"evie, your standards are too high"

"you gotta lower your standards"

WRONG!!

i only have 2 standards.

1: a girl that likes me back and is nice to me (optional)

2: slow burn one-sided rivalry/unrequited crush to lovers with my hot boss that ends up turning into the apocalypse where we end up saving the world and sacrifice our lives right after we make heartfelt speeches about how much we love each other (BRITISH ACCENTS FOR MAXIMUM EMOTIONAL DEVASTATION!)

I think my favourite thing about fanfic is when we take these suffering, beaten down, wet rags of characters and let them have a nice time

Its kinda like rescuing bugs from water, like I got u bro, here's a little break from drowning

The next time someone spoils a piece of media I'm really enjoying I'm going to rip them to shreds with my teeth I swear to god. Can y'all please do the bare minimum and put a "___ spoilers" tag if you're going to talk about THE LAST EPISODE OF A HUGE VERY POPULAR PIECE OF MEDIA JESUS FUCK

So true

Being a monster is so gay like what do u need more than 2 eyes for? Seeing men? Ok "eldritch being" time for bed

Do you ever just lose a hyperfixation that you loved so passionately? It takes you to another world and you dedicate yourself to it and for once it is effortless, energizing even. But then one morning you try it again and it just feels dull and you know it’s leaving like any other interest. The meaning you found in it has gone like a word you repeated one too many times. Just another thing to throw in the used pile. No matter how hard you try to love it again you will never be the same way. It’s so sad.

“Why do you not like female characters for the same reasons you like male characters?”

Specifically to spite people like you.

The podcast protagonist boyfriend hangout is evolving to include Scientists™ and transgender allegories

I have a love-hate relationship with hyperfixating on things that have ended

my main grievance with the tma fandom is that JonMartin is just, an Objectively Bad ship name. I'm sorry but in a world of Lonely Eyes, Door Keays and Terminal Velocities fucking Jonmartin? seriously?? Jon and Martin? yeah i sure hope it does. that is certainly the two main components of that ship. 10,000 people following the ship tag, 9900 fics on AO3, over 5 years of podcast and not a single person managed to popularise a ship name beyond literally just. smokshing their first names together. and don't get me started on "Jmart". that's not a ship name. that's a cornershop 12 year olds go to buy monster. wheres the magic? the ~spooky~? the "first date is essentially the apocalypse"? we are getting a bad grade in ship names, something that is both Normal To (Not) Want and Possible To Achieve.

saw a post tonight where someone said that Rocky Horror Picture Show is "TME brainrot" (among other things) and that's just a really embarrassing thing to say considering the writer of that show identifies as transgender (specifically third gender, and "in between" male and female), and was on oestrogen for around a decade. this person is explicitly affected by transmisogyny (and exorsexism). in fact, it might possibly just be a theme in his art (hint: it is).

it's queer art made by a queer person. sorry that the 82 year old trans person doesn't use your specific terminology or agree with your specific discourse takes. you don't get to degender him because you dislike him lol.

today i am thinking about tim's freeze response.

in ep 104, in his statement about danny, he beats himself up over the fact that he couldn't bring himself to move when he saw "danny" up on the stage in the covent garden theatre

[ID: A transcript screenshot reading "I always tell myself there was some force there. Something that held me in place and meant that all I could do was watch. But sometimes when I think back, I remember how my legs shook, and maybe I could move. Maybe I’m just a coward." end ID] ~~~~

and then in ep 39 sasha had to Tackle Him to get him out of prentiss' way after his whole joe spooky bit because he just Didn't Move apparently

[ID: A transcript screenshot reading:

SASHA: Behind you! Run! TIM: Oh… PRENTISS: [Slowly intoning over worm sound] Do you hear their song? SASHA: TIM! [IMPACT, WORMS AND SCUFFLING]

end ID] ~~~~

worm sounds and a full sentence after going "oh" and sasha STILL needed to tackle him.

i don't really have anywhere i'm going with this i'm just thinking about it really hard

terfs: How dare you use those extremely-rare barely even existent pathetic little disordered freaks as a cudgel for your idealogy!!!

tme/tma binarists: How dare you use those extremely-rare barely even existent intersex people as a cudgel for you ideology!!! (see, I'm not interphobic, i didn't call them disordered!!)

Me (an intersex person): So, hi, I don't actually view myself as cudge-

Both: SHUT UP AND STOP SELF-TOKENISING YOURSELF. I BET YOU'RE NOT EVEN INTERSEX!

Me: ...

The venn diagram of people who say fandom shouldn’t pigeonhole women characters as the one with the brain cell or as morally correct and people who say fandom is misogynistic to dislike women characters because they’re “”mean to the male characters“” is a circle.

Sometimes. Women characters. Are wrong.
