fandom tumblr was another casualty of streaming services. we used to be on here posting about the episodes that were coming out weekly and posting gifs and writing insane shit about the tv shows we liked. now a new season of a show will drop and we’ll talk about it for a week. two weeks tops. and then that show will leave collectively conscious for 1+ year till the next season drops. there’s a reason succession sundays was a blast on here

we used to have real television

I think that's the charm of Dracula Daily, it brings back that episodic format and we can all have fun discussing paprika for a few days. If you just read the book as fast as you can, you will probably not spend much time on that, or delight in 'lizard fashion'.

The “oh I could definitely write this fanfic in under 5000 words and it really wouldn’t take me that long” voice in your head is actually the devil speaking

Hey, you're just trying to write a story about this one thing, right? You just need one scene. It's a one shot. It's practically a drabble!

LOL

This applies to chapters, too, sometimes.

CASE IN POINT.

"I'm just going to have this quick little thing happen, and this little thing, and then they get to the temple and back to the main plot."

In a shocking turn of events they're still not at the temple and we're 4,198 words later.

Option 1: Zelda is an average teenager in a modern AU Hyrule. One day she accidentally awakens Link, a knight from medieval Hyrule who was magically sealed away a thousand years ago and thinks Zelda is the same Zelda he swore an oath to protect a millennia ago. Zelda has to help him adjust to modern life, and also evil has returned and they probably have to take care of that.

Option 2: Same as option 1 but flipped. Link is the average modern teenager who accidentally awakens a medieval Zelda who thinks Link is the same Link who was made her champion a millennia ago. Also evil has returned and they probably have to take care of that.

YOU SHAVED THEM?!?

Sending this post the bill for the hernia surgery I laughed myself into needing

🔹 Saying that it's okay to write or read about dark and taboo topics but only when they're portrayed in a certain way is still censorship.

🔹 Wanting to ban or forbid media that you believe portrays a negative topic in a positive light, by glorifying, romanticizing, or fetishizing it is still censorship.

🔹 There is no objective metric to decide if a story is portraying a negative topic the 'right' way.

🔹 Just because a piece of fiction doesn't explicitly condemn or portray an evil action in a bad light in the text doesn't mean the author thinks its good or is trying to persuade the audience that it is good.

🔹 Survivors of trauma will not always write fiction about their trauma in a way that seems 'right' or 'normal' to you.

🔹 Banning fiction because it portrays dark, taboo topics in a way you consider gross or disgusting is still censorship.

It should be a bigger scandal that J.K. Rowling is threatening to sue small accounts for accurately calling her a Holocaust denier. So glad the Streisand effect exists. Now we can all rebuke her reprehensible views more than ever.

The one good thing about the USA is the concept of free speech (even though it's often more of an in theory thing)

So I can repeat that Rowling is a Holocaust denying wretched bitch all I want.

that post about marine biology being a small field is even funnier if you know that the very night I rejoined this site, within Hours of my first post, someone on here was like “wait. I think my college class watched you do a porpoise necropsy last summer.” and they did yeah

my brain autocompleted reading necropsy as necromancy and i was like oh okay what marine biologist course is that?

doing marine biology you haven’t even heard of on cetaceans you’ve never seen

The final project is on Cthulu

There truly are many benefits to being a marine biologist.

Awesome growing trend

SOME VERY GOOD NEWS

Yes, very good news!

But the headline is a little misleading, as by "Investors" they really mean the Colorado Coalition for the Homeless, a NFP based in Denver that has been doing good things for decades.

The investment here is in people, not a profit-making pyramid scheme that rich assholes buy into then cash out later for $profit$.

Also, all of this happened in early 2020, as COVID terror was first stirring in the US. Good timing.

Anyway, found the article.

They're doing that here in St.John's too!

I work in gaming and do this all the time. I learnt long ago that no matter what games I name, when a guy demands I name what I'm playing, that they will shit on them.

So now I just make shit up when they try to "catch me out" and listen as they list how wrong I am and all the things wrong with something that doesn't even exist. It's a wonderful hobby and I heartily recommend it.

I love how you can always count on Wild for some chaos.

I did this with ml's canon longest day ever, but with @buggachat finishing BEAU, I think we need a new version of this...
