In the universe of the film, there is ABSOLUTELY a contingent of fans that fervently ship Argylle/Wyatt and have the dominant ship on AO3 and trade elaborate fan theories about their hidden relationship and are convinced they’re meant to be endgame but the publishers won’t allow it. Of course, they go totally BALLISTIC when they learn they’re based on the author and her boyfriend.

Obsessed with the fact that one of the bigots from Girl Defined is trying to rebrand her social media to sell courses on how to make courses allegedly (for $2k, no less) and is also allegedly "heavily inspiring herself" with other people's content and she shared this IG story about somebody who made a parody of her account

Which is, by the way, completely fine and allowed by Instagram's ToS and now she has caused said parody account to get extra attention and notice from others and it went from 14 followers to 600 in less than a day

And she is big mad about it and it even appeared first in the search bar for me, in front of her own account

Reblog not for sample size but to give others the chance to hate on these sites too.

hfdjkshfdsjklah my home parish is advertising some city-wide catholic women's group thing, and as if the phrase 'dynamic catholic women's group' wasn't bad enough to raise my hackles, they're like 'oh special guest speaker tammy p*terson wife of j*rdan p*eterson' AND mass presided by former archbishop cardinal c*llins.

.i love my hair

I love my hair.

I love it's tight curvature and format.

I love the volume it has.

I love how he looks when it's without definition.

And I sure do love my frizz. It's natural, God knows my work on keeping it hydrated.

And I don't need your opinion on what my hair should look like (I know your only advice is to clog my head with cream until it looks 10% like straight hair; I'm tuned 'bout your tricks)

Fuck, I love my hair.

And no white supremacy can change that.

Fire on racists. <3

Pinterest is a special kind of site that will probably exist past the death of our universe.

I’ve been on Pinterest (and tumblr) for a WHILE. Probably about a decade give or take, regardless of the account I use or if I’m lurking and just viewing things or posting myself. On one hand, Pinterest has all the expected “arts and crafts”, “interior design” inspiration, varying “aesthetics”, fashion, food inspo, and the usual inspirational quotes. But if you stay a while and start looking, you’ll see that almost every form of artistic form (or Fanart) has been uploaded there. I’ve known some artists say that they know they’ve “made it” when they see their art on Pinterest. Unless it’s 18+ cuz that site is fairy stingy with even HINTS of adult fun times What’s funny about this brings me to another aspect of the site: the COMMENTS. Now, comment sections aren’t new, and there’s nothing particularly amazing about Pinterest comments either. On art posts, a lot of people will who the artist was in the comments. What’s funny about comments on Pinterest is the time in between comments and ESPECIALLY responses. There are comments on pins from almost a decade ago with questions that got answered A MONTH AGO. No one says anything about it, and no one really cares either. It’s a liminal space of things just EXISTING, all simultaneously easy and hard to find. I also want to add that the translation feature in the comment section has been better than Twitter, Instagram, or any google translate I’ve used thus far and I find that HILLARIOUS

If you see the art, you’re one hop and a skip away from the full fledged Pinterest experience. This is where you see the memes, snippets of reddit posts, and ESPECIALLY tumblr posts. A lot of the tumblr posts are also in the original tumblr format too, which makes for a WILD viewing experience on a site that so clearly compresses the images so that some of these are too blurry to even read, yet people pin them anyways. There are the obvious biggest-gaudiest-patronuses, i-am-a-fish, the whole CATEGORY of superwholock, and so on, but ultimately there’s kind of EVERYTHING. I’ve found some of my best memes and most cursed images there, along with finding tumblr posts that aren’t even ON tumblr anymore.

This is where I get to my point: Pinterest is the catch-all. EVERYTHING ends up on there, one way or another. Pinterest acts as both a blank slate that can offer ANYTHING you seek, but at the same time is an archive that is void of any sense of time or space. Pinterest is the archive where things go to perish. If something is gone from the main web or social media or the like, so long as it can be an image or short video, it will somehow be on Pinterest in one way or another. FINDING it is the only struggle you will face. It serves as both a place to keep that which is archived there alive, but also as the digital tombstone of what was. Pinterest is where all things end up, and it is the place where all things die.

Pinterest is a wild place. You should visit sometime.

not gonna answer today’s anons (or doodle requests) individually, i’m not back (yet) LMAO;; i’m still focused on short film animation crunch and Just left for an out of state family reunion this thanksgiving, sorry! i only have two memey doodles for captain laserhawk in mind before moving on, the recent silly asks + requests coincided to make me want to doodle extra, that’s all 💀

still a bit at a loss of what to “do” when this semester’s less stressful, esp to ease into continuing storyboard practice and figuring out what i want to draw, either fanart or personal original stuff,, lots of things on my mind, but hope things go okay as i figure it out

Ik the new show is laughably bad but and so scooby doo is on everyones minds but im going to start throwing shit if I have to hear tumblr user #258 talking about how THEY would make an adult scooby doo. Not everyones ideas are bad this website is just too predictable and annoying sometimes

[beauceronn]

I really didn't like when people used to say "you know everybody" at shows because really I meet at least one new person at every show, but I do know a lot of people I realise. I never have to be or feel alone. If you had told my shy ass this a year ago I wouldn't have believed you.

This is such an online opinion to even form but I hate the idea of a qpp

I know it's probably just the DVD logo in my brain hitting the corner perfectly but I think the reason the Bad Apple animation in r/place makes me so emotional is reminiscent of the pale in Disco Elysium. It's like yeah maybe in a few years Martinaise and Revachol will cease to exist because it'll be swallowed up by the pale... but it exists now, and it's a whole complex, intricate, and aggressively passionate world, and just because it's a bit broken and will soon vanish doesn't mean it wasn't beautiful while it existed.

Everyone knows that reddit is on its last legs because of the whole API controversy and the timing of r/place feels like a distraction from that. but despite their anger, it also might be the last time an r/place canvas is opened up, and well... if it's the last time, we might as well make something beautiful, right? something that takes a unique advantage of the fact that r/place is a place of change rather than a static canvas, and needs to be meticulously timed and curated? something grand and borderline impossible, just because we love it and we're passionate about it? because reddit is still here right now, even if it's breathing its last, it's a place that their users surely loved, where you were able to meet people who loved the same things you did. our communities might fragment into smaller and smaller pieces in the future if we lose reddit. it might be the last time we can still convene and hold hands like this. so we'll make something as beautiful and as passionate as we can, even if this place will no longer exist in a few years...
