It's me!
It's ya boi, Kel! I sometimes write the things and stuff (most likely that protocreed thing you really liked from 2013). I've been on tumblr a long.... looooooong time. I write fanfic on the side, roleplay, and play obsessive amounts of farm sims.
My main fandoms are: -Assassin's Creed -[Prototype] -Protocreed -Left 4 Dead -Pokemon -Harvest Moon/Story of Seasons -Stardew Valley -Fallout

then it's worthless to me
Sometimes on the internet people will throw an abbreviation at you as if you’re supposed to know what it means and you’ll try to find out what it means but no matter what you do on any search engine all that comes up is some kind of dental supplies logistics company in Malaysia or something
Been getting into ceramics lately
How do they taste man
It hasn’t even been five minutes. Why do so many of you think I’m eating it. It hasn’t even been five minutes.
Yeah yeah whatever how do they taste man
Not so good.
no ao3 users, people switching from wattpad to ao3 is not colonization, and it should not be treated as such
Not to be a Mexican killjoy but if you’re white and you make ICE/MAGA/deportation/racist jokes about wattpad users I’m gonna assume all it would take is the right bit of propaganda to make you support ICE irl. What’s funny about ICE to you huh? You’re invoking our biggest fears because you’re inconvenienced. Yes thank you I’d like a side of screaming nightmares with my fanfic.
“It’s like colonization!” Did they kill you? Put you in a camp? No? Find a new word thanks

Something that gets me about Pokemon Pokopia is that you actually find out what led to the setting of Pokopia pretty early on. While exploring the world you find dozens of logs that explain in very clear terms what's going on. But Ditto remains clueless about it no matter how many logs you collect, and cannot offer so much as a theory to Professor Tangrowth and the others.
And then I realized they have no reaction to the logs for the same reason they have no reaction to signs and info board items--
DITTO CAN'T READ.
a very good boy
I've been putting off making this post in the hopes someone else would do it, because I know it's going to make my notifications an absolute nightmare for weeks. But at the end of the day no one is making what I feel like is the single most important point about all this, so I guess that falls on me.
Anyway. The awful wizard books. You know the ones. At this point I think anyone actively spending money on Harry Potter IP is, at best, a transphobic enabler and can probably be written off as a lost cause when it comes to doing the right thing. To put it lightly. But people want there to be wiggle room when it comes to things like buying the books used, or writing fanfic, or cosplaying the characters, and other people want to call them losers for ever being invested and generally preen about being better people because of their own personal taste in books instead of actually doing anything for trans folks, and frankly I'm tired of this whole conversation, but I'm especially tired of no one bringing up what, to me, is the whole problem, so.
Places my hands gently on the side of your head, if you are someone still engaging with the fandom. Yes, you. Look. I'm genuinely sorry this happened to a thing you liked. I'm a trans person, and I actually really enjoyed Harry Potter as a kid, too. My dad and I had a mini book club working through the series. He took me and one of my best friends to pick up the final book at midnight. She's trans now too, btw. The friend, not my dad. Anyway. It sucks. And I think people who pretend it doesn't suck or who act like every child (because most of us read the books as, you know, kids, who knew a lot less about the world) who didn't pick up on this or that in the series when they were 12 years old was a budding proto-fascist or whatever is doing more harm than good. So again, I'm genuinely sorry. But you still gotta stop. And it's not because Joanne Rowling gains, like, evil xp every time someone says the name of a Hogwarts House.
It's because you're triggering people.
That's really all it comes down to. At this point there's a firm enough association that Harry Potter = transphobia that even if you're the kindest sweetest person in the world who donates to trans charities and wears a Pride pin on your lanyard and does your best to be a good ally in every other part of your life, if you're engaging in Harry Potter fandom anywhere openly -- like on Ao3, or at conventions, or here on tumblr -- you are still unfortunately triggering people.
Trans people deserve a place in fandom, too. I hope you can agree with me on that. We deserve to go to conventions, and use fanfiction sites, and participate in fic exchanges and challenges, and to do all the same fannish things you enjoy. And we deserve to do so without navigating the minefield of being reminded that one of the most powerful women in the world wants us all to die, and is actively using her money in the service of that. So it's really, genuinely hard to go to conventions and see people in Harry Potter cosplay, and it's hard to see Harry Potter ships placing high in the (recent!) Ao3 rankings, and it's hard to see Harry Potter fic being included in exchanges we participate in. Even if the people involved aren't giving Rowling a cent, even if you disagree with her vehemently on everything that matters. It's still a reminder that our lives are quite literally on the line, and it's exhausting.
That's why people need to let go of her stuff. There are a lot of (cis) people on their moral high horse about having already done so and I'm going to be honest, I think it's actually making things worse, because turning it into a moral purity contest about liking or not liking the right things shouldn't ever have been the point. The point is -- do you want to hurt people, or do you want to be kind? Continuing to engage with the books, movies, and impending TV series -- even in relatively segregated corners of fandom, even with tags and filters, even with disclaimers that you disagree with the creator -- is going to hurt people. Letting go of it, even if it's hard for you, maybe especially if it's hard for you, is kind.
Can you do that? Can you promise me you really do want people like me to feel safe and comfortable in fandom spaces too? Can you do what you can to make us feel safe?
Anyway. That's my piece. I hope it makes some things clearer for some people. I know it won't for everyone. But it's been bothering me a lot that no one seems to be talking about what the point of all this is, which is not having perfect taste in books, or moral purity, or even about hating Rowling. It's thinking about how this actually affects those of us who don't have the luxury of separating a bigot's fiction from her politics, and about loving trans people more than you love a book series -- or for that matter, more than you hate transphobes.
why is there an upgrade button on gmail. why does twitter want me to scan my palm to get into my account. why is google a chatbot. why does the transit app make a transit app wrapped for me. why does youtube keep shoving its infinitely scrollable shortform content down my throat. why do my doctor and psychiatrist and therapist want to use an ai notetaker during our appointments. why do free trials want my credit card number. why are most scholarship websites just data brokers. how do i make capitalone stop sending me mail. why is my school making its own special chat gpt powered chatbot. why is every third video on instagram an undisclosed ad. why is nothing online real anymore. why is everything so FUCKING STUPID
Having ADHD is so fun because sometimes youre looking for something that you use regularly and definitely put away in a smart and reasonable place and you have absolutely 0 hope of remembering where and finding it. And then other times ur like "hmm I need a some kind of small pointed object. I feel like i remember seeing a paperclip under the left couch cushion a month ago, i wonder if its still there" and it is
"wait but if u saw the paperclip why would u just leave it there?" its the adhd. Also if i had put it away then i wouldnt have been able to find it a month later when i needed it. So. Checkmate neurotypicals.
Problem is when the ADHD catalogue is out of date, when you go to check under the couch cushion for that paperclip and it ISNT there, sometimes your brain will just give you a montage of false memories of everywhere you've ever seen a paper clip, like this
yeah yeah the paperclip montage, we've all seen it
[ID: a montage of a paper clip in a bunch of different locations around a house. end ID]

practicing self care less out of self love and more for the sheer logical reasoning of it’d be kinda stupid of me to expect myself to be able to function without proper maintenance
“oh i don’t deserve rest and relaxation, i haven’t done enough, i haven’t earned it” and my car’s breaks don’t deserve break fluid because they aren’t breaking well enough to earn it. that’s what you sound like!!!!!
just thought y’all should know this post has gotten so much traction that my own roommate has referenced it and i never even, like, sent it to her, and she’s not even active on tumblr.
I love it when a classicist has clearly gotten so lost in the BCE sauce that their perception of time has become deeply warped. Case in point: the article I’m currently reading just described the Byzantine era as “a period relatively modern.”
Stop that’s too funny
objectively, they're right
just witnessed something devastating
guy on the subway with one ear pierced, little gold hoop. other guy on the subway very quickly and subtly googling "which one is the gay ear". it is not the gay ear. visible disappointment on his face as he puts his phone away.
the rise of conservatism and gen z puritanism while still simultaneously trying to be hip and woke is so annoying because you have these people saying "match my freak" and then they get mad at ageplay and petplay and cnc and somno and anything raunchier than a pair of fuzzy handcuffs. you're not a "freak" if you think having a fetish is synonymous with being evil
