#Spud stopped by

[nerdieforpedro]

Hello Nerdie!

Spud here, just stopping by to spread a little bit of positivity in your inbox 🐸🩷

Firstly thanks for saying you like my fics! That's so sweet of you and really appreciated. I haven't checked out your writing yet (my TBR list is growing longer and longer lol) but I promise I'll get to it at some point. I'd maybe love to hear a fic you're particularly proud of and recommend!

I wanted to say how much I appreciate the way you engage with your followers! I think your weekly updates are so sweet and I'm sure everyone appreciates it. I know I enjoy reading what you've been up to :)

I always love seeing you on my dash and your blog feels like a happy, safe place to be! Hope you enjoy the rest of your day/evening/night and the rest of the week treats you kindly. Sending love!!🩷

Spud you sweet potato you! 🥰

Thank you so much for your kind words and I do enjoy your fluffy Din fics, he deserves all the fluff. ❤️

As for Din fics of mine to read it depends on what you’re in the mood for:

Smut with feelings and a very long ending with cameos - Sard’ika Sessions (The smut increases and there a warnings on each section but overall I believe it’s a beautiful 6 part story.)

For fluff with slight plot violence: Our Journey Across the Star Ocean (The violence involves some blood and an injury. But other than that, very fluffy. I wanted to give Din some fluff too, but he’s cute and anxious.)

There’s also my March Spring Prompts in which I ended on Din with Fairies and Garden 🪴 They both have a bit of comedy and Din meeting a fairy warrior. 😆

Enough self promotion 👀

I’m glad you enjoy my weekend updates, I’ll be starting them back up this coming Sunday. I enjoy writing them (because I believe I am a comedy writer despite no training 😂). But interacting with my mutuals and readers is the main thing that make Tumblr great. 😊

I do my best to ensure that anyone who wants to engage with me and my work in a respectful manner has a safe space to do so. Plus I like to keep things fun because life is so hard already. 🤔 Why make it harder by being so serious? Except when you need to be.

Thank you so much Spud and I’m sending love right back! 💕💕💕

I have no real desire to get involved in ship wars (And really, this isn't about shipping), nor do I want to argue over what I would/wouldn't like to be canon. I stick to enjoying what I enjoy with fellow freaks on the internet and leave everyone else to it...

But I must admit, it's slightly disappointing to read some of the takes disguised as feminist when in reality, they are arguably quite harmful and seemingly rooted in misogyny which are being shared around.

Women being in love does not "cheapen" their stories.

Women can be powerful characters and still be in love.

A woman being in love does not make her weak or any less powerful.

Women can be fully-fledged, powerful and 'badass' characters and still be in love.

If you think a 'powerful' woman having a romantic relationship makes her weak, it kind of seems like because falling in love and romance are seen as feminine, you actually just think a woman's femininity makes her weak...

I really wish there could be an acceptance that women can be both strong, powerful, intelligent and in love. Women do not have to choose, in life or in fiction. And there is rarely the same attitude when it comes to male characters. I never see anyone say that being in love would make a strong, independent man weak.

Anyway, I personally think that female characters who have been through horrible things deserve a happy ending and it does not weaken them to allow them to have a romantic partner. Being strong is exhausting and having someone there when they need a break after a busy day of being a girlboss is totally understandable, healthy and acceptable.

In conclusion, let powerful women fall in love!!!

Happy Beltane to those who celebrate! Fozzie chose to enjoy the season by stopping and smelling the flowers in the backyard meadow. 🥰

The Ouroboros of Consumer Culture:

Nose and ear shearers are a sham. You cut hairs in parts of your body that grow back twice as thick, fucking pointless but I digress-

So the idea is to keep people locked into buying these products for an indefinite, ritually compulsed exercise in futility(to say nothing of planned obselesence). So much of the modern american ideal is based on this mechanism; paying an arm and a leg for bread and circuses or hooked into buying cheap carnival toys, paying someone to jingle their car-keys in front of your face. The same annoying but well-meaning(at least at the time)protestors from the original Occupy movement days now run laps around Zuccotti Park sharing their fit-bit data to twatter, hash-tag mic-check, hash tag solidarity. Little do they know, writhing in the smallest regions of their guts, a machine-god spies on them through their blood: amassing any activity and energy it can extract and recruiting other like nano-tech constituencies(thanks, Charles Lieber!)and accompanying radiations to slurp up all available bio-mass for the same reason a dog pisses on a fire-hydrent.

Briefly coming back from the dead in order to post this comparison my brother made

Going to be very off-topic for just a sec, but given how that campaign is all over my dash, I feel like I can't go on ignoring the emotions it provokes in me. Plus, since this is such a common struggle, I hope that maybe some of you can relate and I want you to know that you aren't alone at all.

If you're also struggling with your emotions over this and you need someone to talk to in confidence, I'm here for you. I understand.

Anyway, warning for mentions of alcohol abuse below the cut:

It's always fascinating to me how alcohol is marketed as this positive thing which brings you happiness and a great social life. When in reality, it often destroys relationships and lives and is, by definition, a depressant. It is a substance which often leaves you unhappier, fatter, lonelier, weaker, sicker, poorer...

And also, do you ever notice how it's never marketed around the taste (because it's literally poisonous and due to social pressure, we have to trick our brains by drinking it enough times that we eventually convince ourselves we actually like the taste of poison)?

It's always about sharing a beer with friends at the beach or enjoying a glass of wine with a meal. Never about how delicious it tastes...

While you may crave the feeling of being drunk, do most people really enjoy the taste and that's the primary reason why they drink? Is that the main reason given at AA meetings/rehab clinics? Do you ever hear alcoholics say: "I couldn't stop drinking that beer because it was just so crisp and refreshing!"

No, of course not. Alcohol is primarily used as a social crutch, or as an escape from one's problems. Dutch courage, social drinking where you feel giggly, giddy and tipsy... until one day you realise you can't socialise without it and it transforms from enjoyment to dependency, hopefully before you permanently damaged your organs...

Anyway, this isn't me being puritanical. I'm not mad at these campaigns or those who star in them, because at the end of the day, celebrities will always take cash from questionable sources. Money talks. Always has, always will.

It's merely an observation on the life this campaign 'sells,' as someone who has decided to break the generational cycle of alcoholism in my family and has been sober for 18 months now.

And a way for me to sort through my feelings and vent my own emotions around these kinds of campaigns. I don't miss alcohol and I don't feel tempted to drink whatsoever, but it's everywhere and there will remain a danger for the rest of my life that I could forget everything I've learned about alcohol. I don't want to lose sight of why I walked away from this destructive drug which is so widely accepted. When the truth is it is far more harmful to you than many illegal drugs.

If you enjoy alcohol, I truly hope you have fun with it in moderation. But I hope you can also stop and recognise the risks involved each time you reach for the bottle. The slippery slope you may be on which there is a danger you don't realise you've been sliding down until you're at the bottom, looking back up. And I hope you realise that what these advertising campaigns show are never rooted in the reality of what this substance can do to you.

If you start drinking that beer, it's far more likely you'll end up with kidney damage than you will ever get to share a cold bottle of it on the beach with that actor you love so much...
