nothing will be funnier than the fact that as a cult member, narinder is shorter than lamb (i think it's just bc all the followers are shorter than lamb, by design, but it's still funny to think about)

thinking about john hart's gender again

like. he's from the 51st century, right? and it's safe to assume that by that point gender would be completely unrecognisable to us in the 21st century and i know it's just a few throwaway joke lines but hear me out. he uses he/him (or at least, never corrects anyone who does) and presents masculine (to our 21st century eyes) but is clearly very comfortable using "feminine" terms. jack calls him a wife and john says he was a good wife and we know jack would never misgender anyone and john is clearly happy taking the title and running with it. the name he suggest gwen calls him by is vera, which is a traditionally feminine name. in the torchwood comic shrouded his ex calls him a girl. that is a whole ass he/him woman. i am so normal about him

in similar vein to reading watership down and being pleasantly surprised by how hopeful it was i have now finished reading haunting of hill house and have been kind of pleasantly surprised by how. sapphic. it was. i mean its a horror story and has left me with the correct sense of sort of quiet unease and like. im going to need to think about it for a while and like. damn. but it also was QUITE queer in ways i was not expecting going in. so thats fun! (said while thinking about houses and walls and unreliable narrators and dissolving sense of self)

Okay. I know I have a lot of cooking mutuals, what do I need to do to make cooking enjoyable??? I am so fucking tired of eating canned soup and kraft mac n cheese and "concoction" (ground beef with whatever else I have that needs eaten and every spice I own). I know people say "if you don't like veggies try different ways of cooking them!" here the thing though, I hate veggie prep. So even changing how I cook them, everything else about veggies is an awful experience for me so I never want to do it. I know people talk about "15 minute meals!" and "one pan recipes!", but so far those have all been lies. People talk about experimenting and trying new things, but I straight up don't know how to do that. People say to listen to podcasts or audiobooks while prepping, but either I focus on the prep and hear none of the story or I focus on the story and struggle with the prep. I am not fast with prep, so meals that require prepping multiple things at once or prepping something while something else is cooking never fails to stress me out to a wild degree. I don't know how I'm supposed to keep everything from burning and keep things stirred and chop up everything and get the next ingredients out and clean as I work all at the same time. I do not enjoy picking out recipes or buying groceries (genuinely hate more than any other chore besides laundry), so meal prep is next to impossible for me. I forget to thaw meat nearly every time I want to cook something and so end up putting it off for days. I can never seem to get my roasted veggies to actually roast, somehow they just steam themselves in the oven. I do not want or like cooking gadgets, so I am doing everything with the very basic supplies. I am cooking for one person so leftovers are a constant issue (I have eaten so much left over food that I find genuinely sickening because I didn't want to waste it). And then I have to do this every day forever till I die. How do I make myself like this??? I am so fucking tired of eating gross food.

idk if its just my tumblr feed but i see A LOT of ship discourse on here. um and i am just curious. why anyone cares. bc like these r the main arguments

"i dont like that u made those two characters kiss!!! i dont understand why u would make them kiss they barely interact on screen!!!!!" ok. uhhh i mean bc i like it. i like these two characters. idk

"i dont like these two characters shipped!!! you should ship that character with this character bc i think it is better/canon/makes more sense!!!!" ok?? both ships can exist at the same time tho. it doesnt necessarily mean one is better than the other. they both just. exist. bc ppl like to ship characters

"grrr!!!! how dare u insult my favourite ship! UR ship sucks, not mine!!!!!!! [insert above argument]!!!!!" ok ya man i get it. but also. ppl r allowed to dislike things. and ur life would be a lot more peaceful if u just cared a little less about whether people do or do not like something u like

and finally, the argument i find most fascinating...

"well ACTUALLY!! my ship is good and valid and the best because of THIS canon evidence!!!!" sure yes sure, theorize all u want. but frankly it just does not matter. bc u literally do not need an explanation for a ship besides "hehe i made the two characters i like kiss". it is not that serious

I was thinking about this the other day and wondering why it’s become so much less fun to write for BNHA and I think it’s because… I’ve written too much?

Like being a one-off author was fine and fun and novel and people were so cool and supportive, but now I’ve got multiple long fics and people have started treating me like someone that “creates content” rather than someone who is writing for fun. And I’ve shot myself in the foot by continuing to write long-fic and putting my heart and soul into them and it’s like never enough, people just expect more and more and more and I want to keep giving and keep doing better but no matter what I write it’s just not ENOUGH

And like… this started a little after I finished Zero Sum Game but like… people have started forming “opinions” that they share openly about “me” - I can’t stand going into fandom space and seeing people say they can’t read anything I write, or they don’t like me as an author, openly ranking my works, saying xyz is overrated or mention me by name in shipping discourse or send me hate mail or update requests or just straight up telling me they’re not going to read what I write anymore… and these people don’t know me!!! I’m just an empty space to them!!! Just a machine that pumps out thousands on thousands of words to just look at an forget about instantly!!!!!!!!

Where do people get off honestly. Is it like this everywhere or is it just BNHA? Is it because it’s so popular that the community has broken down completely? Sincerely what the fuck how can anyone treat writers like this…

see. okay. if I’m going to write lucifer torturing sam, and i’m going to take it seriously and not just get off on it, it’s important to me that the driving force isn’t lucifer being sadistic. playing with his food, so to speak, which is the way the show positions lucifer’s interactions with sam in the later seasons (when they’re written well, and not just. annoying.) but to me, it has to be about 1) in the same way that lucifer beat dean in swan song, that he reacts to losing control of a situation with violence and 2) that lucifer loves sam. he loves him, and wanted to give sam the world (burnt to a crisp), and sam threw him back in his prison and rejected him.

and of course, there’s the fact that lucifer is sam and sam is lucifer. when lucifer disobeyed, when he turned on God (who lucifer thinks loved him, whose relationship to lucifer is the entire basis for how lucifer approaches love,) lucifer was punished severely, locked away. and sam has disobeyed. and there is no one but lucifer who can punish him.

I probably think about the romanticism of consumption too much to be a healthy person. anyway. someone should date me. I promise I won't try to bite a part of you off or drink your blood or anything weird or gross =3
