the one thing i want to be able to do as a writer is make people come back to something ive written. i want that piece of text to haunt them, i want their thoughts to be briefly consumed by this. i want this to be something they remember long after its time. thats the one thing i want to do

Communists and anarchists will spend all day talking about abstract concepts and structures like capitalism and the state, but willfully ignore the very real, tangible curse placed upon me by the foul necromancer

i am so frustrated with just how dedicated the american ruling class is to completely erasing and slandering us to keep using charges of antisemitism to silence anyone opposing this genocide

every mainstream media article right now, even if they do mention anti zionist jewish students, frames this as a racial/ethnic conflict and not an ideological conflict, and fails to mention that most of the people getting allegedly harassed were zionists purposefully provoking people not random people being targeted

its completely dishonest, everything about the framing that all the politicians and media spokespeople keep pushing so uniformly is a distortion of reality and an erasure of whos actually involved in the protests, i feel like im in the twilight zone

when hbo max crumbles in a couple years and the rights free up and we finally get a season 3 where we see ed and stede a little older and settled into their domestic life and they get pulled out of it for one last adventure. then they’ll see

We really do need to bring back the word "trolling" and warning ppl not to feed the trolls

my new favorite critical review of ofmd s2 is the one i just read that complained that ed had an arc about coming to realize he's not necessarily a good person but didn't do enough grappling with it

i'm not sure how you could possibly come to the conclusion that this is what his s2 arc was supposed to be about. there is no way he could have possibly come to the realization that he's not necessarily a good person in s2, because he started out already thinking he was not a good person when we met him in season 1. we knew this because he literally said the exact words "i'm not a good person."

and then he went on to say "that's why i don't have any friends," communicating that his belief that he is not a good person is connected to his belief that he is unlovable. and then in s2 he reminded us of this by repeating out loud multiple times that he believed he was unlovable, and spent the whole season gradually coming around to the belief that he can in fact be loved and have friends. that was the whole thing. i'm literally trying to think of a way this could have been made less subtle

Do you think David Jenkins saw one of us draw cat girl Ed and said "one of the fans put him in a collar in real life, one of the fans shall put him in a collar on the show. God bless" and the. Had the cat collar be Pete's idea?

So I've always thought that if both Pete and Ed were trans Pete would get really annoying about it and Ed would just be completely oblivious.

Oh I can SO see that. Pete just constantly being like "yeah we've got so much in common. He did my first T shot. I taught him how to shave. There's just this understanding between fellow trans guys that's impossible to describe, you wouldn't get it"

Ed doesn't even put it together that Pete's trans too until he hears Stede mention it offhandedly like five years after they meet.

also while we’re here trans black pete you will always be famous. if I could write lucius/pete with any confidence you would see the beautiful ideas in my mind about this.

still fascinated by the number of posts i see outlining "fix-its" for ofmd season 2 that amount to simply proposing that ofmd ought to just be a completely fundamentally different story that it never at any point showed any interest in being. you gotta learn to tell the difference between a story failing at what it's trying to do and a story that was always doing something you didn't want

"why didn't we get a full flashback episode showing the depth of ed and izzy's intense sexually charged relationship and how good and healthy it used to be before deteriorating and showing how izzy in his devotion always thought he was acting in ed's best interests" well, because then viewers might have thought izzy was always motivated by sincere concern for what he truly believed were ed's best interests, which would lead them into error
