The steps are echoing around him. It feels like his house, too big without his father in it and too quiet without the booming laugher of others echoing.
He has to keep going, Fabian thinks. The others are behind him, but only his steps echo there is no others.
we've all talked a lot about how infuriating it must be for kipperlilly that riz is too busy to be her nemesis this year but i think we're overlooking the fact that riz very much picked his own nemesis in the rat grinders and its not kipperlilly. that little man fucking hates oisin
I really think everyone needs to truly internalize this:
Fictional characters are objects.
They are not people. You cannot "objectify" them, because they have no personhood to be deprived of. They have no humanity to be erased. You cannot "disrespect" them, because they are not real.
I know this has good intentions, so I will just add the "how you treat them, even as objects of fiction, can speak about your own character, be careful out there"
Your addition is actually completely antithetical to my message. It is literally the opposite of what I am conveying.
Stop telling people to encourage the cop inside their head.
How you treat fictional characters, given they are entirely objects of fiction, does NOT necessarily speak to your own character, and you do not need to be "careful".
It is not dangerous to imagine dark things happening to fictional characters. It does not mean you are secretly a bad person. It does not mean you unconsciously want to hurt people in real life. It is not a "slippery slope" to doing bad things to people in real life. You cannot damage your brain or turn yourself into a bad person by consuming "dark" fanfic.
I can write tentacle noncon of my favorite character all day long and be a fierce anti-sexual assault advocate in real life because what I do in my head is not the same thing as what I do in real life.
These tags were too perfect to not include
Can everyone who reads this PLEASE reblog it?!?!? Libraries literally saved my life as a child!
Being abused at home, bullied at school and lost in the world, the library and all the books I could escape to the most amazing worlds, kept me alive!
I would walk to the library, and spend all day, from 10 am to 9 pm reading there!! I got special awards for how many books I read, I wrote little blurbs on why i loved the books (probably why I love to BETA and do ARCs)
PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE Just hit the green arrows and the reblog!!!
As a 50 year old woman, the library offers me so much. Digital art pads to borrow, 3D printing, book clubs that are face to face (yeah, the introvert likes face to face because a moderator will stomp on anyone getting snarky)
New books in LARGE PRINT! I’m visually challenged and as much as I love my kindle, The feel of a real book in my hands will always be a beloved feeling!
Our library also has quarterly books sales of almost free books!! For 5$USD we get in a day early and can buy as many as we want. Anyone else has to wait and there is a limit for the first 2 days.
Also many, many libraries have inter library loan(it may be called something different). This means if they don’t have the item you want, they can get it for you. This may include photocopy/pdf of articles. This can also include along with books and DVDs, microfilm/fiche which is also a huge resource. Check around for libraries that are listed as depositories if you want to look at government documents.
Remember that many colleges and universities have open stacks for the public. You will likely have to pay a membership fee but you will get to stuff.
I love the library ☺
The library was one of my favorite places to go as a kid and I still live to go and just. Sit and read. Or do homework. The university I’m at has a massive 8-story one I love to just wonder around in~ Great places
Libraries are amazing places, we need to protect them to ensure their continued existence.
I used to wander about the fiction section in my local library, and choose books with the most interesting titles - I discovered two amazing authors that way
If you feel disconnected from your local community & want to find ways to get involved, seriously consider spending some time at the library. Go to some events! Organize a reading group!
Support your libraries!
Read banned books!
People who don’t learn can be more easily controlled and told what to think!
Echoing @mathcat345, if your school has banned a book, your library will likely have it. Read it. Fuck censorship.
universities linking to mental health resources in their press releases about student encampments r so disgusting like they constantly pivot to “mental health” as the framework for presenting ideological conflict, people are “understandably upset” about “difficult topics” and then they link to suicide hotlines and social worker appointment schedules like the thing people opposing genocide and apartheid really need is a therapist. & I know this is nothing new like institutions use psychiatry as a tool of controlling and managing oppressed people everywhere but it’s just another reminder in a sea of a thousand reminders that HR offices are one of the frontline ghouls of this fucking death spiral of imperialism. all to protect the right to massacre children
sometimes I forget that I actually don’t like engaging in online fandom, I just like talking to people who talk about the same things as me
and then I scroll past 100 bad takes in a row and I remember and question why I continue to do this!!!
anyway blimey was silly and funny, ultimately mostly harmless fun, and what the fuck else were they supposed to do to oisin’s fucking grandma
Ok guys so we're going to all be good if we personally find the ending a little disappointing right? If the characters we want redeemed don't get redeemed or the characters we want dead don't die? That we understand that this is a collaborative worldbuilding experience and what the players do is what happens and if we are upset we always have fanfiction where what we want always happens, right guys? We're gonna be nice right guys???
As an Ally Beardsley whore stan these last few episodes have been right up my.. alley 😳
Yassified to maintain anonymity... James Somerton wants to be the lady at the airport who brought her own personal tube of mayonnaise so bad
His plagiarism knows no limits

We need to gatekeep d20
Can you imagine the conversation between Oisin and his grandmother?
“They invited everyone BUT us, granny!”
“Everyone but you? Absolutely not. Call the family and we’ll fix it.”
[and then they didn’t]
I'm kind of obsessed with all of the Rat Grinders' attempts to ruin the Bad Kids backfiring and making them cooler than ever. Force them to take the Last Stand? They become the first party to ever have a flawless victory. Send dragons to steal the election from them? They turn it into the most rocking party/music video ever (and kill your wizard's grandma in the process). And now you're giving them another chance to save the world when they're already 3 for 3 on cancelling apocalypses? Are you guys for real?
Ankarna’s corpse coming out of the ground (maybe because Fig’s claimed her domain)?
Fig going after Ruben as Wanda childa “I want to see you die fucking slowly??” Pop off queen
Fabian might be killing Ivy (“you had your chance at life” DAMN????); Brennan has a slight accent on his second “no” as he says it.
Nothing about adaine and Oisin mmmm? She better shoot him with Bill Seacaster’s gun it will be SO funny BUT she might’ve done that one spell that tells you everything about someone (or their residences and weakness)
Ivy Hunters Marking someone
Riz’s anger reaching the threshold and him screaming at someone. He says “you suck at this game.” (Oisin? Maybe Kipperlilly)
“Jace, I don’t feel good.”
The Bad Kids arguing about killing Mary Ann and Fabian just full on “we’re going to kill her.”
Porter picking up Gorgug (Brennan’s hand movements look like he’s holding gorgug by the shirt) and yelling at him; gorgug snapping BACK
THE TEACHERS ARE RAGESTARRED?? MAYBE?? Or they’ve succumbed to just mindless rage???
Porter’s entire speech about the summer being spent with the night Yorb. The beginning of the season with them all down because school starts in only a few days.
The Box of Doom roll as the speech cuts off??? Fuck.
Our blessed tumblr
A holy site
Nah nah nah, you ain’t hiding this in the tags
Not one of the 7 deadly sins, but a secret 8th sin
sorry what
Still collecting the full alphabet of the “live, laugh, love” variants if anyone has some good examples.
Bonus if they can fit the “We can’t ___, _____, ____ our way out of this.”
compilation of the comments’ best hits + some of mine own.
