Cherry Bombastic Gender Elastic

If I were a cat I’d let you pet my tummy and I wouldn’t bite you well maybe a little but not very hard

truly from the bottom of my heart i hate the level of enshittification etsy has reached because it's still the best place to buy patterns for my hobby and every time i go scrolling through endless ai-generated bullshit to finally dig up a human-designed pattern i like, i'm hit with a deluge of 'popular!! 563 people are looking at this right now!! it's in 134632 baskets!! you must buy immediately!!!' it's a pdf file. it's a fucking pdf file. do you get off on trying to give people fomo over a fucking pdf file. fuck off. get diarrhea forever.

and that's not even touching the ai-generated patterns with hundreds of 5-star bot reviews that are stupidly easy to spot if you know what to look for. but most beginners don't know what to look for, so they're straight-up scammed into buying based on a nice picture. then their 'hey, i made this and it looks nothing like advertised' comments get buried under hundreds of 5-star bot reviews, and this is how someone who might have otherwise discovered an interesting and fulfilling hobby drops it, thinking the pattern's fine, everyone else likes it, so it's on them for not being good enough. it pisses me off so much, you have no idea.

everyone says “cumplane truth serum” this, and “qijiu truth serum” that. what about binghe getting the truth serum?? where are those fics??? he has no crucial information to reveal, but BY GOD is he going to give everyone an aneurism talking about how he’s honored to prepare his shizun’s baths because he thinks there’s a small chance he might get to see his shizun naked.

Okay okay specially him getting truth serumed during the trial, going on and on about how much he loves Shizun and how he would steal Shizun’s laundry to sleep with it and smell it and maybe dry hump it a little bit and he’ll FUCKING MURDER anyone that touches Shizun INCLUDING LIU SHISHU, and then he finishes with breaking down in tears about how Shizun hates him Shizun thinks he’s gross and evil because he’s a heavenly demon and now Shizun will never want to touch him and kiss him and dry hump him a little bit because he’s a gross icky demon. And now their problems are Different.

there are four human activities and they are crafting, stories, math, and fucking around. whatever you're doing is at least one of those four.

gotta be a term that isn't the dunning Krueger effect but is a kind of similar idea where the more deep scientists get into their topic and the more exhausted they get, the more likely they are to find stupid ways to describe things

this post brought to you by a bunch of coral specialists at the end of a workshop voting to define coral, a complex animal, as "a rock with problems"

what's that one thing where they asked how ripely from alien was so realistic and believable as a female character in scifi for once and they were like "well we just took the dude from the original script and made him a girl and changed nothing else. it works bc men and women are the same?" and people were like "woah no way" and then didn't learn anything from that for 20 years

"how do you write such believable men as a woman?" "how do you write such believable women a man?" and the answer people who are good at it always give is "i just write people. were literally the exactly the same. do you think the opposite sex is some sorta totally different animal???" and people respond "woah that's wild. yea i do. and im not gonna stop thinking that goodbye :)"

I can always post worse

and more pervertedly

they love me because I be saying shit like alas and perchance

last night I said 'how fortuitous' unironically

Grace being aroace is so important to me. Especially during that scene where it’s stated that Grace is not married, doesn’t have kids and doesn’t even own a dog. It goes to show how incredibly excluded and expendable we as aroace people are seen in the eyes of society. Grace is a teacher, he’s actively assisting the future generation but yet that isn’t seen as nearly as important as conforming to societal norms.
