Seeing an RP blog go "if you reblog an ask game, maybe we should start sending an interaction" and like

THAT WAS COMMON COURTESY IN MY DAY, YA DAMN KIDS!! DON'T REBLOG AN ASK GAME IF YOU DON'T PARTICIPATE WAS A WAR FOUGHT IN THE TRENCHES OF THE SQUARENIX RP SPHERES IN 2015

@godtier1

no nuance option for well sort of kind of we’re friendly!!!!! make your own call on what you define friend as

the phenomenon of older ships consistently losing fandom polls to newer ships despite there being little indication of support for the newer ship in the reblog tags of the poll is indicative of new fandom's tendency to be passive consumers moving from thing to thing rather than active participants giving a fandom longevity in this essay I will---

That moment when you have to completely stop using Google docs for your writing because the AI spellchecker is actively, insistently wrong, when it catches things at all

Anyway here's me crawling back to LibreOffice and Scrivener like the disloyal hussy I am

[conceptofjoy]

Why do ppl call it "dead dove content" when "dead dove: do not eat" just means "Check the tags for warnings." In fact why does it exist at all? When did people stop looking at the tags to determine whether they want to read something or not? Why not just use "darkfic" and "hurt no comfort" and "whump" and "angst" alongside other specific warning tags that apply to the work? Since you're already doing it anyway? Why are we reminding people to check the tags all the time? If a reader fails to check an adequately tagged work, that's on them. It's like some kind of shift happened when I wasn't looking. I'm not like.. a fandom founder or anything what Happened when did it become an indicator meaning "this is not your mommy's fluff fic"

I just woke up to our chickens screaming, about an hour after we had fallen asleep. A raccoon somehow made a hole into their coop. We were too late. Our favorite girl Bea was killed. (She would always follow us around the yard, like a puppy.) I will miss her dearly. I am so heartbroken. Give your animals an extra tight hug for me tonight.

Just saw a tiktok with a young woman demanding that people publish more non-spicy books, and I'm like gurl. If you're in the romance section of the store/library, that's the ENTIRE POINT of that genre. If you want something non-spicy, walk over to another section. There's SO FUCKING MUCH fantasy and sci fi westerns and horror that have romantic sub plots and zero smut. You want to read romance with less spice? Look for older books. There were already thousands and thousands of romances published before you were born that have zero to mild spice, and you can still find them in libraries. Look for the Harlequin label, they'll feed you.

And QUIT READING THE RECS FROM THE SPICY SIDE OF BOOKTOK. Fuck's sake, if the books they're recommending are not to your taste, then STOP READING THEIR RECOMMENDATIONS. Start exploring other genres and make your own fucking rec lists you goddamn whiny baby.

Questions 3, 9 and 22 for Danny :)

*rubs my grubby little hands together*

3. Least favourite canon thing about this character?

Okay, so my boy has a pretty solid canon, what little we have of it. But I do have a quibble. Sneaky sneak stealth man wears very strong cologne? I know it's to make people go "Huh, what's that smell?" but it just feels weird. (Also more lore plz.)

9. Could you be roommates with this character?

Given that most of the being roommates experience with me is just occasionally seeing me in the kitchen otherwise I'm just hiding in my room all the time, I feel like this is a yes. Although I may get murdered as I would be in the kitchen at 5am getting snacks when Danny comes back in post-murder.

22. If you're a fic reader, what's something you like in fics when it comes to this character? Something you don't like?

His dick. I kid. Him actually being examined as a character based on his lore. This terrible gremlin man has a really fun personality through what we have and it seems like a shame to disregard it for Generic Sexy Slasher Man.

What I dislike, as someone who remembers the 90's, is when people don't bother to check when certain things were invented and popularised. Like DVDs. And AOL messenger. Those were like a decade later, it makes me feel so old when you think those were around in 1993.

Finished my first crochet project— a cat hat (I definitely botched it lol)! They are not amused.
