Fics and Other Thoughts

Not everyone is *only* attracted to someone they're dating. Do you think people who have one night stands are not sexually attracted to the people they sleep with?

Do you think the people who lose the attraction to someone when they date are broken?

Theres a reason why theres a spectrum, and theres a reason such terms exist. If you dont feel they fit, fine. Move on, because other people very much use it as an identifier.

Firstly, I stated if you didnt feel it fitted you, then you should move on. I also stated that if you class demisexuality as *normal* behaviour, it *implies* that you fit the label. Nowhere did I state you *are*, thus I didnt put any label on you.

Also, the fact you say not to put labels on you, but have the nerve -- in pretty much the same breath -- to invalidate and attempt to dictate what other people should or should not be able to state to define their own sexuality is ridiculous.

The fact that they *are* a part of the sexual spectrum, shows that many people believe them to be a part of it -- including myself. Ace/greyace/demi sexuality/Aegosexuality (I think that's how its pronounced, anyway). Well, its *all* a part of sexuality. Which is why it should and *is* a part of the sexuality spectrum.

Thirdly, have you ever thought thay someone goes, "Omg, they're ace!" because the character is, you know, ace.... 🙄 (Like the new Sherlock... I'm pretty sure hes been confirmed as Ace by the writers.) And speaking as a writer, I very much do include characters sexuality in my notes, and theres nothing at all wrong with that, or having characters that have different levels of sexual or romantic drive.

Giant lol though. Anything to do with sexuality and sex can be to do with a persons sexuality or the spectrum of sexual attraction....

As if being Demisexual or Ace is in anyway as ridiculous or comparable to "frogsexual" or a reason why gay rights were a fight to win.

The reason Gay and Trans rights were and still are a fight to win is because of bigots...

BIGOTS. Not aces. Not Demisexual. Dang.

too late

LETS PLAY A GAME. It’s called: Who directed it TIM BURTON or HENRY SELICK

We’ll start with the 2009 Laika film Coraline based on the novel by Neil Gaiman. Do you know who directed it? Burton or Selick?

Did you guess yet?

If you guessed Henry Selick, you would be correct. Tim Burton actually had absolutely nothing to do with Coraline at all in anyway ever. Reminder: Tim Burton has NOTHING to do with Coraline. At all. But that was an easy one. Let’s go to the Walt Disney Pictures adaptation of Roald Dahl’s novel, James and the Giant Peach next.

Think you got it? Are you sure? Better double check…

Oh, look. It’s Henry Selick again! Tim Burton actually interacted with this project, though only as a producer. Bet that was tricky… Next one! Let’s go to the Disney/Touchstone Pictures film Tim Burton’s The Nightmare Before Christmas.

Have you guessed it correctly? Have you really?

Yep that’s right. Even Tim Burton’s The Nightmare Before Christmas was directed by Henry Selick. Though Burton wrote the poem and created the characters in which Nightmare was based he didn’t have much interaction with the project beyond that. At the time he had already signed off to direct the film Batman Returns and did not want to be involved with the “painstakingly slow process of stop-motion animation.”

On June, 20th the JURI of European Parliament approved of the articles 11 and 13 of the new Copyright Law. These articles are also known as the “Link Tax” and the “Censorship Machines” articles.

Articles 13 in particular forces every internet platform to filter all the contents we upload online, ending once and for all the fandom culture. Which means you won’t be able to upload any type of fandom works like fan arts, fan fictions, gif sets from your favourite films and series, edits, because it’s all copyrighted material. And you won’t also be able to share, enjoy or download other’s contents, because the use of links will be completely restricted.

But not everything’s lost yet. There’s another round of voting scheduled for the early days of July.

What you can do now to save our internet, is to share these informations with all of your family members and friends, and to ask to your MEP (the members of the European Parliament from your country) to vote NO at the next round, to vote against articles 11 and 13.

Here you can find more news and all the details to contact your MEP:

We have just a couple of weeks to stop this complete madness, don’t let them dictating the way we enjoy our internet.

Also ao3 has spoken out about this

I will face God and walk backwards into Hell

“I’ll do whatever you want” “then perish”

I have been through hell and come out singing

Do I look like the kind of man who dies

God’s dead and soon we will be too

This is hell’s territory and I am beholden to no gods

Point being, if you do it right, when you pivot around your guard and bring the pommel around the blade, your wrist does come into contact with the edge, but there is no sliding motion, and it’s that sliding motion that causes a blade to slice. You pivot, pull against the blade, and it goes flying as your wrist pulls away from the edge.

“You can always assume one thing about your clients; and that is that they are doing their best. Always assume everyone is doing their best. And if they’re having a day where their best just isn’t that great, or their best doesn’t look like your best, you have to be okay with that.”

This Article 13 is really depressing me I mean, people in the EU won’t be able to post memes anymore, or anything fan-related. Things like fanfics and fanart (of which the characters originally belong to someone else i.e game creators) will disappear and we won’t be allowed to post pretty much anything anymore… and no one seems to care. I mean I always knew the Internet was America-centric but I didn’t think it was to this extent.

Net Neutrality was everywhere but there’s nothing on this… Fandom and stuff keeps me going, I danno what I’d do without it, yanno? I guess that might seem dramatic to some people but like… I’d like to think there are a lot of people who feel the same…

I just don’t understand, what will the EU gain from censoring these things? I hate this…

Mamoudou Gassama, a 22-year old Black man from Mali, without hesitation scaled four stories of a Paris building to save a toddler facing certain death. Mamoudou is an undocumented immigrant. He knew getting caught would mean deportation. 

But instead, France has a new hero. President Macron thanked him, granted him French citizenship plus a job at the French fire brigade.

In 2011 a Toronto police officer said women should “avoid dressing like sluts” to evade being sexually assaulted. 

Heather Jarvis told NPR about the reasons for starting the Slut Walk: “This idea is very, very common that somehow people who experience sexual assault do something to attract it, are asking for it, or even deserve it. And that’s not OK. And it’s not the case. So we decided to go down to Toronto police headquarters and tell the Toronto police that we had had enough and we demanded better and we wanted to raise awareness about these issues. So we decided to call it a SlutWalk to use a language that the police officer used against us and throw it back at them.”
