ββI think it is a very good thing for the masses to know that in carrying out a revolution they have not conquered the heavensβthat they had not won the heavens when they reached power. What we inherited was really hell.β βIt is very important for the masses to know that well being is not just around the corner, and that imperialism and capitalism did not leave us a garden of Eden or paradise. Paradise has to be built; built with work. That is one of the lessons we have learned.ββ

Okay I donβt usually post stuff like this often, but please, please, pretty please stop using AI when making fandom content. Itβs so prevalent in The X Files community and it genuinely disturbs me. Please, for the love of god, stop.
@calimanc I loved these tags so much I'm reblogging this again:
#you do not have to justify taking up space in the fandom by 'creating'#you can leave comments on fics and like and reblog fanart and gifs and meta#you can talk to people and share your thoughts or just gush#you do not need to bring ai slop here so you can claim to be an artist or a writer#your value as a person does not derive from what you can produce#you are enough#free yourself from the capitalist frame of mind that says you can only be here if you are contributing a product#your enthusiasm is a better contribution than anything you ask ai to make for you#using ai is extremely alienating to the human people in the fandom who work hard to make art to share#and also to the human people who show up in the fandom who are just excited to be here and to see the amazing art people are making#don't abdicate your humanity just because you feel like you don't matter if you aren't producing something
It's so true, though. Fandom needs people who create things, sure, but there are SOOOOOO many ways to do that. And fandom also needs people who participate in other ways, like commenting and making rec posts and reblogging stuff with interesting tags and just generally reading things and looking at things and sharing them around with other people to say, "Hey, wow, how cool is all of this?" Fandom isn't for capitalism and it never was. I know everything is monetized today - people charging for their Patreons before they'll finish a story, companies making merch that sells out in two seconds because people buy it to resell, concert tickets for stars who can't sing, all of that - but fandom is SUPPOSED to be a gift economy community, where we share and share alike. You don't need merch to be in fandom. You don't need to show up at this potluck and bring something. You just need to say, "I really liked this, thanks!" about the things you put on your plate. It's not about consumption. It's not about production. It's about joy and sharing and playing together in this big sandbox.
And AI is like shit in that sandbox. Nobody wants a turd.
gender essentialism is soooo funny bc it's like "this is what women are like" and you're like "I've met women and many of them, if not the majority, have not been like that" and it's like "well women SHOULD be like that" and you're like "why should women be like that" and its like "because that's what women are like"

Rewatching atla episodes for Reasons and I just realised that Zuko found Appa the night after he found out he was missing. The gaang have been desperately searching for, what? A few weeks? And Zuko sees a poster saying Appa is missing and just squares tf up and finds him immediately.Β What a fucking madman.Β
#this is why they put him in charge of the Fire NationΒ #there is nothing Zuko cannot find up to and including his countryβs long lost sense of morality
i mean he had already managed to actually find the avatar, whom literally the entire world (except katara lmao) had believed was dead and gone forever. im pretty sure if zuko decides he is going to Find Something the universe rearranges itself to put it in his path.
This comes in handy when he has kids.
Dude literally found:
π₯The avatar
π₯Appa
π₯His lost uncle via a sweaty sandal
π₯A secret civilization thought to be long gone
π₯The last 2 dragons existing
π₯Katara and Sokkaβs Father plus Suki
π₯Kataraβs motherβs murderer
π₯His honor
π₯His entire nationβs honor
I mean the dude was wild. He was born to find stuff. I donβt really know if he found his mother but likeβ¦that too. You kinda get why the Gaang saw Zuko and thought, hey what if we use him to find stuff?
He absolutely found his mother. And I cannot believe I am only just now noticing this whole concept.
Also while he took years to find the avatar, the avatar was in ice basically that whole time. Once the avatar had been freed from the ice Zuko found him IMMEDIATELY
actually I think you should be normal about ordinary citizens of authoritarian countries and yes that applies even to that country you're thinking of right now
"but they support [dictator] and [violent action]!" okay is it possible that a combination of propaganda, election rigging, and authoritarian crackdowns on dissent could lead a population to look like it supports something most people would find distasteful under more reasonable circumstances
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.
in my experience it's actually pretty common for newbie fanfiction writers to gravitate towards coming up with OCs rather than writing about the canon characters (hence the infamous Mary Sue); this suggests that many people find that 'easier' than attempting to write about pre-existing characters.
I would say that recreating the characterisation, mood and general vibes of an existing work of fiction is in fact a skill in and of itself that's acquired via practice. A common compliment delivered to fanfiction writers is how well they have captured the spirit of the original work. Inexperienced fanfiction writers fail to do this.
When creating an original character you can, ultimately, say anything about them and now it's canon bcos you created them and you said so. conversely, well, if you are covering a well known song and start playing the wrong notes people will notice immediately.
In addition: a lot of fanfiction, IMO, is in actuality a form of metafictional literary analysis. a story where two characters sit down and talk about their feelings about a canonical event? literary analysis, which is of course a skill. Sometimes fanfiction is bad bcos the writer is not good at interpreting texts.
finally I have made this point before but you never really see anyone suggesting that fictional works based on existing public domain texts are on 'easy mode'. is it 'easier' to write something based on a copyrighted work than a public domain work? Of course it isn't.
I know I said 'finally' but I forgot a point:
A major strength of the transformative work is its ability to create dramatic irony. If a fanfiction's emotional resonance is dependent on being familiar with the source material that's not necessarily a bad thing. sometimes it's a sign that the author has done a really skillful job of engaging with said source material.
I've said this before, but "fanfiction" is how storytelling worked for most of human history, and intellectual property law and the idea of characters being literally "owned" is new and weird.
When you hear a story about a Guy, wanting to tell a story about them is the most natural thing in the world. That's how mythology and folk tales happen.
IMO the idea of fanfiction being "bad" or "cringe" as an artform is related to how activities have to be profitable to be considered valuable, but further than that it is related to how "owning" is considered to be preferred over "caretaking" or "stewardship" where you do not own, you just participate
I believe ultimately it is an outgrowth of land ownership vs. land stewardship to be quite honest... a consequence of our culture

Every time amber heard gets brought up as the butt of a joke I am obviously expected to agree with and accept, I face this internal battle. Like itβs often this aside in conversation where I donβt want to derail the larger point, depending on the person. But also. Did you know it was a civil case? Did you know she was sued over the op-Ed about dv that did not mention Depp by name? Did you know about their age gap when they first met? Did you know about his extensive, and expensively suppressed, history of violence and abuse? Did you know about the perfume in the bathroom during the trial? Have you read The Gift of Fear (and thus know that certain abusers prolong abuse within the courts)? Did you ever consider that the inundation of reels and other short form videos during that joke of a trial, was by design? Did you know I donβt much use Facebook, or YouTube, but whether logged out or logged in, all my suggestions were cruelly mocking her?? Did you know about the Saudi money? Did you know we all have a predisposition to savage women? Did you know we are all excited when we have an excuse to direct misogyny towards a rationalized target? Did you know expressing misogyny is conditioned to inherently feel good? Did you ever wonder if you fell for a scheme on a scale beyond the comprehension of the ordinary individual, within scope, expense, and effort? Nah sheβs probably just a bitch.

Nearly pissed myself laughing earlier when I saw this absolute Looney Tunes truck attempting to transport an oversized mattress down the road with only a couple tiny bungee cords holding on for dear life, while it ballooned out behind the truck like a drag racing parachute:

nasa is using a 3D world graphic for the solar eclipse thingy today where germany is still devided in east and west adjfglkafdhgadfg. buddies, it's been almost 40 years.
So I showed this to a physicist and they were like "Oh! Yes! It's a figure from Fred Espenak's very old paper where he did a bunch of eclipse graphics! I've been looking at these my entire internet life, basically, for every solar eclipse! They called him Mr. Eclipse. He just passed away recently π₯Ί"
Anyway apparently Mr. Eclipse made 5000 years' worth of solar eclipse graphics, which you can find the simpler versions of here
So now instead of laughing at NASA for their outdated graphics I'm emotional about Mr. Eclipse and his hard work
