all goofing aside I genuinely don't understand the urge to reimagine Taylor Allison Swift as a secretly queer icon when the pop music scene(TM) is like. literally overflowing with women who actually like women. Gaga and Kesha and Miley and Halsey are right there. Rina Sawayama and Hayley Kiyoko and Rebecca Black and Kehlani and Victoria Monét and Miya Folick if you're willing to get slightly less top 100. Janelle and Demi for them nonbinary takes on liking girls. like what are we doing here. like I'm not even saying you can't enjoy Taylor but why would you hang all your little gay hopes on her.

Isn’t Lady Gaga bisexual?

yes that is indeed why she's on the list of famous women who like women

why have multiple people reblogged this with some horse-assed "um actually most of these people are bi or pan" did I fucking stutter I said they like girls. what is your point. I'm going to kill you.

POV: you make a good post and then encounter tumblr reading comprehension

btw to just clarify for anyone who sees this reblog of this post

op is basically saying something along the lines of "yea ik taylor swift is bi but like. why is she y'all's only lgbtq+ pop icon when there are all these other lgbtq+ people in the pop scene???"

i might have worded this badly but hopefully i got the main point across

hi op here I certainly did not fucking say Taylor Swift is bi

the fact that Stardew Valley is a $15 indie game that came out almost a decade ago with zero microtransactions and is still receiving free DLC updates to this day is absolutely bonkers. There are $50-60 AAA games with paid DLC that have come out more recently and aren’t nearly as actively supported or updated.

Writing advice from my uni teachers:

  • If your dialog feels flat, rewrite the scene pretending the characters cannot at any cost say exactly what they mean. No one says “I’m mad” but they can say it in 100 other ways.
  • Wrote a chapter but you dislike it? Rewrite it again from memory. That way you’re only remembering the main parts and can fill in extra details. My teacher who was a playwright literally writes every single script twice because of this.
  • Don’t overuse metaphors, or they lose their potency. Limit yourself.
  • Before you write your novel, write a page of anything from your characters POV so you can get their voice right. Do this for every main character introduced.

This is legit good writing advice, especially the first bullet point! In playwriting class we did a bit where every bit of dialogue had to be an accusatory question and it was glorious.

whatever tumblr users did to breaking bad is the exact opposite of what everyone did to mlp

breaking bad fans will post shit like "JESSE. we need to pick up my estrogen before the fucking pharmacy closes." "mrs white can we get mcdonalds on the way back to the meth lab" and then you look over at mlp fans and rainbow dash is committing tax fraud while fluttershy smokes a joint rolled up in her taxes

for the record i think this is beautiful. i hope mrs white has a good life and im proud of her for coming out after living so long as a man. and i hope rainbow dash and fluttershy dismantle the pony government

Someone once pointed out that fic of a series contains whatever the original series does NOT contain, because much fanfic is essentially re-imagining the same characters in different genres.

So why does the Hannibal fandom have so many Domestic AUs? Because we've already seen what these characters are like in a horror-tragedy, now we want to see how they handle living happily ever after.

Why does MLP have some of the most fucked up fic out there? because we've already seen them in an extremely wholesome world, now we want to see them in a visceral horror.

Why is the version of Breaking Bad that lives on tumblr so Silly and Absurd? because the original show was very serious and grim, now we want to see them be happy little weirdos doing slapstick.

And I also think that's beautiful. The human experience is vast, and playing with "How would Blorbo react if I put him in this situation?" is an important way of learning how to appreciate the beauty of that vastness.

I also think it's beautiful because it's DEEPLY entertaining to watch someone move characters from one genre to another like redirecting the flow of a river.
