Lady of Irony

Prospit and Derse

Despite approximately 200,000 years of evolution, humans are still completely vulnerable while they sleep and lack any sort of defensive mechanism.

The defense mechanism is community you self centered prick

ok!

this is gonna sound really bitchy but some people really need to learn to realize when someone isn't talking to them. if you don't like beans then the lady posting a bean soup recipe isn't fucking talking to you. if you dont like reading then the people who post about the books they're reading aren't fucking talking to you.

I wanna start saying "not you, rabbit ears" bc that's what my dad always said growing up but idk if the tone will come across.

i think we should bring this back (with some amendments ofc) if we ever needed an "internet etiquette" for the younger generations, now is the moment to remind them. purity culture kills fandom

as well as the three laws of fandom:

Don't Like, Don't Read (DL;DR), Your Kink is not My Kink And That's OK (YKINMKATO) and Ship and Let Ship

having gay sex is like the least problematic thing that has happened in that US senate hearing room

...what?

you heard me

we popping the BIGGEST bottles when makorra happens tomorrow

iconic moments in gay history 

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.

An equal and opposite truth:

The actors, directors, writers, etc that create this characters are people.

They are real. They exist independent of the characters and your opinions. You have no right to them, their opinions, or their relationships. They have no responsibility to you. You cannot force them to follow your fantasy.

The inherent eroticism of the Battle Couple

Ogh to trust someone to have your back and you theirs, thus acting as a single entity in battle with twice the strengths and half the weaknesses of the two parts combined...

I hate how 3 pm is so close to 2 pm so there’s an illusion that there’s still time left in the day to do things but in reality 3 pm is also close to 4 pm and if it’s close to 4 pm you might as well just wait till tomorrow. <- can’t argue against this by the way.

I really do think that it’s good for the soul to be unironically pretentious about something. Not in a gatekeeping kind of way but in a “yes, it really is that deep and I would love to enthusiastically and passionately explain why” kind of way.

I think the Evil Media Bias Against Platonic Relationships is one of those things tumblr loves to get worked up about despite, like. simply not being real.

"men in media are never allowed to have their closest, most meaningful relationship be a platonic friendship with another man!" I'm sorry but I am not convinced that you've ever consumed media

"okay maybe buddy comedies exist or whatever, but this is a problem in fandom spaces--" It's not a "problem" that gay people on the internet like to draw gay kissing. Hope this helps <3

me, shaking the people in the notes by the shoulders: Fandom is an extremely niche subculture. Gay shipping is a niche of that niche. 99% of the population does not engage with it. You do not have to walk into the Gay Romance And Erotica Club and complain about the gay romance and erotica

the people in the notes: I'm being forced at gunpoint actually

someday everyone on this site will collectively realize that being a grown adult with the personality of a judgmental highschool meangirl is infinitely more pathetic and shameful than any innocuous cringe otherkin fandom blogger type ever will be and then maybe online will finally be tolerable

Anime studios need to strike next

Down with seasonal anime down with overconsumption down with every series regardless of how complex needing to be boiled down to fit into 12 episodes

there’s just too many shows

too many shows and they’re coming out at such an unprecedented rate that we can’t even fully appreciate them. and I KNOW that people are slaving away in unethical work conditions to make them, all so that nobody can even remember them, no matter how lovingly crafted or beautiful they really are

Sorry to all of the people who had to flee book Twitter because of Elon. I can simulate it for you right here though!

Author who wrote a YA book called something like "Crown of Suck and Bone": I wish I could put my English teacher down with a bolt gun for making me read Shakespeare instead of REAL literature like Love Simon in high school

Former Ana Mardoll reply guy: This. LITERALLY this. Expecting people like me, who have synesthesia, to read Shakespeare is rooted in

Person whose profile pic is Dostoevsky w/ huge naturals: I hope the world blows up tomorrow

why is explaining a villains sad backstory always taken as an effort toward excusing their actions. why does the conversation need to involve the question of excusing anything rather than just making their present behavior way more interesting by complicating their feelings or their motivations. why is acknowledging complicated feelings or motivations taken as apologism in and of itself. why is everyone so incredibly boring

This might be harsh but I think those who equate “good character design” to “character I would fuck” and express outright disgust at designs who dared to fall outside their conventional beauty norms should be trapped in the amulet for a thousand years. minimum
