I found an interesting thread on twitter about how fandom puts the well- being of fictional characters above that of actual abuse victims and I wanted to share it cause some of y'all really need to read

I spy, with my little eye, a photo that was faked by an AI image generator! Can you spot the clues?

FB is turning into a parade of fake AI images churned out by click-farming pages. More misinformation is on the way. Learn some tricks for spotting AI photos!

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It pisses me off that AI is used for bullshit because this would be a genuinely great image in horror media. AI's lack of logic does surreal shit that human artists probably wouldn't think of. Imagine you're playing a computer game and you're walking down a road to no sound but the wind and it's beautiful but you already know from the game that things are Wrong and you look away from the rainbow to notice that the road signs read nonsense and the streetlight is oriented away from the road for no reason. And then the car with the mirror image number plates shows up and the driver offers you a lift, and it's not until you're climbing in that you notice how many fingers he has and how identical all the teeth in his smiling mouth are.

honestly nothing for me will top the energy of BTS photos/videos of horror movie monsters/demons/creatures/etc in full makeup just hanging out… like

energy….

I’ve got some favorites from Pan’s Labyrinth to add

And some misc ones

If sexual activity between same-gender people became illegal, the police would be the ones enforcing those laws.

That's why police are not welcome at Pride. Pride is for unconditional supporters, not for those who would become enemies as soon as they're ordered to.

I feel it's important to amend this with "if sexual activity between same-gender people became illegal AGAIN, the police would be the ones enforcing those laws AGAIN."

They did it before and they'll do it again. Gay sex was only made legal in Texas in 2003. I was at a sleepover at my best friend's house when it happened. We could hear the celebrations from the bar district down the block. We were 14 and both knew we were queer.

So yes, they're not welcome at pride because they'll turn on us in an instant. But also because cops who have been cops for a while full-on were against us only NINETEEN years ago.

And yes I know that's just in Texas and other states have different histories but I'm not even that old and I remember when being gay was illegal. When any relationship I dreamed of having was illegal. And THAT is my bigger reason that cops aren't welcome at pride. Yes they will turn on us, but they already were against us and not-so-secretly still are.

A lot of those cops are still probably on the force and now brag about how long they've been there.

But it isn't like they've been spending all that time learning queer theory and trying to be less homophobic either.

Those same exact people will go right back to arresting us the moment that they are able to.

Cops are not and have never been our allies, they never will be.

Cops are not and have

never been our allies,

they never will be.

Beep boop! I look for accidental haiku posts. Sometimes I mess up.

IMPORTANT!!!

I’ve only seen like one person talk about this and it’s super important that this gets out there

Multiple punk symbols and sayings have been added to the FBI’s domestic terrorism guide

Things included are

Those are a few but it also mentions anything anti-fascist and anti capitalist

So if you live in the US please be careful

Oh my god thank you for telling me!

@safety-pin-punk idk if you’ve seen this yet but tagging you in case u haven’t

Hey what the fuck

NAZIS GO HOME IS A SYMBOL OF DOMESTIC TERRORISM????

I honestly and truly believe all good AUs should be a little “”””ooc”””” in the sense that good characterisation involves understanding that changes a characters backstory and circumstances will have an effect on how they respond to the world around them

Good characterisation isn’t about creating a perfect 1:1 canon replica it’s about understanding why a character is different in your work and about grounding the changes you do deliberately choose to make in canon character traits

This is so true! At their core, they should still feel like the original character, and the main characteristics should still shine through as they go through their own development and changes.

I think it’s crazy how im in love with all of them

This was a whole thread, here are some of my favourites:

hey this is the captain’s cabin!!!

scrubbing off 30 years worth of filth

Thought I've had this one here bc it's one of my fave pieces I've ever drawn and now I found out I haven't?! Fixed now.

:(

yes yes characters doomed by the narrative always slap BUT what about characters saved by the narrative? characters who have already given up hope and don't know they have a happy ending? characters who believe they are a lost cause, characters who feel irredeemable, characters who think there's nothing left for them, but the narrative does provide a way out? what about the characters who don't expect anything good, who don't even remember how to wish for it anymore, who get the things they need anyway? what about the characters who actively run from being saved getting saved in a way they can't stop or control. what about being saved by the narrative!!!
