theres an assumption that if an alien has an alien gender system they wouldnt understand homophobia but maybe they just have their own more complex version of homophobia. alien society with eight genders and a horribly complex web of what is considered socially acceptable that makes the gender binary look like easy mode. i'm inventing homophobia 2 and it's terrible.

I know it’s not a 1:1 but this is kinda like Europeans with racism. Americans get a lot of shit for being racist, and we are, but Europeans are advanced racist. Not to say there’s no colorism in Europe, but every once in a while I’ll chat with someone from Europe who’ll say something like “I’m not racist like you Americans! I just don’t think the French should be allowed to reproduce, Albanians can’t be trusted to do your taxes, and the Welsh should be killed and harvested for organs.” and it’s like “I’m not sure what that is if it’s not racism, but I can’t deny it’s different.”

People come to my like "why don't you support [game], it looks like it's right up your alley" and [game] is a title with $170 USD worth of DLC.

person w adhd experiencing symptoms of adhd: why the fuck can’t I do this thing . I wish there was some explanation for this

your strengths are harder to see than your weaknesses because the problems you're good at solving don't appear as problems, because you're so good at handling them before they become problems... unlike the relatively rare problem that becomes a crisis, which demands undue attention. it's sort of like a reverse survivorship bias. the problems that become noticed as problems, the moments where you notice your capacity has a gap, are only the ones that aren't cut off at the pass by your strength and capability, before they become problems. so if all you focus on is problems then all you'll see is your weaknesses. which isn't accurate

i do not “delete sentences” when they start “hindering the plot” i COPY PASTE THEM into a SEPARATE DOC made just for keeping all my USELESS LINES that i will also NEVER USE so therefore i should JUST DELETE THEM but i DONT because id FEEL BAD if i did

You don't actually have to kill your darlings. You can just put them in the oubliette #myoubliette

they just announced all women should eat 4 meals a day and at least 2 nice snacks. they made it the general consensus

I don’t think there’s anything inherently wrong with relating to characters, “they’re literally me” etc but if that’s the only way you engage with stories you’re kinda missing the whole point of Characters being vehicles through which we can see perspectives outside of our own. and also you’re going to get upset when the Character acts in a way that is not Personally Relatable to You

doubly for shipping. at risk if biting the hand that feeds me, a well written fictional relationship should ideally be more than a didactic template for how to have a nice relationship

tumblr user who listens to bands like the beatles, chooses kindness, considers themselves to be anti-war, fights for the liberation of marginalised groups, advocates community resources and free services etc. you’re not a punk. you’re a hippie. and that’s okay.

I was unironically telling one of my best friends a week or so ago that more people need to like the idea of being hippie instead of mislabeling themselves as punk. Radical kindness is a hippie thing, not a punk one! Plus, if the hope is to be subversive and push against conservatism, as someone else said, your average conservative will be probably more offended by a hippie than a punk

i dont want to be in a fandom that critisizes the choices of fictional characters like they are human beings. i want to see THEORY and ANALYSIS and STORY STRUCTURE and CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT!! I WANT PARALLELS AND MOTIFS AND VISUAL CUES!!! They're not REAL they are TOOLS so stop acting like they are people who made bad choices and should be punished. of course they made bad choices!!! that shit is funny and cool to watch!!

This is the COOLEST thing I’ve seen in AGES. You both completely made my entire week.
