Seein' too many Twitter refugees asking if they'll get in trouble for saying "kill yourself" to people and while no, you're not gonna get nuked from orbit, that is maybe something you just shouldn't be doing in general perhaps?? Maybe telling people to kill themselves is bad actually?? Some of y'all are wild, why is the first thing you can think to ask on a new platform if you can send one of the worst kinds of harassment to people?? Grow tf up and learn how to use the block button. It'll do wonders for your mood, trust me.

in conversation about white people who go to Japan and expect their knowledge of anime to culturally carry them, I was once posed with “it’s like if there was a Japanese guy who was obsessed with spongebob and came over here and thought he could get by just communicating in spongebob quotes.” This is a false equivalence because if such a man existed we would crown him king. We’d love him. Americans would fucking love that. sometimes I get sad that this isn’t a real guy I can invite to a party.

Went outside my fandom bubble and saw people being cancelled for shipping two characters who tried to kill each other once damn is this the limit nowadays

Trying to kill each other is a reason to START shipping characters

OH GOD I DO NOT BELIEVE THIS I DO NOT BELIEVE THIS AT ALL.

This is from The Fault in Our Stars, in which Augustus’s family hang Live/Laugh/Love-like calligraphic quotations on their walls. Hazel and Augustus make fun of these quotations because they simplify/essentialize complexities of suffering and injustice. The whole point of this is that these quotes won't suffice, because Hazel and Gus are looking for the kinds of meaning that can withstand the reality of suffering (and, eventually, the finality of it).

So yeah. Okay. I'll probably delete this later.

It always drives me crazy when something a character says in a book is quoted as if the author said it.

I mean, they did. Every story is the author saying something through their character.

I can write a story where a guy says "fuck trees I hate them we should cut them all down" does that mean that this represents my opinions? No
