Melisa and Leip are seeping into my brain and I'm losing focus on my own OCs digimon partners so I just need to throw this out.

I will never talk about this again. Goodbye 👋🏼.

I can behave normally around books

#shitpost #anyway guess who brought home 24 new books today?#if you guessed me. well. you would be correct #in my defense I only bought 5 #for a combined total of usd #where’d the number go. it was 17 usd #the rest were from me going through what my dad was getting rid of for space and claiming it for myself #but either way #24 in one day is a personal record I think #also I do fully intend to read all of these it’s not hoarding for hoardings sake

Here’s my take on the whole audio books vs. reading:

Oral tradition of storytelling predates written ones by millennias, and honestly, which one you like is just a personal preference.

The actual difference is

when listening, you have no idea how to write characters’ names

when reading, you have no idea how to pronounce characters’ names

hope this helps!

#audio books vs reading #honestly this debate is just pineapple on pizza again #personally i like reading better #i’m a poor listener and since i read faster than people talk i get bored and my mind starts to wander #but who gives a shit #just do what works best for you #in the end we all get the same story #oh and this post is about stories in english #in finnish you rarely have either problem

hypothetical scenario for you all: the real king arthur returns. you meet him and you welcome him into your home. what is the first thing you do with him? keep in mind, this is a man from the 500s (he died in 542), and you are from the 21st century (2024).

#most chaotic answer gets a follow and reblog from me #me personally?#i would force him to watch bbc merlin and get him to read merthur fanfics #i'm so sorry for this... however #i'm just a girl #bbc merlin #merlin #bbc #bbcm #bbc's merlin #merlin bbc #king arthur #arthur pendragon #arthuriana #summoning all the arthuriana fans #regardless of what adaptation you are a fan because of #update 02/08: this has now been closed

Disclaimer these are just a small sampling of some possible writer traits I’ve noticed either in myself or in fics I read. Also consider a rb for sample size !

#I literally do all of these but mostly abuse of metaphor and specific descriptors and run on dialogue with no staging #writing #writers on tumblr #polls #I chose abuse of a metaphor you like because I think that’s probably my biggest #but also literally ‘you guys are getting beta readers?’ because I’ve NEVER ONCE had someone beta read for me #I like. proofread. sometimes #if you’re lucky #lol #but I’m curious what you guys do lol

are we still doing this because i have a late submission

#🐉#this is less about fan content and more about that awful lazy one size fits all #'10 years later theyre happily married with a cute little nuclear family' trope #because ive read some genuinely incredible fics about characters who would Not fucking have kids #ending up with accidental pregnancy scares or child acquisitions that get treated with all the nuance #and thoughtful handling they deserve #but also. i reread one of my favourite fics yesterday and when one character jokingly brought up the idea of children #and the other reacted with genuine visceral disgust and said what hideously awful parents theyd be #i lit up like a fucking christmas tree

Personally I think that Azula should have been redeemed simply so that she can become Zuko's horrible little advisor who whispers evil little plans to him so that he can do the exact opposite

#the only reason she gets this job is bc he doesnt trust her anywhere else in the palace #its like enrichment for manipulative girls #also so that he can set her on asshole deligates like a rabid little lapdog #she just has mean fuckin pomeranian energy that thing bites then lights you on fire w flames so hot theyre cold #i think their sibling dynamic could be sooo fucking funny its insane #azula #azula atla #atla #avatar the last airbender #zuko #atla zuko #firelord zuko #DISCLAIMER I AM YET TO READ THE COMICS SO IDK WHAT HAPPENS TO HER IN THEM #also long overdue for a rewatch of the show its insane

I remember discussing Tintin casting choices with a friend from Germany and remarked how it was odd he often has an English accent in adaptations rather than a Belgian one, and my friend just replied "that's because Tintin gives incredibly strong English boy energy (derogatory)"

Here in the UK there's a lot of weird classism tied into accents. Today accent diversity and representation in broadcasting is actively pursued but in Tintin's time there certainly was a preferred accent to have.

imagine this exchange happens between pages 28-29 in The Crab with the Golden Claws

#tintin #adventures of tintin #comic #captain haddock #archibald haddock #snowy #milou #fanart #the crab with the golden claws #i remember tintin crafting a trumpet to communicate with an elephant #and he remarks he must get the accent correct #very odd scenario but it shows he would be a stickler for that sort of thing #i also have to say accents do not indicate how smart someone is #a lot of pundits use an english accent to sound more credible #but i have to say there are a lot of fucking idiots here #me included #thank you 2011 film for validating my scottish haddock headcanon #any french speakers who have read to this point i wonder what your hcs are for his french speaking accent

Genuinely, what happened to “feminism is for everyone”?

That’s the feminism I grew up with: encouraging people to recognize that fighting sexism and restrictive gender roles helps folks of every gender. We’d push back on the idea that feminists hate men, pointing to inclusive feminist literature and how many men are feminists.

Now, there are so many people insisting that the solution to patriarchy is to openly hate and ostracize men no matter what. Why? What is the benefit? It’s certainly not effective in fighting oppressive structures to exclude half the population from your cause on the basis of immutable traits. It may feel cathartic to say horrible things about men and try to punish them for your frustrations with patriarchy. But the only actual effect I see is the increasing right-wing radicalization of young men, who are being told that the left hates them for the way they were born and presented with an abundance of proof that it’s true.

Why are we going back to treating men and women as different species? It doesn’t fix things to say “well women are the good gender and men are the bad one” this time. If you sincerely want to dismantle sexism, you’re going to have to unpack and let go of all sex and gender essentialism—even that which considers women inherently pure and men inherently immoral.

#read bell hooks read bell hooks I’ll say it 1000x more please read bell hooks #with the u.s. election I’ve been seeing so much about how young men are becoming more & more radicalized by ‘manosphere’ right-wingers #but people’s response instead of ‘let’s work to deradicalize/reduce radicalization’ has been ?? ‘let’s get more radical too’????#as in to stop talking to/having relationships with men entirely. who does that actually help? what effect are you wanting to see?#others say to let men ‘figure themselves out.’ what???? how do you think radicalization and deradicalization work????#intersectional feminism #sexism #transandrophobia #<I have absolutely seen these sentiments be inclusive of trans men completely ignoring that they don’t equally benefit from patriarchy #mine

the thing about trying to recommend fiction podcasts to someone who isn't familiar with them is that not only are so so many genres represented but also the level of production can fall anywhere from "basically an audiobook" to "major motion picture minus the pictures"

#original #idk just something i think about sometimes #you can read a description to get a sense of the genre/plot/vibe but you truly dont know What exactly youre getting into till you listen #with nonfiction podcasts it tends to be easier to get a read on whether its gonna be like. some buddies fucking around with a mic #or more like a whole documentary #or with fiction books there can be different framings but the actual makeup of the thing is almost always the same #idk what im saying at this point i need to stop putting so much bullshit in tags #whatever #audio drama
