So apparently because I wasn't clear enough,
COPS. DO NOT. BELONG. AT PRIDE. FULL. STOP.
Cops uphold negative systems for the government. I do NOT CARE how a cop identifies, the way the system is and has been forever serves not to protect the people, but to serve the government with cruelty, force, and brutality. That's a horrible thing to willingly participate in. Cops aren't good people, regardless of how they identify. I mean, do we even remember people like George Floyd and Breyonna Taylor? Police brutality, guys. It's still important. And we forgot. We're apathetic. It's time to start caring again.
I don't wanna see a single goddamn cop anywhere near ANY pride parade, or protest, or anywhere, really. Especially not in schools, or in malls, at my job, at summer camps. On civilian roads. The whole system needs to be dismantled, full fucking stop. And if you don't agree with me? You're more than free to carry tf on because I DO NOT CARE what you think, because if you oppose this opinion, shared by MANY which is based in hard facts and experiences, you're just wrong. You get to be wrong. Congratufuckyoulations.
I don't like cops because of how corrupt their system is, and the fact they're aware, and choose to continue on with and uphold it. I don't think you'll find a single actual punk that likes cops, honestly. I don't think anyone who's a cop should feel comfortable in a place like pride. Because they disrupt & hurt our community more often than not. Queer cops shouldn't exist, bc cops shouldn't exist. And if you know ANYTHING about queerness, cops, and their history, you would understand WHY rather than pestering me (just some fucking guy who has a life, btw.) about it.
Furthermore... Statistically, cops commit the most crime. Not so-called criminals. For example, in the USA, in just the past month/two months at time of writing they've literally shot journalists, news reporters, and REGULAR CIVILIANS just trying to go the fuck home and ILLEGALLY BLOCKADING THEM IN on streets to arrest them past "cerfew" at parades and protests. The USA is a fascist dictatorship and all cops are willingly participating in it when they allow violence and brutality to continue.
Your veterans spent all those years fighting nazis and fascism and cracking down on all those "oppressive states" and shit. Look at what the fuck your sorry ass country has become and TRY AGAIN to fucking tell me that cops belong anywhere, anywhere at all. Because they DON'T.
They are unregulated violence machines. They are complacent in murder, in rape, in their own violence and crime. KEEP THOSE FILTHY, ABHORRENT, DANGEROUS PIGS OUT OF MY FUCKING COMMUNITY, AWAY FROM THE WOMEN AND THE CHILDREN.
If you're a cop, know I hate you. More than hate, loathe. Know so many people do not feel SAFE when you're around or disclose your job. Because of what you are upholding. You are not honourable. I do not care how "good" you think you are. I do not care about your gender. I do not care about your orientation. I don't give a single fuck if you have a family. You repulse me.
say it with me now, kids:
COPS DON'T BELONG AT PRIDE
COPS DON'T BELONG AT PRIDE
COPS. DON'T. BELONG. AT. PRIDE!
#my donation posts didn't go fkin viral but this brainless slop did#proof ppl dgaf about others suffering and just like to argue i guess#I hate y'all blowing up my gd phone#god forbid you people fucking think#long post#god you are pissing me off. fuck!#DO YOUR OWN RESEARCH.

So I do a lot of book suggestion with my public libraries because, well, I'm a big reader and I can't buy all of the books, no matter how much i might want to.
Anyway, it always completely baffles me when, with series - especially when its in ebook form where you can see fairly easily on Libby whether or not there is another installment after the one you're currently reading - *I* have to suggest the next book for it to be picked up.
And not in a 'why is the librarian not buying it' way, but rather in a 'why are people not asking for it????'
For exemple, I've been reading a series of like 5-6 books total. I suggested my library get the first ebook, suggestion got accepted, i read the book and liked it well enough. About 10-ish people were in the hold queue. Of course that doesn't mean they actually liked it but whatever.
I suggested the second book, and because of the nature of ebooks reservation, some people got to read it before me. Ok fine. I read it, about 6-7 people are on the hold queue when i finish it.
Guess what? No one asked for the third book.
For EVERY book in the series, i had to ask for the next one and i'm just...
For people to read it before me, they had to have an alert on the book so they would know when it becomes available at once. Cuz obviously I have those alerts, but even just checking 5 minutes after the notification, there would be at least 2-3 people with a hold on the book already.
And its not even a 'oh, the library will get the ebooks at a certain time every months/few months so that's why it wasn't available yet'
I finished the second to last book of the series recently. It had been available since like october-ish. I had actually started back then, but since I'm not a fan of reading ebooks, I couldnt finish the book in time, so into the hold queue I went.
I know that public library. I know how often they get their ebook. If anyone had asked for the last book, it would be available already.
It wasn't.
Do people not know they can suggest books? Is the process too obscure for them?
Anyway, there is no point to this post except to say, my good peeps, you can make books (or dvds or games or whatever kind of item your public library offer) suggestion! You usually can do it online!
If you can't find where exactly, usually just googling 'purchase suggestion' or 'reccomand a title' with the name of your public library will get you to the right page
And if you're still not sure, you should ask your librarian, they'll be happy to tell you how!
#in my experience 95% of the time they'll get the book#when they can't it's either because the book is too old#or its self-published or something#or they have the first couple books of the series but no one else is checking them out#and like sure i get from a place of privilege because book banning isnt a thing in quebec (at least as far as i know)#but still#clearly if 5 out of 6 books of a series is already available#the librarian already doesn't care that its a queer werewolf romance series#anyway yes my good peeps please suggest titles at your public library!#its one way to let your librarians know what kind of books they should be buying#i don't have to do as many queer romance books suggestion as one might think#and if they already have a book from an author its usually a safe bet that they'll get their new one too#anyway#that's it#public libraries#books

I think I can trace my intense hatred for the whole "regulations are just corporate bullshit, building codes are just The Man's way of keeping you down, we should return to pre-industrial barter and trade systems" nonsense back to when I first started doing electrical work at one of the largest hospitals in the country.
I have had to learn so much about all the special conditions in the National Electric Code for healthcare systems. All the systems that keep hospitals running, all the redundancies and backups that make sure one disaster or outage won't take out the hospital's life support, all the rules about different spaces within the hospital and the different standards that apply to each of them. And a lot of it is ridiculously over-engineered and overly redundant, but all of it is in the service of saving even one life from being lost to some wacky series of coincidences that could have been prevented with that redundancy.
I've done significantly less work in food production plants and the like, but I know they have similar standards to make sure the plants aren't going to explode or to make sure a careless maintenance tech isn't accidentally dropping screws into jars of baby food or whatever. And research labs have them to make sure some idiot doesn't leave a wrench inside a transformer and wreck a multi-million dollar machine when they try to switch it on.
Living in the self-sufficient commune is all fun and games until someone needs a kidney transplant and suddenly wants a clean, reliable hospital with doctors that are subject to some kind of overseeing body, is my point.
#i know i've complained about this a hundred times before. AND I'LL DO IT A HUNDRED MORE#just. god. apply ANY critical thinking of whether your self-sufficient society can scale up to a population of 300 million#and that's just for the us!

There's a version of the "don't go grocery shopping while hungry" rule specifically for writers where you should never under any circumstances be allowed to touch your draft within 3 hours of reading a really good story. Because sometimes when you read something great your head goes "fuck this is so much better than my stuff I should make that more like THIS instead!" Look at me. That's the devil talking and you should close the document NOW.
#you will make superficial edits that do not gell well with the rest of your work#and won't actually capture what you thought was so good about that story#close the doc. sit down. think about it for a while. inspiration is fine. getting a 'eureka' moment from another story is fine#but if you find yourself comparing your work one to one with someone else's and taking any differences to be flaws on your part then STOP#you will never write good stuff by trying to make it look less like you wrote it#writing#writing advice#guess who just had to go into her google doc history and undo a bunch of panic-induced edits#because she read a fic about the same characters she's writing for?#meeee. they aged badly within just a few hours of hindsight. learn from my mistakes#self-hatred is not a good motivation for creation#fic writing

"AI does this better than me :("
"My work is never as good as AI's :("
"I have to use AI to be good :("
you're devaluing yourself. AI is not smart, it's not creative, it just has access to the whole internet at once (which btw includes all the wrong things), and guess what, so do you. You're better than the plagiarism machine and you've been lied to and told that it's smarter than you and I hope you stop believing that because you deserve better
#you can learn and you can grow and evolve and all AI can do is steal more shit and mash it together#everything you do has worth and everything AI does is fucking nothing#how do you think people get good at what they do? How did we do it before this ai shit was shoved down our throats??#the self consciousness of people today is horrific and i hate what this ai propaganda did to some wonderfully creative people#especially if you're doing fan content#literally all you need to do fan content is to be a fan and make things. noone expects them to be good. literally noone.#do it scared and do it bad but do it yourself and you'll actually be able to look at your work and be proud of it one day#and then it'll be worth it#sorry for the rant but i feel really bad for people who think like that#anti ai#fuck ai#anti ai art#kawa rambles#rant

Something Old, Something New.
[First] Prev <–-> Next
#poorly drawn mdzs#mdzs#wei wuxian#a-yuan#Hey now! It's been a long while since we've seen that hair style!#Something old - in the way you see a little glimpse of a boy that died a long time ago#Something new in a man who has a new direction and purpose. Somehow it is still you. But you can't ever be that *you* again.#I think grief comes from a mourning of futures we lost. We associate it with love-#-but what else do we mourn if not the future we had with them? So too do we feel grief over the future our past self once hoped for.#I love the radish extra because it is so sweet and so full of small sorrows.#WWX is as playful as always with A-Yuan but there is a constant presence of how he no longer sees a future for himself.#Be it in the way he talks about the impossibility of him having children.#Or in the way he creates this silly and artificial game of helping A-yuan grow-up faster.#It's always about the moment to moment with him. Tomorrow isn't guaranteed.#His major hubris moment has yet to come but I would strongly argue that the seeds of doubt were already gestating.#It might be a bit of a 'ship tease' moment when WWX comments that his idea kid would be more like LWJ than himself -#But I consider it to be a true (if unconscious) sentiment that he sees himself as having gone down the wrong path.#It's not a 'I want LWJ to have my kids' moment. It's an 'if I were to have kid - I'd want them to never know what I went through.'#WWX is the parent that breaks the cycle. He walked for 10km through the corpse piles everyday and by god he's driving you to school.#LWJ is also a cycle breaker parent but in the opposite direction. He packs chocolate chip cookies and extra snacks in your bag.

i'm absolutely weak for liu qingge returning fans in fics and eventually there being a part where shen qingqiu is given a fan that isn't his but not saying anything because he doesn't want to "embarrass liu-shidi", especially if the author doesn't elaborate so we never know if liu qingge is giving shen qingqiu gifts or if he accidentally stole someone else's fan out of habit.
#thoughtful gift or unrelenting thief#we never know#lqg gets pavlov'd so every unattended fan gets grabbed#imagine he's at a formal event with lots of ladies and gents with fans and he just. keeps 'finding' fans and giving them to sqq#''shidi i only brought one fan and it's in my hand''#''ok?? i found this one on the table. take better care of your stuff!!''#or OR he stuffs them into his sleeve pockets to give them back later#so at the end of the event everyone is looking around for their fan#meanwhile the cqm lords are in their carriages and lqg keeps pulling out fans from his pockets like a magician#''shidi.... how many fans do you think i take to events?!!!''#next day: BREAKING NEWS fan thief still on the loose#svsss#liu qingge#shen qingqiu#liushen#scum villain#scum villain's self saving system#shen yuan

you always land on all fours
#umineko#umineko spoilers#ikuko hachijo#ikukos turn for a more serious piece... the old man has reigned for too long#now. INCREDIBLY LONG INCOHERENT TAGS RANT INCOMING FAIR WARNING HAS BEEN GIVEN:#it makes me so so sad how little discussion there is about specifically ikuko because imho she fits so neatly into a lot of the more#overarching Big Themes of the game in a way that i have not ever really seen people take notice of or point out in a meaningful way#like even just off of the top of my head. the significance of names and what it means to go by a name that's Not Yours (she has like 4+)#what it Means to be a witch how it represents a person's deepest insecurities and flaws & how its at its core a coping mechanism#the fact that it takes two to create a universe and trying to do it on your own anyways has the capacity to bring you intense misery#^ (how she's shown to be extremely dismissive of her own work and skill until a collaborator comes into her life and helps/encourages her)#and even the family/patriarchy/misogyny stuff that is so prevalent in the rest of the game comes back around to her. even her Only Friend#(young&stupid atp to be fair) remarks that shes Weird for being unmarried + the little she does say about her past invites the question of#to what extent her self-image stems from her family deeming her a freak outcast & effectively disowning her while celebrating her brothers#and i have lot in my mind about the witch thing specifically because i think her particular situation is very reflective of what umineko's#entire magic system and fantasy facet as a whole is meant to represent for an individual. from what little we see of (what is presumably)#her Real personality she is shown to be deeply self conscious in a way that is JARRINGLY diametrically opposed to both 1.) what we see in#featherine and 2.) what we see when she is acting as a Public Figure. because both of the above are very much purposeful acts that she is#putting on in order to obfuscate her true self. and i have always been very resolute & adamant about not totally equating her to featherine#not only because im very firmly in the camp of “featherine is the avatar of the Pen Name & tohya is part of her too” but also very much b/c#i feel very strongly that the stark differences between the two are very centrally relevant to her character & her psyche. as is the case#with most other witches featherine's personality traits serve to reveal/magnify a lot of ikukos inner workings by playing on her#insecurities/reversing them e.g. ikuko being very quick to downplay her skill/achievements becomes featherine being the COMPLETE opposite#to the point where she barely registers even other witches as living beings rather than just fun touys. BUT even though i do champion the#ikuko/featherine separation so hard i ALSO think it is purposefully relevant that at first glance the line between them seems so blurry#her introduction implying a more nebulous separation between her reality/fantasy counterpart is i think is an intentional move on her part#like it is part of the front she is putting up when acting as the Author. as opposed to Ikuko the person who we (in a way ironically very#similar to the way that the Real Battler is presumably only shown during the boatscene) only very briefly get to see take up screentime#which even on a meta level lines up very well with her apparent underlying nature as a like. extremely private largely reserved/shy person#hit tag limit but if by some miracle anyone is still reading this thank you... please see ikuko with the love she deserves... ok ily byeee

This is what happened after 3.1 isn't it?
#hsr#phaidei#phaidei nation I humbly offer thee a low quality meme to cope with the doomed yaoi that was going on#phainon#honkai star rail#fellas is it gay for your red coded rival to your blue coded rival to clasp his hands over your own after you stabbed him#due to thinking he was the objective of your revenge quest#pull your sword deeper in and by consequence add to your proximity while smiling and fondly say “Found you.”?#Was it casual when you had an insanely charged and homoerotic scene in the hot baths that had you face down on the ground at his feet?#no but seriously these two have me in a chokehold#what do you MEAN you told him your precise weak spot just in case you became you turned against his cause#and his presumed future EMIYA Archer coded shadow self immediately went precisely for it?#and you KNOW you'll die with a wound in that weak spot in your back and you told him about it anyway#and you tell people to keep an eye on him after you go to meet your fate and then ask him to watch over your people#and he says he'll work hard to learn your language#AND FINALLY#“If there's a chance in the next life you should come visit my library.” WHAT IF I PERISHED ON THE SPOT?!#that's their “See you in the next world.”; their “Do stay alive. I wish you the best of luck.”;#their “I would have really liked just doing laundry and taxes with you.”; “You were a wonderful experience. You were everything.” etc etc#they make me ill (positive)#also I find it so funny that as a KevinSu shipper in HI3rd I went into Star Rail expecting for the dynamic to be more coded with Anaxa#only for Phaidei to hit literally all of my points and favorite tropes in a ship and by consequence my head with a steel chair lol#really hope we see Mydei again soon because literally the first thing Phainon does after he's gone is talk about him all the time#he is a professional yearner and I respect him for it (especially since I too miss Mydei as if he's Odysseus going off to war and sea#for 20 years and I'm Penelope waiting at the shores of Ithaca)#also sorry for the low quality screenshot I was literally too invested in the quest to try and take better ones#gotta love how Hoyoverse is always giving the Kaslanas some of the best romances in their games and ESPECIALLY so if they're queer#myphai

Aventurine wants you to think his love language is gift giving, considering he's constantly giving you gifts and doing things for you. He's a bold spender, 15,000 on a ring, 100,000 for a new, custom designed coat, and whatever other jaw-dropping amounts of credits he can spend on you, he will. It seems to anyone else that Aventurine really loves giving gifts, he showers you in presents more than anyone else- and he's a pretty big spender for anyone.
But, really, his love language is physical touch and quality time. Just having you near, being in your company, it's enough to make his heart skip a beat. Actually being able to touch you, have a hand against your shoulder- or waist- pulling you close enough that you're practically squished against him, whatever annoyingly couple-y stuff he can do, he will do so.
#dragon queen rambling#♡ character yapping#honkai star rail x reader#hsr x reader#aventurine x reader#writing for Aventurine is so fun#every action he does is based on two things -#what he wants you to think#and what he doesnt want to think about#he wants you to think that hes some cool richboy who would drop a fortune on you#or anyone#he wants his relationships to look surface level#because he cant afford for anyone to try for anything more#but what he doesnt want to think about is how touch starved he is#how youve wormed your way into his heart to the point where just being in your presence has him all#“💞🩷💓❤️💓🩷💕💕💓”#so he doubles down on the gift giving#because its the easiest way to hide his actual feelings#by playing into his stereotype#it also leads into his self-worth issues#nobody has reason to stick around with *him*#hes worth a pathetic 60 tabana#but the things he can buy? people will do anything for a fraction of his fortune#youll stick around if he keeps showering you in gifts#because he doesnt have any worth#but everything he can buy you has a massive price tag that makes up for it
