the thing that's so fucking funny abt kira and sisko's relationship is she's like look sometimes i need to talk to you as my boss sometimes i need to talk to you as my good pal ben and sometimes i need to talk to you as jesus. and sometimes her boss refuses a request and she goes, please, jesus and he's like. fuck you fine. and then twenty minutes later it's like oh my good pal ben and i are gonna go watch baseball later :) and they never discuss this.

there’s this interesting tendency that especially young ppl have when it comes to art where they want to “consume” art by women, lgbt ppl, poc, to make themselves more feminist, anti-racist, etc, and then when they discover these artists have flaws too, that they aren’t perfect representatives of the social movement that’s being projected onto them, they don’t know what to do with that so instead of engaging with these new perspectives they return to art by straight white men who avoid saying something wrong on these topics by simply not speaking of them at all

Most targets of “cancel culture” are women and people of color for this reason.

There’s also something very paternalistic about judging art from anyone who isn’t a white man by how flawless and “non-problematic” the representation is in their art while we judge (mostly white, mostly western) men by the metric of good prose, good characterisation, themes and narrative for example, when it comes to books. It feels as if the “universal” work is reserved for them, while everyone else gets to sit at the kids table and get an award for stuff like “book with most likeable bisexual character”.

Man if I heard that shit while descending upon a strange land with my brethren I’d straight up dig a hole to die in right the and there, fuck the emperor fuck the gods that’s a warning straight from the bones of an older evil and whatever is coming is worse than death

wake up sheeple !! the notion that katara is the overbearing, responsible member of the group was a lie peddled by Big Toph to distract from the fact that the actual overbearing, responsible member of the group (sokka) also happens to be her favorite.

Based on my illustrated gothic horror series, the Deephaven Mysteries! The first book is on shelves now, with a new mystery coming this September that you can preorder wherever you get books!

maybe a crazy take idk but i dont actually think many scenes in stories are 'unneccesary' i think they just make people uncomfortable and rather than try to understand the significance of that discomfort and why the author mightve deliberately inflicted it, decide that discomfort = bad, therefore that scene + the author are both bad

i cant really tell you how many times (as a csa victim, as someone with an ED, and someone whos struggled with suicidality) how many times one of my real life experiences is called 'unneccessary' despite making complete sense with the path a story is taking. despite being very honest and unglamorized in their depiction.

i think that there is absolutely instances of the abuse people face being made a spectacle of that is 'in poor taste', but this has somehow evolved past 'please handle these subjects with care' to 'its bad to even discuss them at all'.

that’s his bestie, his little twin
