Yes My Name Is Mycroft

white people will literally be like if u arent nice to me Im going to become a nazi. and think they’re making a great argument

this stupid shit has been around for so long and it’s crazy to me there are still people with enough rocks in their brain to believe it. “Oughhhhh if you aren’t nice to you oppressors they’ll become bigots instead of allies” if someone’s support for marginalized groups hinges entirely on whether or not that group is niceys, they’re by definition not effective or useful allies and, by admission of this argument, an active danger to the communities theyre supposed to be allied with because they can Enter Bigot Mode the second they become displease

perhaps some will disagree, but i think the world got worse when we changed the colour of the night

ALSO! red light doesn’t fuck up human night vision much so you can go in and out of lit areas without readjusting

i legit miss red lights in cars and appliances n stuff. red city lighting is goated

“in fanfiction where you know a lot of people who have gone through the same things you are writing about will be reading, you have a moral obligation to write things thoughtfully and with care” i don’t think i have a moral obligation to do that actually. i think i have a moral obligation to write the story in my heart no matter how distasteful or nasty or thoughtlessly it comes across. i think that the #victim status of my audience has no fucking bearing on my moral obligation to do anything. and i think your assertion that you can somehow tell when the author is “writing things for shock value” is crazy and your moral posturing over incest rpf is beyond the pale

to get triggered by fanfiction is fine. to get triggered by certain depictions of topics close to home is fine. but that's not the writer's fault. even if they didn't tag it. even if they didn't content warn. there is no "fault" there. you ran into something that triggered you and that has literally nothing to do with the writer who made it. it's your responsibility to deal with your own reaction to art that upsets you! it is not the writer's responsibility to make sure you don't see it or that they write it in a way that doesn't trigger you! your feelings are not morally relevant!

overheard in the coffee shop from a middle aged gay man to his (female) friend: “are you embarrassed? about being foolish? please manage yourself better in this situation. this man is not behaving as if he is interested in you.”

“he’s evil. like jeff bezos. Do you understand.” and she’s just nodding with eyes downcast in shame

i forgot to add this until now but after the gay guy was done scolding his friend and they left, their table was taken up by an aging european twink telling a wealthy-looking bubbe with increasing distress about how much cold cut meat he’d eaten the night before and the funnier she found it the more distraught he got about his nighttime deli frenzy

he was like [completely unidentifiable european accent] after you went to bed. i ate ze ham. and ze mortadella also… and. also the prosciutto. no stop giggling at me zis is not funny it was 500 grams each. i ate 500 grams of ze ham and 500 grams of ze mortadella and 500 grams of ze prosciutto and that is ONE POINT FIVE KILOGRAMS OF MEAT !! I ate so many meats!!! Stop giggling at me i am going to be fat!!!! I even ate ze cheeses!!!

so many people are tagging this with some variation of “that coffee shop was full of such interesting people i wish i could go somewhere like this to people watch” and as a seasoned eavesdropper i need you all to know that people are this weird wherever you go. recently my gf and i were observing a gaggle of real estate broker bros hopped up on stimulants pacing around like caged tigers and performing homoerotic rituals through the proxy of their iced lattes and it wasn’t even 10am on a tuesday. the world is a beautiful place full of intricately bizarre human animals waiting to be studied

Do I actually want to write this fanfic or do I just want to wallow in the delicious daydream like a pig in the mud?

Unfortunately I wish for others to wallow in my magnificent mud pit

thank you for the magnificent mud pits, fanfic writers
