Down The Gender River

jerking off is gay because you’re the same gender as yourself

*usually

the thing is that pomegranates and blood and cannibalism and Fucked Up Deer are literally cool. like they're genuinely just sick as fuck and you simply cannot deny it without looking like a try-hard contrarian. they rule. sorry for thinking deep scarlet is an awesome color for things to be... as if it's my fault...

one of the most embarrassing parts of the internet archive debacle was looking at the checkout rates for the artists involved in bitching the hardest and the loudest and the vast majority of them had been borrowed a single digit number of times. libraries, and even piracy, are not a barrier between you and millions of dollars, fame, and fortune. your barrier is public disinterest

it's always "you gnawed off your own leg to escape like an animal caught in a trap" and never "why didn't anyone try to help you out of the trap" or "why weren't you provided with any other resources to escape the trap with except for your own teeth"

Shoutout to the nun who had other nuns tie her up and pour hot wax on her as she confessed her sins

"exercise will give you more energy" gets said a lot as a common piece of health advice but I think it needs to be expanded into "exercising will make you tired while you do it, and you will continue to be tired immediately afterwards, sometimes even the next day too, but over months of consistent exercise, your muscles will get stronger and therefore get less tired out by everyday activities, making you feel like day-to-day life takes less physical energy than it used to"

It really ought to also be expanded into getting good sleep and making sure you’re feeding your body the nutrients conducive to increased physical activity! And if everything really is causing you severe exhaustion or pain that won’t let up, you might want to pursue professional medical feedback because the exercise itself may not be the primary issue necessarily.

important addition i forgot that not everyone might know. similar to how ao3 bookmarks work, you can also link to non-ao3 fanworks using this format. so, for instance, if theres some fanart on tumblr that inspired you to write the fic? you can link that fanart to your fic!

hello allo person in a fandom. let’s play a game. in front of you are two characters. your challenge is to okay and you’ve already started shipping them. well the crusher machine is going to activate now goodbye.

hello self proclaimed multishipper on tumblr. let's play a game. in front of you is an aro person venting understandable frustration about how 99% of fanworks and fan discussions in every single fandom always center around romance, regardless of whether or not the character in question would realistically want to date anyone. your challenge is to okay and you've already started calling op a violent anti. well the crusher machine-

fucking disgusting that nobody cares about actual children

Actually, no, I don't think that friendships dropping like flies in your late 20s and early 30s because no one has time for that between overwork and family obligations and marriage and kids and partners and the ritual of the time slayer is normal and ok. No I don't think deep conversations and spontaneous adventures being replaced with a tired coffee every six months is a normal part of growing up. I don't think that emotional intimacy and soul bonds disintegrating in the face of practical inconvenience is a fact of life. I think that means something is deeply deeply wrong with our society and I will never forgive it for the friends I've lost

does anyone have that 4chan post about the guy who got like. deradicalised from being an incel because he started taking care of shrimp?

thats the one! thank you!

I think of shrimp guy often and I hope he and his shrimp are doing great and if I ever meet him I would love to ask about them

People on the internet love to criticize work posted by Some Guy like it's made by Disney Studios, and talk about Disney movies like they're made by their personal friend Amy, who is just trying her best,

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.
