#this will forever be the funniest thing to me

[queerlyvictorian]

Brennan Lee Mulligan arguing for the primal nature of morality on Ep. 40’s Fireside Chat is one of the funniest and realest things I’ve ever heard. He once again put into words what I have been trying to say for what feels like forever.

EDIT: No, I actually need to quote this out for myself.

“One of the things that happens a lot in philisophy that is, I think, a point of failure, potentially, in it, is that philosophy contains a lot of formal logic studies, and there’s a degree to want to sort of explicate, logically, everything, and go like, ‘What are the reasons and rationalities behind all of this?” But I think ignoring the primal origins of morality- You don’t need- If you watch someone kick a small animal, you don’t need an explanation for why that’s bad. It’s a first- It’s a primary thing, right? And you get into weird positions when you’re like, ‘I believe that humans should have good- be flourish and be happy, and have safety and joy!’ And someone can literally just go ‘Why? To what end? To what end should they have joy?’ And you’re like ‘Not to what end. I’m saying this is the end for me. The end for me is joy and safety and peace.’ And I get to say that because I’m a weird brain monster living in the universe and I can create meaning with my mind. You’re doing the same thing right now, but I just choose joy. Are you choosing something else? Because if you are, then we’re in conflict!” -Brennan Lee Mulligan, “Fireside Chat for WWW ep40 ‘Aid and Comfort’”

Choose joy, motherfucker! If you’re not, we’re in conflict!!!

Will you tell me about all your chickens? You can tell me anything about them

ABSOLUTELY the world needs to know about them: ALL OF MY CHICKENS

this is the OG flock we got back in 2010, left to right is henrietta, noodles, eggy, and sprinkles

henrietta was so cute when she was a baby and now shes a beautiful old lady...... shes going to be 15 years old this year and she LOVES hugs and mealworms she is the most snuggly chicken in the entire world and is so so sweet to the other hens. shes at the top of the pecking order rn literally because the other hens respect their elders and shes so nice to them. like when she was younger in the OG flock she was at the bottom rank and got bullied a lot but now that shes in charge she is NEVER mean to the other hens and she goes out of her way to share treats and be nice. shes SO cute and SO sweet its crazy and insane

noodles was sooo pretty and kind of an airhead. she was a really good leader at the top of the pecking order and was such a sweetie pie. she had a huge appetite and would eat anything forever

eggy the silliest chicken in the world i think. she had the funniest voice she sounded like a goose honking it was so silly. she also really liked sweets which was really unusual???? literally no other chicken in the world likes sweet things. she and henrietta were THE besties of all time they had such a funny dynamic

sprinkles was so silly and was EXTREMELY particular about keeping her feathers cleaned like she was always fixing them up and grooming herself. she also had the prettiest eyes i have ever seen like soo beautiful. she also had a speckly comb and wattles which was interesting idk what breeds she was a mix of but it was cool

magnolia who i apparently have ZERO good pictures of but shes a brown-red ameraucana. i got her and harriet in 2017. she was very quiet she barely ever said bawk bawk or anything. she also did not like to be petted or held and seemed to always have a rage or perhaps a hatered simmering just below the surface. she did like snuggling with the other chickens tho and was besties with harriet

harriet who is unable completely unable to be normal and has zero chill. i have never heard or seen her acting like a normal chicken. like she never ever goes bawk bawk or guk guk the only sound i have EVER heard her make is police siren wailing. like rraAAAAAAAAAAAk AK AK AK at the highest whistling pitch u have ever heard and she always forgets to close her beak afterward so shes always just staring wide eyed like mouth agape. she is also so scared and startled of everything like if u show her a mealworm and then gently toss it in her direction she will EXPLODE at the sudden movement and disappear in a sonic boom. i filmed her doing her dash once and it literally took her 2 frames at 24 fps to DISAPPEAR from the screen when she got startled. she also has MASSIVE like 1 1/2 inch spurs which is unusual for a hen

muffet (and dottie) the only chickens i had since they were just little baby chickies whomst i got in 2020. muffet was so silly and constantly confused about everything. it felt like she was actually a chicken shaped alien who was trying so very hard to be the most normal chicken in the world to avoid raising suspicion

dottie (who i can NOT find pictures of rn for the life of me but she looked a lot like muffet except shorter and had 2 spikes missing off her comb and 1 funky oval pupil) was actually insane like there was something wrong with her. she ATTACKED me and everyone and everything with the intent to kill everytime anything moved and she barely ever said bawk bawk she only growled like a dino saur. grrrrarrrk grrrrk grk like real low really scary and intimidating

penny who i stole from the neighbors when she was just a wee little baby in 2018. she has the cutest voice where she chirps like a songbird with a bunch of short buk buks. she HATES being petted with a passion and is so unchill. shes at the bottom of the pecking order now so shes not allowed to be mean to anyone but when dottie and muffet were around she was a RUTHLESS jerk tyrant to them. even now shes the only one who tries to chase and attack the squirrels and crows that come visit the yard

overall i LOVE my beautiful chickens who are so cute and so beautiful and have so much personality and are more important than the entire world . also yes pecking orders are real and its not made up like the wolf pack ranks are

So actually, as a fandom old, I can actually inform you about how to express this without causing unnecessary drama (unless you want to cause unnecessary drama, which…block me I guess bc then you’d be sucking)

But anyway

See how you know the ship name? All you have to do is tag your posts “anti sharpwolf” and if you want, you can also go the extra mile and tag “anti antinous”

Because on tumblr, there’s actually extensive methods of tag blocking! This means (w the extension of tumblr savior) that when people block the “anti sharpwolf” tag, they won’t see you express your opinion on the ship, negative or otherwise. And the extra great thing about tumblr is that even if you DONT tag it, the block system makes it so that even if you put “I’m anti sharpwolf” in the post proper, people who like the ship will STILL not see it.

Used to be, that if I disliked a ship or character and wanted to bitch about them, all I had to do was tag “anti character name/ship name” and everyone knew that THOSE tags were a legit safe space to talk smack about said thing. You can find like minded haters without looking like a jerk. You could literally say whatever you want about the thing you hate, and no one who likes it can say anything, because you did your due diligence. This is called fandom etiquete and it’s smiled upon in civilized apps.

Of course, for this to work, you also have to NOT tag the actual character name, as a courtesy. Because like you, not everyone knows how the tagging system works and might not have “anti antinous / anti sharpwolf” blocked yet. As members of fandoms it’s up to individuals to be informed and inform new members, as I am to you.

Now you might be saying “but if I don’t use the character / ship tag / fandom tag - how will I find and reach my target audience?” Well the tricky thing about finding like minded haters is similar to finding like minded shippers, you really have to curate your own audience and agree with them that YOUR hate tags are the only places that you can happily discuss your negative emotions.

And as a fandom old, it IS fun when you have a safe space to hate character! I do highly recommend it. Some of the funniest moments of my youth was when me and my besties could sit and whine about the flawed logic of (in our opinion!) a thing we disliked.

It’s really as simple as making a post going “I’d like to introduce the Anti Sharpwold tag as a blockable tag for anyone who like the ship, but also as a welcoming tag for people who dislike it, so that way we don’t step on each others toes”

Now you might not get any clout or much notes when you tag appropriately, but it’s my opinion that the healthy thing is being able to express yourself however you like, outside of something as ridiculous and silly as fandom discourse. Cuz there really nothing lamer than hating something not because of the love of the hatred, but for the express purpose of annoying others.

But what do I know, I’ve just been here forever.

Is this a safe space to say I despise sharpwolf (Telemachus x antinous)

Day 1: Heaven & Hell

A slightly different take on Anael and Ruby hehe

[anastacialy]

guys, i think the hermits are going to accidentally start a prank war again. because just like last time, a game of telephone has begun. first, false made iskall's build into ''false beans,'' her shop from the previous season. however, to give herself plausible deniability, she signs it with "love, Joel. x" due to his username, smallishbeans.

next, iskall sees this, and completely believes it. he thinks it was joel who pranked him, and as he says to pearl while showing off the sign, which he kept even after tearing the prank down, "joel gave me a kiss." in his most recent video, he pranks joel by sending him loads of anonymous messages in order to completely spam and fill his inbox, preventing him from getting any more mail, with notes such as "thinking about you. x"

of course, joel is going to have absolutely no context for this, because he didn't make the initial prank. so who is joel going to assume sent him all those messages while he was away on holiday? well, i have a guess.

etho.

stealing this joke from twitter kind of but genuinely the funniest thing any of the hello charlotte games ever did was have this as an unironic plot point that the entire series’ existence relies on
