Not being tied to one fandom means that you can find exactly what you want when you want it. I've been reading in Heated Rivalry for a while now, but today I felt like reading a fucked up obsession fic, but I don't want that dynamic in my HR fics. Luckily, Hannibal is always just across the aisle on AO3 for all my unhealthy obsessive relationship needs.

what feels distinct to me about Terry Pratchett work is even though he’s a comedy writer and he’s more or less poking fun at things all the time, he also knows how to let his characters be sincere and to respect their emotions when the story requires that
like, oftentimes he shies away from writing big dramatic emotion and tends to pull back instead, but you don’t get the sense that the character isn’t allowed to feel it, but rather that the narrative voice is, idk, giving them privacy
i often don’t enjoy comedy writing because it’s hard for me to envision the characters having fully-fleshed-out relationships and emotions apart from the jokes and the humorous antagonism, because it’s not presented as happening on page without there being a punchline attached, but I don’t feel that way about Discworld
PTerry was a master at pacing and timing, for both comedy and drama. Because a story can’t be good if it’s all action, all the time. There needs to be quieter bits for it to work.
tired: mermaids are all women
wired: much like elves, merfolk are mistaken by sailors for being all women because they have long hair and are very pretty
inspired: merfolk actually have very different concepts of gender to humans because they’re an entirely different species with their own unique culture
marine scientist: what’s your gender?
merperson: what’s a gender
marine scientist: like, are you a man or a woman?
merperson: i’m merfolk
marine scientist: no, like, what’s in your pants?
merperson: i don’t… wear any? i don’t have legs?
It’s a biological fact that fish do indeed change their sex to keep the male/female ratio balanced in their school population. So this fluidity actually makes more sense from a scientific standpoint than the silly idea that merfolk are born with a strictly assigned sex like humans.
Merfolk are all canonically genderfluid and we love them for that
Human: (invites merfolk friend to a boat party with their friends)
Merfolk: oh man, there are a lot of women here. Haha don’t worry guys, I got this :) *changes into a man to keep a balance because that’s culturally polite for merfolk*
Human: (spits drink) what the FUCK
OH MY GOD
So in the presence of a ship with an entirely or mostly male crew, nearby mermaids would become female to keep the balance.
That’s it. We figured out why everyone thinks merfolk are all women. Get a boat of fems out there and let’s see what they report.
Bosses and Coworkers: you've got a great work ethic, going above and beyond
Me: I am literally just doing my job. Everyone else is slacking off.
Everyone Else: (magically knows somehow the secret amounts of work the boss is actually asking of them, which the boss cannot tell anyone for Reasons)
There always seems to be a gap in instructions (from bosses, parents, teachers, friends, whoever) between 'required' and 'expected', and this gap is:
invisible
never explained
always a different size
you have to guess the size
if you guess wrong you either get Praised or In Trouble
At least on 'the price is right' you know (because someone *actually told you*) that you are playing a guessing game and that there is an over/under mechanic and that the conquence of guessing wrong isn't a punishment or damaged relationship or getting fired
On an unrelated note my psychiatrist has given me a referal for a formal ASD evaluation
This post is about the neurodivergent frustration of having to deal with neurotypical authority figures who don't say what they mean but I love the pro-union labor-rights energy I'm seeing in the notes
idk i just feel like "it is more acceptable and in fact encouraged to mock anything enjoyed primarily by women" and "being enjoyed primarily by women does not make thing feminist and righteous" are thoughts that can and should coexist
oh and also "even if the thing is bad your criticism of it can come from a place of patronising misogyny"

i like when you see a little lizard go skittleskittleskitter and then stop & do some push ups
in almost every other children's book where the main heroine is swept away to a land of whimsy she's shown having a lovely time; braving dangers occasionally, trying to find her way home, sure, but ultimately delighting in the magic around her. meanwhile alice spends her entire time in wonderland like
look, here’s the thing: alice in wonderland’s enduring fucking charm is that it perfectly captures the vibe of being a very tired and annoyed child who is nonetheless required to play along with adult nonsense.
alice is dragged from place to place without warning, forced to play stupid games with no good prizes, grilled over her schooling and manners and recitation and dress, scolded, judged, insulted to her face, sent away, given gifts she didn’t ask for and doesn’t like, corrected incorrectly, been subject to shifting and arbitrary rules, and then when she gets snappish with all this bullshit everyone acts like a little girl’s temper is the end of the fucking world.
alice in wonderland isn’t a drug trip or a nightmare or a metaphor, that’s just what being ten years old is LIKE. that’s why kids love it so much. even if they can’t quite articulate how, they recognize themselves in it.
I'm gonna go ahead and add - the reaction image is barely even a joke. This is the original illustration of her at the Mad Hatter's tea party.
look at how fucking angry she is
doodling up a weird little selkie. not in possession of its sealskin at the moment! mad about it!
When a small mammal scrunches up and cleans its face and whiskers with its little hands very rapidly. I just wanted to give you that thought for a moment did u like it.
Idk how many of yall are in the loop but tiktok has convinced thousands of people that if they do particular hip stretches that itll magically heal their childhood trauma and because none of these people stretch regularly and are forcing their bodies to do things theyre not used to in hopes of reaching this unobtainable goal so many of them are pulling muscles and nerves in ways that would make even a public school gym teacher wince
"Trauma is stored in the hips" simplistic pithy sentence meant to describe the accurate phenomenon where people who've endured lots of trauma tend to hold their core muscles much tighter causing tension and pain which has been taken out of context to mean you store the trauma spirits in your hips and they need to be released
"These stretches can help you release" advice that is supposed to mean doing these stretches can help relieve the pain caused by said built up tension but has been transformed by influencers to mean that if you force your body into these specific and highly advanced positions that take weeks if not months of dedicated effort to do right that you'll no longer be traumatized and stop having all the symptoms caused by your upbringing
Damn this website sucks but I’m glad I don’t have to deal with that shit.
this guy takes a ton of those advanced flexibility routines and provides substitutes for different levels of mobility:

A German regional court has ruled that Google is directly liable for the content of its AI search overviews. According to the court, previou
Let’s fucking go
This is HUGE.
1. The court holds Google responsible for statements made by its AI, considering them Google's statements (search engines have limited liability for results in their engine as they're the words of other sites/companies/people), meaning when their AI lies/hallucinates they're liable for the defamation/harm resulting from those statements.
2. Google's defense that customers are generally aware of the lack of reliability and are responsible for fact checking was dismissed. As the court pointed out, that would "significantly diminish" AI Search's stated purpose and it can't be distinguished from Google's business practices/statements as a search tool.
3. Studies have found about 91% of Google's everyday AI responses are accurate, leaving millions of searches per HOUR with potential liability for falsehoods. 56% of correct responses weren't supported by the sources the AI listed. Both of which mean Google is now liable for a LOT more AI "errors."
4. Google was held liable for 80% of court costs in this case and this precedent is expected to reverberate around the world. This is a massive shift from the 3rd-party search provider role Google has previously played and it comes right as they've tied ALL searches to their AI search.
TL;DR Google reeeeeally stepped in it this time.
This massively helps the current antitrust investigation that was filed with the European Commission last year, and comes after the UK ordered Google (Alphabet) to allow websites, authors, and publishers to opt-out of using their materials to generate AI Overviews and for training purposes while also requiring them to properly cite their materials (which could be a hard thing to follow with how LLMs operate on weighted values).
getting scambot messages from random accounts that clearly used to be normal active blogs is sad enough. you know that there used to be a real person on that blog until they were tricked into handing their password to the digital fae.
but it's an entirely new level of tragic when somebody you've actually spoken to gets turned into a bot account. it's like peeking at a zombie apocalypse through the window and realizing one of the shambling corpses was your friend.
and then the zombie catches sight of you, lurches up to your window, and shouts through the glass that they accidentally reported your account to tumblr and you'll be deactivated unless you click this link.
RIP to the blog that used to DM me to tell me they liked my new chapters. Their last known words spoken before being turned, 17 hours ago: "Ggs!" They were praising someone's deadlift.
the message they tried to get me with is probably the same message that got them, so for anybody who hasn't already been warned about the signs of a zombie account:
if you get something like this ↑ they're gonna follow up by instructing you to contact tumblr support on discord and give you contact info; or they're gonna link a website that looks sort of like tumblr support and say you have to email them; or any variety of "you must now contact tumblr, here is how you contact tumblr."
whatever they send you, it Does Not lead to tumblr. it leads to the master zombie that bit them and inducted them into the ranks of the undead, and will bite you the second they have your email and password. i might be confusing zombies and vampires. anyway,
it's easier to fall for these messages because the blog doesn't LOOK like a bot blog, because it ISN'T a bot blog. it's a normal person's blog that got accessed by a bot, meaning the blog's content CLEARLY looks like a real active user when you click on it. and yes—it might even be a blog you already know. sometimes bots like this go down a blog's DMs or reblogs and message people they've previously interacted with.
they got one of my treasured followers, and they can get you too. don't fall for their tricks. know the signs.
mermay is long gone, but selkie june could be a thing, couldn't it? maybe selkie september would work better...
anyway, here's a little mermaid AU :D
The mile-long rainbow flag being carried down First Avenue in New York City.
“For New York City Pride in 1994 (Stonewall 25), Baker created a mile-long rainbow flag that was carried down First Avenue in Manhattan. During the parade, Baker used scissors to cut segments from the flag to be rushed to Fifth Avenue for an impromptu protest march in front of St. Patrick’s Cathedral, the headquarters of New York City’s anti-gay Catholic archdiocese.

"kink doesn't exist in a vacuum and deserves to be interrogated" okay. I interrogated it. I understand that kink and sexuality are inseparable from the socio-cultural context(s) of individual people and populations. I'm still horny about it tho
I interrogated it and learned I HAVE to get more fucked up with it.
OK, I interrogated it. Now you interrogate your kneejerk reaction towards sexuality.
*blind with lust* can someone interrogate me?
I love tumblr because somehow I can end up being mutuals with a celebrity (someone that wrote a fic that I loved)
