Me filtering out kinks I don’t like on AO3. 

[walksonstars]

The excluded tags filter on Ao3 is such a fucking lifesaver. I love it so much.

I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. Later, if I missed my chance I will hold that ache in my heart and nurse the wounds with your smile. But now, now I will not hold you back with the weight of my questions and unsure possibilities. Now I will smile and hold my tongue. This right now is worth it.

In a truck stop bathroom washing my hands today and 2 boys, looked about 5 and 9, came in with their little sister who looked maybe 2. The following whispered conversation made my entire day

"We have to wait, there's a lady in here!"

"That's not a lady, he has a mustache! We can be in here!"

"Some ladies have mustaches! And she has boobs!"

"Well some guys have boobs! Like Uncle Jake!"

"Uncle Jake is fat!"

At this point I could not contain a chuckle and both whirled around with identical looks of panic on their faces. I smiled and said "it's alright for you guys to be in here so your sister has help, don't worry. And I'm both! That's why I have boobs and a mustache. Some folks are just built that way"

(In unison) "Ooooooh!"

(older boy) "So do you use Sir or Ma'am or both?"

"Both, but I prefer Sir"

"Cool! Well thanks Sir! We have to help our sister now!"

This was in a small town country truck stop and both boys had "Murica" type stuff on and neither of them had any issue at all with these concepts. Their mom approached me while I was in line about 10 minutes later and apologized for them bothering me in the bathroom (they had told her about the interaction) and she and I had a lovely little chat too. I got to introduce her to the term "intersex" and her reply was "I think I've heard of that before! I didn't know that was the word for it. Amazing how many different ways God can make people!"

Sometimes the world is good. More often than you might think, if you give it a chance. It's not all bad loves <3

They're just mad they don't have a clicky pen

clicking a pen over and over again is actually fun as fuck its a shame it makes everyone in a 30 foot radius want to kill me with a rock

Meet and fall in love with the Orpheus and Eurydice from Dead Boy Detectives. I promise it doesn't hurt. Much.

[walksonstars]

Just cried. “So this is how democracy dies… with thunderous applause” has never been so strongly felt

[walksonstars]

me holding a gun to a mushroom: tell me the name of god you fungal piece of shit

mushroom: can you feel your heart burning? can you feel the struggle within? the fear within me is beyond anything your soul can make. you cannot kill me in a way that matters

me cocking the gun, tears streaming down my face: I’M NOT FUCKING SCARED OF YOU

[walksonstars]

What I don't get is why they didn't ask for shelter and mutual rebuilding. Surely that would have been a better deal?

the one thing (there's actually many things) that i don't understand about The Hobbit is how the people of Laketown insisted that they be given anything from Erebor immediately after the dragon died?

like, the dwarves just got there! they literally only just got inside this giant city in a mountain:

-1/4 (upper levels) destroyed from Smaug rampaging around

-they need to bury their dead

-Thorin said he would begin trade so everyone flourished

-Bard [understandably] actively voiced against Thorin

-inventory needs to be made of everything, including the dead

-food??? can they eat first? they just kicked a dragon out!

but then the people of Laketown are portrayed as victims of circumstance, instead of survivors that know how to make plenty out of nothing, when they're being greedy! how can 9 dwarves and 1 hobbit physically bring down enough coin to pay for anything, nevertheless rebuilding a whole city like Dale????

also, there are (at the time Bard comes to demand [DEMAND!!] payment) 13 dwarves and 1 hobbit inside a city to hold 1 million+ people. how can any of this happen?? it's stupid and Thorin (however afflicted with Dragon sickness) was right to give them nothing at the moment. the people of Laketown could have waited until more dwarrow came and renovations and trade agreements could be made.

Bard spent his whole life feeling like no matter how bad things were he didn’t deserve to grieve because he got a less raw deal than many of his peers. A sensation which was only heightened when his community was destroyed and his family displaced in the same event which led to him becoming a fucking King. He deserves at least one agonized scream into Thranduil’s bare chest. It would be good for him.

My face is having uncontrollable spasms. Great. It hurts really, really, really bad.

I think part of why I have trouble explaining pain to the doctor is when they ask about the pain scale I always think “Well, if someone threw me down a flight of stairs right now or punched me a few times, it would definitely hurt a lot more” so I end up saying a low number. I was reading an article that said that “10” is the most commonly reported number and that is baffling to me. When I woke up from surgery with an 8" incision in my body and I could hardly even speak, I was in the most horrific pain of my life but I said “6” because I thought “Well, if you hit me in the stomach, it would be worse.”

if there’s one aspect i could criticize about the writing of teen wolf it’s the in depth backstories of each character only to never talk about it again or develop it any further.

liam’s ied and past school? only used as a prop to further the plot and create conflict (angry man go punch!)

isaac’s abuse and claustrophobia? only mentioned/showed how it effects him one time outside flashbacks (motel california)

theo’s growing up and manipulation with the dread doctors? never mentioned, only lightly brushed over in incoherent flashbacks (yes it shows him being guilty for taking tara’s heart, but not the dread doctors effect on him and torture for him to get where he was)

stiles’ nogitsune trauma? only brought up as a joke after the fact (“i once had a demon living in my head LOL”)

derek hale’s past with grooming by kate? only used to show they know each other, not why what she did was wrong or harmful (doesn’t show the harmful nature of grooming and how derek’s trust would be forever altered because of kate’s abuse of his)

malia living like a coyote for the first ?17? years of her life because she “killed” her own family? “omg you can’t take her anywhere! she likes to eat deer🤣🤣”

allison’s mom killing herself cause she’d rather be anything but a werewolf? mentioned maybe a couple times afterwords

it seems as though they attempt to make the characters deep and thought-out but toss aside the trauma they have given them in order to further the new villian of the week and constant conflict. sometimes i wish that the characters made decisions in conjunction with their prior trauma or showed symptoms of how these events effected them because it’s no secret that they would. i understand that it’s a lot to ask for a super precise and detailed description of how every character is feeling, but with 24 episodes a season, tossing in a couple reflective scenes couldn’t have hurt. i fear that their constant need to one-up their villains took away from the personality and characterization of the show as it kept running.

(this is why i love this fandom so much, because yall do! thank you to the writers who write realistic ptsd or lingering effects of major events)

ok i’m done now thank you @thiamsxbitch for inspiring this rant

[walksonstars]

So I just saw a post by a random personal blog that said “don’t follow me if we never even had a conversation before” and?????? Not to be rude but literally what the fuck??????????

I’ve had people (non-pornbots) try to strike conversation out of nowhere in my DMs recently, and now I’m wondering if they were doing that because they wanted to follow me and thought they needed to interact first. I feel compelled to say, just in case, that it’s totally okay to follow this blog (or my side blog, for that matter) even if we’ve never talked before.

Also, I’m legit confused. Is this how follow culture works right now? It was worded like it’s common sense but is that really a thing?
