idk why people are still trying to do "hear me out"s on tumblr

you could talk about wanting to fuck the space needle on here and people would still call you a poser for insisting on fucking "conventionally attractive architecture" as if that's a coherent, easily-recognizable category

The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles have elected a new Pope.

starting to see people laying down the law about how to be fannish about Murderbot. don't like that.

may i recommend if you see someone being fannish about anything in a way that seriously bothers you, you block that person and move on with your life rather than throwing a shitfit about how their version of storytime is wrong. we are playing with fiction. real people are safe because fiction isn't real. you don't have to read stories that upset you but you have to make that choice yourself rather than put it on other people.

can we be cool about this, folks?

When you accidentally say the q word (quest) and your knight starts gently clanking from their happy wiggles like now you've done it, you have to send them into the dragon's lair or their helmet ploom will droop and they'll start waxing sad poetic in the moonlight

I am literally fucking BEGGING people to stop saying "ax oh lot uhl." That is absolutely the WRONG way to pronounce that word.

I know the song about the axolotl on the stairs is very cute, but it is teaching kids how to pronounce a Nahuatl word VERY VERY WRONG. Can we all please spend like 30 seconds watching this very nice person show y'all how to say it right? Please?

(Yeah, I used to say it wrong too, and then a friend was kind enough to correct me on the way the word is pronounced in their ancestral language and so now every time I hear it wrong it's like nails on a chalkboard & makes me embarrassed.)

Things cats were right about all along:

Fuck staying hydrated by drinking enough water - eat! more! wet! food! (watermelon, cucumbers, SOUP!)

Feels great to be really high up in your house where you can see the whole place (loft bed loft bed loft bed loft bed!)

Express yourself as clearly as possible when people are touching you and you don't want them to.

Optional, but you can also express yourself clearly when your people are not touching you and you want them to.

Sometimes it's important to just go "hmm. actually, I don't care" and wander off.

You don't have to be the strongest or toughest to defend yourself, it's enough to just be difficult enough to not be worth the trouble.

Ghosts will eventually leave if you stare at them for long enough.

Enemies-to-lovers? NO. Enemies who stay enemies while menacingly making out with daggers pointed at each other’s throats

If you’re pining you need to stop and pick a different tree. You know, spruce it up a little

"The trannies should be able to piss in whatever toilet they want and change their bodies however they want. Why is it my business if some chick has a dick or a guy has a pie? I'm not a trannie or a fag so I don't care, just give 'em the medicine they need."

"This is an LGBT safe space. Of COURSE I fully support individuals who identify as transgender and their right to self-determination! I just think that transitioning is a very serious choice and should be heavily regulated. And there could be a lot of harm in exposing cis children to such topics, so we should be really careful about when it is appropriate to mention trans issues or have too much trans visibility."

One of the above statements is Problematic and the other is slightly annoying. If we disagree on which is which then working together for a better future is going to get really fucking difficult.

It is November of 1893. You have just killed a vampire. Exhausted and worn, you close your eyes and rest.

You wake up. It is May of 1893. You are on a train en route to Transylvania. Your diary says you have had queer dreams lately.

You try to believe it.

(An old woman puts a rosary in your hands. You accept it without question.)

You are a guest in a castle you have never been in before (you recognize every hallway and know without trying that every door is locked). Your host is a man you have never met before (you killed him you killed him you killed him he had turned to dust and there was blood on the snow).

One morning you cut yourself while shaving.

There is nobody behind you in the pocket mirror’s reflection.

You turn fast, and the razor is like a Kukri knife in your hand.
