I think there's something to be said for fanfiction that loves canon in a way that’s rude. Like thank you for this wonderful thematic tragedy made out of this character’s entire arc ending in death, it was emotionally and intellectually moving, but also fuck you fuck you fuck you they live, this time and every time they live, they never died, their flaws are not their undoing, actually they have no flaws, actually they save everyone, actually who cares about a story, any story, where this one dies, actually i cared about that story so much i made a new one, actually i cared so much i unmade the old one, you gave me morals and i left them for the mortal, but they’re mine now and i will never let them die, actually thank you, actually fuck you, strongly worded letter to follow
A kiss for canon and spit in its face all at once, it’s great

Thinking about. Rizbert. Erizabeth. Rizwalda. Riz has to be short for something because... because why? Is he 'too good' for a short name? (a goblin name?) Isn't he surrounded by non-goblins who cannot think outside their cultural perceptions of what a name is supposed to be? Riz both as a name and as a person seems short & lesser but don't worry, he's really something greater, something larger and longer than can be expressed with his native name. As if something small cannot be powerful and important without secretly being large. As if there is only one way to be great. It's like Sklonda said, his name is Riz. Just Riz, as if there's anything 'just' about it.

Back in book 5 when they’re stuck in the wall and they see Quan Yizhen’s head sticking out Xie Lian is like “that was probably Qi Ying!” and Hua Cheng doesn’t immediately know what he’s talking about. Hua Cheng, guy with all knowledge of the known universe (or at least the heavens) at his fingertips, who can recite centuries old poems and teach himself to read dead languages and historical contexts nobody in the past millennia has experienced, has to think for a second before he can remember who the fuck “Qi Ying” is. This is literally The Guy whose existence was the center of his best subordinate’s main trauma, and he knows all the context to their falling out, yet nowhere in his eidetic memory is he “Qi Ying”, nor is he “Quan Yizhen” nor is he even “the martial god of the west”. When Hua Cheng remembers him, it’s “Oh, the one with the curly hair. I guess that was him.” What do you mean “I guess”??? This just shows that Quan Yizhen is such a non-threat, so inconsequential to him or his cause that he didn’t even register a name for the kid, much less a title or role. Everyone else is out here murdering, forging, stealing, backstabbing, while Yizhen is just out here living his best life. Kicking and punching, mid-day napping, no scandals, no need to worry about him. Certified little guy award.

Hey thinking about how in both timelines all Nick ever wanted was to make his father proud. Adapting and modeling his personality after his father, be it Glenn or Jodie. Because the only thing he ever wanted was his father's love. Thinking about how we can assume that Glenn did the same thing to appease Bill. Thinking about the fact that Taylor also wanted his father's love but never changed or remodeled his own personality and interests to receive said love. Thinking about the fact that he realized that his own sense of self is far more important than receiving artificial feelings of pride from a man who didn't even bother to get to know him. He finally broke the cycle. Yeah

don't wanna derail the post I saw this discussion on- it was all in the notes anyway, so it certainly isn't op's problem. I'm gonna say this with so much love:
Calling somebody a 'theyfab' is not punching up. If someone's being transmisogynistic, say that, or call them a bigot. Naming the tangible harm done to you will always be the most effective thing to do.
The cis people who created that term made it with the explicit intent to mock and insult people's identities. No matter what you mean when you say it, this is its origin and to most people, its only meaning. It describes nothing about the discrimination you face.
People afab are marginalized, especially if they're queer. You cannot "punch up" on a fellow oppressed group. I understand the specific vitriol that they inflict on you hurts.
You don't need a word to call somebody, you need and deserve adequate justice for the tangible harm done to you; and my heart aches that nobody queer- especially trans women- ever seems to receive that.
I'm aware I can't make anybody do anything, so I'm not gonna try to tell you not to use that word. I just want to say it can't ever address, undo, or heal any harm done to you. It can only redirect it.

figured I should hop onto the Richboy! Gojo trend i’ve been seeing!
warnings: blood, period. afab reader.
a/n: not proofread lol. wrote this when my phone was at 10% so a bit rushed. had this idea for a while. Richboy! Gojo drinks nothing but respect y/n juice everyday.
Richboy! Gojo who has had his eye on you for months.
Richboy Gojo! whom you can’t stand because he’s entitled and gets whatever he wants.
Richboy! Gojo who practically begs you to go out with him! just one date and he’ll stop. and to get him to shut up, you say yes. to one date.
The day of the date comes and your stomach hurts but you figured it was just nerves.
Richboy! Gojo who picks you up right on time. Not a minute early, not a minute late. He takes you to the destination. The mall. You figured it was so he can flaunt off his money, but really it’s to get to know you. What you like and don’t like. Ideas for future gifts and surprises.
Now your stomach really hurts. Really, really hurts. You excuse yourself to the restroom and rush there. To no avail, there’s blood. Enough to seep through the pants you’re wearing. great.
you have no idea how you’re going to get out of this and how you’re gonna cover this up.
You must have been there a while because eventually Richboy! Gojo comes knocking on the door. “y/n? is everything okay.”
you could tell him to screw off and leave you alone but he’s your only way out. You open up the door. “Go-“ but you don’t get many words out because Richboy! Gojo has already looked down and seen the stain on your pants.
“stay here. don’t leave. i’ll be right back.” and with that he grabs the door shut.
it’s been 30 minutes, an hour maybe when finally you hear a knock on the door. “y/n? can i come in?”
you get up and unlock the door and let him in. Richboy! Gojo walks in with multiple bags in hand.
“okay for starters I didn’t know if you used cups, pads, or tampons so I got a box of each.” he hands them to you and continues on. Then I went around to multiple stores and found you some new underwear too. Grabbed a few pairs for you too because I wasn’t sure what you preferred.” He then hands you a Victorias Secret bag. “then I stopped by another store selling leggings and got you, again a few pairs in different styles and sizes. Anything that doesn’t fit we can just return.” He hands you the last bag and gets ready to walk out, but before doing so, tunes back towards you.
“Oh yeah I got you these too, just incase you’re cranking.” He tosses you a bottle of Tylenol and leaves the bathroom. You sort through the bags and grab what you need.
Once dressed Richboy! Gojo takes the remainder of the bags (bloodied clothes tossed into a bag you had emptied). “I can take these to the car, and then we can continue on here. Or we can leave. it’s up to you.”
“I don’t care.” warming up to this Gojo. who isn’t as consisted and spoiled as you thought. “as long as it’s with you.”

OKAY, here it is! this is an open-access folder for everyone who has already made a mclennon powerpoint or would like to read them. the first principle of academia is collaborative knowledge-building and I think we can all agree this is a very academic topic.
@franklyimissparis @rage-in-eden @camibispace you have all mentioned your own presentations, so feel free to drop them in if you would like to (and anyone else!)

if you are in the US and are at risk of unwanted pregnancy, you should buy mifepristone immediately while it's still legal to mail so you can have it on hand just in case (it should keep for about 2 years). the future of this method of medication abortion is seriously at risk. it is very important that you are prepared for a worst case scenario
if this applies to you or a loved one go here and follow the instructions. it's $150 so if you are not at risk of unwanted pregnancy and are able, please consider helping others with the cost, or buying some to have on hand in case someone you know needs it in the future
edit: just wanted to add that I personally have already bought and received a provisional dose in case I know someone who needs one from this site so I can confirm that it is legit
