aro culture is getting so fucking tired of people using the fact that there's a queer romance in something as a reason you should watch it. like haven't allos had enough of romance? queer or otherwise? I'm not saying queer representation is bad, of course, I'm just fed up with asking what a book is about and in response all I get is "oh it has queer people in it" cool! what is it about? having queer representation is not the be all end all of media can we please have ONE thing without romance in it. please.

I visited a certain haunted house yesterday 👻
As a little belated birthday treat, my family and I went on a trip to Kerpen and Bergheim to visit Burg Bergerhausen (where the first series of the German adaption of BBC Ghosts was shot earlier this month) and Schloss Paffendorf.
Burg Bergerhausen - or Burg Donnerhall as it will be called in the show - is gorgeous. A wedding reception was held there yesterday so I did not take a lot of pictures but you can walk around the whole house which is surrounded by a beautiful moat and observe the local wildlife living there. It is smaller and more compact than West Horsley Place but definitely feels like the kind of place you could inherit and be overwhelmed by. As I mentioned in this post before, the house is not open to the public but the park area around it is.
And because it's only 15 minutes away, we also visited Schloss Paffendorf which is quite a bit larger and more impressive than Burg Bergerhausen. It's also not open to the public but there is a little café there and you can walk through the park behind the property which features huge ginkgo trees, sequoias and magnolias and is breath-takingly beautiful, even in the pouring rain. My whole family agreed we have to come back when it's not raining one day.
So if you're planning on visiting Burg Bergerhausen, make sure you go to Schloss Paffendorf as well because it's really close by and well worth a visit (even little Thomas thought it was nice 😉).

I Shall Not Become My Mom#ANYWAY i need my own kitchen!!!!!#wow i have a ramble tag now

Wait, aww does dipper sometimes cook for bill? (Well saying making spicy instant noodles is cooking is a little far fetched but still)
I mean, sometimes!
In the Familiar AU, Dipper and Mabel basically grew up with Stan - and experienced the cooking skills thereof. When faced with choosing a life of glitter in his digestive tract, or earnest but burnt waffles, Dipper figured he might as well learn to cook. He's not winning any culinary awards or anything, but he can follow a recipe and make a decent pasta dish.
Besides. The alternative to Dipper cooking for Bill - is Bill cooking for Dipper. And since Bill's idea of delicacies involve terms like 'unholy abomination', 'unbearably spicy', or 'still squirming', Dipper's more likely than not to shove him out of the kitchen.
They mostly get lot of takeout.

i have no fucking clue how the cro.ss gui.ld polycule even gets together. i think i've already established that kittay and bu.ggy get together pretty soon after marine.ford, and for the purpose of [gestures vaguely] this i'd like to think that croco.dile and mi.hawk already had their own thing together by the time cro.ss gui.ld happened. but i have no idea how to connect those two. i KNOW i'll need to fix the shit that bu.ggy's followers do (the things that piss croco.dile and mi.hawk off like the poster and the ship) but i don't know what will work or how much changing those things will affect later events because i BARELY have anything to WORK WITH

All the #RyouSweep propaganda got me thinking like. Yeah we all criticize Ryou for STILL FUCKING GOING BACK FOR THE DAMN RING in Battle City (and every other time lbr), and rightfully so, but if we’re being honest. In his defense it WAS kind of horrendously irresponsible of the Yugis to just leave two wholeass Millennium Items just sitting on a table and then leave the room. Why did they do that

the thing about Strong Female Characters is I actually like them
#I think the sfc discourse can have a lot of nuance and often it's boiled down to either#all sfcs are just two-dimensional caricatures#or all sfcs are good and if you hate them you hate women#and it's being condemned more and more as a phrase#but the thing is all the discussion about what about women who aren't strong what about women who are annoying or cowardly or#*insert other characteristic here*#is that it does lowkey leave women with more traditionally masculine traits out in the cold#which sucks because I think they're cool and rad as hell#on the other hand I also think they should be written as people#there is the danger of them being flattened for sure#and there is the danger of them being the only kind of female character written#but actually the worry that the're the only kind of female character ever written? literally isn't true#like I've never found myself in a situation where I haven't had access to lots of different kinds of female characters#although who knows maybe I'm particularly lucky in that sense#anyway the issue has layers and nuance meaning I refuse to discuss it in depth on the internet#AND ANOTHER THING then there's the discussion of how sfc means female character who's strongly written which is a whole thing#but also once again runs the risk of leaving the more typically masculine women out in the cold#anyway what this boils down to is I love seeing a woman punch someone I think it's fun and I support it fully and if that's her entire#character arc if her whole arc is learning how to punch someone better frankly there are days when I'm on board with that

I fucking knew it, I SAID it: they're making ADHD people the next culture war targets. They will 'just ask questions' until we lose every scrap of ground we've gained in the last decade and more. We may not quite inspire the same level of hatred as a sexual minority, but we can very easily be made to inspire disdain and that also works.
They will strip us of our accomodations and our medications and try to stifle any sense of shared identity, and if that kills some of us, oh well. So long as it fuels another outrage cycle, fine.
So many of the tropes they've been using on trans people work extremely well on ADHD people too! "There are too many of these people suddenly! It must be a fad! It spreads through friend groups! And online! People are going private for diagnoses and that's bad! They are using pOwERfUl medical interventions and we think it's freaky!"
I saw the first ripples of this in terf circles about two years ago. And of course it's spread.
6% of British ADHD people lost their jobs in the last year thanks to the meds shortage. SIX PER CENT! And that just made these ghouls go "ooh, tasty, what else can we do?"
Recently an 'expert' was on the BBC saying people see ADHD diagnosis as a "golden ticket." Laurence Fox has been ranting that the condition doesn't exist and threatening "'you won't poison my child's body [with ADHD meds] against my consent"
People need to be aware this is going to get worse. Maybe, if we're lucky, it won't get really bad. But it's going to get worse than it is now.
