you know a joke that never EVER gets old is when a character says smth like “I will NOT go to [place] and that is FINAL” and then it cuts to them in that place I eat that shit up every single time

Sometimes it feels like you've lived your whole life in a house that's always a little bit on fire. Like it's usually just in one room and you make sure to wet the walls around it so it doesn't spread and that usually works. You were expected to take more responsibility over fire containment when you were like seven because it's not like you can expect your parents to always be 100% on guard about making sure the whole house doesn't catch fire, and you figure that's just how things are like.

And sometimes as a kid you visit your friends' homes and some of then whisper to you - grimacing with embarrassment - about how they're not supposed to tell anyone this, but there's a whole room in their house that's currently on fire. And you're like yeah it's ok I'm not supposed to tell people about the way our house is a little bit on fire all the time, too. And then you visit some other friend's house and there's no trace of fire anywhere, and you think "wow, these people are really good at hiding their house fire."

And one day you show up to work like "hey sorry I'm late, I forgot to wet the walls before going to bed last night and my whole house burned down", and you're startled by the way people react, acting like that must be the worst thing that has ever happened to you. And you're just like "chill, it's been years since the last time this happened, and it wasn't even that bad this time", and that just makes people more shocked, acting like that's the weirdest and most concerning thing they've ever heard anyone say, which only confuses you more.

And then someone tries to explain to you that people aren't supposed to have an ongoing house fire. Most people actually never experience a house fire in their lives. Like not even once. Not even a little bit. The normal amount of having your house be currently on fire is zero.

A popular artist suddenly made a trans man comic, and the viewers are not getting it

Being against a trans man's transition because you think it's too boring is transphobic, actually.

can't stop thinking about this one fic i read where hank called connor's LED a blinker and how incredibly canon it seemed. now when i read a fic and he calls it an LED or a light-thingy my mind just automatically replaces it with the word blinker

Hi, friend!! :D

So I was watching season 2 again and forgot how much I enjoyed the episode where Penny gets on her 3rd strike meanwhile Howard and Raj are finding that model house. It ends with the two getting into the house, but leaves what happened to the imagination. Personally, I doubt that they got any of the models to hook up with them, but that's just common sense. How do you personally think it went down?

So I have to preface this by reminding you that the inside of my head looks like this:

As such, prior to right now I had no thoughts about what happened to Howard and Raj in the Top Model house.

But, yeah, there's no way either of them scored with any of the models. I think, best case scenario, they faked doing some repair work on the satellite TV and one of the girls gave them a kiss on the cheek as a thank you.

It's too bad really, because of the the models later goes on Craigslist looking for a physicist to meet. Howard and Raj may have been better off just being themselves.

fandom obsession with long fics is hurting fics just as much as it's hurting writers. because people tend to disregard anything below 10k most of the time (I've seen people say they don't read anything below 60k) writers feel the need to stretch their stories, to get more words in there to get more people to read their hard work. and I understand. no one wants to pour their heart and soul and time into something and have people not read it. but not all stories need to be that long. not all stories need every single thought and emotion of the characters explored. it genuinely hurts the story because you're supposed to be building towards something, building tension, and the longer it takes to get there, the more detours you take, you'll start to lose your audience. I've been seeing this more and more in smut scenes in particular. there's tension to maintain there, building towards literal and metaphorical release, and you don't want to maintain that tension too long or you'll lose it before you've reached your destination. idk. obviously read whatever you want. write whatever you want. but hopefully not for some arbitrary number some people on the internet set as the perfect number. if you think your story needs to be long do that. but more importantly if you think it doesn't, don't force it. let it be
