“I think a servant of the enemy would look fairer and feel fouler”

Friendly reminder that Frodo called Aragorn ugly ☝🏻

getting emotionally attatched to mutuals and recognizing people's usernames and then being sad when they leave or dont come online anymore

Sorry it’s early but you really can’t use fanfiction terms in a non fanfiction context like if someone is trying to sell me a book to read and they tell me there’s an enemy to lovers I would be annoyed because why are you spoiling the story lol

there’s obviously a lot of nuance to to this conversation, but I feel like the way that people nowadays talk about friendships is so cold and devoid of love or empathy. like you aren’t allowed to complain or be sad, ur burdening ur friends with ur problems, helping someone through a hard time is ‘emotional labour’ and ‘you don’t owe anyone anything’ and I’m just thinking what does friendship even mean to you then? like honestly? people say ‘I’m not your therapist’ as if therapy is the answer to everything. what a sad world where a paid clinician is the only person you’re allowed to be emotionally vulnerable with. this ultra individualistic mindset leads to everyone feeling alone and isolated and we’ve lost all concept of community and support systems

i know pirates of the caribbean would have never been made today (on-location practical effects film) but if it WAS...

we'd absolutely have another "Introducing Disney's First Ever LGBT Character!!" moment, and of course everyone would be like "oh yeah, jack sparrow is bisexual, we're aware, got it." and then disney would be like "No."

and so we'd be like, "Oh, okay, Pintel and Ragetti are definitely not related and there's something homeoerotic going on there. Cool. We support that." and disney would go "No..."

and then they'd point to this fucking picture

"Maccus, the shark-headed first mate, has unrequited feelings for Davy Jones..." and there'd be an approximately 0.5 second scene where Maccus looks at Davy out of the corner of his 3rd eye and goes "Davy....." and Davy ignores him and disney is like "We're so brave for this."

and it'd be another goddamn gaston/le fou situation where half of y'all would be going "oh my god slayyyy love is reeaaalll" while the other half are pointing out how weirdly homophobic it is to have the cursed, PERPETUALLY DAMNED, ANIMAL-LIKE men be hinted as gay

and the fanart would be vile

was thinking about a ???% that still had pupils but like in a dead fish stare way

I am actually so serious I think it really messes with a childs creativity and joy to tell them to never make a mary sue OC. Like that unbridaled form of joy where you make a self insert OC who super cool and everyone loves them and they have every superpower in the world SHOULD be something a kid makes, it nourishes their ability to create things for fun and not be stifled by "oh but what if my character is too overpowered and cringey...". whatever

Guys I'm really asking you to take a breath before you reblog something.

I keep seeing posts that are sourced purely from images with no link back to the source. Images are trivially easy to fake - are you sure it's not propaganda?

I keep seeing posts that come from sources that aren't journalistic organizations. We've just gone through a whole blow-up about James Somerton and how easy it is as a "creator" or "blogger" to, to put this kindly, be cavalier with sourcing/verifying information. Please take a moment to verify the facts with some sort of ethical reporting organization before you rebagel it.

There are a lot of stories that don't get picked up by news organizations, or if they do, details don't get reported. And so it's really easy to just assume that's why you haven't heard about a specific thing. But that's a really easy loophole for bad actors to spread outright misinformation or something seasoned with the truth.

There's a lot of bad shit happening right now, and it's only going to get worse as the world destabilizes under climate catastrophe. When so much is already being asked of all of us, it's one more thing to do - but it's also a form of harm reduction.

Please think about it.
