#love you awesome nerds

[nevvaraven]

It takes a lot of for me to tell someone that I love them,

unless you’re a marauders fic writer or a girl in the bathroom of a club at 2am, in which case I will confess my love to you and offer to kill for you within 20 seconds of meeting

sometimes I think about how as a subculture we just normalised giving a story as a present. hi happy christmas, I remembered you like it with yearn. I put in that dildo you like. I hope it's perfect. I wanted it to be perfect.

Eldritch/not-entirely-human Grunkle Stan stories have been eating away at my brain, so I have a silly little concept of Mimic!Stan.

He and his Mystery Shack are both mimics that lure tourists in as a literal "tourist trap" to gather and devour them! Since the house is alive, it raises a few (read: several) child safety concerns that lead to a LOT of rules to be created for Dipper and Mabel to follow when they eventually arrive, such as:

Be careful not to get lost in the winding hallways! The Mystery Shack is bigger on the inside, and you don't want to end up in the wrong areas.

Don't go through randomly appearing doors, they may eat you.

If you think you feel the walls around you breathing and the floor beneath you shifting, no, you don't.

If you think the walls feel a bit damp, you're imagining it.

Watch your fingers around windowsills! You wouldn't want to lose any of them.

Don't linger too long under the doorframes; it may start feeling like they are slowly constricting around you.

what kind of frivolity would you engage in, mecha?

I just love that there's a little community of us who are obsessed with a pair of two singing and dancing sapphics from a film series that started over a decade ago. The power of fandom is incredible.

Complaining abt Suicide Squad yet again but the fact that they have Waller exposing the alien community to space racist attacks and talking abt how she got to her position through deceit and being a terrible person and stuff is just. Ahsfiwueh JUST SAY YOU DONT KNOW WALLER.

Anyways literally the 3rd mission of the Squad ever (and the first framed as smth Waller picked and not orders from above) was the Squad discrediting and stopping a rogue vigilante who was only arresting POC and funneling white people into white supremacy groups (of which he was the most prominent member) in SUICIDE SQUAD #4. and it's explicitly framed as this mission being personal for Waller that she's hiding from the government bc its illegal like. Guys. Please why are we having her incite (space bc comics) racist attacks now

Also the whole "Amanda got her position through deceit and being a terrible person" NO. she KEPT her position through being shitty and playing complicated political games!!! She wasn't always that way like there is a difference and it is IMPORTANT ppl PLEASEEEE. In Secret Origins #14 we learn Amanda's backstory and she used to be a normal, caring person! Like even after she entered into working in government and politics she wasn't automatically morally bankrupt like please people. She was originally given control of the Squad by Reagan (*sigh* 80s comics...) to distract and get rid of her because she was so successful at pushing progressive social policy in Congress. Acting like she's this static pillar of evil is such a waste of her character and so fucking uninteresting and disrespectful to her arc it drives me MAD.

Like I am NOT saying Waller is all sunshine and rainbows, she fucking SUCKS (said w love <3) but like there's a human being there. It's a progression, she has a character arc like please, DC, please!!! They've fucked up Waller so bad and made her so opaque and uninteresting she can't even be the protagonist of her own story for fucks sake!

Like I don't know how many times I have to scream it until DC hears me or remembers but WALLER IS THE MAIN CHARACTER OF SUICIDE SQUAD. ITS HER BOOK. yet right now she's a cutout to be used as the villain wherever the writers please. Even in her book we get none of her perspective really displayed, no exploration of her thoughts with any kind of understanding of the role she traditionally has played and was made to play in the story.

Your girl is getting married in less than a week!!! 💙💙

I’m going to try my darnedest to answer a few more asks before I disappear for a few days to marry my best friend and party with our family, but I can make no promises because Wedding Week 😎💞

That being said: I love y’all, and I’m so happy to call this amazing corner of the fandom home 🥰 I wish all you clone loving nerds could come party with us, but I’ll have you in my heart!

The Seventh Queuester will be up and running as always, so there will be no shortage of Fox Clone Wars content in my absence 😎

Be excellent to each other, and I’ll see y’all on September 14th!

Cheers,

Sev 💙💙

I think that part of what like. kills me about the whole media literacy and critical thinking aspect of enjoying media these days is that people refuse to like. contextualize that

A. Bad media can still hold significant meaning to people

B. Media made for a demographic you aren’t apart of is not inherently bad media

C. Media made for and consumed by the opposite demographic is not inherently shallow or flawed nor is it above criticism for its media tropes either.

Send me asks introducing yourself and your blog?

I remember one of the most discouraging things for me when I was new on Tumblr, was feeling like all my posts were just sailing off into the void to be seen by nobody. And if anyone reading this feels like that, I’d like to help if I can.

I have some extra time this weekend, and I’m going to use some of that time to keep a closer eye on my Tumblr inbox. So if you send me an ask that introduces yourself and tells me a bit about your blog here on Tumblr, I would be more than happy to follow you and respond to your ask so people following my blog can see your introduction too.

Oh, and while it’s not a requirement, if you’d like to tell me in your ask why you chose to follow my blog, I’d consider that an awesome bonus!

Anybody interested?

P.S. If we’re already mutuals and you’d like some added exposure, you can still send me an ask introducing yourself and I’ll be more than happy to say hi again! 😁

AHHHHH look what I got for Christmas!

I love you Good Omens fandom! I dearly wish you all are having the kind of day you wanted to have, whatever that looks like for you.

After took two weeks of ADHD self-sabbotage, I finally wrote the massive article I've been agonizing over for work (I wrote the entire thing in one sitting). I'm actually really happy with it, and it will never cease to amaze me how good of a writer I am when my brain actually cooperates with me.

Supercorptober was the first time I’ve ever participated in a fandom event, and it was so much fun! I may not have been able to post every day, but lemme tell you, I have enough WIPs to last me at least a year now! (Probably longer because I’m both a procrastinator and a perfectionist). Lol

Also, I’ve really enjoyed reading everyone’s fics and seeing everyone’s art! Y’all are a ridiculously talented bunch! Thank you for reminding me to make the time for myself I need to be creative and do things that make me happy :)
