Depths’ Dumpster Fire

Obviously the worst depiction of orcs is the classic "they're all evil" version, but I'm still dissatisfied with the slightly-less-worse "orcs seem like warlike savages but! they have a culture of Honor™" version. I think the problem, other than the fact it's sort of a cliche for fictional "warlike" races, is that it's usually just an attempt to patch over the bad implications, without really exploring or questioning what ideas went into building the original archetype in the first place. Why were they designed the way they were? What are each of their classic traits meant to suggest, and what do those traits actually mean in real life? How might our misunderstanding of other cultures have impacted the worldbuilding there? What are/were those cultures really like? Which stereotypes are false, and what cultural traits might they have that feel unexpected? In what ways are they relatable? Who are they apart from violence? Who could they be?

got a crick in my neck and a frog in my throat and a chip on my shoulder and a stick up my ass and now you're gonna stand there puttin words in my mouth? haven't I been through enough?

Let’s fucking go

the human brain is so cool, if you're tired and stressed enough, your brain will go, "don't worry, I got you" and shadows will start moving

and what's the genital situation on the shadows

oh this is my post

They also specifically contacted members of the leather community, used them as models iirc, and donated $100k to Outright International. They talked the talk and walked the walk and put their money on it too. I don't really care that I can't afford and don't want this merch, I love to see my community getting the respect it deserves. Levi's said, "We make jeans which gays wear lots of jeans? Oh leather daddies? Let's call them."

The old school lack of transparency on tumblr is amazing because you assume the people you follow must all be equivalent to you and then you see someone write “I brought my youngest to college today” and someone else write “my mom wouldn’t let me listen to Ariana Grande when I was a kid” and then your head explodes

and we need that! keeps us humble. 

Then I'm just like WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU’RE AN ADULT

It goes the other way, too, because WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU'RE A CHILD?!!

I'm 16, that's like, barely a child

I'm in my 30s. You are baby

I'm older than both of you in a trenchcoat.

honestly one of the best things we can do for ourselves is realize that people of different ages than us can still be the same kind of person as us. it's humbling and it gives everyone involved a sense of continuity, and it busts those stupid generational stereotypes media is so fond of.

From now on this is how all petty fandom disputes should be settled.

happy 125th birthday to bunny roger

(he did not precisely invent capri pants- Sonja de Lennart did, and they popularized them together)
