titles are superfluous

Yami Yugi: You know what they say. Yami Yugi: "Go big or go home" Yugi: I’m begging you, Pharaoh. For once, go home. Yami Yugi, whispering: I’m going big.

i'm going to be honest, i was shocked when i first read a scandal in bohemia to learn that irene adler appears in only one story. all she wanted to do was BE FREE to be with her HUSBAND who she LOVED and YET so many modern adaptations decide to drag her back in to be holmes' love interest. they saw one woman that sherlock holmes NEVER EVEN had a real conversation with and decided that she must be the love of his life, ignoring the ENTIRE first paragraph of the story about her and also everything about sherlock holmes. i honestly thought she was a recurring character in the original novels because of how much emphasis is put on her in adaptations (likely to distract from the tangible homoeroticism between holmes and watson that, no matter how they try to delete it, simply cannot stop appearing in their scripts)

Yeah sorry I can't come into work today. I accidentally heard Primadonna by Marina formerly of and the Diamonds. So I need the day to be a primadonna girl. Yeah it's going to be the whole day.

yeah yeah rainbow capitalism is bad and whatever but like. when I was a child, being pro gay was not the popular or lucrative choice. I'm happy that times have changed.

I miss rainbow capitalism. I do. I miss when it felt like public opinion was still pro gay. I understand it was always an empty gesture, but it mattered in a sense of knowing how socially acceptable being queer is. If that makes sense.

It was always a thermometer, not a thermostat, and I’m begging people to understand that.

I think a lot of people would benefit from unlearning the idea that casual sex is inherently disgusting, harmful, or immoral just because they personally don’t want to partake in it. You can stand up for sexual safety and consent without acting like people who enjoy fucking strangers are degenerates. I take no issue with anyone asserting boundaries or stating that they’re not interested in certain kinds of sex or even sex as a whole. But when you condemn or express disgust at others for engaging in consensual sex, that’s when you start to sound like a puritan.

Btw, this includes self-proclaimed “feminists” who shame and lecture women for giving men “access” to their bodies. Bodies are not commodities and sex is not inherently transactional. You don’t lose anything by having sex on purpose with a person you find attractive. Sex is not some metaphysically transformative thing that bonds you to the other person forever. It is literally not that deep.

i feel. like on a fundamental level. i do not understand x reader fic. i am not exactly opposed to it because let a thousand blossoms bloom etc. but like. i genuinely don’t get it. it seems like the exact opposite of how i engage with fiction. like the whole point is that i’m not in there. i don’t wanna be in there. if i’m in there it’s going to be very stressful.

the best fanfiction you've ever read was written by a woman in her 40s before she made dinner for her kids. it was written by a teenager after school when they should've been studying for a history test. and a barista came up with the idea while they cleaned the espresso machine and busser fact-checked it on their break and the post-doc edited between writing grant proposals and the nurse apologized for typos in the notes after a long shift and behind every drabble and one-shot and multi-chapter fic there is a person with a wonderful and interesting and chaotic life and it is such a privilege that we get to be apart of it because they decided to do this thing we all share, for fun.

gonna resurrect this one last time just so everyone knows that i predicted gamergate
