Shen Yuan getting transported into pidw isn't "the system punishing him for being a lazy internet hater," but instead representative of "step 1 of the creative process: getting so mad at something you decide to go write your own fucking book" in this essay I will

Casual reminder that The Trevor Project supported KOSA; so yes, while their bottom line is helpful to trans youth (& unfortunately only anyone under a certain age), their top execs were supporting bills like KOSA not but a few months ago so be weary of that organization. Donate directly to trans people instead if you can or to Friends of Trevor and other more honest & reputable organizations. Though preferably directly to trans people in need.

The problem with Louis' shady tweets is not only causing fandom wars online, but in person too, which could lead to scary situations.

Last year on one of the festivals we saw some antis ripping friendship bracelets into pieces. Someone was passing around a collection of hundreds of bracelets to exchange them, and these 2 girls just started to cut the Larry related ones off with a small pocket knife before we could notice what was happening. The owner tried to grab it from them, but one of the girls didn't let it go, so some more bracelets got ruined too.

The bracelet girl went to a security guy explaining to him what happened, but he didn't give a shit. I guess fangirl behavior counts as hysterics and not finding it dangerous. I wonder if a fan's football jersey gets cut into pieces during a match, the security would still behave the same.

It doesn't matter how he meant his words, he knows exactly how his fandom behaves, it should be clear for him not to fuel them. Does he really want stupid catfights on his shows?

That’s just disgusting behavior. Like, you’re essentially tormenting a group of people who think two boys fell in love. How fucking stupid are you to think that warrants death threats?

Friendly reminder: just because someone participates in a kink space doesn't mean they want kink directed at them personally. Just because you've talked with someone before, whether about kink or not, doesn't mean they want kink directed at them personally or that they want to get kinky with you. Even with someone who you've had kinky interactions with in the past, it's always a good idea to ask first if they're in the mood for a kinky chat or want to receive belly pics or hear about your boner.

Because maybe they do! And then you're interacting with someone who's on the same wavelength as you and you're more likely to get the actual interaction you're looking for! And if they're not into it then you can skip over the awkward conversation or being left on read and you can keep it moving and keep reaching out to find people who actually are into it and interested :)

Nothing touches me more than when someone trusts you enough to share their Big Pitch. That bit of art they have been dreaming up lazily over the course of years that they one day want to give the love and attention they feel it deserves.

I hope any of you reading out there know how special it is to be invited in on someone's passionate project and entrusted to listen to this unformed piece of a person's soul and accept it and encourage it and be privileged to imagine it before reality starts trimming the scope of it.

Over decades people have shared webcomic ideas, fan-fiction, film scripts, roleplay campaigns and characters filled with intricate twists and reveals.

So many beautiful and wonderful ideas and I carry them all in silence. Thinking of them and sometimes thinking "oh [friend] is going to be pissed when they see this" when a piece of pop culture "steals their idea."

It's such a beautiful part of humanity that fills me with life.

I know how vulnerable it can be to trust people with those things. But my god it's such a good thing.

Years and years later, long after the friendship died, I still think of those passionate pitches. I hope one day I get to see one realized.
