Stoker's Spooky Corner

The thing about the No Money On Ao3 thing is also not just the legal questions attached to it, for me it's also the part where it's kinda like rocking up to the neighbourhood's solidarity no-charge bring-what-you-can cookout with your 30 bucks-a-snack micro-cuisine food truck because it's 'where the crowd's at'. It doesn't matter how good your strawberry foam fries are when you're standing next to the free vegan Gulaschkanone, that shit's picture book villain behaviour.

And like. I think we can all agree that none of us would have a problem with local restaurants showing up to the solidarity cookout, as long as the stick to the two rules of 'no making anyone pay anything at the solidarity cookout' and 'no overly aggressive advertising'. Like!!! You're welcome to come! You're even allowed to put up a little 'btw on thursdays I'm at the craft market :)' sign. You just can't demand payment and you can't put up your regular menu. Is that so hard.

make that trio polyamorous

guy on a work call just accidentally said “have a nice freak-end” instead of weekend and now i desperately want that to be the new meme. have a nice freakend everybody

long distance friendships are terrible what do you mean I can’t hug you or sit with you or lay on your floor when I’m bored what dO YOU MEAN

i wonder if im known for anything as a mutual

I want to do that thing caterpillars do with the coccoon. I don't even want to come out different I just want to lay down and be warm

they turn into goo inside their cocoon:)

it probably feels awesome

the most valueable skill a white leftist can ever learn is how to take an L with grace.

You gotta be able to take an L if your moral and ethical belief systems are to be capable of guiding you. Otherwise you just have an idealized self where you get really mad and scared when anyone points out it isn't actually you. How the fuck are you gonna walk the walk if you can't handle being told when you are not, in fact, actually walking it

you cannot just socially transition into being a good person you are going to have to settle for being a messy human being who has to try and fail and keep trying to get better like everyone else. yeah even when it's embarassing and sucks for you a lot.

Ya gotta learn to earnestly and honestly say "Oh shit, my bad."

And to then end the sentence there, not launch into a paragraph of explanation or panicked super-apology.
