Nothing here, really

[USER WAS GIVEN A BIG SPIRAL LOLLIPOP AND A SHINY NEW QUARTER FOR THIS POST]

My fellow goths need to STOP associating gothness with pale skin RIGHT NOW. Goths can be brown, goths can be Black, and goths can be dark-skinned. Acknowledge this, respect this, and make goth spaces inclusive of brown and dark-skinned people or die by my sword 🤺

Can i add that emos need to do the same?

YES. THIS APPLIES TO EMO AND SCENE COMMUNITIES TOO.

girls and women who are afraid of aging don’t seem to be paying attention to the fact that middle aged women are often having more fun than anyone else alive

my biggest fear about aging is that i will accidentally not age into one of the fun ones who’s laughing with her friends 24/7 like they’re in a commercial for a casino

A three-circle venn-diagram where the circles are "sex workers", "the furry community", and "people working in morgues". I don't know what the overlap parts are.

Fourth circle needed: IT workers

You say that with such confidence that I am compelled to trust your vision. Personally I have no idea where this is going.

i'd say the overlap between "sex workers" and "people who work in morgues" is probably "seeing naked strangers a lot"

"professional handling of bodies of strangers"?

Okay I’ve gone through many of the reblogs and “prefer when clients don’t talk to them” is peak

i think the actual scientific term for this is "hermaphrodite," which regarding human beings has some unsavory connotations but to all my fellow specevo nerds this is the word we use

To be fair, they did successfully pressure Artur Conan Doyle into resurrecting Sherlock Holmes. You just have to pick easily influenceable solo authors.

Dickens was also pressured into writing a second ending to Great Expectations because the ecpected ship didn't happen. I'm not even kidding, lol.

plausible deniability remains highly erotic

let's convince ourselves that this is okay. let's rely on technicalities to exonerate ourselves. let's avoid looking what we're doing in the eye. let's live under its shadow, both aware of what this is but unwilling to say it out loud, since that will shatter the careful illusion we've built

It is thursday morning. Visualize yourself as the marble, the chisel, and the untrained sculpter who just tried methamphetamine

the thing about being bullied for being weird as a kid is that even if you've always embraced being weird your brain is still always looking for the line where it's too much. you can be as proudly and intentionally weird as you want and you can love being weird but your mind is still convinced there's a point where you get too weird and people start treating you like a weird looking bug again. also it feels like you reach that point 500 times a day even if everyone you've spoken to today found you pleasant and likable and even if you're completely alone in your house with nobody looking at you at all.

another thing about being bullied for being weird is that it tends to make you more weird in ways you understand less and that get you bullied worse because the only thing funnier than making fun of an autistic kid is making fun of a traumatized autistic kid

The problem with being low support needs is that people mentally autocorrect that to “no support needs” and then proceed to give you absolutely nothing and then get surprised when you implode after six months.

It's important to note that Chekhov's Gun was not originally about foreshadowing, but a piece of advice to playwrights about how every element in a play should have narrative relevance. The corollary to Chekhov's Gun is that if a gun mounted on the wall in act 1 is never used at all in the entirety of the play, then it should be omitted from the play entirely.

i think being proud of where you come from is one of those things that becomes fun the more specific you get. like "proud to be english" bad rancid vibes. makes you sound like the kind of person who rants about immigrants. "proud to be from yorkshire" better vibes. i cannot deny the yorkshire cultural heritage. "proud to be from pocklington" absolutely fucking hilarious please never let anybody kill your pocklington pride.

we talk about how cis people are just handed a gender and accept it without thought but I think what we fail to mention is that the same happens with sexuality

this extends beyond the bounds of simple heterosexuality. it's also about being told that you enjoy skinny white cis women with button noses and straight hair and no stretch marks and no cellulite etc. lotta gay people never let go of that one!
