On one hand, I really encourage folks to move away from the mental framework of blocking/muting people as a form of punishment or insult in fandom spaces. It can just be that you don't vibe, for whatever reason. Different perspectives, different vibes. Maybe they just constantly are posting untagged pictures of rabbits and you hate them, whatever. It's neutral.

On the other hand, I do think most communities, past a certain size, have at Least One Person who's just Awful. Sometimes in a "right wing bigot" way, sometimes in a "you're just deeply combative and mean-spirited and every other post you make seems intended to spur hate filled drama". and for that I do imagine the block button as me tossing them into a dark little box where hopefully no one can hear their voice.

one of the reasons i enjoy keiji zero so much is that it dares to ask the question of "what if your traumagenic alter had autism"

As funny as that would be, it runs counter to how I play youkai on this blog. They're shaped by the beliefs of society, especially human society, not their own beliefs.

Besides, it's fun to make her suffer.

"Fuck off! I've done enough suffering in the last day!"

I feel this rabid need and desire to make a Zam drawing with lyrics to I/Me/Myself — Will Wood bc it is SO Zam coded except for the gender identity angst which like, if I knew enough of Zam in this LifeSteal season I could even spin it into the VAST AMOUNTS of angst that motherfucker shoved into his little cubito character--

Grief is a funny thing. I know it’s probably gonna hit me slowly, through this week and the months that follows. I brace myself for that impact.

I’m not gonna sit here and pretend like I didn’t care about mask4mask. These characters meant the world to me. And I will miss them. And this breaks my heart. But sometimes things just come to an end.

It’s never too late in a relationship to realize you deserve better.

nothing but respect for our troops (smut writers) but listen. i dont want to be the person to tell you this, but not every character is going to be a dom or a sub. some people. and i know this is hard to hear. but some people do have vanilla sex. and some of those people might even be The Character.

Suzanne Collins just said fuck you to everyone who’s ever critiqued the Hunger Games as being a “teen girl saves the day” story. She said oh, Mockingjay didn’t make it clear enough? Here’s a book about how people have been rebelling for decades only to have their efforts suppressed and propagandized. Rebellion takes time and it takes failure and Katniss may have been the spark that ignited the wildfire but she did so standing atop the doused flames of everyone who came before her.

it turns out a lot of people are actually on the same page about whether or not they'd work if they didn't have to earn money, we just all seem to have wildly different definitions of what counts as work. i'll see one person say "of course i would, i'd still want to create art and volunteer in my local community" and another say "hell no i wouldn't, i'd quit work and just create art and volunteer in my local community" and then they look at eachother like they said something incomprehensible.

unpopular opinion but i think a ship that's not canon but both halves are canonically insane about each other is infinitely better than a ship that's canon and boring

Class 1 recall on Tostitos. (Class 1 means they can kill you if consumed, this time because of undeclared milk. Having food allergies really sucks.)

kill 'character did nothing wrong'. nurture 'character did everything wrong and i was whooping and cheering the whole time'
