i'm just, fucking, tossing bikes in the river, bruh

I’m going to be honest I am annoyed about the influx of fic turned book that’s been happening the last few years. Not every hobby has to turn into a hustle. It also feels disingenuous and like you don’t actually care about fandom and the fanfiction community and it’s just a workshop for these authors. Also I think it’s hedging closer and closer to a crackdown on fics because so many of this books are being marketed as former fics, it’s making this line blurrier and blurrier and the very thin shield that Fair Use has to protect fic writers could easily be stripped. Idk it just feels yucky and nasty to me personally

one argument you often see about fanfiction is that it's like 'training wheels' writing? like 'oh it's fine to do that while you're still learning, it's easier than coming up with your own ideas'. and I have to say I have just never agreed with that.

the BEST THING about America is that one of their timezones is called mountain time. i cannot tell you how funny that is to me. it sure is always time for mountains in one fourth of america

you can tell trans women are women because we're not allowed to be sexual but also everything we do has sexuality imposed upon it

you can tell trans women are women because we're not allowed to be angry

you can tell trans women are women because everyone else thinks they know our bodies, our minds, our experiences, our lives, better than we do

you can tell trans women are women because governments keep trying to legislate away our bodily autonomy

not every piece of art centered on a straight woman is "hetslop" and at some point it becomes misogyny to dismiss art abt women with that term

Amazing moments in Dads: my friend’s dad’s critique of Frankenstein was, “I just don’t think the author had read science fiction before.”

he's right but at what cost

Understanding that there is no objectively good art has many benefits, but a favorite of mine is being granted the ability to see that you hate corporate memphis for the same reason people hated fruitiger aero ten years ago, and that people will like corporate memphis ten years from now for the same reason you like fruitiger aero now: because it's the opposite of the thing that's in popular use right now, and reminds you of being ten years younger

all you new fandom members need to QUIET DOWN oh my god you're going to get us KILLED. we're happy to have you but if you keep talking about BULLSHIT like PUBLISHING fanfic for MONEY, Anne Rice is going to come back from the dead to KILL US. looking at YOU, maurauders fans, heated rivalry fans, byler fans...out here giving out interviews to news channels SHUT UP. we're going to have to start setting off firecrackers to keep the rent down.
