In hindsight it's very insulting to be told that flunking out of college due to adhd is actually "quite common"

Hey. I think I hate you.

[a-snek-in-a-hat]

it sucks that the backrooms and by extent liminal spaces turned out the way they did in popular culture. i love dreamy places not because they're full of Scary Screatures or whatever but because they're fun and interesting and cool and a perfect place for a girl like me to lay her eggs

If ANY of yall EVER do this shit to me, im deleting every single fic out of spite.

If I ever catch one of yall doing this to another author and I know youre a follower of my work I will block you personally on every platform

None of yall are the fic police. I DESPISE genai. I think its an insult to art, humanity, and the planet itself. But aint not a single fucking person here qualified to pick apart a strangers fic looking for a gotcha moment to make yourselves feel superior. If you think something is ai you can ask the author (most are proud of the ai use and will just tell you straight up) if they say yes you have your answer and can warn people. If they say no and you dont believe them you block and quietly keep it between you and maybe a close group of friends. Spreading misinformation is DANGEROUS. And NONE of you doing this shit are anywhere near qualified to do it.

THIS GOES DOUBLY FOR ARTISTS.

I still can't get over the fact that when I started Date Everything, I told my friend about Dorian and how he's one of my favorites and their response was to point out that my favorite magnus archives character was Michael and said

"Wow you must really fuckin love doors huh"

Every mechanisms song:

*sad viola intro* jonny d’ville: once upon a time, there were two lesbians who were in love and also in space. But the spgovernment (space government) wanted to kill them, and so they were forced to flee.

jessica law (to the tune of old macdonald): oooh baby I love you. I’m so sorry the spgovernment wants to kill us because we committed genocide *drumbot brian starts banging out the tunes* [CHORUS]

jonny d’ville: you see, these two lovers had actually committed genocide.

literally any of the other band members: *slightly higher voice than usual* my dearest, I love you too. I’d do anything to protect you, even sacrifice my life for yours [CHORUS AGAIN]

*worst harmonica you’ve ever heard in your life*

[CHORUS ONE FINAL TIME] (it goes really hard even though it’s still to the tune of old macdonald)

*outro music* jonny d’ville: and then they both died. not even in each others’ arms or anything. yeah it was really depressing

and then it’s the best fucking song you’ve ever heard

You guys know that sequence in Soul Music where Susan is going around the house of Death reminiscing about her time here that she'd forgotten? I've always thought it's a very striking way of demonstrating just what it is that Death doesn't quite understand about humanity. The swing through the center of the tree, the towels welded onto the hangers, and so on. The aesthetics of life mimicked with deep care and longing but total lack of understanding, which is what the scene is of course driving at. But on this most recent reread it also stuck out to me how well that whole idea ties into the themes of parenthood the book deals with. Especially the swing, which he put together specifically FOR Susan, for someone he has a (grand)fatherly relationship with. It invokes, to me, that very specific way parents have of misunderstanding their children. I mean, understanding your kids is hard, right? Understanding your parents is HARD. Reaching across that distance is really, really hard and I think that many parents end up reaching out in exactly that way; with deep care, longing, and total lack of understanding.

"Average person has 3 worms in them" factoid actually statistical error. Average person has 0 worms in them. Worms Jane, who has over 10,000 worms in her, is an outlier and should not have been counted.

im incredibly conflicted by the phrase ‘the question is not who will let me but who will stop me’ because on one hand its so fucking raw and powerful but on the other hand it’s derived from ayn rand but on yet another hand the first and primary time ive ever seen it was on a picture of a lawnmower flying through the sky which is the perfect level of absurd and nonsensical that would piss ayn rand off
