Rant and memes under the cut:
i'm confident in my ability to write and draw, but sometimes you'll catch me dropping some banger story analysis (i don't usually bother cause i assume everyone already noticed the underlying themes and that the stuff i see is just obvious). my specialty is starting things and not finishing them. I never fall in love, but i sure do fall out of love a lot!
my mouth filter is permanently fucked up, and i am so so tired all of the time except when i'm enthusiastic and volatile!
I love words and their definitions, i love every color of the sky except that fucking post, i love space and i love the ocean. I will talk about fandoms i know nothing about, and i do want to hear about your blorbo. If i didn't respond its because i got eaten by the vortex. it happens multiple times a day, so be ready for that. never be afraid to follow up on something later, because if you don't i might take multiple years to respond! yes, seriously.
I love blocking people! I'll do it over basically nothing and it's lots of fun! it's called curating your online experience babyy. im here to have a good time!
every once and a while ill go through the entire tag of something and reblog posts until i hit my post limit. it's lots a fun and youre along for the ride! (I try to throw some of them in the queue but ehh)
now! prepare yourself for a sequence of banners that are the entire reason I made this post (as in. i made a pinned post just so i could have cool banners)
Please note, the banners were chosen on vibes alone and also i love lying.
Ended up making a bunch of images so that the Caine banner I stole off @/hugsohugs would have friends. Oopsie

I don't understand how cis people obsessed with gender norms think trans people are the weird ones. they're going around believing that your name has to correlate to your genitals. your fashion has to correlate to your genitals. your behaviours have to correlate to your genitals. your hobbies have to correlate to your genitals. who you date has to correlate to your genitals. whether you can put sparkles on your eyelids or not has to correlate to your genitals. and then people like me go "hmm. I might not do that. maybe I'll just do what feels fun and okay instead" and they LOSE their MINDS

I just think somewhere in the discussion about verbal abuse we went from "anger is not an excuse to harm the people around you" to "any expression of anger is harmful" and it is quite frankly part of why the idea of a perfect victim has been allowed to perpetuate. Conflict is not synonymous with harm and anger is not synonymous with abuse. I'm kind of infuriated that I even have to articulate this.
āmonsters in the backroomsā is still such a funny concept to me
āhereās a space thatās odd and makes you feel uniquely alone, like no one has ever been here before, but donāt worry, we put a critter in here because we thought that was boringā
like that last paragraph is exactly what I described; an author overplaying their hand because they donāt grasp that the space being empty is far more interesting than anything you could possibly put into it
there's never enough money each month. there's always an unexpected illness. new symptoms pop up or old symptoms flare up. meds have to be managed always and refilled constantly and any refill has the opportunity to go wrong. any regular care has the opportunity to go wrong. any mistake can send your health spiralling. it's always "i just need to get through this bad patch" but as soon as one ends another begins. another crisis begins in the middle of the last crisis. managing one thing leaves another thing to be neglected until that becomes a major issue and has to be managed asap and the cycle starts anew over and over and over
Speaking of medieval history, it's fun how the popular accounts are all "the peasantry disliked nobles, but typically loved the King and attributed any harmful decisions to bad advisors", and then the rare examples of surviving testimony from actual peasants are like "I hope the King literally explodes".

I keep seeing the take that authors on AO3 need to stop deleting their fics and instead to orphan them without any explanation of the consequences of orphaning a fic and as an author I really need to say something to this.
Stop telling people to just orphan their fics.
Orphaning a fic means giving up any and all ownership over it. No way to claim it back, edit it or delete it. Yes it's an archive but an author should still have the right to delete their work if they feel like they don't want it to be up anymore.
Readers always scream for authors to orphan their fics instead of deleting because they feel like they have a right to the fanworks that is shared with them for free. If it's so important to you to not lose a fic, download it. Also comment and encourage the authors, instead of telling them to give up all ownership to their work.
To authors, if you think about deleting your fics, there are other options you should employ first. If you don't want it connected to your name, put it into an anonymous collection. As long as it's in there, noone can see you wrote it, you still can edit ot or delete it and moderate comments on it. You can even move it to anther account, just create another one, add it as co author and then take your main account off. Then you can still edit it from your second account but it's no longer connected to your account.
If you don't want it to show anymore put it in a unrevealed collection, that way, the fic won't show up but it's still there, you can still see it, read comments and make it public again.
If you feel the urge to delete your fic, try one of these options first and see how you feel about it after a while, you can still delete or orphan afterwards, but this hopefully makes your decision easier.
Only orphan a fic if you're 100% sure. This is permanent, there is no way back from that, AO3 support will NOT help you if you did it on accident or change your mind. Don't listen to people telling you to just orphan it, make very sure, this is what you want.

tagging/content warning systems for media are often mocked outside of fanfic which is kind of too bad because i do think it'd be a really interesting vector of literary analysis to examine what the author or publisher thinks they should be informing their audience about vs. the actual content of the media in question
tagging my work devoid of any explicit sexual content as "dubcon" and sitting back to watch people fight over what i could have meant by this like i'm a roman emperor watching gladiators being devoured by lions in the coliseum
