This energy though
The amount of transphobes that just don't know anything about swords or fencing is fucking killing me. Firstly, alot of fencing competitions are gender neutral. Secondly even if someone who did have a massive strength advantage entered a fencing competition that still wouldn't help them too much because a duel with swords is very rarely decided on strength. It doesn't matter how strong you are, if your opponent hits you that's a point for them. Fencing is won entirely by fucking knowing how to fence, shockingly.
Also, anybody commenting "Why is her hair greasy. She needs to wash her hair" needs to step outside the house like atleast once in their life. Girl just won a fencing competition and she was wearing one of these š the whole time
SHE WAS FUCKING SWEATY
lmaoo
this post was brought to my attention today and I checked her twitter and this made me happy

āso you like criminals?ā I LIKE THE RIGHT TO A FAIR TRIAL.
One of worst things copaganda ever perpetuated is the rhetoric that if you aren't guilty of breaking the law, you shouldn't value your personal privacy against the state's surveillance and interrogation. That only guilty people hire lawyers when talking to police.

gonna start making snopes-style responses to urban legends about tumblr
"this how we lost post editing and it was still worth it"
ā False
The John Green Cock Monologue, while one of the most egregious examples of post editing, was not why the ability to edit posts was taken away. This feature was removed because scammers would edit posts with huge note counts to try to make their scams look legit.
"those are his hooves, bitch."
ā True
Those are his hooves, bitch.
For younger readers, you can observe this by watching The Simpsons and many other sitcoms, from I Love Lucy right up through shit like B:tVS
Contemporary household financial needs were a punchline. We called them DINKS (dual income, no kids).
My mom raised 3 kids and didn't even have a diploma. She worked harder than someone who did, but she was able to meet the needs of all of us and also feed the homeless people she let live in our spare rooms.
Once upon a time, it wasn't just possible, it was the norm.
My dad dropped out of college and went to work in the local GM plant. He lived with his parents and saved religiously and worked so much overtime (1.5-2X normal pay rate.) 10 years later he paid for a modest house with cash. He raised my brother and I w/ my mom not working outside the house. We didnāt live fancy (or normal but thatās a tangent for another time) but we had incredible insurance and financial security.
Today, that plant is closed, his job and lifestyle do not exist.

idk if this is controversial or not, but I really like when non-professional writing like fic has hints of author bleedthrough when it comes to like, what different people assume is common knowledge. Like sometimes Iāll be reading a fic and itāll just be obvious that the person writing it is either obsessed with medicine or has been to medical school, because theyāll use terms that are just a shade too technical without explaining them. Itās never the super specific stuff that theyād know other people are unaware of, itās always the things that once youāve known it for a while you forget itās niche knowledge. Itās fun because as a fanfic reader it reminds me of how this is a fun hobby community, where everyone has their own thing going on outside of fandom. Everyoneās got their own specialties and they canāt help but write that into their work sometimes
ā¦well this post sure took off
new ask game; what do you think my hobby, skillset or knowledge or any other details of me based off my writing
when someone is completely fucking wrong about your blorbo but you don't want to argue about what basically boils down to opinions about shit that doesn't matter so you just sit there like
"that guy's wrong tho"
Sometimes I think peopleās complaints about queer genre fic boil down to them wanting litfic and not knowing thereās queer litfic. If you wish to read about sad lesbian adjunct professors having unsatisfying sex, rejoice! NPR has reviewed it for you
I like how this post doubles as a serious description of fiction genres and a cheap crack at NPR (or perhaps praise if that sort of thing floats your boat.)
I mean I read enough NPR book reviews to know thatās where the lesbian litfic is to be found, soā¦

So a couple days ago, some folks braved my long-dormant social media accounts to make sure Iād seen this tweet:
And after getting over my initial (rather emotional) response, I wanted to reply properly, and explain just why that hit me so hard.
So back around twenty years ago, the internet cosplay and costuming scene was very different from today. The older generation of sci-fi convention costumers was made up of experienced, dedicated individuals who had been honing their craft for years. Ā These were people who took masquerade competitions seriously, and earning your journeyman or master costuming badge was an important thing.Ā They had a lot of knowledge, but ā hereās the important bit ā a lot of them didnāt share it. Ā Itās not just that they werenāt internet-savvy enough to share it, or didnāt have the time to write up tutorials ā no, literally if you asked how they did something or what material they used, they would refuse to tell you. Some of them came from professional backgrounds where this knowledge literally was a trade secret, others just wanted to decrease the chances of their rivals in competitions, but for whatever reason it was like getting a door slammed in your face. Ā Now, thatās a generalization ā there were definitely some lovely and kind and helpful old-school costumers ā but they tended to advise more one-on-one, and the idea of just putting detailed knowledge out there for random strangers to use wasnāt much of a thing. Ā And then what information did get out there was coming from people with the freedom and budget to do things like invest in all the tools and materials to create authentic leather hauberks, or build a vac-form setup to make stormtrooper armor, etc. Ā NOT beginner friendly, is what Iām saying.
Then, around 2000 or so, two particular things happened: anime and manga began to be widely accessible in resulting in a boom in anime conventions and cosplay culture, and a new wave of costume-filled franchises (notably the Star Wars prequels and the Lord of the Rings movies) hit the theatres. Ā What those brought into the convention and costuming arena was a new wave of enthusiastic fans who wanted to make costumes, and though a lot of the anime fans were much younger, some of them, and a lot of the movie franchise fans, were in their 20s and 30s, young enough to use the internet to its (then) full potential, old enough to have autonomy and a little money, and above all, overwhelmingly female. Ā I think that latter is particularly important because that meant they had a lifetime of dealing with gatekeepers under our belts, and we werenāt inclined to deal with yet another one.Ā They looked at the old dragons carefully hoarding their knowledge, keeping out anyone who might be unworthy, or (even worse) competition, and they said NO. Ā If secrets were going to be kept, they were going to figure things out for ourselves, and then they were going to share it with everyone. Ā Those old-school costumers may have done us a favor in the long run, because not knowing those old secrets meant that we had to find new methods, and we were trying ā and succeeding with ā materials that āseriousā costumers would never have considered. Ā I was one of those costumers, but there were many more ā I was more on the movie side of things, so JediElfQueen and PadawansGuide immediately spring to mind, but there were so many others, on YahooGroups and Livejournal and our own hand-coded webpages, analyzing and testing and experimenting and swapping ideas and sharing, sharing, sharing. Ā
Iām not saying that to make it sound like we were the noble knights of cosplay, riding in heroically with tutorials for all. Ā Iām saying that a group of people, individually and as a collective, made the conscious decision that sharing was a Good Things that would improve the community as a whole. Ā That wasnāt necessarily an easy decision to make, either. I know I thought long and hard before I posted that tutorial; the reaction I had gotten when I wore that armor to a con told me that I had hit on something new, something that gave me an edge, and if I didnāt share that info I could probably hang on to that edge for a year, or two, or three. Ā And I thought about it, and I was briefly tempted, but again, there were all of these others around me sharing what they knew, and I had seen for myself what I could do when I borrowed and adapted some of their ideas, and I felt the power of what could happen when a group of people came together and gave their creativity to the world.
And it changed the face of costuming. Ā People who had been intimidated by the sci-fi competition circuit suddenly found the confidence to try it themselves, and brought in their own ideas and discoveries. Ā And then the next wave of younger costumers took those ideas and ran, and built on them, and branched out off of them, and the wave after that had their own innovations, and suddenly here we are, with Youtube videos and Tumblr tutorials and Etsy patterns and step-by-step how-to books, and I am just so, so proud. Ā
So yeah, seeing appreciation for a 17-year-old technique I figured out on my dining-room table (and bless it, doesnāt that page just scream āI learned how to code on Geocities!ā), and having it embraced as a springboard for newer and better things warms this fandom-oldās heart. Ā This is our legacy, and a legacy the current group of cosplayers is still creating, and itās a good one. Ā
(Oh, and for anyone wondering: yes, Iām over 40 now, and yes, Iām still making costumes. And that armor is still in great shape after 17 years in a hot attic!) Ā
Hang on a minute. I recognize the name āpenwiperā. Let me checkā Ok, yeah, Iāve heard of this person.
OP also invented armsocks.
Y'all might have noticed that your friendly community moderator has been slacking a bit lately. No updates. No organizing. What the heck was
OP I have been thinking about YOUR IMPACT since 2011. Do you know what you did for Homestuck lmao
Another example of a foundational internet text that millions of people donāt know was so influential.

having feelings that contradict your morals is soooo fucking annnoooooyyyiiingggggg. can the emotions and logic department get on the same page im tired of having to like strangle myself into being a tolerable person
If your lover lives in Hong Kong and cannot get to Chicago, it will be necessary for you to go to Hong Kong. Perhaps you will spend your life there, and never see Chicago again. And you will, I assure you, as long as space and time divide you from anyone you love, discover a great deal about shipping routes, airlines, earthquake, famine, disease, and war. And you will always know what time it is in Hong Kong, for you love someone who lives there. And love will simply have no choice but to go into battle with space and time and, furthermore, to win.
