to be clear, I believe younger artists and minors can write good fics (not to say βfanfic must always be goodβ either because it is a hobby and I still believe that as long as itβs done with love and the artistβs joy, it is good) and I believe itβs good when younger artists and minors start making art at young ages.
that said, a lot of fanfics out there that you read and love are done by adults with kids, jobs and responsibilities. adults who have years, decades of practice under their belts. adults who donβt let life and responsibilities take away their joy in creating.
someoneβs love and passion donβt suddenly go away the second they reach a certain age. so if anything, I feel sorry for people who say βadults shouldnβt write fanfics or make fan artβ because what these people really say is that they expect themselves to stop having fun and finding comfort in things that bring them joy and comfort the second they reach a certain age. itβs sad that they put an expiration date on their own fun and source of comfort.
having being anti death penalty as one of my core beliefs is fun because it really makes me realize how even progressive people want soooooo badly for there to be a category of people they can kill. I'm sorry but "group of people okay to kill" does not exist.
I'm going off of vibes more than concrete examples for this one... but... I was rewatching "The Incredibles" (2004) while working on something and I really appreciated that the movie didn't feel a need to... stop and explain the basic concepts of superpowers, superheroes, or any of the golden-age / silver-age superhero action tropes that the film is playing with.
Like, I would say that the film is both in direct conversation with classic superhero media and stands alone well. The movie DOES serve as a perfectly introduction to its genre, because it's a well-written movie that introduces all of its worldbuilding elements pretty clearly, but it also... it both moves pretty fast, operating under the assumption that you are roughly familiar with superhero media already, and doesn't seem to feel the need to justify itself.
People have flashy powers and improbable secret identities and silly costumes and superspy technology, and it's just... there. That's how this world works. It doesn't matter how Mr. Incredible or Elastigirl developed powers or started fighting crime or built relationships within the community, because that's not what the movie is about; that's the starting line. While the movie pokes fun at many of its own spec fic elements, it also hits the ground running, trusting the audience to catch up to "this is an established superhero" as it establishes the film's relevant problems.
I don't know. I feel like I've watched more than a few live-action superhero movies that I'd describe as "scared of their own basic concepts" and treat the audience as incapable of easily digesting the idea of some guy having superpowers or fighting big scary guys, as though that's not one of the oldest concepts on the clay tablets or in oral storytelling traditions. And so these films VERY slowly handhold the audience through an origin story. I'm bored of that; especially since it's been 22 YEARS since "The Incredibles" kicked off in medias res.
Maybe this is a criticism that I'd extend to speculative fiction generally, including fantasy. Like, it's a damn dragon. It exists in this world. We get it. Everyone knows what a dragon is and it's really not hard for the toddlers to get it too. Tell the actual STORY now, please. "Once upon a time, there was a dragon," is not by itself a good story.

I am so utterly fascinated by βSakiβ, the 18-year-running mahjong manga in which you, the reader, become gradually, frog-boilingly aware (over the course of nearly two decadesβ worth of mahjong tournaments) that none of these girls are wearing underwear and most of their boobs are slowly expanding.
I need you to understand that I have, like, an anthropological level fascination with this comic. From the perspective of someone who is also a comic artist and writer, two things delight me about it:
the fact that I understand completely how an artist gets from βthe fans can have a little hint of skirted asscheekβ to βthe pussy is completely out on center pageβ over the course of 18 years; and
the way in which the pussy being out is treated by the characters and diegesis as being utterly unremarkable.
Okay. Point 1. The frog-boiling.
Let me put this in perspective for you. There was already a meme about how the characters in βSakiβ donβt wear underwear when I was in middle school. I am thirty now. Okay? And itβs still going.
In the time since, this has stopped being a joke. It is now indisputable canon. This is not because anyone outright says it at any point. Itβs because the underwear ran out of places to hide. Iβm obsessed with this thought: somewhere in the over 20 volumes of βSakiβ, there is a panel in which underwear was objectively deconfirmed. And it would be so hard to figure out where that panel actually is. Maybe the artist didnβt even realize it when she drew it! The frog? Boiling!!
And of course there is also the breast expansion. I donβt know how to put a spin on this. They are just expanding. Like, this happens a lot with artists: you define a character as being, in your mind, βthe one with the big boobsβ, and over the years you emphasize that trait further and further so that the signal doesnβt get lost in the noise. Itβs just that normallyβin like a wildly popular manga series about mahjong published by literally Square Enix, for exampleβnormally there would be a point at which the boobs stopped getting bigger. Like, an editor would step in or something. Or you would get to the point where you cannot draw the character in the same panel as her mahjong tiles without her breasts spilling over the tiles, and youβd go, βWell, this is now untenable.β
That did not happen. There is no ceiling. The frog is soup.
Point 2. The complete and utter mundanity of all of this.
Itβs like this, okay: thereβs no shortage of trashy ecchi manga out there. Thereβs a million other comics doing wildly bawdier things with wildly more improbable bishoujos.
The vibe with βSakiβ is different.
Itβs hard to explain this, but it feels like the world of the comic is fundamentally uninterested in the fanservice happening on the page. I cannot describe it as βleeringβ, because I cannot conceive of a person in the story from whose point of view one would leer. I think the artist is probably into itβI canβt imagine anyone is making her do thisβbut βSakiβ the comic has no opinion on the matter.
There are essentially no male characters in βSakiβ. Like, there was one guy? Kind of? At the very beginning? But he is gone now. They put him back in the toybox. He does not exist. It appears to be some level of canonical that in the world of βSakiβ, almost all humans are women. Those women are sometimes romantically into each other. According to comments the artist has made on Twitter (which I cannot source), they have lesbian baby technology, so itβs no problem. Itβs so much not a problem that the story is about mahjong, instead of any of that.
So, like, the fiction here appears to be this: this is the, like, meta-narrative of the fanservice of βSakiβ, right: itβs just normal that they donβt wear underwear and their boobs are arbitrarily big. Itβs been normal. It was normal before the story of the manga began. Itβs just how things are. Nobody bats an eye about it, and if they do, itβs in sort of a lesbian kind of way so like whatβs the problem, we love lesbians here. This is literally normal for girls.
The fanservice simply diffuses into this all-encompassing aura of disembodied, ambient sluttiness. The framing of the panels demands you acknowledge it, and the story demands you already be over it, because itβs mahjong time now, and weβre playing mahjong.
Do you get??? why Iβm so fascinated??? Are you not a little enraptured???
Anyway, I have no idea how to end this weird post. I guess the conclusion is that women stay winning????
I have so many questions... How does one SUSPECT a manga character isn't wearing underwear? Like, sure, boobs are front and center amd you can see them get bigger panel by panel but how does this work for panties? Are there just that many upskirt shots?
Also how do you keep a manga about Mahjong going for 18 years, what??
This is about the sexiness of The Golden Girls but I really feel the need to remind the world of how fucking progressive this show was.
In the episode 72 hours, we find out Rose may have contracted AIDs during an emergency gallbladder surgery.
Rose: Why me, Blanche? I'm tired of pretending I feel okay so you won't say, 'Take it easy', and I'm tired of you saying 'Take it easy' because you're afraid I'm going to fall apart. Dammit, why is this happening to me? I mean, this isn't supposed to happen to people like me. You must've gone to bed with hundreds of men. All I had was one innocent operation.
Blanche: Hey, wait a minute! Are you saying this should be me and not you?
Rose: No! No, I'm just saying that I am a good person. Hell, I'm a goody-two-shoes!
Blanche: AIDS is not a bad person's disease, Rose, it is not God punishin' people for their sins!
In Isn't it romantic? we find out Dorothy's childhood best friend is a lesbian who recently lost her partner. She confesses she has feelings for Rose. Rose turns her down but makes it clear that she still wants to be friends even though she doesn't return those feelings.
Sophia: Jean is a nice person. She happens to like girls instead of guys. Some people like cats instead of dogs.
Jean: Rose, about last night. I should never have said anything.
Rose: You only said what you were feeling.
Jean: It's just that this last year has been so difficult for me. Pat was the person I planned to spend the rest of my life with. And when she died, I just felt so terribly alone. Empty. I thought I could never care for anyone again. Until I met you. I just got very confused. I hope I didn't make you uncomfortable.
Rose: Well, I have to admit that I don't understand these kinds of feelings. But if I did understand, if I were, you know, like you, I'd be very flattered and proud that you thought of me that way.
Ebbtide's Revenge gives us Phil's funeral, and Sophia addressing him wearing women's clothes.
Rose: So what if he was different? It's okay that you loved him.
Sophia: I did love him. He was my son, my little boy. But every time I saw him I wondered what I did, what I said, when was the day I did whatever I did to make him the way he was.
Angela Petrillo: What he was Sophia, was a good man.
Sister of the Bride, where Blanche's brother Clayton brings his boyfriend to town, because they're planning on getting married.
Blanche: Oh, look, I can accept the fact that he's gay, but why does he have to slip a ring on this guy's finger so the whole world will know?
Sophia: Why did you marry George?
Blanche: We loved each other. We wanted to make a lifetime commitment. Wanted everybody to know.
Sophia: That's what Doug and Clayton want, too. Everyone wants someone to grow old with. And shouldn't everyone have that chance?
There are so many episodes I could sit here and quote but this show is still so important. It isn't perfect, there are jokes that definitely don't land that I will not sit here and defend, but in the context of when it was created? This show is a fucking masterpiece and deserves respect for that.
wow you have dogshit taste (remembers im trying to be nicer to people who like different things) uh i mean, it's beautiful how the breadth of human experience is so wide it encompasses those with good taste and those with dogshit taste

It's hard finding club wear when you're fat because everyone assumes you have an ass and tits. No bitch I need you to give me some shit for people built like Thwomps
Stores are either like "Oh you must be built like a snowman" and assume you have HIPS or they're like "Oh if you're fat you probably don't want your wretched form perceived by the masses, here is a Clubbing Toga" like no I need to appeal to the Thwomp-fuckers. They're out there and they need me
"going out to get milk" is a common turn of phrase used to describe a man abandoning his family.
the "milkman" is a common figure in stories depicting a woman's infidelity and adulterous affair.
this implies that the ability to provide milk would both decrease the likelihood of a man abandoning his wife and children, as it would eliminate the need for leaving to get milk AND would secure that man's marriage, as his wife would have no need to seek milk from an extraneous source.
therefore, all men should produce milk, through various means such as:
- being a cow
- being an almond
- being a woman
- being a coconut
- being in the omegaverse
- being an oat
(list is exemplary and not finite)
in this essay, i will redefine the nuclear family and explain the seductive and inflammatory nature of the 1993 "Got Milk?" commercials.

Carefully explaining to my elite catgirl infantry for the fifteenth time that polearm unit tactics only work if everyone in the unit is wielding the same polearm. One of them showed up with a Bohemian ear-spoon. Where did she even get that.
