It’s crazy how Europeans spent centuries colonizing, brutalizing and destabilizing most of the world and when the people from the places they worked (and are often still benefiting from) to destroy and exploit flee to Europe, they’re baffled and enraged. Why would your NHS nurse be Nigerian? Hmmm. I wonder who the Queen of Nigeria was up until 1963. Oh, you’re mad your new neighbors are Pakistani? I wonder who the head of the Commonwealth was there until 1972. This is truly baffling.

I know litcrit isn't for everyone And That's Fine but god it makes me so frustrated when someone responds to a piece of analysis with "I don't like that and it makes me uncomfortable so therefore it's laughably wrong and you're crazyyyyy for saying it." the classic example of this is how straight people often respond to basic queer readings ("lmao they're literally just friends you're clearly a virgin loser who's never had normal friends before"), but I'm also thinking about how fan people on tumblr sometimes respond to analyses that imply unpleasant things about characters they like or vice versa ("that scene doesn't mean anything it was improv it was a mistake they kept it in by accident it's obviously irrelevant it's distasteful to acknowledge you're actually the weird one for bringing up something so fucked up"). in my ap lit class in high school we had a substitute come in on the day we were supposed to discuss seamus heaney's "blackberry-picking" and he got absolutely scandalized at a bunch of seventeen-year-olds telling him that this poem about picking blackberries had a lot of uneasy sexual subtext, he told us we had twisted dirty minds, then when our regular teacher came back the next day she said "yeah that's exactly what the poem's about."
I'm not exaggerating the "that's wrong and you're crazy" btw, I have been called specifically "delusional" for textually-supported litcrit a remarkable number of times. some people would genuinely rather try to gaslight me than sit with an interpretation of a piece of fiction that disagrees with them.
ao3 does in fact have a reccomendations tab and it's called going to your favorite author's bookmarks list
This is what it feels like when my fave authors on ao3 have over 200 bookmarks.

I have over a thousand.

I know how we can improve the yugioh tcg. You see, there's all this empty space in between the stupid extra monster zones that isn't being used. which I find to be an inefficient use of card game real estate. That is why I propose the following additions to the standard yugioh playing field:
First is the Extra Extra Zones. These are just extra monster zones but again. The unique orientation makes link monster arrows point in new and interesting directions and also makes it very confusing to tell if a monster is in attack or defense position. This is the ideal scenario in my opinion. As a pendulum enjoyer I think we should be making the game worse and more confusing on purpose for fun.
Speaking of fun!! You may have noticed the Fun Zone. Here are the rules for the fun zone:
Either player may play any card type to the Fun Zone at any time. Yes, this includes field spells and pendulum scales.
If there is already a card in the Fun Zone, the next card simply gets placed on top, without sending the card underneath to the graveyard. This begins the Fun Zone Stack.
The card on the very top of the stack is the one that is currently considered to be on the field. It can activate effects, do battle, and change position as is typical with respect to its card type.
All other cards underneath the stack are considered banished. Effects that rely on banishment can be activated and resolved from within the Fun Zone Stack.
Both players control the current on-field Fun Zone card simultaneously. This has very exciting implications!
Xyz monsters summoned to the Fun Zone instantly have all monsters in the stack attached as material, which is surely a balanced mechanic that will cause no serious issues.
A pendulum scale in the Fun Zone applies to both players. The convenient Fundulum Scale acts as either the high or low scale, turn player's choice. If you have your own scales in your spell/trap zones then you may elect to ignore the Fundulum Scale for the purposes of pendulum summoning.
I have not thought this through and it definitely shows, but I think with a little bit of playtesting we could have a real winner on our hands here, folks. Feedback highly encouraged especially if you can think of ways that we can make this worse. I may try to incorporate diagonally oriented cards in the future. Let me know your thoughts.

This is actually such a crucial part of healing from neglect and abuse and I have to add to this.
Because indeed, people who like you will not roll their eyes and sigh at the idea of accommodating your needs, they will value your voice and be upset with you about injustice done to you, not at you for "being difficult". They will be happy when you find a way to live a better life, and help you to get there. If you are struggling, someone who loves you wants to see you smile, not tell you to smile because "you have it so good".
A highlight in the history of uninvited cats on stage has to be the premiere of Rossini's Barbiere di Siviglia:
... during the finale, a cat arrived, and mingled with the performers. [Figaro] chased it from one side, it returned from the other side to throw itself at the legs of [Bartolo]. ... the audience imitated its meows and encouraged it to continue its improvised role.
Alexis Jacob Azevedo: G. Rossini, sa vie et ses oeuvres (1864)
digging up some old art from 5 years ago of another pair of doomed siblings…after mai died in the manga i just dropped jjk completely.
since they were barely together once they grew up, i've always loved imagining their childhood together.i wanted to reclaim those moments.
i'm generally alienated by the current atmosphere of calling characters "failures" and "pathetic," mostly because i like my characters hypercompetent, but also because i'm really interested in failure in fiction, from crushing defeats to partial wins to pyrrhic victories, and I especially like it when my hypercompetent characters can't or don't win (because the forces against them were too great; or because this was always a no-win situation; because they were outmaneuvered; etc). and so i find it really frustrating to see the character who made it almost all the way, against great odds, described as #cringefail, as though the fact that they didn't actually manage to take the world off Atlas' shoulders means that all their skill, all their work, all their strength, was always comedic, or worse, that they have no skill at all ("they're so bad at things!!") . and most of all i just think it's boring. there's so much more to any instance of failure than "haha, they just couldn't get it done," if we're willing to look.

I don't remember finding fart jokes particularly funny even when I was a child.
Five year old me, watching a movie with fart jokes: "Oh, how gauche. They're pandering to the lowest common denominator."
