those mountains are older than Saturn's rings and they want to blow them up and hollow them out for cell phone batteries

i think that soy sauce fish and honey bear must be the very very best of friends

the television program buffy the vampire slayer is absolutely nooootttttt about the power of friendship. its about the tragedy of being surrounded by people who are too uncomfortable with your painful reality to be willing to meaningfully engage with you

being the slayer is a terminal illness that grosses everyone out if they think too hard about it

there's this weird thing people fall into online a lot, where people assume that if the [perceived-to-be-inferior] version of [activity] is discouraged then people will, naturally, do [perceived-to-be-superior] version of [activity] instead. When really it's just as (or more) likely that if [perceived-to-be-inferior] version of [activity] is discouraged people just won't do it at all.

audiobook listeners are not necessarily people who would otherwise do a lot of traditional reading if audiobooks did not exist, many are people who simply would experience zero books. Booktok romance readers would not necessarily be reading the classics if booktok did not exist, many of them would simply not read. Fanfiction writers would not necessarily be novelists if fanfic wasn't an option, many would just be people who didn't write. You know?

if you think about it making your readers picture stuff in their heads is lk noncon and problematic

okay but this is Vladimir Nabokov's whole schtick, he'll say some shit about the reflections or the bedsheets and you'll go "Oh you greasy fucker you just made me imagine what must be going on to cause that to happen" and he'll rub his hands and go "He he he he, bring meee more butterflieeeeees"

You know, when I've remarked that a lot of the responses to my posts feel like people are just plucking out keywords they think they recognise based on the shape of them and replying to what they imagine the post says based on that, the possibility never occurred to me that this is actually how many American schools are currently teaching kids to read.

Like, my assumption this whole time has been that when folks go "I misunderstood this post that says [thing] as saying [unrelated thing] because I mistook [word] for [completely different word that happens to start with the same letter]", that was a bit. What do you mean they're teaching kids a reading method that's tailored to produce this exact error?

tights fuckers are out there operating on levels of perversion the rest of us can only dream of. half those motherfuckers are hornier about light and transparency than they are about toes

there's some dude on pixiv right now doing generational work rendering precise fabric grain and angelic translucency whose work should be studied in art classes 400 years from now who will die forgotten because he's doing all that in the service of a picture where you can juuuuust barely see the pattern on a girl's underwear

to be clear he's a hero and this is an injustice

sorry i never replied. everyday is blending together and i'm losing sense of time

"it's inscrutable" maybe to you it is. I scrute it all the time
