Ao3 version that lets you open the 'director's cut' where I, the author, explain every detail in excruciating detail to you and what it is in reference to.

hi everybody please reblog this and tell me your go-to coffee order right now and if you don't like coffee feel free to include your go-to tea order instead

no but i just realized that haymitch and lucy gray both broke their games’ respective rules in order to win or sabotage their arena…

you know who played by the rules though? the two who ended up sparking the rebellion. the two snow couldn’t squash down.

they played by the rules until the rules kept changing and then decided if the gamemakers wouldn’t play fair, neither would they.

a feel like the new generation of fanfic readers NEED to understand that clicking on a fic (interaction) does nothing. ao3 has no algorithm. your private discord discussions of fic do not reach the authors. if you do not actively engage with writers they will stop posting. this isn’t social media this is community.

You guys realize you’re interacting with other human beings on here, right?

i like to think that through the entire revolution, through all that trauma, clerk carmine was consistently side eyeing haymitch. like i know that man didn’t let him rest for a second.

Thinking about Haymitch tapping his foot to the music at Finnick and Annie’s wedding, only to look and see Clerk Carmine staring him down.

no actually i don't think antivaxxers' kids should die from a disease. i don't think gun advocates' kids should die in school shooting. children dying is bad actually, even if they're children of people you don't like.

Re: my “don’t ‘test’ people, communicate your needs, because they aren’t instinctive to others” post:

I feel like a lot of people are reading that post and saying “if your friend/partner/colleague can’t be arsed to take the initiative, be courteous, or anticipate reasonable needs, they’re a selfish baby”

Which, on one hand, yes! Distributing labour in a shared space is a form of invisible labour that typically women are saddled with in disproportionately high percentages, but that wasn’t actually what I was saying

If the first time you notice something you desire isn’t being fulfilled you decide to test the other person and judge whether or not they care about you, that’s shitty. You have the responsibility to say “hey, I noticed this and it bothers me for this reason, when you do this I feel like this, can you do something else?”.

If you have done that REPEATEDLY and see no change, then it may be reasonable to conclude that the other person is disregarding your words.

If this is something that you have never pointed out before, or that you spontaneously decided to look for, or something that’s only come up once, don’t fucking “test” people. Don’t lie. Don’t try and “trap” them. That’s shitty. Come on

I’m a messy person with ADHD. I live alone. I clean up after myself and feed myself and everything an independent adult does on a schedule that WORKS for me. If you suddenly appear in my space and hate how I live but say nothing, I’m going to take you at face value and believe that you’re okay until you say otherwise.

Because why wouldn’t I? Why would I believe you’re lying to my face about your preferences and needs? Why would you want me to never believe what you say???

SAY WHAT YOU NEED. TELL ME HOW TO SHOW I CARE ABOUT YOUR COMFORT AND I WILL USE THAT INFORMATION.

Don’t just change a detail in your behaviour and judge mu character based on whether or not I can Sherlock Holmes your intent and desires off that alone

Attitude is communicated in REPEATED AND CLEARLY COMMUNICATED PATTERNS, not in one-offs, assumptions, and symbolism open to interpretation.

People are people, not books or TV shows. You can talk to them- you don’t have to do a literary analysis on whether or not a carton of milk means I’m a selfish bastard who doesn’t love you

I have some news for members of the united states armed forces who feel like they are pawns in a political game and their assignments being unnecessary.

confession: I've been on the internet for the majority of my life and still don't know what a proshipper is. you're one of my mutuals so I thought I should ask you since it's in your bio and I wanted a response that wasn't 'they're the scum of the earth and I hope they kys' (ignore me hiding behind anon lol. I'm not trying to get yelled at in my own inbox I hope you can understand)

Hi! A proshipper is someone who doesn't care what someone else ships or why! In my case, I find darker content intriguing because I like exploring the effects of things that can happen to people.

But yeah, it's just ship and let ship! You can always DM me too if you want more of a discussion about it!

On the topic of scars I'd like to say that yeah, someone else's scars might be triggering to you based on your assumptions about them, however your discomfort does not under any circumstances come before their bodily autonomy. You don't get to decide what other people are allowed to wear for your comfort, you don't get to decide whether someone is allowed to be out in public if they can't hide their scars. How you feel about someone else's body isn't their fault and isn't their problem. You can move away if you really need to.

New [tumblr] users: there is something very important for you to know.

There is a secret callsign for [tumblr] users.

If you spot a wild [tumblr] human in the wild, you must tell them this phrase:

"I like your shoelaces."

The appropriate reverse-call, if you hear this phrase, goes thusly:

"Thanks! I stole them from the president."

I'm paying literal actual money for you to see this, so don't let it be in vain. Use this phrase everywhere.

"what did students do before chatgpt?" well one time i forgot i had a history essay due at my 10am class the morning of so over the course of my 30 minute bus ride to school i awkwardly used by backpack as a desk, sped wrote the essay, and got an A on it.

six months later i re-read the essay prior to the final exam, went 'ohhhh yeah i remember this', got a question on that topic, and aced it.

point being that actually doing the work is how you learn the material and internalize it. ChatGPT can give you a short cut but it won't build you the the muscles.
