For the love of all that you enjoy: DON’T PAYWALL YOUR FANFICTION.
Again, but louder:
DON’T PAYWALL YOUR FANFICTION
It’s getting more and more common. I’ve seen three posts about it in the last 24 hours - patreons where you’ll get “exclusive” fanfiction stories if you’re a subscriber.
Don’t.
Don’t do it.
It’s annoying, but mostly it’s fucking dangerous.
The whole fanfiction community prosper on someone else’s turf under “fair use” laws. In simple terms: we can play with other people’s creations for as long as it’s done for our own amusement, and that of our followers.
Once any kind of financial benefits are made, it becomes another abuse of someone else’s rights.
And look, I get it. It sucks, especially seeing the artists take commissions while the authors get nothing, and it takes hours and hours of our time, and I understand people are looking for a side hustle to make ends meet in this monstrosity of a capitalist society, but if we don’t stop it from happening, the rights owners will stop it.
And they’ll stop it for everyone.
It’s not worth it. Don’t do it.

I hate the sound of babies crying, but I can't hate a baby. They've been here for like five minutes and approach this situation with an unhesitant attitude of "my needs are unmet and I am going to make it everybody's problem", and I respect that.

I have a friend who keeps mocking me whenever I make any comparison or address theirs, it almost feels like I was personally attacking them.
I don't know who needs to hear this, but when you start nitpicking the metaphor, neurotypical people interpret it as you disagreeing with the point that they're making. If someone says "there's no more reason to do that to a child than there'd be reason to do that to a horse", and you go "actually, in extremely rare singular case circumstances, it's okay to do that to a horse", they assume that you also mean that there are extremely rare singular case circumstances where you think it' be ok to do that to a child.
They interpret you nitpicking the way they worded what they say as you disagreeing with what they're saying.

Everyone say thank you Shara Kirby
She’s DeVoid’s VA in the pilot so this counts as a sneak peek 🖤

been trying to use more gender neutral language lately since ive a habit of referring to the group i hang out with as "the lads". which sometimes works but i currently am mostly hanging around with a bunch of non binary and genderless individuals so i feel like lads is not accurate. but instead calling them stuff like "everyone" ive taken to calling them "pikmin" due to the fact that they skitter around and idle aimlessly unless i take the lead and direct them towards a task such as carrying objects to bring back to my ship in order for me to escape the planet before my life support system runs out of power

shorthands for dumbassery that i have grown to love deeply
"how dare you say we piss on the poor" in response to someone misinterpreting your post
"_ isnt gonna fuck you" for suck up behavior
"woah. should we tell everyone? should we throw a party?" for who the fuck cares
"and what if the world was made of pudding" for when would this ever matter.
"and sharks are smooth both ways" for a group of people heatedly arguing with 1 guy who is fucking with them all
".. but its about a witch in the alps finding her lost cat" for someone trying to sanitize something to the point of absurdity

I want to have my friends around, even if we aren't interacting. I wanna assemble my furniture while they play with their phone or anything, I just wanna be around, no matter what.
People talk about how hard long distance relationships are but nobody talks about the struggle of long distance friendships. I would give my left leg right now to just be able to sit in our pjs and watch movies or to just be able to give a big fucking hug.
