#so many grumbles

Sometimes I feel a bit too much like an animal. Like I’ll be scrolling on my communicator in bed and just make a noise depending on what I’m looking at. Usually it’s super random.

I don’t know it’s just something I noticed now because Lance is dead sleep on my shoulder and I almost woke him up by making a sound.

"all men are evil" is radfem/terf rhetoric, but clarifying "all cis men" because you want to signal that you're not transphobic doesn't work because it's still deeply rooted in radfem beliefs. It's saying you believe there's something inherently evil in being born/assigned "male", and you carry it over in how you treat ppl who transition in or out of that gender. "All cis men are evil", is gender essentialist and you can't get around that.

Fucking tired of ppl who think their terf soundbites with a fresh coat of paint are sooo progressive

We were so close to smoking not being cool anymore. We were so close. Then they flavored it mango and now it's taboo to criticize it anymore. People don't ask if they're allowed to vape indoors, they aren't considerate of people who may have health problems that are triggered by the chemicals or if it just bothers them, people don't care that they're supporting an industry built on corruption and greed, they can't see it draining their pockets and much less their health. We were so close to smoking not being cool anymore.

going to look at houses with one of the boys because yall need a bigger one with more rooms now that ale and rudy have officially joined the polycule and the agent is really working the kids angle for "you and your... husband?" and ofc it's johnny who goes with you and he's feeding into it by only referring to them as "the boys" that by the time you've settled on a house and you get the agent to do one last viewing so they can all come see, her head fucking explodes first when she sees "the boys" and again after they all take their turns giving you and johnny your initial smooches, and the smile on johnny's face tells you this couldn't have played out as perfectly even in his dreams

we can never have an actual conversation about the bad parts of Booktok (racism, evil capitalist publishers, etc) because everyone is too busy throwing a fit over erotica, women liking things, and grieving the supposed Fall of books as a beacon of being intellectual. And gate-keeping reading for your, idk, dark academic aesthetic when the entire world is in a massive literacy crisis.

Half the "Booktok destroyed books" tweets I see are from non-readers, from random white supremacist accounts, from people that think the literary section of bookstores stopped existing ("i wish when books had meaning >:("), from non-romance readers who see trope maps as evil when tropes /are/ the story in most genre romance books.

I'm not an erotica or even a genre romance author so this has nothing to do with me but I'm really sick of thinly veiled misogyny and the virtrol that romance (even cringy and horny) books get. There are a billion issues in publishing and with book communities, but everyone is just looking for an easy target that they can bully

Don't know if anyone here needs or wants to hear it, but really, from someone who's been born into Putin's reign and is still living it. Life doesn't end there. Dystopia doesn't knock on your door the next day after inauguration.

No, it's not gonna be all sunshine and rainbows, and they most likely will try to make it worse, but shit like this isn't done in mere seconds. I might not understand it fully, because for me elections never have been "the time to decide", but please, try not to let the panicking consume you. Take care of yourself. Form communities and networks. This is the shit we lacked and now it's borderline impossible to organize on lower levels here (people still do it. people still fight for other people.)

This is not the end of the world, and if you keep going, it won't be the end of the world tomorrow, in a month and in a year too.

Also please remember that they all are old as fuck and you have big chances to outlive them. Don't lessen your chances by neglecting yourself and your community.

Sincerely, your fucking Russian that is very much living the "dark future" some of you are panicking about. Key word is living. And others are too. Helping people avoid being sent to war, helping people avoid being deported, helping women escape all kinds of abuse. Distributing food and protecting animals they are trying to kill. Fighting against ruining environment. Keeping extincting languages of some minorities alive.

We are living. You'll live too. You have it in you to stand together. I absolutely believe in you.

jaykyle au where they're theatre kids in the same school but they're not the actors jason's the scriptwriter/director and kyle is the prop manager (i don't know the official terms sorry) and they'd probably do an amazing job on the backstage setting if they could stop arguing for 5 whole seconds about their artistic visions and ideas and how "this would obviously work better this way"

Brotherhood Headcanon (rapunzel series)

my original Headcanon for the brotherhood logo is that Adira, Hector and Quirin wanted to draw something INSIDE the circle

but they couldn’t think of what

so then hector got mad and scratched the logo they were designing bc rage™

But Adira and Quirin saw it and were like chill with it bc it looks badass

So they presented it to Edmund

And the badass brotherhood logo was born ✨✨

Then they got mind controlled….

supernatural s9e8 rock and a hard place / s11e4 baby

the elusive D nickname?? i was in the s9 episode for the comfort exchange for gifs and ended up here instead and did a double take when sam answered the phone. so i went and checked the superwiki nicknames page which linked to a thing saying it's in 11x04 as well, so there we go. i was listening for it when i watched but both of these definitely slipped past my notice

not breaking news i'm sure, but as someone who has read it in fic a lot and always wondered if padalecki ever actually used it, well. with earbuds and the volume cranked up, hearing an "n" or not is something i can't say with total certainty but i am >90% :p ish.
