I will never watch Riverdale but I DO think it's funny that Archie Comics prohibited fan fiction for so long only to make the live action equivalent of My Immortal their new canon

& btw fruit Flies literally spawn spontaneously

you look at a fruit fly and tell me it's ever been anywhere else

but rin also technically confessed too, that in order for him to secure a future with haru where they could take on the world together by forever competing and swimming side by side he had to find a sponsor by focusing on one stroke so he can qualify on competitions 🥹

I know it's been talked about before but I still don't think it's been emphasized how *fucked* today's internet experience is for children. I didn't know what the word "discourse" was when I was 8, or 10, or even 13. I was too busy playing the nigh-limitless amount of flash games out there on the internet and making sure my neopets were fed. Like I cannot stress enough that if I had free time on the computer, 9 times out of 10 I could go and play a jaunty little game someone had whipped up and put out there for no other reason than that creating games was awesome and easy to do. Or go to some page that existed just to collect memes; you see back then there were more than 4 sites, and you didn't need accounts to visit them. I didn't get targeted ads. I wasn't exposed to any sort of political ideology. I spent a lot of time on the computer but no one site monopolized my time or tried to fucking manipulate me into using it more. The internet was for more than one thing back then, and honestly I don't think enough people realize how much has been stolen from us.
