Y'all... how am I only finding out abt the Neil Gaiman allegations because of the Good Omens fandom???

These have been out since JULY and I hadn't heard a peep about them until the GO fandom (of which I am part of) went nuts bc season 3 got shortened. Like... Okay? It's good that it's bringing more eyes on the whole thing, but maybe y'all should be more mad about the allegations of sexual assault against the author and not your show getting shortened?

I don't even know how to feel about this yet. I don't know if the accusations are true. I like to wait to form my opinions. HOWEVER, it might have been nice to actually know about this earlier, so I could form my opinions earlier. Accusations like this, against someone so famous should be spread. Especially if they don't seem to be false.

I'm pissed that I only learned about this because the fandom is throwing a fit over a shortened season. I get it, I truly do. I understand that it's upsetting, and I'm not mad at the ppl who express their disappointment about both. Yes the allegations are awful, and yes, they did ruin S3.

It's a really shitty situation, in all honestly. We'd all be disappointed no matter what. Getting a full S3 with NG attached: "Why would they keep him on?" Getting a rewritten 90min tv movie, sans NG: "Wish we could've gotten a full szn, but I'm glad NG isn't attached." Getting nothing at all: "Well I understand why they couldn't go ahead because of NG, but it still sucks."

Still, maybe some of y'all only focusing on GO should try to remember why we won't get a full s3.

sorry for posting shitty doodles i dont have anything else in me rn

Does anybody else get upset when they don't write, or feel worthless? I always want to apologise to the characters and myself for not writing. I feel worthless, honestly. When I was little I felt like I'd have a book published by the time I was 21 but now I'm 28 and I have Nothing.

And I feel as if my stories don't matter, or that I'm not meant to complete the Arthurian/Guinevere/Welsh myth story because somebody else will have done it already. Or, y'know, people don't want to read it. I just... I don't know.

What's crazy is that my brain can and does engage in research about Welsh mythology and Arthuriana, but I can't even open up my Google Docs without having a mental battle about it.

I'm just deflated, tired, and depressed.

Hello, a little rant here. I don't know whether people are becoming insensitive or I'm just taking things very seriously these times, but I beg of you, when I post about an update on the situation in Gaza, or about a lost life or any piece of news that is most likely horrifying and heartbreaking, do not repost or reblog with "yikes" or "real bullshit" or whatever goes in the same line. It just makes it seem so trivial when in fact it's world-shattering. Not to mention the horrible edits I see on Instagram/tiktok.

I literally came across an "Instagram reel" of my friend's UNCLE (who lost three of his kids, and was saying his goodbyes while they were in body bags), it was edited into a reel, with the effects and changing colors and the trending sound of the song "daylight by David kushner". I was speechless.

I know people show their solidarity differently, I know this. Especially through music, I've literally been listening to Samer songs as well as "Telk Qadieah", etc. But the edit I saw was way too much. I don't know how to explain it, because I've seen many reels of Palestinians in Gaza grieving and I thought it's important to share them but this one is different. It was like the edits you'd make for characters from a TV show or movie that died or had a sad storyline.

I don't know, maybe I'm overreacting but I genuinely feel like I'm going crazy. With everything going on and how it seems like some people are living in a parallel world rn.

I hope I don't get misunderstood, I'm not talking about the general clips with sometimes sad songs on them, I'm talking about certain edits the people started to make that are so weird and insensitive. Like the people they're editing aren't real, like they're some entertainment material.

Hot 4am take but I feel like if we want to get people more interested in making their yards a more habitable space for wildlife like insects, we have to acknowledge that ‘Don’t want bugs in your house’ is still a 100% fair and valid point of view. ‘Loves nature’ and ‘doesn’t want roaches spiders and mosquitoes in the house’ aren’t opposites.

And with that in mind, when we propose to people that spraying pesticides around houses is Not A Good Idea, Actually, I feel like we need to give an alternative asides from ‘deal with it.’

I make an effort to report the Pink Soup™ on the EA official forums, because yes I would like to play this game a few more years thank you very much, and someone comes to basically put all the blame on people who play with mods bc apparently that puts too much pressure on the game?

Damn, I didn't know someone knew the exact cause of the issue, should've told us sooner so we can all enjoy.

Smh.

just to be clear all of these are wincest. ngl it’s always been a bit funny to me how everyone in the wincest fandom is obsessed with evil sadist sam who hurts and rapes and uses dean without an iota of regret and pretty, crying, subby dean who just takes it all. it’s even funnier when you remember that in canon it’s sam who repeatedly offers to let dean take out his anger & violence on him and even urges him to hurt him, and that one of the key traits of dean’s character is his desire to control sam. he canonically stalked sam (not to mention the fact that he forcibly locked him up in the panic room) but canon simply doesn’t exist in this fandom lmao

btw there’s only 9 works tagged with evil!dean. and everyone keeps saying they’re “equally abusive”

okay ngl im kinda mad about that one post about labru cannibalism symbolism being racist or whatever. like its not. why does everyone keep acting like shipping labru or even enjoying kabru in any sort of way is racist or whatever this is literally so dumb. op literally said that he was south asian coded “but ohhh same thing applies” like well that just changes literally everything you brought up oh my godddd if you want more poc in media to be appreciated stop holding everything to the same boring ass fucking morally correct standard. let kabru be a little freaky abt it

“oh you only ship labru because you want laios or whatever you’re making kabru’s only trait as being obsessed with a white guy” 1. why would you assume that. are poc not allowed to be gay anymore. whatever. 2. its the other way i around i want kabru and i kin laios like i like laios but whatever. 3. also i think their relationship is interesting asf like even outside of shipping lr whatever

ofc theres racist dumbfucks out there but in general i think people should be a little bit more lax. like people are so scared of falling into stereotypes and stuff they’re terrified of even approaching making shit about poc. just fucking relaxxxx people oh my god

once again started reading this other fic of mine and can't stop thinking about it. it haunts me and i'm mad bc it's unfinished.

He left the bathroom then only to startle when he saw Pidge right outside.  She yelped at the sight of him.  He winced and grabbed at his head. “I didn't even hear you wake up!” she said. “Pidge, take it down a notch,” he whispered.  “My head…” “You have a headache?” she said, frowning.  “And yeah, I'm Pidge, nice to meet you.  Guess we didn't have time for introductions last night.”  She held out her hand and Keith shook it, feeling much like he was about to start laughing hysterically.  The edges of his lips twitched. “Yeah, Keith,” he managed.  He gestured at the door.  “If anyone asks, I'll be outside.” He moved past her without waiting for an answer, doing as he said and breathing in the cool dawn air.  And slowly, his head stopped feeling like it was going to burst. He took a moment to cup his hands around his mouth and called out, “Kosmo!” But his faithful companion did not appear.  He dropped his hands and closed his eyes, overwhelmed.  He stayed out there, and just thought about how he had awoken. What the fuck, he thought to himself, and opened his eyes.  It had been so long since he had last stepped foot on Earth.  The last time, he had stood very far down the beach from Lance's house, and had been completely unable to walk toward it.  How the fuck am I here?  He looked down at himself.  He was fully clothed in that which he wore in his teen years.  He laughed softly, removing his old jacket and staring at it.  It had been a very long time since he had last seen this jacket.  It really was as ridiculous as Lance had said all those years ago — Or, he supposed, as Lance would say.  Sometime in the future.  Because Keith had woken up in the past again.  Still?  Fuck, his head hurt. “Keith.” Keith turned, and his eyes fell on Shiro.  Fuck, he looked so young.  Keith was not used to it.  He still had most of his black hair.  Fuck.  Keith was not sure how he was going to handle this. But as Shiro came to stand by him, silent and contemplative, Keith decided he would handle it just like this.  Quietly.  At least until he could accept this reality or … whatever. “You seem different,” Shiro said quietly. “Tell me about it,” Keith replied.  Shiro tentatively went in for a hug, and Keith threw himself into it.  It had been a few months since he last saw his brother.  But Keith realized that for this Shiro, it had been much longer.  Shiro relaxed slightly, squeezing him tight, and Keith patted him on the back. “Welcome back,” Keith said. “It's good to be back,” Shiro said. Keith was not sure he could say the same. Soon, Keith found himself back inside his old shack, and it seemed that the others had awoken in his absence and uncovered his research on the Blue Lion's energy. “Blue,” he whispered, looking at the cave drawings of her.  It was Allura's Lion.  Lance's lion.  The others turned to him, odd expressions on their faces. “What is all this?” Lance asked, and the way he talked startled Keith.  His voice was so different, not just young, but wary and without any sort of personal connection.  Keith looked at him, recalling their last conversation.  Lance's answer to his question.  And when Lance looked back, there was no familiar warmth in his face.  And Keith suddenly realized there was something else different.  Because Lance's eyes were supposed to be blue.

I'll either succeed or I'll learn trying

You know what, while I'm doing hot takes. And this one may be obvious considering I'm actively contributing to hosting the Solarpunk Aesthetic Week event but like.

Dear everyone who's constantly deriding the aesthetic portions of the solarpunk movement/genre; do you just not understand that being able to visualize the future you want is immensely important to being able to work towards it? Being able to get other people on board with it?

When I first got interested in Solarpunk, it wasn't for the hot leftist takes about the top ways to dismantle the government for the people, or top tips on how to build your own solar panel apparatuses. What brought me in? Visions of a hopeful future. I learned and began to love the rest as I dove deeper into solarpunk circles, but there is no denying that my first intro to it--and likely many people's first intro to it--was via the art and aesthetic spheres. The term 'solarpunk' was literally coined to refer to the aesthetic movement, and we've been building up from there ever since.

'When are people going to realize the aesthetic parts don't matter and what really matters is praxis--' dude, the aesthetic parts do matter. Inspiring people does matter. Showing people visions of a hopeful future is immensely important, it's why so many people join this movement. We see glimpses of what a hopeful future could look like, through beautiful art or riveting stories, we're inspired by things like stained glass and organic designs and statues and fashion concepts--and then we think to ourselves 'how can we help make this future happen?' And we learn the praxis and we work towards the goals and we share it with others because that's just how we work.

Seeing isn't always believing, but sometimes in order to believe in something with your whole heart, it helps to be able to visualize what you want. For yourself and for others.

So yes. The aesthetic parts of solarpunk do matter. Thank you for coming to my TEDTalk.
