the category in merit to some specific things no one outside that age range does and I just wish they'd fucking stop

litcherally how the fuck do men hate their wives this is like the best shit ever i love my girlfriend so gotdam much

[somekindx]

the fall of the house of boomer

so, not that this is revolutionary meta or anything, but

are we talking yet about Roderick and Madeline's choice to doom their entire lineage, and the mirror that choice holds up to the boomer generation?

the harm a generation has done to the lives, livelihoods, world, and future prospects of every generation that comes after them? the pathologic failure to take responsibility for their actions and the sociopathic lack of concern for their children's and grandchildren's future except insofar as it affects them? (I mean: climate change, the extortionate cost of living, the impossible real estate market, supply chain failures, the ongoing pandemic, the crappification of everything--)

do we believe Roderick and Madeline really care about any of those kids except as his "legacy" and useful little puppets they can move around the board? we do not.

(maybe Lenore. maybe only Lenore, and only because she is still a child with little agency of her own)

the parallels might be hitting me especially hard thanks to a bad week with a narcissistic parent... but it rings so true it must be intentional subtext, yes? maybe?
