I have this problem constantly, trying to not get every Doctor I write to sound like Ten

writing for the doctor is a straight up nightmare because yes he would fucking say that. yes he would fucking act like that... but only the tenth doctor. none of the rest of them are like that! and vice versa

Would kill to read animal POV fiction that has the animal POV’s interaction with humans be like, semi realistic to the level of caution most predators take with large prey and/or competitors (including humans).

Like instead of the usual - “the human is such a weak, pathetic creature... so slow, no claws, blunt teeth… completely helpless without its 'Fire Sticks'. how is it the master of the earth?” type crap it’s like, the bear protagonist or whatever approaches some dude who spreads their arms and yells and the bear is like “FUUUUUUUUCK THAT THING JUST GOT HUGE. IT'S LARGE AND MAKING NOISES. HOLY FUCK.”

I just listened to a couple songs from current female artists who... all sound the same. Like they've all got that one particular kind of breathy pretty flawless voice. The way 90% of female singers seem to sound nowadays. It drives me bonkers. The only good thing about it is that it makes me feel like, "well, I may not have a very professionally-trained-sounding voice, but thank god I don't sound like THEM at least".

I. Hurt.

And I was hurting anyway, I'm pretty down this morning, but this hurt came from an outside source, and affected me in a way I'd honestly not have expected.

See, we bought Nimona last week. After seeing the movie, my kids wanted to read it. And I ended up reading ahead, and I just finished it.

Bonus content at the end, it said, and I was like, oh, an epilogue to the epilogue maybe? That'd be nice. I don't love bittersweet endings, I'd rather...

...no, it's not the conclusion.

It's CHRISTMAS.

In a book that'd had no religion that I noticed up to that point, BOTH bonus extras...were Christmas.

Ya know, usually it doesn't bother me. Usually I just suck it up. I think it helps that I was raised around mostly Jews and people who, if Christian, it didn't matter much to them. I'm from the Upper West Side of Manhattan, the descendent of Lower East Side immigrants, and while the world outside was brutal - my grandfather was a World War 2 veteran and among the soldiers who liberated Dachau, I can't remember a time when I didn't know that most people would look the other way if people like me were slaughtered wholesale - my bubble was safe, we were accepted, we were insiders.

I honestly can't think of another time I've interacted with a piece of media and felt so immediately, instantly knocked across the face by OUTSIDER as I just did when I excitedly turned the page to see what these fun extra bonuses were...and it was fucking Christmas.

I didn't even read them.

I'm honestly. So disappointed.

I don't have a thick armor for this kind of hurt. I'm Jewish, and as an adult living outside my old UWS bubble, that's often meant I've felt like an outlier, but I've hardly ever had this feeling where I was welcome to something only to be suddenly, violently shoved out the door.

And I've heard nothing, n.o.t.h.i.n.g. but praise for this book. And on another day, it might not have bothered me. I've never really felt like I had to fight to be seen, especially since I'm tremendously secular. I mean, I've celebrated Christmas my entire life, for starters.

But why. Why was this fantasy setting suddenly Christian? Why was this the touted extra content? Why is THIS special, when the areligious world established to that point was apparently not special enough?

I can't say yet if this ruined the story for me. It's far too soon. But I'm *intensely*, viscerally let down, and...I hurt.

Christians...maybe stop doing this shit.

it's so fucking stupid how bill maher is so insistant on Loving America and its exceptionalism. like, he's kvetching abt how "gen z" (antizionist protesters) and Macklemore enthusiastically hate america and are not taking to kamala's America First (Woke) shit. it's like, he's so mad that they are not sucking the the founding fathers dicks (who accomplished more than these zoomers have by their late teens and early 20s!) and that they should be Greatful to live in the Best Country on Earth. On top of that, he (seemingly) believes that bullshit abt how "everyone" immigrates to USAmerica bc they "want what [they] have." like... even this idea that one needs to feel proud of the nationstate they happen to be born in/are a citizen of is like... why? this isn't a necessary thing to feel and these nation states (not states in general lol) are not essential. and just because usamericans (and to a slightly lesser extent, others within the imperial core) benefit from well, being from there, it doesn't mean they can't acknowledge how their privilege comes at the cost of violence and suffering toward many others. like... AHDHJWS!!!!! rijxnwkxnsks i know this is just run-of-the-mill conservative/usamerican shit and i am not trying to own him (or his fans) epic style bc who cares but my god is it annoying to hear.

The thing is. If you are a transformers fan and you partake in fanfiction. You will see alot of mpreg. And for a long time you will choose not read it. But if you are a transformers fan long enough. You will probably read it at least once.

getting into arguments about corsetry in the 1920s with fanfiction authors. perhaps its time to log off.

alright i don't like and/or don't understand that monologue about cerulean blue sweaters and such in the devil wears prada, how does the fashion elite's influence and decisions trickling down into department stores and having unconscious effects on everyone in society make the fashion industry any more respectable or less of a circle-jerk like how is that a good thing how would that make fashion "real". feel free to chime in if you liked this part of the movie or liked its message cause if there is something to get, i don't get that

I’m sorry I HATE the hairstyle that’s like all short hair EXCEPT like one long horse tail length of hair coming out the back of their head

[holytrickster]

siren lore because theyre mine now

they tie things into their hair because they dont have pockets (like...a cool rock, a shrimp perhaps, jewelry probably)

reading/the ability to read isnt common and a lot of information is pass down orally or through songs

they have good memories and can pick up languages fast

fog indicates the presence of many

100% definitely covered in parasites

my least favorite little thing that millennials do in videos is when they widen their eyes a lot in a fake humorous shock way w their lips in that ‘trying not to laugh’ clench, look off to the side of the camera, and give a little quirky head jerk right before they say a little quirky thing because i KNOW they’re thinking they’re like jim from the office. it gives me one of those poison status effects
