twitter post i saw saying you can't engage in the fandom for a video game if you haven't played it yourself. it's one thing to engage in fandom for something you have full access to like tv/movies/books/ad when you've never actively consumed that piece of media and then acting like there's any opinion you can have in that space

to like. watching someone play a video game. or watching no commentary playthroughs on youtube. like. you can 100% be apart of a fandom in that case. it's weird if you say someone can't be just bc they haven't played a video game. like for most people it's just impossible to play every damn game.

like people who watch playthroughs/lore-dumps/etc of video games are being way more active in participating vs someone who has never engaged in the source material and only get their info through fanon. which is wild to me ppl like this exist. idk how you can do that. it sounds so boring

Was talking to a coworker today who explained that her grandfather was like Snow White “but Californian. And an old man.” in that the creatures of the forest would follow him around and presumably duet with him.

“When he died the ravens sat in the trees outside for a week, watching. Taking turns. A horde of raccoons tried to break into the house every night, tearing at the siding. Eventually they gave up, but it was unsettling.”

“Aww. They were checking on him!” I said, like a normal person. Internally, I thought “Maybe you could do the thing you do with dead pets, where you show them to the living pets so the living pet understands they’re gone. But I guess if you did that to a bunch of scavenging species, they’d be like “Well, that’s very sad but he IS food now.” So what you’d need, for human sensibilities, is some sort of transparent corpse barrier. Like a see-through coffin oh that’s what the dwarves were doing! You’ve stopped paying attention to this conversation about the loss of a beloved family member you gotta phase back in.”

modern social media should stop offering "sync with your phone contacts to follow them" options and start offering "block all your phone contacts so they never see your account" options

Long before the introduction of color film, a Russian chemist and photographer named Sergey Prokudin-Gorsky used an innovative technique. He took three individual black and white photos, each through a colored filter (red, green, and blue), to create fully colored, high-quality pictures. The photo of this woman, taken by him, is around 107 years old!

Honestly, if you're a kid and an adult tells you "they're just trying to get a reaction out of you :)" as a response to being told that some younger kid is tormenting you, that should count as full permission to punt that little shit. Like I would never hit a child, but if you're seven years old and a five-year-old is being a cunt at you and adults just tell you "oh they just want to find out what happens if they keep doing that", wouldn't only be fair to let them know what happens if they keep doing that?

Siblings should never be left responsible of raising each other, but if adults have decided that they are allowed to fuck around, wouldn't it only be your right - or even downright duty - to let them consequently find out?

How did I only now realize that Helen's lyrics in Opening are most likely written by Lloyd?? Some parts are sardonic ("let's play with your heart, see what it takes it to break") and he would be the one to write their song lyrics...

WAIT is "one day you'll appear with us here on this stage" supposed to be directed towards the AI, then?? Since it was supposed to be their refuge in the CU and all?

I wish kinky sex ed wasn't so stigmatized even among left-leaning "sex positive" circles. Everyone's all "uwu I'm a sub I'll do anything you ask" okay mommy wants you to read The New Bottoming Book so you learn how to sub without hurting yourself since your sex ed up to this point is porn and your ex boyfriend Jared who liked to choke you incorrectly

Journalling is fun. You'll just write some of your thoughts and suddenly you think "Oooh THAT'S why I related to that character to a near unhealthy degree!"
