oh hey that me!

the most essential part of a fandom are those people who immediately tell you to write it, draw it, make it when you share your ideas, you have no idea how many fanworks are born just because someone encouraged it

another great way to make sure this continues is pressing the reblog button and going insane in the tags

Being crazy about a piece of media for any amount of time will leave a weird mark on you forever because years later you’ll see someone posting something about it like “can we talk about this frame” and you’ll be like “ah that frame. i know all about that frame. I was once a scholar of that frame.”

am always obsessed when someone says to a character “call off your dog” about another character.

The Ojibwe nailed it. Wawa is exactly the right name for a goose.

WTF this is masterful, 10/10.

Other people have said this in notes, but the Bulwer-Lytton contest involves writing the most absurd opener you can think of and submitting it to the contest. It's not a judgment like the Razzies or the bad sex in books award or something; it's a game. Diana Murtaugh of Baltimore is to be congratulated for this win.

show percy literally does not earn anything i said what i said. everything he knows about greek mythology, sally fed to him as opposed to him learning on the go. each of the kind acts he performs, it’s because he remembers something his mom told him rather than because he identifies with being abused and marginalized SINCE HE DOESNT FUCKING EXPERIENCE THAT ONSCREEN. from the get-go, percy kills alecto without having to move a fucking muscle. instead of struggling through the grief annabeth experiences in her sirens’ vision, he’s simply just too fucking cool and Boyfriend to see anything else other than annabeth. the show having no stakes doesnt just mean no tension in the story, it also means no gratifying payoff when something comes to pass. how am i supposed to feel roused by percy rallying the camp for battle in the s2 finale when we’ve never seen him have any fleshed out interactions with the camp as a setting and as a population save for an obligatory one-minute montage. which is also why they NEED TO BE CASTING SIDE CHARACTERS.

Actually, no, I don't think that friendships dropping like flies in your late 20s and early 30s because no one has time for that between overwork and family obligations and marriage and kids and partners and the ritual of the time slayer is normal and ok. No I don't think deep conversations and spontaneous adventures being replaced with a tired coffee every six months is a normal part of growing up. I don't think that emotional intimacy and soul bonds disintegrating in the face of practical inconvenience is a fact of life. I think that means something is deeply deeply wrong with our society and I will never forgive it for the friends I've lost
