honestly the best part of my job is befriending other hotel employees who are nice and friendly and don't feel entitled to treating me how their worst guests treat them

Perceptive kid, I wonder just how much they pretend not to overhear.

whoever is elected president of the United States will immediately become a war criminal upon being sworn in if they are not one already and captain america was already about nationalism and if you didn't notice the MCU being racist about arabs in the very first fucking iron man film WHICH WAS SPONSORED BY THE US MILITARY I simply do not know what to tell you and I'm going to dunk all of you into a big old bucket of ice until you are damp and chilly

i think we gotta be more careful about falling into the trap of placing heaps of blame on the most vulnerable groups around us because it’s easier, emotionally or otherwise, than going after those in power. like i mostly talk about transandrophobia right now and how transmascs get so much shit thrown at us because were easier to attack than cis people, and i’ve seen people do the same thing to transfems and NBs too. to me it’s extra disappointing when it’s someone who is vocally supportive of transmascs doing it (like generalizing all transfems as being hostile to transmascs/being transandrophobic). it’s of course important to talk about inter community issues and point out harmful behaviors and ideologies when we see them, and talk about how someone’s life experience might lead them to be that way, but singling out one type of trans person as The Culprit is not helpful and just feels like it further drives a wedge into our community. we may be able to perpetuate aspects of the transphobic systems cis people put in place, but none of us are responsible for them and we don’t benefit from them, past surface level “acceptance” from people who’d be more comfortable if one type of trans person or all of us didn’t exist at all

Love that Terra clearly had the worst possible understanding of Eda and Raine (thinking they wouldn’t team up to fight her as kids, that Raine wasn’t smart enough to lie through their teeth until the Day of Unity, etc) but even SHE knows damn well those two are absolute fucking losers for each other. Can you imagine how insufferable they had to be off-screen for Terra to openly mock it with zero hesitation. What did she have to bear witness to

Ao3 tagging rant

At this point people are using Ao3 tagging system like it's fucking tumblr tags. It's getting real fucking hard to actually just find fic and at this point I think I'm just going to skip fics that don't properly tag things.

They were in love, Even if they hated each other, Everyone around them knew it, And they were stubborn till the very end,

That bullshit doesn't tell me anything. It tells me you don't know how to tag properly and that you have no idea that people are looking for fics like yours but can't fucking find it.

Enemies to Lovers, Slow Burn, Mutual Pining, + (Other coherent tags)

This tells me exactly what I'm looking for. It gives me coherent tags to search for. Put the first tags in the synopsis section of the fic, not the tags. Also, just because you make a tag, doesn't mean it's searchable.

On Ao3 there are things called tag wranglers and it's a hard fucking job because they are constantly having to wrangle commonly used tags in order to instate them as searchable tags.

The more you put this nonsense in the tags, the more BS they have to wade through.

What was the most unhinged way you used to write fanfiction?

[toddtakefive]

thinking about todd and his resolve toward… not quite isolation, but being alone in a room full of people again. he goes along to the study room to sit on his own and do his homework, he sits at the poets table and follows along with what’s being said while keeping quiet, he goes to the meetings at all but doesn’t necessarily contribute (in fact, if you watch him when cameron is telling the story ‘from camp in sixth grade’, you can see that he recognizes it before any of the other poets but doesn’t voice it until they all have). he’s not alone, necessarily, if you want to get technical about it, he’s just lonely, and he’s generally okay with that. he doesn’t have friends and that’s fine, he doesn’t participate in class and that’s fine, he doesn’t have a relationship with his family and that’s fine—he could live without any real connection and he’d have been, more or less, fine.

the thing about when he says “i can take care of myself just fine!” is that he isn’t really wrong, you can infer that he’s been doing it his entire life anyway, it’s that ‘taking care of yourself’ isn’t the same thing as really living or being happy. todd’s an introvert, certainly, and even as he gets closer to the group he defaults to sitting quietly in the background, but he’s also denying himself community out of fear not introversion. todd isn’t friendless because he’s an introvert, although that definitely plays a part, he’s friendless because he pushes anyone that might want his company away. if anyone has every wanted for his attention in the first place. (neil’s unwavering interest in him is unique (even when it comes to the rest of the poets, who are fine with todd coming along and joining the group, but aren’t really hellbent on him being there in the beginning) and his refusal to accept it is a direct result of being so lonely growing up.)

there’s obviously something to be said about the implications of his parents neglect, and the more than likely fact that he grew up friendless, and how those both play a part in in him being so skilled at dodging social interaction/being so avoidant of it, but by the time we see him in the movie he’s all but accepted his fate as being alone his entire life. he’s already accepted being the family disappointment, and he’s already accepted he’ll never amount to anything, and he obviously doesn’t like it, but he’d have managed living with that knowledge without the confirmation that it was all wrong. would he have been miserable? almost certainly. but he’d have managed. he’d done it for that long already, anyhow.

14, dragging s10 Saxon into a galactic therapy office: Hi! I believe I made an appointment the other day?

Master: This is so stupid..

Doctor: You promised!

Master: I did no such thing!

Shanon, the front desk lady: Couples counciling is down the hall to the left in room 36 B.

Doctor: Oh! I-.. were not...-

are we?

Master: Haha!! No- ...Ew.

Doctor: Yuh were uhm.... We're not a couple.

Shanon: ....

Master: Look, lady, I dont care what he thinks of me, as long as it's about me, mkay? That's normal evil neminsis stuff. You wouldn’t get it.

Shanon: ... Uh-huh..

Master: God see this is the problem with you people. You're so obsessed with romance and labels that you can't grasp the concept that what we have is beyond any labels known or able to produce, let alone be processed or understood by your febel minds!! There's no title for what we have! He's so much more important to me than that! This isn't just some pathetic sex relationship or 'love'! We've been through galaxies together, killed stars, burnt up suns, and fought to the point of killing one another just so we could have the satisfaction of saving the other again sometime down the line! Just so we can know that deep down, we'll always be there for one another, and for a mere second, the universe will be in sync! What about that says romantic to you!?

Shanon, eyeing them both: ... riiigghhtt..

Master, borderline over the desk, whispering: I'd kill him for a cheese steak sub. Right here. Right now. With my bare hands. And then I'll use his stupid hair to mop up the blood.

Shanon: ....You know... Denial is a river in Egypt..

Master: What?

Doctor, staring at him in awe:... You care about me that much?

Master: Of course not!! Since children you've been a goody little two shoes. I just.. never could get rid of you, is all..

Doctor, teary-eyed: You know what, which door did you say couples counciling was agian?

Bonus:

Master: I don't see why we need couples counciling, were not even together anymore(!...)

Doctor: Well... We never technically broke up...

Master: yOU MEAN ALL THIS TIME YOU'VE BEEN CHEATING ON ME!?

Doctor: And this is why we need counciling-

Master: No THIS is why we can't have nice things!!

Doctor: Oh yeah, says the one who KILLED HIMSELF OUT OF JEALOUSY-

Master: OH, LIKE YOU COULD HANDLE TWO OF ME!

Doctor: ....

Master, now smirking: Oh, you sick bastard..

like don't get me wrong Callum flat out exchanging the cube or freeing Aaravos of his own 'free will' because Rayla's life is on the line is my Beloved Theory. that said, because we've already had a hostage deal and exchange of information + dark magic use was to save her life, it's like...

It'd be even funnier to me if Rayla's not directly in danger. Because it's one thing to knowingly open yourself up to Aaravos and risk doing dark magic again when if you don't, she will literally die (thank you 5x08). It's another form of escalation entirely to trust Aaravos' word or or risk possession Again just because she's sad or will maybe do something dangerous to free her family if you don't step in and do it first

[bookmark-extraordinaire]

I recently had a conversation with a friend that made me realise that (maybe) people might not know that the Italian mafia still exists and actively operates all over Italy. Like, the general international public has this old-timey idea of the mafia that stops at the 1950s, with Al Capone, seedy bars, car chases with tommy guns etc. etc. or at least that seems to be the case for the people who don’t live in Europe, or otherwise close to Italy.

So, I made this poll. DISCLAIMER: this poll is NOT so i could judge people in any way. I can’t really fault anyone for not knowing about a problem so tied to Italian soil and culture, I was just curious.

NOTE: I’m not making a distinction between the actual Mafia, Camorra, Ndrangheta etc. etc. just pretend that all Italian organized crime is one big thing for the sake of this poll.
