#stop clutching your pearls

[hadesismybaby]

I'm enjoying this Crow remake discourse.

People are acting so precious about the original, this movie is not back to the future and we had terrible remakes. Bill Skarsgard won't tarnish Brandon Lee's version. It will likely bring a new generation to watch it.

Second most talked point is Bill's look, comparing him with Jared Leto Joker. I can see why people are making the comparison, both are white tattoed man with abs. The end.

Let's be critical here, the 90s version looked like a rockstar from the era, you can't tell me older people didn't think the look was cringe. Same goes from 2024 version, he looks like a rockstar from today, you may not like it but it does, and what the Leto's Joker was based on.

As for the actual movie, I don't know if it's good or bad, but it it's but isn't because the original is untouchable or because the new version has Pinterest tattoos on

I really do love mcc but it's definitely gotten pretty uncomfortable and toxic the longer it's gone on. nobody truly plays for fun anymore except for maybe the simmers. and yeah there's always mid to lower ranking teams that say they are but they aren't actually playing for fun. they want to win and get upset with good ranking teams and players. I think the community is part of this. all the ranking and analyzation puts pressure on lower ranking previously for fun players to constantly need to improve and get upset with them when they aren't trying to win. I missing joking around during it. I miss the memes and everyone trying to have a good time. I think there's this suffocating "niceness" culture where everyone resents eachother and yet tries so hard to be polite. you can't even joke around and say you hate another player. you can't have a rivalry. you must be just in the right place between not caring to win and being too aggressive. to the point that no one has fun.

Pulling out my hair over seeing anything cool ever I need to be CONTAINED.

good for them i guess i was reading 1D novels on facebook about being sold to them and getting pregnant the day after having sex for the 1st time

Build an audience.

Raise prices.

There's enough that stay for the price increase to only result in profit.

Repeat for several decades

Now only rich people pay for the product and the company is making bank, while you are kept from art on the premise of being poor.

You. Should. Cancel. Every. Subscription.

Pirate. Because art is never for the rich. It is for all. As it stands, you're enabling yourself to never see any again. If not you, your children and their children.

Do not trust companies. Do not give them any BoD. Do not enable or defend companies. They have a team for that, that they substantially underpay.

you know this is *insert problematic element* here, right? you know they’re *insert problematic ship’s familial relation to each other here* right?? why would you *insert something you could give less of a fuck about bc it’s fiction* when you could *blah blah milquetoast substitute here*? are you a *insert disgusting accusation of sexual criminality in real life over fictional blorbos in their fictional little situations here*?

Someone: Kink belongs at pride because its community tends to overlap a lot with the rainbow community, and has a long history with us

Some rando: But but but!!! What about!! The poor innocent wittle sex repulsed asexuals!! Don't you know they'll explode if they see even a nipple!? Or the minors!! Think of the kids! It'd be so traumatizing for a minor to be exposed to someone's display of kink!!! Don't you know that kids are completely incapable of understanding sex and sexuality!?

Me, a sex repulsed asexual who has many kinks, some of which are special interests/hyperfixations and/or explicitly sexual, and who developed these kinks as young as 12 years old: Did y'all hear something?

[iridescene]

It's been annoying me so I'll just come out and say it: why is it that all the people who think Skirk needs a redesign are those with the worst art styles ever.

hi can I just say that it's really cool that your reader characters usually have some sexual experience??? I get a little sick from all the first time fics out there, and it's really cool to see your fics where the female characters are already experienced and more or less knowledgeable of their stuff in bed! anyway, thanks for your lovely writing, mwah!

aww thanks! and yea, I'm in my 30's and i haven't been a virgin for a while, haha, and I feel a little left out in a sea of fics abt younger characters having their first time with the love of their lives whom they'll be married to somewhere down the line... like, I want my fics to be more realistic, y'know?

sexually experienced people can have a better grasp of what they are and aren't into, be less hindered by the whole "new experience" nervousness and ~take the lead~ at times, which is something most fandoms lack in fic, which is a crime imo.

plus, the fics i make are hella kinky most of the time, and let me tell you, being a still clumsy inexperienced person probably does not factor well in... idk, bondage and what not. You shouldn't run before you can walk, ya feel me?

and then there's the whole pedestal on which people put virginity on, which in my opinion should be burned to the ground. Very few people lose their virg- actually, i hate this term, scratch that. Very few people get their first sexual experience with the love of their life, and even fewer of them have a fireworks in the sky, orgasm city situation when they do. A lot of them don't even orgasm at all due to pressure/nervousness.

also I like to project on my OCs and we need more sex-loving, horny female characters. I'm sick of the whole twilight/50 shades/etc. standard of "oh, sex?" *giggle* "why sir, I've never even touched myself" bullshit. Shut up. We didn't go through a whole feminist sexual revolution the past few decades for a bunch of stupid-ass writers to reinvent the cult of female purity all over again.

I lost track of the original topic... ah, yeah, the fics. I'm glad you like them! Thanks for the ask, and you can expect more horny reader OC-driven plots soon! <3

possessed percy's kinda... i mean he's kinda just i mean he has a way with i mean he's i mean

[liebe-ist-musik]

The purity police is strong in the Rammstein fandom

[heatwa-ves]

thinking about when montero (the lil nas song) came out I was like idk near the end of hs I don't remember exactly but yeah I was in hs and it was a religious girls school so you can imagine how scandalised everyone was acting and people being like omg so gross keep that to yourself etc and I was like . closeted gay right and also significantly more left than anyone else in my school and they were all soooo shocked and disgusted I was like.huh that music video is pretty cool.

[deadheaddaisy]

WTF. FWB is a fun thing, if you're having fun. There is nothing wrong with consensual friendly fucking!

??? why are “friends with benefits” now considered a cringe straight people thing???? friends can fuck. it’s literally fine

[lovelyrotter]

fellow fictives my babes my darlings i am BEGGING YOU to stop tagging your very personal stuff with ships relating to your fictive-shape and then start talking about whether or not you ''condone'' these ships entirely purely based on your personal comfort as if youre talking about law. do what you want with your own irl body and relationships. you are not part of shipping. you are a real person. i am BEGGING YOU PERSONALLY to not partake in the crossing of these lines

Kento was often quiet, but, swirling his whiskey over dinner, his silence hung heavy with words unspoken. You looked up at him, reading, shrewd.

"...what's up?"

"Hm? Ah, nothing."

"Uh-uh. Out with it, Kento."

Kento put his fork down, his brows furrowing. He plaited his fingers in front of his chin, resting on them.

"Would you...be upset if I had a work wife?"

You chewed, hmmm-ing aloud.

"Well, that depends. Do you think she actually has romantic feelings for you?"

"...no."

"If you talk about me, is she ever disrespectful? Like she wants to replace me?"

"Not at all."

"Do you like her?"

"...yes. She's a good woman."

"Oh, okay. Does she give you secret blowjobs in the storecupboards?"

Kento was aghast, mute with outrage, one hand pressing to his chest, pearl-clutching. You laughed into your pasta.

"Calm down, precious. That's a no then." You put your fork down, taking his hand from his chest, and swirling your fingertips on his palm.

"Then, I'm fine with it. I trust you to put a stop to things if they become suggestive. I know you're obsessed with me, and I know she hasn't got a chance even if she tried anything. Okay?"

Kento still pondered, his skin prickling, his food untouched, and you continued.

"Most importantly, are you upset with it?"

"Yes." He burst out, stabbing his pasta. "It's...disrespectful. Unprofessional. I have one wife, and that's the way I want it to be."

"Then, there's your answer. So stop worrying, eat your dinner, and tell her in the morning."

You continued eating. You felt Kento's eyes on you, calloused warm fingertips stroking your inner wrist, trailing suggestively up your forearm, and your smile grew as you chewed.

"...stop staring at me, Kento."

"No. You're lovely."

Around mid-morning the next day, you received a text...and another, and another...and anotheranotheranother, your phone blowing up in your pocket.

"Jesus--alright--give me a minute." You said aloud to nobody in particular, putting your tea down.

You opened your phone to a slew of messages from Gojo, and read them with a growing smile.

Shoko is so upset

Nanamin doesn't want to be her work husband

This is fine for me because I need a work wife and she kept saying no to me

So tyvm

She's my wife now

As you laughed, reaching for your tea again, your phone began to ring; Kento. You answered.

"Hey, lov--"

"Is Gojo texting you?"

Your phone buzzed again, blowing up against your ear, and you snorted with laughter.

"Kento, save her. Save Shoko. You have a duty. Be a good work husband."

"--but I don't want another wife--"

"--and you'd sentence her to Gojo? Kento. She's my best friend."

Silence. A huff. Kento hung up as you laughed. Tapping your phone against your thigh, and biting your lip, you tapped out a message to Shoko.

He's all yours. Make sure he takes a lunch break. He likes the pastries in the cafeteria on Tuesdays but never manages to get one, help him out. If he's grumpy he's probably just hungry. Force him home on time. Good luck.

I think letting loose and surrounding myself with freaky queers as opposed to people who clutch pearls over a furry with tummy nips is genuinely so awesome and I needed this. you should stop being friends with people who police you or your art or just straight up puritans over sexuality and kinks.
