#oh this place is HAUNTED haunted

NOW it’s serious

This is the supernatural equivalent of going to the doctor and they keep pulling specialists in the room to go, “wow, I’ve never seen THAT before”

Every time I see this I lose my marbles I love it so much. "For some reason I yelled who is in here as I was falling" is the point where my soul leaves my body. God I love.

WHOS IN HERE ANAHAHABAHAG

*I paint the Villain’s hand red*

Villain: Wha-

Me: I CAUGHT YOU RED HANDED!!!!!!

{Immediately squished to death}

Ooh, what’s this? Pallets I spent entire night making to probably never use in a drawing? Yeah, I do that.

Send me a number and/or a name of the pallet + character, if you’d like me to draw something. You can use these pallets in any way you want as well. Tag me, maybe. I’d love to see what you do with them.

hyperfixations are so scary like yeah this could be a month long thing or i might be thinking of it everyday seven months from now. no way to tell

And even when a hyperfixation ends there is always: The Resurfacing™️

Will it be a year from now? Five years? Ten years? And what will trigger it? No one knows, but still the old hyperfixation lurks, like a creature prowling through the forest of the mind, waiting for the right opportunity to strike again.

All the gays right now

Please don’t let fandom ruin something you love. Walk away and unfollow the fans and enjoy the thing by yourself, or find a limited circle of people who ignore the discourse, or get your irl friends into the thing and collectively ignore the Internet community, or blacklist from here to the moon if you need to and only ever scroll through your rarepair ship’s tag on AO3. But don’t let fandom distort a show or a movie or a book or a comic you used to love so badly that you can’t enjoy the original anymore. Please. It isn’t worth it.

TONIGHT

TONIGHT

Tonight!!!

TONIGHT!

TONIGHT!

Ferrera said it felt like she filmed 500 takes of the speech over the two days of filming, adding, “It was probably 30 to 50 full runs of it, top to bottom. By the end, [co-star Ariana Greenblatt] recited the monologue to me because she had memorized it because that’s how many times I had said it.”

Bitches be like ‘I’m so tired and sleepy’ and then stay up doing hyperfixtation shit for the next 5 hours

They’re so confident about the imaginary content-restricting version of libraries that exist in their heads.

When I was eleven, I checked out weird ass fantasy romance erotica on my library card.

I went to the library. I asked the librarian where the books were. They led me to the section. I picked out the fantasy romance of my choice. They asked if I needed help checking it out. I said no. I checked it out. I read it.

No one can stop you from reading anything at the library. No librarian will tell you not to read a certain book. They might suggest a book to you, but they won’t tell you not to read anything.

I read fucking Game of Thrones when I was like. Twelve. I read weird gay genderqueer shapeshifter romance when I was about fifteen. There was never any kind of “age gate” or censorship from librarians. I don’t know if it’s different in America, or if things have changed for the worse in the last twenty years, but I’ve never encountered any kind of system which prevents kids from reading whatever books they please in libraries.

I never tried checking them out, but I used to go grab erotica books and read them in the library, there’s not like… a wall. they’re on the shelves.

Okay person whonactually works at a public library here. We are specifically instructed NOT to comment on or even mention what people are checking out unless the person brings it up to us first. And I have had times where parents or kids will ask me if I think a book is appropriate which I will then give my opinion on, but I would check out whatever a kid brought up to me if that happened. Also, we let kids go wherever the fun they want, but they mostly stay in the kids are cuz there are toys there. But we are not policing every single kid to make sure they’re staying in the “right” place.

Also, the conversation about restricting kids access to “inappropriate” material really bothers me first because what really counts as inappropriate and how do we apply the same standard to every person ethically (answer: we cant), but second because I think it’s pretty patronizing to actual kids. Kids are smart, and I know a lot of adults don’t get that, but kids are really intelligent and most of them will be able to identify things that are uncomfortable for them. So the experience of exploring and finding limits and interests is a healthy thing that all kids should have the option to experience in a safe environment like (hopefully) a library

Anyway. Just some thoughts from the perspective of a library employee

Another public librarian here.

My old library system (30 libraries) had gotten a number of complaints from older women that the DVDs were not clearly marked as adult. For reference, we have the “adult” (meaning not children’s but ranging from pg-13 to R) on its own shelf and all of the “childrens” movies are on the other side.

So the technical processing team decided to start sticking R-18 labels on anything that was rated (R or NC17). And like we were a month or two into it before our collection manager threw up her hands and said, What the fuck?

Essentially, the problem was that we had a bunch of older women (moms and bitties included) saying that they didn’t want to watch adult movies (or they wanted to make sure their kids weren’t checking them out)

But NO WHERE was a policy saying we were to restrict checkouts. If a 6 year old handed me IT or Django, they got it. Even post stickering.

So our collection manager was pissed because she finally realized what was bothering her. Not only was the rating ALREADY ON THE FUCKING BOX, (on the back, where it ALWAYS is), but now people were using this as an excuse against library purchasing because you could see how many “evil adult” movies were on the shelf.

So we promptly took all the stickers off, circ went back up, and we then calmly explained to the bitties where to find the rating on the back of the box.

This is all to say that my CM took the Right to Read (watch/etc) super seriously and made sure that we all knew that anyone could check out whatever they wanted and if they wanted to file a complaint they could.

Long story short you don’t say SHIT to anyone regardless of what they check out. AND that includes giant tatted dudes checking out the entirety of our Barbie collection. No one is too old, too young or too anything to check out what they want at the library.
