Sometimes the way people talk about missing social cues is so over the top 😭 people will really say stuff like "how can someone live such a soulless joyless existence that they don't understand my joke" and "if you don't laugh at this are you even human" and "I can't imagine being such a miserable asshole that you think this is serious" and "how stupid do you have to be to fall for this 💀" and on and on like. I promise autism isn't a moral failing

ngl one of my biggest pet peeves in media is when they acknowledge in universe that a character should logically have a concussion, and yet they don't.

Knocking someone out, having them wake up four hours later, and then having them be perfectly fine? Horrendously inaccurate to how head injuries work, but fine whatever it's a trope and if it's used in a genre that isn't trying to hold to realism anyway (like an action movie, fantasy story, etc), I am willing to suspend my disbelief. I don't like it, but I can accept it as a narrative tool.

Knocking someone out, having them wake up four hours later, having someone say that that character has a concussion, and then having the audacity as the writer to have said character be completely unaffected by the head trauma? Do not pass Go do not collect 200 dollars go directly to jail.

I adore reading your rambling tags, don't stop posting things there 😩

Don't you worry. I think I might be incapable of stopping idk what happened I never used to tag ramble

[separatist-apologist]

Love the Nesta and Azriel fic! Would you consider using your literacy talents to bring us an Elain x Rhys cheating trope!? Too controversial?

You know- it's so tempting but if you saw the general messages I get when people remember I like Nesta or for just minding my own business while writing/shipping Elucien, you 100% would understand why I won't touch this with a ten foot pole.

im new here- is dean abusive?

imo yeah. smarter people than me have written dissections of the way he treats sam & others (he’s also Awful to his psuedo-son jack, but i haven’t gotten to that season yet), i’ve probably reblogged a bunch of them.

he certainly doesn’t mean to be & i don’t say it to condemn him as a person or as a character & i’m still very attached to him & he loves sam very much (not that that makes a difference in whether u abuse someone or not) - but the way he treats sam a lot/some of the time is emotionally abusive and sam is clearly badly impacted. s4 and s8 come to mind as his worst moments also ofc moc era - after that there’s less interpersonal conflict (up to where i am at least) but that’s because sam mostly stops disagreeing with dean not because dean actually gets much better <3 spn is cycles of abuse show after all. family is hell. dean’s learnt pretty much everything about how to behave from his abusive father and as a result. well. cycle continues

The more I think about it the more I really feel like the recently coined term mesosex might fit me and it's been shared by several intersex education/advocacy blogs I follow now so I know there's support for the term but I'm still like. Scared I would be Intruding™ on intersex issues if I started using it. Like I mean. I'm an afab & (afaik) perisex person with a reproductive disorder that's likely caused by a (non-intersex) hormone imbalance which I'm now essentially having to take feminizing HRT to fix, and as a result I'm now growing tits and undergoing female-pattern fat redistribution at the age of 25 after years of having little to no secondary sex characteristics. I've always identified with intersex issues but now that I'm essentially having to undergo HRT to make my body match my asab that connection to intersex issues feels even stronger. And like that's what the term is for. But my anxiety is still like "but what if you're intruding tho" lol 🙃

I keep trying to write an update and then being embarrassed about it and feeling like I’m trauma dumping on people by updating and I just..I know it’s on me to manage my crap, I know. I am trying (not very well but I’m trying) and it’s just…I don’t know. I don’t even know.

MGSV really is *so* misogynistic it is honestly hard to believe. It has ONE named female character, just one. And holy shit, the things they make that single woman do.

I don't know what happened. Or how Kojima thought what we was doing was defensible.

I could just link to the introduction of the SKULL snipers from Mission 28 Code Talker but even that I feel is so unbelievable to see with your own eyes that it would exit the mind as soon as it stopped playing.

Literally every criticism made during that era toward's this game is accurate. Every single one.

It might legit be the WORST example of "male gaze," literally literally ever. Out of everything.

If MGSV had outright no women in it whatsoever it would be better than what this is.

The cutscene for when Big Boss comes to Mother Base after not showering was what sealed it for me.

And the fact that there were people back then who thought they could defend this perhaps makes it even more deranged.

[liferetainsitssparkle]

finally bit the bullet and started reading wolfsong and im about a hundred pages into it atm and im not sure how i feel about it, honestly. like this is certainly a book about things. with people in it.

[asgardian--angels]

i finally watched Alien (and Aliens, the sequel), and idk why it took me 29 years of being on this earth to get around to it because I love the titular Alien and i love its wittle pharyngeal jaws

[deoidesign]

About you lover or hater response: That last paragraph made me Feel Stuff, its so well worded. But I think it wouldnt have that much weight behind it without the rest of your post before it. But then again Damn those sure are some beatiful words!!

And idk if youd like reading this from some random tumblr user but in case it means anything to you, from someone trying their hardest to be a lover at any possible turn to another: your work makes the world a better place. How i hope everyone would try to do so as well.

Have a good day!!

In the midst of all the silliness I do want to take a moment to say thank you for this. To be 100% honest this is what it's all about for me.

The whole point is random tumblr users. Random people. Making one person's life even marginally better is the whole point of telling stories, for me! I would move heaven and earth to ensure that you, a random tumblr user, gets to have something that makes you a little bit happier.

So, thank you. It means a lot to me.

You have a good day too. I love you!

you should see the radical version -> 犭doggy snoozing peacefully

[bedforddanes75]

my issue with terminology discourse isnt that i think everyone's stupid and sensitive it's that literally nobody explains the meanings of things and then get pissy when people dont know what things mean

im actually so obsessed with the way audio is stylised in the grotto. it gives the podcast so much personality and is just a very creative use of the medium
