Hey, remember like 10 years ago when many of us were in our teens and twenties? Remember how there were all those news articles making fun of “millennials and their avocado toast,” that they didn’t know certain skills that had stopped being taught in school, that they were ruining the economy by killing various industries?

Remember how we rightfully said that was bullshit and we would be the generation to end it, that we would be nice to the generation after us?

I’ve seen a couple posts shitting on gen alpha kids. Don’t do that. Remember that they’ve already been through climate disasters, political unrest, and a global pandemic in their young lives. Talk to them. If they’re being rude, it’s probably because they’re struggling, not because they’re evil. Treat them as we wanted to be treated when we were their age. Children are people.

if you. are making a video. you're sitting down to talk to the camera and make a video. shortform video. vertical video. less than a minute. tiktok instagram reel whatever. i have full confidence that you do not fucking need to eat right now. do not start your sentence and then shove an apple slice in your face two words in and keep talking through your apple slice. you're making yourself look so obnoxious and hateable. really truly i know you can put the apple slices to one side for the amount of time it takes to get your sentence out. i believe in you. why don't you believe in yourself

If there WAS a show made i imagine several things would be changed (some for the better some for the worse)

I can see CyFy getting a lot of alterations to make him more, uh, *digestable* for lack of a better term. because he's very loud and proud about his blackness in a unique way I've never seen before, and while I love that for him and he's one of my favorite characters, networks who don't wanna get cancelled would likely pull back on his reins so to speak. Tone him down a little or take his pride in a different direction. his DID element msy also get tweaked depending on what kind of sensitivity writers they get on board and depending on how that is handled i could vibe with it. Like I said I enjoy him a lot as-is but I can understand why others may find him offensive in some ways

I also can see the characters being made older (namely Lev who would be a challnge to get a good actor for thats actually 13) which is a change that wouldn't bother me too badly. As long as it was still clearly teens and not adults lmao

some characters may also just get cut altogether for simplicity's sake, or merged to be one character. depending on who that ends up being i can get behind the idea but it's a double edged sword

Some of the lore/tech stuff would DEFINITELY be changed because in 2024 it just doesn't make sense- the iChip Miracolina uses is a prime example haha, or the countinued existence of YouTube which is hilarious to think about that far in the future. And perhaps the wireless electricity which I think is mentioned offhandedly exactly one time ("back when electricity used to be transfered through wires")

And if diversity is ever a prime concern and keeping the characters book accurate is not, they may make some of the characters other races to sort of even out the cast, because it's very Caucasian leaning for the lead roles. Lev would likely be untouched since his blond hair and blue eyed appearance absolutely play into his character thematically but a lot of others could be racially swapped I think without much issue

Anyway. I don't really have a point with this post I'm just rambling do not take me seriously lmao

My Favorite Line In The Show

that line with that expression with that hand angle? oh you just know they did it

[silvermoon424]

I always get email notifications from LinkedIn about articles being rigorously discussed (btw I literally only use LinkedIn to update my job stats lol, I really need to just unsubscribe from emails).

Anyway, return to office and remote work policies have and continue to be passionately debated on LinkedIn. I could go on and on about this topic, but I just wanted to highlight a comment that REALLY encapsulates what’s wrong with the world in general. A Boomer retiree was arguing with a younger person about WFH, and he dropped this:

“I never got to work from home in the 50 years I was employed. Why should anyone else get to?”

And like. Damn, that’s really it, isn’t it? That really sums up why people have these dogshit opinions on why others should suffer, why they don’t deserve to live an easy life. They experienced a hardship and instead of thinking “I suffered, and I don’t want anyone else to go through the same pain,” they think “I suffered, and therefore everyone else SHOULD go through the same pain I did.”

In a terrible world, any little thing can make you love life again. But any little thing can equally make you want to murder somebody.

Sorry if this might be a rude question but why don’t you just make a seperate account for your nsfw fics?

not rude, it's a valid question! tbh it's a combination of a couple reasons.

i started posting anonymous dead dove batcest fics long before i had the balls to make a tumblr. at first i was content to just leave them unassociated with each other because i didn't really care about them being tied to me. i made this blog to actually show solidarity to my partner who wanted to make a sideblog for Sandman comic stuff so we could cheerlead each other and be brave together, since i've wanted to make a batcest sideblog but i've been nervous about actually having to get it going. (mal ik you're reading this go be brave and actually make your blog so i can cheerlead you damnit-) only did it dawn on me then that i should probably mention the fics i've written on the blog after like, three of them were posted anonymously. and it would've annoyed me to have half of them anonymous and half of them not, because notifications for them would've gone in different places. i could go back and take my fics off anon if i wanted to, but i can't switch the account they're on without taking them down entirely and that'd fuck over people who have them bookmarked already.

which, ties into my second reason, if i made an entire second ao3 account it'd be harder for me to see notifications, reply to stuff, and post things for both accounts because i'd have to constantly switch. and honestly i'd be terrified of accidentally posting on the wrong one on a brain fog day. posting fics is always the most tedious part of writing them for me lol. it's easier for me to stay logged into one account and have all of my stuff in one place for me and just use the anonymous collection when i feel like it. if ao3 pseuds worked like tumblr blogs, where you can't see all my side blogs but i can, i would've used pseuds, but since you can see all pseuds on an ao3, i felt it was a moot point.

and the last reason is i just feel more comfortable being anonymous on ao3 because of the rise in anti culture. on tumblr it's very easy for me to just filter that out and find the people i want to follow and block the people i don't. i don't mind getting hate, on tumblr or on ao3. but i think, for whatever reason you want to blame it on, there's been a massive boom of antis on ao3 who are very entitled about how they read on ao3. i tag extensively, but i just feel safer from getting targeted attacks if everything i write on ao3 isn't attached to one profile. if people like a fic i wrote, want to find more i always link my tumblr in the notes, but if an anti wants to get huffy with me, they can't easily track down my other things. they definitely could if they wanted to, but being anonymous on ao3 just makes me feel more secluded, in a weird way. it's like saying "if you want you can come find me but on here i'm just a weird faceless guy throwing stuff in the void". i've used ao3's anon feature a lot, actually, i used to be a hydra trash party dumpster kid back when that was in it's prime.

i also used to be vaguely popular on a different tumblr blog and my main ao3 and while i think it'd definitely be cool if i got a decent chunk of followers on this blog too, i don't really miss having fanfiction do so well i got targetted hate on all of my fics from the same people, i had my fics stolen, etc. it was really exhausting for me. i have 120+ works on ao3, not counting what's anonymous, and that level of exposure tires me, even when i use my main ao3 to post things that aren't trashy. it's just a weird feeling knowing so many people are subscribed to you on ao3 and what if you post something they won't like because you jumped fandoms again, or you're posting something niche, or you don't think it fills enough fandom tropes to be well-liked. i used to obsessively think like that, and it made me not write the things i wanted to because i cared about numbers. and i don't want to slide back into that hole. writing on anonymous is mostly to remind myself i wrote this for me, and if other people like it, they can come find me, but i don't have to perform like that anymore. if i get a really weird fucked up idea, i can write the really weird fucked up idea. at the end of the day, just makes me more comfortable! but i get it's a super confusing set up from an outsider perspective so, i really don't mind the question, thank you for asking!!

ron stampler: he’s not a better dad then glenn

hear me out, i feel and love all the characters of the dndads and they are all fucked up in their own way.

but i think what kinda throws me off is how fast we move past ron and terrys relationship vs the downfall of glenn’s. ron is a big charcter with a lot of story to him so it’s hard to balance his arc when well yeah…

maybe it’s myself projecting my own relationships i have with my ‘parents’ but terry is the parent to ron in the relationship, every time they interact it’s ron having terry be his emotional support he missed with his own dad (not saying he does this with intent he’s a deeply troubled person with a terrible past that has effected him forever) but i really hope past season 1 we see ron step up as a real dad- because terry being upset about his fake vampire dad dying? that hits harder when you realize that was probably the one time he had a father son relationship.

VS

glenn and nick having the best friends relationship- where neither are the parent. glenn reaped the consequences of his actions- he doesn’t have a devastating backstory to back him up to explain his actions (granted bill wasn’t a 100% dad figure himself)

here’s where i get put off:

ron gets to play his tragic backstory card to explain his current psyche as a person and dad. (unintentionally yes, but also no one in the dads point this out, or the kids which is kinda the character progression we get with everyone else.)

i know this is only the first season, and i can’t expect ron to be fully reformed or fixed by the end- he has a entire part of himself he needs to recover and go through with his own past and dad. i just i really hope that terry gets to be a kid properly instead of having to dad his own dad. (i really like their complicated relationship and i sympathize with both and the overall story i just i don’t want it to be pushed to the side for later)

anyway that’s my rambles

disclaimer: my own experience is mixed into this thinking. being a parent to your own parent really fucks you up later in life. you miss out on so much.
