it's my spam

i think the first female character who you love so very much but is treated absolutely horrifically by other fans really sticks with you for the rest of your life. me and sansa have an unbreakable bond because i was in the trenches when ppl were blaming a 12 year old girl for her father’s death at the hands of her abusers who she was stuck with. it’s me and her til death.

reading other comments on the fic you’ve just commented on is like. asynchronous book club meeting 🫶

if there was any justice at all in the world “every helen has her troy” would be an idiom (“every beautiful woman leaves a disaster in her wake”) and misogynistic renaissance authors would use it to describe hot women they didn’t like but, of course, inadvertently making her sound insanely awesome in the process. and then in modern times instead of talking about things being their hill to die on women could say “this is my troy to burn” and people on tumblr would be kind of horny about the whole thing and it would get incorporated into the whole “can yuo put that out on me” genre of posts. anyway just a glimpse into my beautiful mind tonight

80s misogyny saved the Star Wars galaxy because Darth Vader wasted all his time and effort trying to convince his starry-eyed gayboy empath son to become an evil space fascist when if anyone had any point asked his daughter “hey do you ever just want to KILL these people” she would’ve been shooing lightning out of her hands to prove a point in like 10 minutes

Just letting everyone know I’m reading a book right now. I also drank 7 glasses of water yesterday. Im not saying explicitly that I’m a better person than you, but it is heavily heavily implied. Heaven is going to be awesome!

The way society dismisses women's mental health struggles and men's mental health struggles may be somewhat different. However, it is incorrect to use that to conclude that women's mental health struggles are generally treated with more respect than men's

Like I get that it's tough to have a mental health crisis and have people tell you that "a real man doesn't act like that". Doesn't mean having a mental health crisis and being told "of course a hysterical woman would act like that, get it together bitch" is a privilege in comparison

Man, this fucking sucks. The march of time and the crumbling human body is a terrible combination.

sometimes people experiencing psychosis and/or mania will come up to you on the street and talk in confusing or upsetting ways. your job is to either have a regular human-to-human conversation with that person or politely leave. your job is not to call 911. do not call 911. you might kill that person if you call 911.

This.

Fanfiction is cool because you get to learn what other people's parents taught them the hymen is like

I know that I had somewhat unusually comprehensive sex ed but it still surprises me every time I'm reminded that some people genuinely think that losing your virginity is a capri sun kind of situation.

I've sent emails to ppl from x-files fansites that stopped being updated in like 2005 because I liked their fics and let me tell you the one person who did reply was ECSTATIC their fic was still being read in 2026 and sent me a bunch of pics of cool memorabilia they'd collected over the years

I have English language fics going back to 2008. If someone commented on those now... Okay, first I'd be mortified, because those seem really bad now, from where I'm standing. But I'd also be ECSTATIC that people still find joy in them.
