No, Calvin was right

Calvin was 100% right.

You’ll notice Miss Wormwood didn’t disagree, just gave him advice on how to handle the pain.

i hope you write (i hope we both write)

Bloopers are movie aftercare and it’s fucked up that we got rid of them

possibly (ironically) made this post before, but murderbot really cptsd rep of all time for the memory wipes. you do not have to remember it for it to have shaped you. you needed to Leave and you do not know why. something was dangerous. something hurt. the body remembers, the body keeps the score, and you don't want the specifics but maybe you do, sometimes, maybe you want to be able to brace for the flinch. your long list of things you have inferred happened based on the shapes of your scars. ask me how i know this would hurt like this. (do not ask me. i cannot tell you.) (i cannot tell myself.) (this message is a warning about danger. this place is best left shunned and uninhabited.)

The problem with having OCs is that sometimes you wanna read about your little guy being in situations but unfortunately he is YOUR little guy and no one is gonna put him in that situation but you. Tragic.

the fact that Reylo discourse is now almost entirely 'is this ship toxic :)' always throws me off so much because I genuinely think the MUCH bigger issue with Reylo was that it pushed a black man to the side as Not Love Interest Material in favor of a white nazi. Like the issue is that shipping Reylo arrived transparently because people did not care about the black man – which I know, because the ship became popular before we even had The Last Jedi! When they'd barely interacted! If Kylo were black and Finn were white, Reylo would not be popular and it would never have become canon in any way, and I do think a refusal to grapple with that is honestly very embarrassing.

Stitch is still being harassed about this btw.

"You can't ship those characters because they have a problematic height gap" well, strictly speaking we can't ship one of them. The other is well within the size and weight limits of most domestic parcel couriers.

Reblogging this as I periodically do because it’s still relevant (especially with so many new writers coming into fandom spaces who are SO ENTHUSIASTIC but maybe need some pointers?) and because I myself need the reminder. Wherever you are, Res, I hope you’re doing great.
