b99 is more culpable, actually

all cop shows are propoganda, but most cop shows are made for 18-49 white men who’re scared of face masks

b99′s target demographic, however, is young, queer and racially diverse. b99′s target demo is all the people who’re the most vulnerable to police brutality. b99′s target demo is all the folks who absolutely should never be lead to believe the way to view the cops is the way you view jake fuckin peralta.

You have to start noticing things. The direction of the rays of sunshine, how it touches and warms your skin; the sway of a leaf in a mild breeze; the simple beauty of the flowers; the strong smell of your morning coffee; the wind in your hair and on your face; the liveliness of the city; the calm of your soul. You have to start noticing this and start living for it.

this video is like every facet of what it is to be a cat, all at once

some of yall never paid attention in english class when you were supposed to learn basic fiction writing structres and it shows

i just saw a tweet about someone having to “endure” their fave not getting “narrative priority”. if you don’t understand that stories typically have a main character (or two or three, sometimes more but rarely) that a narrative centers on and secondary characters who are used to help build that narrative and think that that fact exists to hurt you personally, at this point i don’t know how to help you. read a book

It’s deeply bizarre to me to come across people who seem to think all fiction is fanfiction. Like, not in the way I sometimes gripe about, where it seems like fanfiction is the only thing someone cares about, or I have to read another post about how technically all the great literary classics of history were actually just fanfiction, but where someone reads a story written in the style of…… a story, and is really annoyed that it isn’t structured like a fanfic. Like, fanfiction is by its nature derivative. You… you have to have read or watched SOME source material to interact with this medium at all. Awareness of the difference between the forms seems like it has to be baked into the entire fanfiction premise, like how do you write and read exclusively fanfiction if you don’t have at least an instinctive awareness of the differences between it and the source material that make it enjoyable for you? How does that work?

#look it’s early morning #but i think we need to have a serious talk #as a…. community-like….. thing #about how in the end the dominant fandom group is the otherkin #they won you guys #in the old days we called them soulbonders #people who believed their favorite fiction was literally happening #in an alternate reality as real as our own #and authors/creators had a magical window into a world where they watched events happening #and just recorded them #this mindset won out #this is how the children approach it now #this is why all the discourse is premised on the idea that fictional people are real #and can be harmed like real people #WAKE UP SHEEPLE #THE OTHERKIN WON

oh and since I’m acknowledging how young you all are: never ever ever ever ever ever under any circumstances alter your educational decisions for a boy 

Even if it’s your father.

Especially if it’s your father.
