I'm bad queer rep because it bothers me when a fantasy book goes out of its way to be queer friendly, normalizing queer relationships with every side character and even establishing the main character as queer and then the main romance is m/f

#listen. I am bisexual. the majority of relationships I've been in have technically been m/f*#but like. when I'm reading about or looking at a bisexual character I don't CARE about the m/f aspect. I want it to be gay #anyway I'm reading godkiller and I can't say that I don't recommend it because overall it's decent #but this one thing (and parts of the prose) bothers me a little #not enough to stop reading obviously I am enjoying myself and the characters #hhhh the characters #(if you only care about rep) disable bi main character #(if you actually care about characters) tragic backstory bounty hunter finds herself suddenly responsible for a child she doesn't want #(not. not her child. a child. to be clear. this is a random child that through circumstance is now in her care)#there was a post a week or so ago that was like #I know why we can't get the hardened woman softened by being forced to go on a journey with a kid but can we all just be cool so we can do #it once #a la Logan or the mandalorian or. there's definitely a third example but it escapes me now #anyway this is that. this is that!#it's decent #this has been a post

i'm still mad about that post thats like "humans USED to be able to memoriize long epic poems, but we no longer have Bards so our memories arent as good" boy shut the fuck up. a good chunk of people i went to high school with had the entirety of hamilton memorized for fun and they weren't even autistic.

#shoutout to jenna from high school i never liked you #and you screamed at me for my makeup application skills once

was talking to a coworker and realised i could not for the life of me remember his name but i was too embarrassed to ask because we've spoken multiple times so mid-conversation i started concocting a plan to nudge the conversation towards the ID photos on our building passes so that i could be like oh my ID photo is awful haha the camera they use to take these has a real talent for making me look as unphotogenic as possible and then he would say oh yes me too haha everyone says that (because they do) and then i would be able to say well let me see yours it can't be as bad as mine! and he would show me his ID because we are coworkers and why wouldn't he and this would allow me to see his building pass which of course would have his name on it and then i would be able to say well yours is perfectly nice it must be me that's the problem! and then we would have a polite chuckle about it and i would have his name without needing to ask for it and he would be none the wiser and all would be well but then before i could execute this fine plan a little voice in my head went "so this is some light yagami bull shit you are about to pull" which was such a violent reality check it shocked me completely out of my embarrassment and i went "hey im so sorry your name has slipped my mind could you remind me" and he did and it was fine.

#just #this happened once before when i was speaking to someone who clearly knew me but i didn't know them #and they were OBVIOUSLY an important person of some sort and I couldn't ask #so i pretended to hear something and looked over and they looked over too to see what i was looking at #and while they were distracted i snuck a peek at their id badge. this worked #rookposting #everyone has done some variation of this before.#im only self conscious because of all the kinassigning.

my best tip for anyone trying to get back into reading is to remember that you can read books to avoid other responsibilities in ur life and it can become a vice if you play your cards right

#once i found out i could read books instead of studying or read on the clock at work… game changer

Chuckling to myself remembering the time I completely broke a scammer's brain by telling them I use Linux.

Scammer: do you have an apple or a windows computer please?

Me: neither, I use Linux.

Scammer: no no no, I asked if you use a apple or a windows

Me: neither

Scammer: what is the sticker? Is it a four boxes or is it an apple with a bite?

Me: ... I don't use EITHER of them. There's a third operating system called Linux. It isn't a PC or a mac. Please tell me you understand

Scammer: do -- do you know what I mean about apple or windows sir?

Me: yes. I'm a software developer. I understand completely. I'm telling you that YOU don't understand. Its called Linux, spelled L-I-N-U-X, type it into google

Scammer:

Scammer: but is it an apple or a windows computer sir

#Tbf there's no point putting Linux on the script for a scammer #We're not really the target demographic at all #Or really phone-answerers in general tbh #The only reason I didn't hang up immediately is because I went a little insane during covid #I saw scam baiters like kitboga and thought it'd be fun and maybe a bit noble to waste their time #But it turns out engaging with scam calls just means you get more scam calls #You go on the list of People Stupid Enough To Answer A Scam Call #And once you're on the list they hit you multiple times a day from multiple angles #They also sell or share that list to other scammers who don't know or care that they won't get anywhere #So that wasn't the best idea even if it was quite funny #linux #linuxposting #linuxblr

Superman losing his composure only when people shrug off the lives of others. Doesn’t matter how well he knows them. Doesn’t matter if they’re even human.

He gets upset at the Justice Gang for brutally killing a rampaging Kaiju and not even attempting to find a way to move it or at least euthanize it more humanely.

The only time he raises his voice during Lois’ interview is when she digs into his interference in geopolitics, because people would have died if he hadn’t acted. The only time he yells at Luthor is when Luthor abducts Krypto. The only time he cries is when Luthor murders someone he barely even knew.

He saves a fucking squirrel for god’s sake. We’re so back.

#dc comics #Superman #superman spoilers #superman 2025 #superman 2025 spoilers #I’ve only seen the movie once so hopefully I didn’t miss another moment where he yelled at Luthor or cried or w/e #but I think this point still stands regardless #reclass.txt

I will continue posting in favour of there being fewer people like that

#I’ve been there too #I once was an scared teen who thought it was impossible too #life can be worth living don’t stay stuck there #isuggestforcemasc #transmasc #ftm #trans men #trans man #if there are people who died like this may their skeletons crumble to dust and the dresses they were buried in disintegrate #ahh shit #o saw this on Pinterest and it broke something #how many people out there just have to live pretending to be someone they’re not

characters going “we were lovers once”: eh, it’s okay i guess. it’s nice enough

characters going “we were friends once”: absolutely devastating. one hit knockout i’m gone

#maybe it’s cause i’m arospec #but this just hits so hard for me every time #we were once friends. we once chased each other in the playground. we held one another’s still beating hearts in our palms #not to say u can’t have that as lovers but idk. friendship just hits rly hard for me #on friendship #tropes #writing #aromantic

generally you shouldn't write run-on sentences because they get confusing and it doesn't give the reader a break. that doesn't apply to me though my run-on sentences are fun and understandable and they have a rhythm to it that makes you want to keep reading

#.docx #sometimes i go through old works and notice entire paragraphs with only one punctuation mark and it's like #93 words.#(jaded old man voice) i submitted a 93 word sentence once.
