hey do you ever think about how the entire Concept of identifying as a fictional character is seen as this massive fucking joke and fictionkin communities have had their terms stolen and bastardized by people who dont respect them and fandom spaces are incredibly hostile to us and. and. do you ever think about it

As of yesterday, I highly recommend making "$0 White Elephant Gift Exchange" a new year's tradition. Standard rules (everyone brings an unmarked gift, in random order each person picks and either unwraps a gift or steals someone else's gift and that person picks a new one. bonus Stealing Round encouraged) but it can only be something you already own and want to get rid of. Perfect for post-Christmas when you have no IDEA what to do with the stuff you've just gotten. I offloaded a whole ton of candy I don't want and the happy recipient passed it around the whole table for us to snack from. I got a Bundt pan from the newlyweds who had no intention of ever using one. Three packs of Jonas Brothers pens are on their way to someone's very serious government job. We have cranberry juice now. A Sims 3 Supernatural Expansion Pack case had $10 in it. No one went home unhappy.
