shipping has rotted YOUR brains mine fine it's fermenting like aged whisky I need to add some new ships every few months to keep the acid to base ratio stable
DDOS protection is expensive especially for a high traffic site like ao3. And it's uniquely vulnerable as an independent site without ads or other corporate support. SPECIFICALLY targeted bc of its queer works and yet ppl will still complain every time they ask for donations lmao
I watched Wish and it's aggressively mid but the villain and the heroine have an legit love ballad between them that they tried to make non romantic by making them face away from each other to look at orbs but idk how you can look at this and not read it romantic
Like this is a love song straight up. I want to know the bts about how this song ended up between them so bad. Was it originally for a different love interest for asha? Was it for magnifico and his queen? Or did the writers want UST between sorcerer/apprentice??
@you_tacky_thing
Obv they could be lying but it doesn't really matter if someone says they are queerphobic either becuase they hate the gays or they feel comfortable using it as an excuse, then they are in fact queerphobic
If we are going to talk about "normalizing" anything let's talk about how ppl have "normalized" harassing and sending death threats to authors whose book you don't like :/
BREAKING: TV & movie writers just voted to authorize a strike that could shut down Hollywood.
Writers are making less than they were 10 years ago, while corporate profits have skyrocketed.
They're not standing for it.
There is a conservarive mindset that the Performance of Morality (the ritual display of approving of good things and disapproving of bad things) is more important thn actual material change and it's so frustrating that ppl have translated that into parasocial fictional characters
the internet archive simply cannot under any circumstances go down. it’s load bearing in too many ways for too many purposes. i don’t think there’s any news to suggest that is the consequence of this ruling and it’s just people rightly anxious but man. simply unthinkable

I wonder how these ppl feel about like... haunted houses. Like do they think ppl paying to be scared and chased down a hallway are "conditioned" to be victims. Or is it just stupid women who like sex that don't know better :/
The idea that pornography ceases to condition women if it is produced by women is insane. Obviously erotica is less directly harmful than filmed rape involving real women-- but both condition girls and women into eroticising their own degradation.
Today's a big day for Sudowrite. We're launching Story Engine, an AI tool for writing long-form stories.
Our awesome team worked with hundreds of novelists for months to build the ideal interface for writers and machines to collaborate on a narrative.
In the digital age piracy is vital to preservation. hbo just deleted whole shows off their site with no physical release. z-lib was vital for accessibility, you don't OWN the books u get on amazon, u license them, they can wipe your entire library at anytime. so some alts:
@ClarissaDeLune
It really shows how much selfinserting has become a main way for people to interact with media like no I don't wNt to be any of these characters they are dolls to me
referring to shipping as relapsing you are all deeply unserious people. the way mental health language is weaponized to harass ppl in fandom should be studied

Hermione isnt a child, she's a make belive character. If dark fiction gives you an uncontrollable negative reaction I suggest you not engage with jt until you learn to maturely process your emotions
The hp books don't contain any smut and if you only read for sex you are depriving yourself of stories and characters you will love. if you want fanfic to be treated like art, stop treating it like porn
Tw// transphobia terf
It's pride 🏳️🌈! Let's talk about transphobia in fandom and how important it is to not let it take and inch ESPECIALLY since we are engaging with jkrs work and (as much as we want to!) cannot decouple promoting hp and keeping her platform relevent 🧵🧵
Betsy saying all that AI is somehow transformative is her either not understanding how generative ai works (unlikely) or being an actively malicious evangelist of the most acute threat to every creative industry in a century. It's a LANGUAGE MODEL it's CANNOT be transformative
jj is a guy that likes it when ppl think about his stories (mystery boxes, reveals, plot speculation, hype) but hates it when ppl think abt his stories (character arcs, themes, narrative relevence)
i know "romance novels should be didactic" is a v popular opinion right now but like, let me look at your bookshelf I bet i can make a hypocrite out of you
Things you should tag: noncon, dubcon, underage, incest, bdsm, nsfw, specific kinks, and the pairing
Things you should not tag: food, gays, Ron
Hope that helps! I was very polite! Happy pride!
I'm not a monarchist but people are being so disrespectful about the death of a *mother* but I want to thank each and everyone of you putting in the hard work. I think if we all come together we can be even more disrespectful and use that negative energy to kiII Charles

what if this gwen is not the first gwen miguel recruited and everytime before she has her typical kid crush on miguel and he is tired of fending off this girls advances but *this* oh THIS gwen is is so unimpressed and aloof and why ISN'T she obsessed with him she's supposed to be
Harry is richer than anyone at hogwarts my guy inherited a hundred million untaxed dollars at age eleven and can outspend any Draco 'father gives me my allowance when I don't get detention' Malfoy any day of the week
I know it's because teen girls interests are more scrutinizated than boys but it's always wild when ppl get upset over liking the new evil blorbo as if Darth Vader has not been more popular than his hero since inception
Because it makes people think about how they value the commodities of a relatable dead man over the immediate, devastating effects of climate change. Van Gogh was not harmed by this. He's dead. The National Gallery that ACTUALLY owns his work was not harmed by this. There's glass
I'm struggling to understand why destroying a painting of sunflowers done by Van Gogh, an impoverished man who was marginalised in his local community due to his mental illness, is the right target to make a statement about how awful the oil industry is.
It's very funny that on wizard porn twitter people are telling other people who and who not to follow on WIZARD PORN TWITTER and then PEOPLE ARE ACTUALLY DOING IT. ON WIZARD PORN TWITTER
"publishers disregarding mlm audiences is normal and good actually" is a WILD fucking take lmao you can't just put reylo hate in there to dress up homophobia embarrassing
If only there was someone in the movie talking about how they can't fight a guerrilla war on suicide missions alone. like if there was an entire main character plot line about how sacrificing yourself doesn't lead to victory I wonder what that movie would be like
@MrBrecken
Amazing how literally zero pilots thought of doing this manouver in the entirety of the original trilogy prequel trilogy or any other star wars movie... Its almost like it's a MASSIVE plot hole
Actually a villain couple paralleled with a classic Disney love story would have made me sooooo much more excited for this why is Disney allergic to romance so much
They were cooking with some of the original concepts for the

And if i say barbie is more of a boy movie becuase it focuses more on Ken's arc and the effects of toxic masculinity/patriarchy on men more than how it affects women. The climax of the movie is literally barbie giving emotional support to Ken for Ken's catharsis not barbies
hmmm okay yes miguel noncon gwen is good but look me in the eyes and tell me that daughter of a cop punk pierced is not the kinkiest spider in the universe and has to force catholic vanilla miguel as he's crying screaming thinking he's taking advantage of her
this should have been Guillermo del Toros project he would have understood horror romance could have been crimson peak and the shape of water but noooo
Jenna Ortega says ‘WEDNESDAY’ season 2 will “lean into the horror more.”
“We’re ditching any romantic love interest, which is really great. We’re going to get bolder, more dark.”

I actually think gwen and miguel have a very different relationship than miguel and the rest of spider society like all the other spiders treat him with respect but we see Jess and Peter B and hobie annoyed at how much of a stick in the mud he is but gwen treats him seriously

I 100% believe that's what happened like the production was too messy to write different songs so they made do with what they had and ended up with hero/villian shipping
I know for a fact people can disagree about things they like and still be friends be cause I'm friends with swifties. You can build relationships on shared interests but also you have to genuinely like the person beyond what attention they give you or when they agree with you
Hermione pregnant bc of

we get single mom Hermione raising her daughter alone telling her stories of how brave her daddy was to save the world
Miss me with that shit the best works I have ever read are abandoned becuase it stuck with someone long enough for them to rec it to me. If someone recs you an abandoned/incomplete fic it WILL be godtier. And we aren't here to consume works we're here to share them
-literally just more trans rep whether that be fics, headcanons, drabbles, aus whatever.

Genuinely the peak tomione dynamic is effortless genuis/hardworking scholar that hate each other for being everything the other secretly wants if you get it u get it
Damn that's awful. Maybe blame the person doing the harassment and assault tho, and not the person reading a book. Putting the fault on a book for "romanticizing problematic relationships" is just victim blaming with more steps.
this is a bad policy. a chatbot cant make fanwork becuase it is not a FAN it's a predictive text model created from systemic theft. we don't put burnt books in a library
it's frustrating I remember lots of 'progressive' ppl easily clocked the gamergate anti-sjw to right wing pipeline in 'innocuous' spaces like games, but are now ignoring the radicalization around fandom for some reason
People keep going 'How did we re-invent Puritanism?' when the whole issue this entire time has been ppl ignoring conservative groups radicalizing young teens in spaces considered inconsequential i.e. fandom. It's literally OLD purity culture being vomited up in a progressive hat.
