#ON FUCKING FORUMS

[qasian-tech-support]

The loss of forums is also part of why you have to add "reddit" to the end of search queries on Google to find any human answers to your questions, instead of article and article of AI generated slop. Go and create your own forums for shit, and fight back against Discord

THIS PERSON SUMS IT UP VERY WELL!

I couldn't agree with her more! This is the way more and more Americans are feeling! PLEASE REPOST TO ALL YOU KNOW!

Thinking back to when I first started feeling like I was trans, but when I googled it in the best way I could describe (I think it was something like "Is it normal to want to be a girl") most of the results talked about it as if it was just some taboo fetish that is embarassing to think. Thinking about how I carried that on my back as a teen thinking I was some morally reprehensible freak (thanks vaguely Christian upbringing for making me have to unlearn shame btw). How I felt like my intense longing would never be realized, and would only ever exist in a realm of fantasy. I didn't want to be a sex object. I just wanted to be me. But the only sources I could find at the time were just transmisogynistic.

Transgender education is so important, even just the fact that the term "transgender" is more widely known now is a huge leap for helping trans kids find themselves.

Fun bit of etiquette difference between Reddit and Tumblr is if someone misuses a word on Reddit (wrong "their", "peak"/"pique", whatever) it's common to see someone in the replies correct it and the OP will be like "oh thank you. edited my comment to fix grammar error"

If you do that on Tumblr you get mauled with teeth.

just dipping my toes into a deep dive on anne rice’s legacy in transformative works today. she really burned a thriving fan community to the ground and it is a testament to the new series that there’s been such a fan work resurgence and it is now a major responsibility of its current “official” (most powerful) stewards to treat that other material respectfully. rice’s copyright cudgel in the 2000s will have you shaking with anger if you care at all about fan communities or transformative work or copyright as a tool of class warfare

In which Persephone is told she can't game the system- (TEXT EDIT)

no art was edited here, just text to make this more realistic to how this scene WOULD have gone if it was an actual courtroom with real rules LOL I find it a little weird that Rachel wrote a courtroom drama arc like this and then twisted it this much to benefit Persephone because like... clearly she was inspired by courtroom drama shows, and I can't help but wonder if she got all of her basic courtroom knowledge from like, Spongebob or some shit LOL

— mojo magazine full interview, oasis, may 2005:

+highlights:

liam gallagher: it's biblical innit, cain and abel... it's me and our kid. or me and you. two people who are the opposite, who become one.

[interviewer: are you holding an olive branch out to noel?]

liam gallagher: it's nice to put a band aid on it for a bit, knowwhatimean? i love him, i adore him, more than anyone else in the fuckin' whole wide world. but we also don't speak that much. we don't have to speak. but that song is basically for him. it's like, shut the fuck up. give respect and you'll get respect back. life, brothers and sisters, that's what we all want isn't it, respect?

[interviewer: or love...]

liam gallagher: but love is the same kind of thing. if you love someone you respect someone, you respect someone, you love someone. it all comes in the same... sandwich.

+

[interviewer: he says ggtia is about you and him...]

noel gallagher: oh is it? is that what he said? for 6 months, i thought that song was ggti a-b-I-e. i'm very fucking confused as to what it means, but if he's writing songs about me then great. it's fucking better than writing songs about the missus.

+

liam gallagher: me and him are brothers and we'll never be over. that's the beauty of the band. if we were mates then we'd be out on our arse before now, but we're in this forever. i'm a sense it was never over. but [la, 1994] was a dark time. what with our 'new found fame' and all that nonsense, and i thought maybe this was it. but in the back of my mind, there was always a way back. me and 'im will go on forever, and beyond... beyond this time. it'll go on forever and ever and ever.

+

[interviewer: what would persuade you to pack in oasis?]

noel gallagher: what, altogether? i'd never pack it in. i can't leave oasis. i am oasis. it's be like pete townshend leaving the who and roger carrying on. i can never leave. i am the fucking band.

saw the famous excerpt about ggtia circulating again and decided to unearth the full interview. have never seen it on tumblr before, so ! had to provide🙂‍↕️

on the topic of "does jay bauman is gay": i think a lot about this gay forum (that, if you scroll down enough on g*ogle images, will probably find a link to but is lost to me forever now) which had a jay thread and everyone was like omg who is HE... hes cute... followed up by "is he gay" and a bunch of gay forumgoers were like a gay man would NEVER wear This

DR FAUCI LIED AND HE KNEW IT!

Dr. Fauci knew in 2005 that chloroquine (hydroxychloroquine) was a "wonder drug" for SARS-CoV, according to the NIH themselves. Despite this, he demonized the drug and falsely said it was ineffective.

He even used the fake and retracted HCQ Lancet study to push this lie.

-------------------------------------------

How much Dr FAUCI personally benefit from the COVID-19 pandemic? Inquiring minds want to know!

Kind of a weird AU but hear me out:

Finwe marries Indis, right? Most controversial thing Finwe ever done and that includes leading elves from their ancestral home to a new continent to live with gods. Silmarillion says that it happened because he fell in love and I believe it BUT what Silmarillion doesn't tell you is WHEN Finwe marries Indis. I saw posts that say the canon is inconclusive and Tolkien probably changed his mind a lot, and half of what of what Tolkien wrote is thrown from the window by fandom, so.

Anyway, one of the versions said Feanor was at least a teenager when Finwe/Indis happens (I think). What Silmarillion states is that Feanor married VERY young by elven standards, and that Nerdanel was below his station (classism? in elven society? apparently!).

Last thing before I get to the main point: Fingolfin marries Anaire, a Noldo lady, who I saw often enough written as a noble or a court lady, perfectly fine that, no idea if that's canon. And Finarfin very much marries Teleri princess.

...I don't know guys, it feels very convienient. For princes to fall in love with exactly the kind of women who would be approved by royal court and strenghten political ties with other elven factions. If it was anything else than silm, I would call political marriages.

Time for crack: based on what I wrote above I propose an AU where it was FEANOR who was supposed to marry Indis. For politics! Vanyar are the most important faction in Aman! Let's marry into that!

But the MOMENT Feanor became an adult and they could process with courting without making it creppier than it already is, Feanor runs off to elope with his coworker and there's nothing they can do. Well, that's what Finwe tells Ingwe when Ingwe rages about it to him.

Finwe loves Feanor, he wants him to marry for love, and that's exactly what happens. But, uh, all Vanyar are pissed that there's no political marriage when they were promised one (they mad cause they look stupid now), and, well. Finwe decides to bite the bullet. For his son.

It's not true of course. But imagine family dinners after that.

Also it's still very funny to me when I say "I like Rings of Power" and someone sees it and says I'm not a true fan of Tolkien's works and must not know anything about his writing and then I post a picture of my bookshelf. Never gets old.
