btw if you’re fat and your partner doesn’t love you wholeheartedly, if they’re attracted to you “despite” your body, if they avoid touching you, if they look away from certain parts of you, you’re allowed to break up with that person. look at me. you can do better. you are not unloveable and you don’t have to settle i fucking promise.

The very best advice I can give people who are dismayed at how bad modern movies are is

1: watch older movies. like pre 1990s or 1980s. Black and White films are great but you don't HAVE to jump to black and white if you struggle with them. There is a history of colour out there, and you will be shocked at how many genres you've never tried before will end up appealing to you.

2: watch foreign films. It doesn't have to be New Wave Arthouse films from France or anything. Like Squid Game? Check out S. Korean movies. Like anime? Check out some Japanese films. Like big over the top action films? Watch RRR. Like Superhero style things? Check out Chinese historical Wuxai epics. Netflix has a plethora of foreign films from all over the world. You don't even need to go looking where you can watch them.

You don't have to wait for Hollywood if you are no longer entertained.

i don't actually give a fuck whether fatness is an indicator of health because health shouldn't indicate a moral high ground. being healthy isn't some pinnacle of human achievement, it's not morally superior. and being unhealthy isn't a moral failing and shouldn't mean you're less worthy of kindness, justice, and a good life. signed, a chronically ill person who will never be "healthy" at any weight.

idk i don't think it's terrible to joke about common themes and even tropes in poetry and fiction. like some things are funny in the way that they pop up so often and are sometimes overdone & hamfisted.

the problem for me is when people on this site post poetry or short prose and someone reblogs it with a joke and that version of the post gets big notes. and that happens on here like every other month.

regardless of whether it's "good" or not, that's someone's art and unless they've already published it, this this is likely the only place they're "publishing" so the comments & tags here will be the only feedback they get.

and if they push back at all, they're portrayed as bad sports. i joined this site as a creative writing blog when i was 15 in 2008 and over the years i've seen so so so many young writers here play along and laugh it off when one of their poems becomes the new joke, because at least then only their writing will be criticized, not them.

i'm not by any means suggesting that no one is rude and terrible to visual artists here as well but i will say there isn't a hugely popular tumblr trend of reblogging someone's drawing and commenting "lol this is corny and stupid" and then that version gets 100,000 notes with everyone agreeing and laughing.

people seem to find it uniquely acceptable to make fun of poetry, something so vulnerable, because it exhibits vulnerability. there are literally "iconic" copypasta memes from this site that were originally teenagers' poems.

try being nice

as a cis guy, when presented with the "99% you get a ton of money, 1% you turn into a girl" it honestly would be dumb to not hit that button until it breaks. like ok now i have 100 bajillion dollars and gender dysphoria. big deal. i have all the money in the world to turn me back into a guy. like with that kind of money i could have obama do me a phalloplasty. he wouldnt be able to do it as he isnt a surgeon but the point still stands

On the one hand, deciding to do a herringbone pattern probably increased the floor renovation project time by 4-5 hours. On the other hand, my library floor is going to look bomb as hell (just as soon as I run to Home Depot for more flooring because I ran out 😬). We’ll do black grout in here as well. And once the floor is done…I can start building bookshelves 🎉🎉🎉

its so awesome how Tsunade's tragic backstory is having a dead fridged wife. women in male dominated fields!

(You can tell Dan is a dead wife and not a dead husband bcs of Tsunade's reactions to his death and its impact on her life. If Dan was a husband Tsuande would be a widow, and she would mourn quietly and with dignity in her community while being pregnant and attempting to raise their child on her own in a beautiful feminine struggle. Instead she becomes an alocholic with anger issues, which is proof that she's a widower with a dead wife)

Weird when you first start paying attention to animal noises and realize they don't actually sound like the words we use
