there is something I fear more than death

I passed a flower shop next to a tattoo shop and at first I laughed because I thought it was ironic and then i freaked because IMAGINE YOUR OTP IN A FLORIST/TATTOO ARTIST AU

OMG I COULD TOTALLY IMAGINE THEM LIKE THAT IT WOULD BE SO PERFECT

I would love to see a fantasy novel where the lore that the reader / protagonist learns at first is not true

e.g. they're told that this kind of creature has some kind of psychic or pheromone-based "mate bond" that cannot be broken; but it turns out that's a popular myth that has never been scientifically substantiated, and is basically used to keep people in bad relationships (basically the equivalent of "human women are biologically submissive")

Creating ships for the tax write-off

Creating ships to get that fucking whale.

creating ships to wedge into the Suez canal and disrupt global shipping

when the really good fic author only has 1 story for each of their 35 fandoms. see you in another life brother.

Close cousin is reading a life changing brain altering 100k masterpiece of a fic and then eagarly clicking on the author to see what ELSE they've written and its the only fic period

you don't have to be scared of your suicidal friends. you don't have to be scared of your psychotic or delusional friends. you don't have to call the police every time someone says they feel like they want to die. you can say things like, "that sounds really hard" and "I'm going to bring you some food and you can tell me more about it"

I miss when devices and gadgets were made of translucent colored plastic

I would reblog this one million times if I could

As a matter of fact you can!

Look I don't really care for AI. I'm scared about the increasing over-reliance on tools like chatgpt and Ai assist that repeatedly give flawed or false information, I reject the promise of AI writers and actors that might infect mainstream art. But like...y'all need to change the way you look at this stuff for real. So much popular anti-AI language is so abstracted from any material reality and human truth, making up slurs for Ai bots like that's a normal thing to do, wantonly accusing artists of using Ai like a witch hunt, and talking about the human element of art supplanted by AI in very Christian terms, calling it "sacred" or coming from the soul. You don't have to like AI, but I really encourage you to examine how you feel about it and what it's been making you say. Cause it's apparently making you say ethnic slurs

Should've known this post would've conjured people defending their right to repurpose real life racist pejoratives to talk about chatbots or whatever. Like is that not crazy to anybody else? That so many white liberals are frothing at the mouth to find a socially acceptable reason to put racial slurs on a t shirt at Spencer's?? I'm not even making this up somebody in the tags saw that shit in person what the fuck are we doing anymore
