the miracle job tells us so much about what nate was like as a young man. this priest sees a miracle in his church a few days after telling his old friend from the catholicism factory that there's nothing to be done about his troubles and immediately goes "nathan ford you wiley coyote-ass bitch you stop helping me right the fuck now"

This

reblog to give the person you reblogged it from a good night’s sleep (maybe)(please)(I’m begging the universe)

mappa being like “oh yuri on ice just wasn’t profitable” OLYMPIC ATHLETES WATCHED YOUR FUCKING SHOW, MAPPA. OLYMPIC!!! ATHLETES!!! OLYMPIC SKATERS HAVE GIVEN TRIBUTE TO THIS SERIES!!!! MAPPA WHAT THE FUCK

They could have made anything, released any official merchandise and been stupid profitable if they set their margins right

fuck it homebrew boop button. reblog this post to boop the person you reblogged from.

How to know we all have ADHD and don’t want to carry shit around to lose it.

"A cishet person must have made this, no queer person would ever portray queerness in this way."

"This artist must be white."

"No SA victim would ever handle the subject in this way."

"No woman would ever write women like this."

"This creator is obviously neurotypical. Everyone with autism/ADHD/depression understands-"

Nope.

People who make these blanket statements are very frequently proven wrong when the creator comes out as a member of that group. And even when they aren't proven wrong, even in cases where the creator isn't from the group in question, actual members of the group who don't fit whatever arbitrary criteria are being expressed will see these statements and feel excluded and erased.

Not everyone in your group is going to share your experiences. No single individual gets to personally decide what does or doesn't count as a "valid" expression of trauma or being part of a particular group, and creators are also not obligated to out themselves in order to "prove" their validity.

If something doesn't resonate with you, all that means is that it doesn't resonate with you. You don't have to like it. But you don't get to decide what it means to someone else.

this is so important

Part of the beauty of that whole "no one else can create the art you create" thing is that different people will, surprise surprise, produce art that looks at its subject in ways you wouldn't.

Yes, even if they share an identity or seven with you.

i forgot to put this here

i finished Men at Arms. Holy fucking hell, man.

The gun?? Leonard da Quirm (i think that's his name in Eng)??? Everything????

Im just gonna put a few quotes here, scroll if you don't want them

you know what's making me insane? the thought that vimes used what VETINARI thought him to defuse the mob in night watch and vetinari learned it from watching him defuse that mob. like. that's insane. that's crazy to me. i dont even need to say anything, that's already poetic enough

im kind of concerned about P.Briggs, I recently re-read the earlier Mercy Thompson books and, the weird defences of unhealthy relationships, child abuse and men-cant-be-friends-with-women narratives that have come to define how both Mercy and Anna see the world, aren't present. There's even whole dialogues between mercy, honey and ben directly discussing how people who think like that are wrong and it's f-ed up, but you skip back to the current books and it's all, of course my foster dad was sexually attracted to me when I was a child, thats natural and good, all men are like that and girls love it secretly, bull that is, stark comparison. like just, is she ok? what community is she in that these views are normal now? what are the men in her life like?

Oh; it was always there and she said six it was trauma Mercy had - Mercy wasn’t actively aware of the situation, but the problem was there. Remember this is a woman who got married at 17 ( to an admittedly wonderful man only 2 years older), but she had some awareness of how weird the world can be. She recognizes predators, it was Mercy who didn’t.

Soul Taken in a Nutshell:

One polycule's breakup causes worldwide consequences for CENTURIES.

Thank you, I needed this analysis and this laugh

You know, these new apocalypse prophecies just don't carry a punch. 'Oooo, the illuminati is going to perform a mass human sacrifice under the guise of the eclipse.' Big deal. 'Oooo, the path of the eclipse lines up with the seven cities of Neutrogena and when the sun is covered then everyone that got vaccinated is going to turn into a zombie.' I'm so scared.

Bring back 'huge fucking wolf eats the sun.' That's a classic that never gets old.

I think you're thinking of Nutri-grain.

Neutrogena is a brand of hazelnut-chocolate spread made by Ferrero.

That's nutella. Neutrogena is a small semi-aquatic rodent. It's native to South America but is an extremely invasive species in the southern USA.

no no that's a nutria. neutrogena is the subatomic particle that has no electric charge

No that's a neutron. Neutrogena are cool little ocean slugs!

No, those are nudibranchs. Neutrogena is the name of a peanut butter flavored cookie shaped like a peanut

No, that’s nutter butter. Neutrogena are doctors that specialize in the brain.

No that's neurologists. Neutrogena is the process of sterilizing animals.

No, that’s neutering. Neutrogena is the element that comprises ~70% of our atmosphere

No, that’s nitrogen, Neutrogena is the blue X-Men character who’s power is teleportation

Does this count as finding a walrus at your door?

Absolutely, and definitely less surprising than a fairy

They asked about *my* door!

reblog only if you’ve received less than 1000 boops! we can all get each other to “max”

I wish I could write vampires in a neat, original way but all I can think of is vampires in the Appalachians who feed off The Horrors found in the mountains.

…And maybe bootlegging moonshine? Or being part of That One Family who owns a little shitty ragtag bar that operates as like. A blood bootleg or something.

EDIT: Actually. ACTUALLY. Given the Horrors that live in the Blue Ridge and other parts of the Appalachian chain… This could be a fun way to make my own vampires! Maybe the mystery isn’t “are they vampires” but … “where have all the Horrors Gone”….

This all sounds wonderful and amazing

Thinking about how petty some writer's groups can be (re this post and the likelihood of the person being reported to gDocs) and remembering the time I was invited onto a mailing list group that boasted Addison Cain (yes, that Addison Cain) as being one of the people you'd be networking with.

When I tell you, I recoiled. Like on the one hand, cool that Hunger Pangs was doing enough numbers at the time to even get on their radar, but also, no, thank you.

There's enough drama in writers' groups without willingly walking into the mean girl circle of hell.

Thank you for speaking about this - this is something I haven’t been able to describe the vibe of situation and the drama.
