Just found out that Polidori's the Vampyre had an unofficial sequel and I literally squealed. It was very embarrassing, my excitement for a sequel in 1820 to a story that came out in 1819.

BUT, at the same time, Bérard would've totally read my fanfic so I should definitely write it-

God I'm just remembering how much I absolutely adore Detective Conan. I love the plots, I love the characters, I love the early artstyle way more than more modern ones because early Conan was so roumd, I love Shinichi's terrible acting convincing about zero percent of people, I love Ran being so pretty and yet canonically having the strength to punch straight through a brick wall, I love that Conan thinks he is the straightman of every situation when he is actually the most insane man at any given moment, I love the Kaitou Kid episodes because the magic tricks are so perilous but effective, I love Conan and Kid spending anytime with each other because it's fifty percent being annoyed by each other and fifty percent working surprisingly well together, I love that every animal in the series loves Conan (he rides a dog like a horse it's so cute), I love Ran being pretty reasonable about the majority of things but absurdly violent sometimes, I love Kogoro being a terrible father except when he's driving because he drives so carefully and pristinely and I try to invoke him whenever I drive myself, I love Agasa being a mad scientist but also the best friend a detective unexpectedly shrunk into the form of a child could ever hope for, I love the episodes where Conan isn't with either of the Mouris for whatever reason but they and the police all wait for Conan to give them hints and are disappointed when they remember, I love Kogoro wishing that Conan could solve his own kidnapping for them, I love the Detective Boys who just wanna help solve mysteries, I love the insane amount of FBI agents who come for the Black Organisation and stay to make fun of the small child, I love the former members and/or plants of the Black Organisation who stick around to make fun of the small child, I love the police being outdone by the small child, I love the other high school detectives who come but especially Hattori because he talked about Kudou so much he accidentally convinced his childhood friend that Kudou was his girlfriend, and I love Hattori slipping up and almost calling Conan Kudou multiple times, I love the anime, I want to eat the chase theme I fucking love the chase theme, I want to read the manga, I desire to own merchandise, I love the series so muuuuuuch

someone in the UK threw eggs at Charles and was arrested and has been banned from openly carrying eggs in public and has since been sent death threats but their statement on the matter was so fucking good

"autistic people need instructions for every simple task" okay how about we talk about the neurotypicals not following clear instructions. what do you mean it didn't work the way you wanted, i gave you the instructions. oh you didn't follow them? you didn't see where i clearly indicated the directions you were supposed to follow for this task? and you're shocked it didn't turn out right? you decided to pull a Jared I'm 19 and go rogue? you're surprised the road less travelled isn't fucking paved because no one travels it? do you get off on this

I don't really get why people are so critical of Dick's original Robin costume.

It's a leotard. People, especially people who do gymnastics, wear leotards. I myself have worn a leotard. It isn't that deep, people. It's easier to contort your body if you wear something that stretches. Leotards are basically perfect.

I don't get it. Like, legitimately, why can't Dick wear a leotard? Why must he wear pants? He's a gymnast, he's an acrobat, he's unashamed, he should be wearing a leotard.

Do people think leotards are sex things? Because I've seen people in the past call one piece swimsuits (you know, the leotards you swim in) children's swimsuits precisely because they aren't the sexy swimsuits. People wear leotards all the time. Have you ever worn a swimsuit/leotard in place of a bra? It's so much more comfortable.

Leotards are comfortable to move in. They're easy to move in. I see people, especially children, wear leotards in public all the time. Why can't Dick, especially when he's portrayed as a child, wear a leotard??

When I was in high school, my friends and I had a "book club" where we all read different books and periodically told each other about them.

It's something I kind of miss, just hearing my friends' thoughts on whatever they're reading/doing/playing at the time, so I think I should make a Discord server where everyone just infodumps about whatever thing they're into or whatever they're currently hyperfixating on and everyone else responds with encouragement or questions.

Like we all just post what we're into and respond to each other when we can, that way we can maybe get into new things when we're between fixations or just make friends with people with the same fixations.

If you have any ideas or suggestions, feel free to reach out.

Somebody Told Me by the Killers is fascinating because I don't understand it.

Specifically:

"Somebody told me that you had a boyfriend that looked like a girlfriend that I had in February of last year."

Because, like, this could mean that "I" had a girlfriend, back in February, who then ended up being "your" boyfriend. It could mean, since the word "had" was used, that "you" had a boyfriend who then ended up being "my" girlfriend in February of last year. It could mean that "your" boyfriend and "my" girlfriend just look a lot alike, maybe they're siblings. It could mean that one of "us" was highly confused and was dating the same sex, either "my" girlfriend was actually a man or "your" boyfriend was actually a girl. It could mean that some genderfluid person back in the day dated both of "us."

But really it's the line after, "It's not confidential, I've got potential." that baffles me.

What does this mean? I assume that it means "I" want to be "your" boyfriend, but what does you having a boyfriend who looks like a girlfriend I had in February of last year have to do with it? Do I look like a girl? Do I look like my ex girlfriend? Did we date the exact same person, therefore implying we have the same taste in people and so you should date me?

I don't get it and I honestly never want to get it because I find it funnier to be confused.

never feel like i can reblog any posts about how i love seeing men beat up and crying and being miserable bc i feel like a lot of them originate from a place of not liking men. you want to see men having a miserable time because you hate men. i want to see men having a miserable time because im a sadomasochist faggot who loves them. we are not the same.

When I was younger I realized that I was attracted to both genders an equal amount, like my affection was completely personality based (based on whether or not they laughed at my jokes) so I assumed for the longest time that I was bi/pan and just too young to really care about sex.

But then I grew up more and everytime I imagine myself in a sexual situation I'm totally turned off, like it's a literal lightswitch and the moment I'm in the picture the power goes out in half the state. And I realized that my idea of romance has always been relatively sex-free because I myself just view sex as something to observe from a corner while taking notes and while I've always been curious to try sex, it's in a "penises and vaginas look squishy" sort of way.

Anyway, long story short, for the longest time I thought I was just super supportive of asexual/aromantic people because they aren't so different from pan/bi people, but I eventually realized that they just weren't so different from me, specifically.

Happy Pride everyone.
