I understand the appeal of the "only one bed" trope, but analysis seems to suggest that "Oh my god, there was only one brain cell" is more ubiquitously enjoyable.

Don't you ever feel like you like the ship angst more like the ship itself? Like, yeah I love them and I want them to be together, but I also want them to SUFFER, bc they love each other but can't be with the other, bc they think their love is unrequited (and maybe actually it is), or the other is dead and they miss each other every day, or simply the circumstances doesn't let them to be together, or maybe the angst can be them bonding over a shared trauma, or them consoling each other after a mental breakdown

Of course most of the time I would choose reading something fluffy about them because at the end of the day I want them to be happy BUT-

hate hate hate the way fandom will take a complex male character and reduce him to some woobified shadow of his former self so they don't have to grapple with his flaws.

they are constantly taking my boy and stripping him of every last compelling character trait until he's just a bland ass saltine cracker of a man who can do no wrong instead of the nuanced exploration of a flawed person he used to be.

let my man be shitty and responsible for his shittiness. stop trying to excuse or absolve him of his shitty actions when his shitty actions are exactly what make him interesting enough to put under a microscope and study like some kind of creature. you're ruining him.

[inkskinned]

please i love you i'm begging you bring back suspension of disbelief bring back trusting the audience like. i cannot handle any more dialogue that sounds like a legal document. "hello, i am here to talk to you about the incident from a few minutes ago, because i feel you might be unwell, and i am invested in your personal wellbeing." "thank you, i am unwell because the incident was hurtful to me due to my childhood, which was bad." I CANT!!!!

do you know how many people are mad that authors use "growled" as a word for "said"? it's just poetics! they do not literally mean "growled," it's just a common replacement for "said with force but in a low tone." it's normal! do you hear me!! help me i love you please let me out of here!!!

This is the magic lucky word count. Reblog for creativity juice. It might even work, who knows.

I'm always entertained by people doing those "canon VS fanon" memes where both are misunderstanding characters to such a violent degree 'cause like

I'm as grateful for cellphones as the next person, but sometimes I think about how everyone having a phone on them at all times really did cause us to loose some things as a society. I mean - for example, kids these days will never experience their car breaking down and needing to find the nearest place with a phone they can use. They're never going to have the opportunity to tentatively approach a house only to discover that it's full of queer people having a party hosted by a transvestite to celebrate his creation of a sex homunculus, stay the night, and loose their virginity while unintentionally partaking in cannibalism. It's tragic, that kind of gay sexual awakening just doesn't happen these days because of cellphones.

Usamericans should be more anti-war actually. They should be straight up insulting marines and shutting down weapon factories, 60s anti-war protests kind of shit. I'm sorry for pontificating from down here but the US military-industrial complex is currently supplying a genocide, and this is not a new thing, the US has sold weapons to Saudi Arabia to starve millions of Yemenis, the Iraq war, the Afghanistan war, these are within memory. And though some people think it's not the point, it Is also true that there are trillions upon trillions of dollars that could be spent in anything else that go to the black hole of corruption (and call it for what it is, corruption) that is the Pentagon. Any of those resources could be destined to literally any other activity and be better spent.

I'm talking full contempt here. You should outright be HATING the military. Instead of lining up to watch Top Gun you should see it as a glorification of a fucking killing machine that serves imperial interests, enriches megacorporations and supports genocides. For the love of God be more angry about it. Goddamn.

advice i think we should tell children is that when adults say stuff like ‘now that i’m an adult i get really excited about stuff like coffee tables and bathrooms and rugs etc’ they don’t mean ‘and now i don’t care about blorbo and squimbus from my childhood tv shows anymore’ bc your average adult still loves all the same pop culture stuff they always did; they just have a greater appreciation for the mundane as well. growing up just means you can enjoy life twice as much now. you can get really excited about a new stuffed animal AND about a new kitchen sponge. peace and love
