RE the "Main problem with AI generation" post: I want to learn more about AI in an actually anticapitalist way and not some spiritual "meaning of art" bs way, but isn't "art theft" and the exploitation of labour not also an issue with generative AI in addition to the displacement of working class artists? Even if you are anti-copyright, artists' labour being taken without permission or compensation by corporations is just as exploitative of workers as outright replacing them. I definitely agree with you when you say hobbyists are not the enemy, and I actually support people creating models models that respect other people's work like what Reach has been trying to do, but I still feel like that "art theft" by corporations is another issue alongside displacing workers that's why most artists feel that AI generated work is unethical, at least as far as commercial models and MidJourney go.

well we can agree to disagree! while i certainly empathize with the feeling (especially because these commercial models are being utilized in Bad Ways) - i..... just don't agree! i also REALLY disagree that this "art theft" is just as bad as...... actually laying off workers?

if i posted an art piece to deviantart i did for fun..... i wasn't gonna get paid for it anyways, right? i truly fail to see how somebody then using said art piece as a data point in a set of billions a. entitles me to anything and b. is "labor exploitation". especially given that the training of AI datasets involves, like, actual labor exploitation of overseas workers?

idk. what's being stolen here? intellectual property! digital images! when you upload images to websites and agree to their TOS, you're agreeing to this! idk what to tell you man. art theft isn't real and is so not my concern remotely and anyone mad about that should erm get over themselves. idk. again: this is a data privacy problem, not an "art theft" problem. im more concerned w like, medical photos and CSEM and other private/harmful images being included in these sets.

genuine question coming from a place of good faith: is it wrong of me to be scared for transmascs right now? the harassment of transfems by both radfems and now even tumblr staff is fucking horrendous, but im terrified that due to so much recent discourse, people are going to blame transmascs for it and hate us even more than they already do.

i genuinely do care about transfems and it’s utterly ghoulish what’s going on right now, and it needs to stop, but I can’t help but get this awful sinking feeling over how it could affect transmascs by proxy — but I’m not sure if that’s wrong of me? is it wrong to worry about, should I be focusing entirely on transfems right now? is it transmisogynistic of me to be concerned about both of these things instead of just the one? I don’t know if what I’m feeling is wrong and it’s stressing me out so badly :(

I don't think it's ever wrong to be concerned about multiple real problems at once.

I have stayed pretty quiet on this situation, mostly just adding stuff to my queue if I agree with it but not weighing in personally. Mainly the reason is that I genuinely don't know anything about the trans woman in question who all of this fuss is for. But, I have seen other trans blogs get nuked for seemingly flimsy reasons, and I have seen self-professed terfs and radfems crowing victory with the latest victims of their mass-reporting.

And I think this is a bit of a PR nightmare, but I also think this site does have a serious harassment problem the staff does not take nearly seriously enough while it also seems to punish in equal amounts blogs that get harassed AND blogs that were literally just minding their own business, with really the main similarities being that they are blogs owned by people belonging to seriously marginalized and at-risk demographics talking about controversial topics like racism and LGBT politics.

It is really quite frustrating that there are now accusations that trans mascs talking about their own oppression are behind this, when not only is there no proof behind the claim but also even without a lot of direct knowledge I am seeing a certain demographic cheering that their mass reports worked and I gotta say, that demographic largely isn't trans mascs.

I also think there is a lot of hypocrisy floating around, because some of these blogs I'm seeing mad about this latest streak of bans are also people who themselves have advocated for harassing others and mass-reporting others who simply fail the vibe check while just existing as themselves, off this website. And while those users don't have the power of the literal CEO, they're failing to see how they've contributed to the problem of this website's user culture of "send the most vile thing you can think of en mass until they break and leave and good riddance".

I say this as someone who also has been harassed by a band of people wanting to chase me off of this website. It is why I don't interact much with dogblr anymore. I have had several people who joined in that dog pile later approach me and apologize, but the damage is still done and I am not interested in engaging with a "community" so willing to tear someone apart on flimsy accusations that weren't even true. I almost killed myself that night, I had a mental break and turned off my blog completely for several days just to make it stop, and returned to see people similarly crowing with delight that they'd successfully run me off. It's happened to me, and the perpetrators were almost entirely white cisgender women, and I have been very reliably told by multiple other people that both my blackness and my transgender status were significant motivators in their poor behavior.

This also happening in the wake of yet another transgender teen killed by their peers has left me simply mentally and physically exhausted. I began involving myself more in the transgender community on here because I wanted this to stop. I wanted to help uplift my siblings and get them out of the pit before the whole thing caved in. It's feeling very hopeless right now for trans kids around the world and in the mean time it's also apparently my fault a trans woman I don't even know got banned I guess..

In any case. Hold your head up. We'll get through this, somehow. We always have. We always will.

[asmogorna]

I can't recall if I have already asked you this or not, but were you the one who drew this?

(If so, then I need you to know that this is the best Will Wood fanart that has ever been made. Plus he would totally wear that.)

i'll tell you more. there's a prequel to this. and i have a huge history with this very art. grab your hot cocoa, your popcorn, or whatever else you consume when listening to a story..

NOW tbh this mf piece of art makes my heart sink every time i see it simply because the memories of the past still haunt me and theyre not lovely /hj

imagine, year 2023, (relatively) young asmogorna doesn't yet know how twitter can get when it comes to fandoms based around real people, and his friend gives him an idea

"i had a dream about will wood drawing hamilton yaoi" his friend said to him "you should draw that"

and draw that young asmo did

but then a funny teehee connection was created in asmo's head. "hey" he thought "you know what else is related to hamilton. miku binder."

and he, inspired by this truly humorous and silly idea, drew that very masterpiece, posting it on twitter later that day, with the caption "i am so sorry mr william wood". "oh what a splendid laugh me and me lads (mooties) shall have" asmo thought, as he closed the website

yet little did he know, that the next time he opens twitter its going to be multiple people jumping him and beating his ass in the qrts

"erm,, why are we drawing real life cis men in binders?? /neg /genq" they chanted

"will wood would KILL this person" they howled

"

" they preached, as they threw their torches and rotten tomatoes at stupid young asmogorna

he was shocked, truly shocked, for he did not expect such a backlash. the last thing he had in head is implying that mr william sunshine woodiam of the okultra is trans with his art, his mind blown by the amount of people misunderstanding his intentions, for he didnt even think about the intentions people would assume he had. "where tf did i ever say that this is a headcanon of any sort THIS DOESNT EVEN HAVE TO BE A BINDER FOR TRANS PPL WHAT ARE THEY ON" he mumbled softly to his friends, glancing at the raging crowd.

asmo shamefully deleted the post, wrote a public apology thread, and decided to throw the painting he put so much shits and giggles in out in the trash, forever forgetting his legacy....

but to be fr tho that shit was funny asf and im still mad at twitter for making me look like one of them tallyship mfs who headcanon real life people as .. anything really😭

will wood would scoff and giggle in disappointment at this MAX trust me his ass does NOT gaf

[haemosexuality]

some people are very mad at the implication that the LN world is ~All A Dream~ but i dont think thats exactly it? like to me it seems very clear that the ln world is a real place, and all that happens in it is real. i think that what's happening is that when they go to sleep, their consciousness is transported into this paralel reality (the Nowhere) and they leave once they awaken, but as they spent more and more time there they slowly succumb to whatever powers or entities rule that world and they become trapped there. its like. kind of like the dark worlds in deltarune, or the other world in coraline, or the upside down in stranger things, or the fear reality/ies in the magnus archives you get the idea

those entities seem to both feed off of and be created by childrens fear, a paradoxical "it exists because children fear it and children fear it because it exists" thing. in an interview a dev said that "something happened before in [the kids] lives that made them a good fit for little nightmares" and i think that "something" is being traumatized: you have more nightmares that way.

something interesting about six specifically is that she's always described as being from somewhere else, not belonging 'here', etc, one description even says she "awoke in a world she cannot recognize" which. straight up confirms shes Not From This World, but like, if all of the kids came here because of nightmares whats different about her? why do they apparently 'belong' in the nowhere but she doesnt? maybe she has, like, too much willpower to succumb to the powers or something and thus doesnt belong with the other kids trapped here who have all given up, but then again shes also described to be "fading away from this world" at the start of ln2 which does seem to mean that shes succumbing to it? like, giving up and fading away? idk idk

bandai website description, issue 1 of the comic

also from the bandai namco website. six's "terrible fate" might be her succumbing to depression or whatever but have no idea why guiding mono to the signal tower would be important? maybe its not actually about the tower and its just about having a purpose and a friend to hold on to so she still has hope

ok heres my tinfoil hat theory: obv the podcast, the devs, promotional material and concept art all seem to be saying that ''kids go to a nightmare world when they go to sleep and sometimes get trapped there" is whats happening, but this post theorizes that maybe the nightmares noone in the podcast is having are prophetic and like. the nightmares explained video says that "the nightmares are crossing into the real world". what if what happened is that vulnerable kids who kept having nightmares were going to this future reality where the world got fucked up because of these entities, and maybe whenever they succumbed to them the entities were able to use their bodies to cross into our world, which eventually led to them being able to take over? resulting in the future fucked up reality kids were going to in their dreams? its not like little nightmares is unfamiliar with time paradoxes thats basically what happened to mono. idk!!!!

i keep bringing up other media but im not really comparing them im just using similsr exampled to explain what i mean bc its so weird i cant think of how else to do it. anyways what if the kids who fully give up and succumb to the fear become like the goners frok undertale. everyone just forgets they ever existed

tuesday again 1/2/2024

it’s quite satisfying how the year started on a monday

listening

first song of the year: how could it be anything other than Sabata. this is the theme from the titular Sabata, i meant to pick the theme from Return of Sabata but im not mad about it.

reading

i read Tim Marchman’s Popping Tins newsletter (a newsletter about fish and seafood) less bc i enjoy locking Mack in the bathroom every time i want a tuna melt and more for the droll authorial voice. i have bought a tin of mackerel after reading some entries, and it was very good but much much richer than tuna.

What should I do with this can of krill meat?

after consulting the importer’s website:

This is accompanied by a photograph of the can featuring easily-discerned black eyes, which are nothing to be concerned about, according to the company that produces this can. The first question on its FAQ page is “What are the little black speckles in my can?” “No need to be concerned here!” the answer reads. “Your meat is not dirty, and you did not get a defected can. Our Antarctic Krill meat contains the most nutritious parts of the krill, which happen to include their eyes.

…

The risks here are clear: I could vomit when I open the can and see the nutritious black eyes staring at me; I could destroy the peace in my home by making it smell like sautéed and simmered krill; and/or I could ruin a perfectly delicious lunch by introducing nutritious eyes and hard bits of chitin.

i have no memory of how i found this newsletter.

i keep forgetting i have ten hoopla credits a month through my old library and i want to read more comics this year bc reading comics is fun. in the past in practice this means ive binged all ten credits over a weekend. this weekend i had time for exactly one.

The Riddler: Year One is an extremely direct tie-in to the movie and i think it’s neat they let the riddler’s actor paul dano go wild with his backstory and then turn it into a comic. it’s fun when actors get to do weird tie-in shit.

(non-sequential pages)

watching this forensic accountant’s brain crack and scramble like an egg as he struggles to really grasp the enormity of gotham corruption and why the city is such a dogshit miserable place to live in made me go “oh huh that was a pretty good writing decision in the movie”. not that the riddler was terribly stable to begin with but the despair and the unraveling were very effectively conveyed. this comic has a lot of fun with funky layouts (left) and an entire issue (right) is conspiracy board shit on top of accounting forms which is a neat artistic choice.

deeply depressing but an interesting new little window into the rpatz batman (god i hope we get more rpatz batman films) and fun to look at.

how i found this: trawling the popular comics page on hoopla

watching

this is the seventh year of starting a new-to-me classic black and white movie around 1030/11 PM New Year’s Eve and i am annoyed i didn’t like the movie that started this year but, according to the data, it’s been fifty-fifty so far.

previous years have featured: sunset boulevard, yojimbo, the thin man, it happened one night, bringing up baby, the big sleep, and now roman holiday (1953, dir. Wyler).

this is the platonic ideal of a classic movie. it’s not sterile but it’s so… unobjectionable. wholesome (derogatory) even. not particularly what i was looking for in a movie but, much like the gelato and champagne that pop up, it was kind of a sweet nothing. i don’t think anyone eats any real food this whole movie?

this is never a movie that feels rushed. it is two hours of watching beautiful people traipse around a beautiful city in beautiful edith head costumes. i would not say there is a lot of tension for the first hour and a half. however, imo, it does land its ending and for that i can forgive it a great deal. this is another beautiful movie that is simply not for me.

playing

have you ever wanted an open world rpg where you play as a shark? congrats, this was apparently free on epic a while back

Maneater has a tremendously fun prologue where you play as the soon-to-be-dead mother shark who is absolutely going to town on a crowded beach and destroying multiple spear-gun-wielding divers and multiple boats full of citizens exercising their second amendment rights. this prologue is an excellent choice by the game bc it locks the fun part (eating people) behind several hours of really grindy shit. i am not entertained by the grind of eating progressively larger muskellunge, avoiding alligators, and collecting license plates. the grind is EXCEPTIONALLY grindy, i put about three hours into it and have only gotten to level 5 (teen) and have only two mutations i can sink loot into (four types of loot gained from eating other fish. this is too many types imo). i am not anywhere near a recommended level to start fucking humans up. im also not super impressed with the open world aspects of it— there are not a lot of things to do, discover, or interact with in the first two areas.

this seems like a really fun game that clotheslined itself with a cripplingly slow upgrade cycle. im sure the mid and late game are hysterically fun, especially on stream. however i am not willing to put in the hours to get to the fun part when i could immediately be having fun in some other game.

making

a lot of profoundly uninteresting cleaning. after not being able to figure out why my office (where Phil [no longer in heat. for now] lives) still reeks of piss even after stealing a blacklight from a friend and cleaning with a blacklight, it is of course bc she has been pissing in secret places i didn’t think she could get to. upside down smile emoji. both the girls got their monthly flea goop yesterday and were deeply unhappy about it.

most of my plants died in the move and i am finally tackling the survivors. fan favorite giant snake plant (not pictured, tidied up and inside) did make it and pull through but is not happy about it. now that i have baby basil and baby dill sprouting in the kitchen i do need to do something with the balcony so they have somewhere to grow up study and strong.

also slammed that silly little blondeyes NFT thing up on the archive

[sierracat1103]

This update is so!!!!!!!! It's SO COOL!!!! Clown, the voice actors, animators, artists did SO amazingly its awesome like!!!!! This update is so so so cool!

Spoilers since it's literally like, the first day

Ive repeated myself a lot but:

ITS SO COOL!!!!!

all the stuff with eddie!!!!! Him being absent being cut off from the wishlist was so cool! I didn't even notice it at first till some people pointed it out!! But the whole sequence of mix of animated ads real sets/props and PUPPETS!!! it's SO well made the animations was so cute!!! And the whole sequence with Eddie was so freaky!!! Houses eyes made me genuinely uncomfortable to where I had to look away from the screen!! It was so well made and so cool!!! Like HUGE props to the animators and artists cause omg

Also as I reblpgged and someone pointed out the aggression in the commercial from the website is so interesting! I didn't really grasp it while watching but I did have a reaction to Eddie getting so mad!! Ot caught me off guard since he's proreyed as being anxious but going w the flow really so!!! it was so cool and well made !!!!!

And the !!!! Frank seemingly breaking character??? It was so good it caught me so off guard!!! I also wonder if it connects to his song at all? Because it's a song about being forced to let things go? But idk

All the voice actors did so well too!!! Like the songs recorded and book were so fun to listen to!! Like I genuinely want to listen to them again!! They're so much fun and so cute!!

I'm talking alot but all in all this update was amazing!! I can't wait to see if there's more we missed since it just came out but!!!! im excited!!!

Edit!

Also the secret website is so cool!! Especially w the name being foreshadowed in the news letter/update!!

[gentlebeardsbarngrill]

I'm a bit surprised how many people are against the UK billboard! I did donate, but I never expected this billboard to have the same effect or visibility as the Times Square one... And of course, I also don't expect it to have real impact on whether we get picked up or not. I thought we might get a few news articles about it in the UK and a morale boost from it.

I understand the concerns about the fundraiser transparency, of course. I don't know how other fandoms have done these fundraisers, whether they've been better at organizing them... There's certainly a lot to learn!

I've seen some people suggest that we shouldn't buy another billboard because... we already had one? I was just reading about the Wynonna Earp campaign and apparently they bought over 250 billboards between s3 and s4 when the show ran out of funding (I also found a Twitter thread with pics of 100 Times Square billboards they bought). If they had that many, then how is 2 billboards for OFMD overkill?

This fandom gets hate for the campaign no matter what we do, even for just tweeting about the show... Isn't visibility exactly what our campaign needs, though? Are we going to tone down the campaign just so we don't get harassed? I don't really see the point in trying to protect the fandom, when the only way to really do that is to completely shut up about the show. And I certainly won't be shutting up about it :D

Anyway. These are just my thoughts on the subject. I'm very curious to see the new billboard! We'll probably learn a lot from it, from how it affects the fandom and how the press reacts to it (if they do)... And of course, how DJ reacts to it.

OMG IM SO SORRY ANON! Yesterday blew up and I never got a chance to get back to you!

I'm with you-- I'm sure there is always something more to learn! I had read the transparency policy a few times right before it was announced (cause I was asked to put it up on my repository), and it seemed like it was pretty straight forward-- but obviously some things needed to be clarified! From what I've seen on the Save OFMD Crew Discord since then, they're working on taking feedback and are going to be updating it to make it more clear.

I also saw that there was a vote going on about leaving the website the same, and I think that passed, but dont quote me on that.

HOLLLY SHIT 250 billboards!? WOW. Well I'm glad they found some funding, jeez! And hey-- it worked right? I think they got their renewal, or at least they're getting a finale.

I respect your thoughts on the subject and I really apreciate you reaching out and expressing them! It's good to hear multiple points of view on it. I definitely agree that there's always going to be someone mad about the fandom. It's just hard I think for our friends who have been around and probably have PTSD from all the hate by this point. I think that means we, the folks still able to do it, should be the front liners on all this and help fight that hate back.

I offer this freely-- if I have the time, and you are running into problems with hate inside the fandom, hit me up. I enjoy being a polite menace and talking through things with people. I got my degree in International Studies/Relations so I have a lot of experience with talking through things-- and I'm more than happy to help if I can!

I am excited to see what happens with the billboard, come good or bad. Thanks anon for writing in, and so sorry again for the delay!

Sending love <3

[byooregard]

today i will be showing everyone my GRAPHS. this is so that i can PROCRASTINATE FANFIC WRITING. thank you

GRAPH NUMBER ONE + DISCLAIMERS

This is the top 10 doctor who ships in the doctor who ao3 tag by how many fics were written for each each year . notes:

ao3 is somewhat bad at dealing with ships that are secretly multiple ships in a trench coat, of which doctor who has many. This applies to -- doctor/river, doctor/rose, doctor/master, and ten/rose (as ten/rose also includes metacrisis ten/rose)

using doctor/rose as an example, in the dropdown for top relationships within a tag it will only show fics explicitly tagged with 'the doctor/rose tyler', meaning it gets listed as the 8th most popular ship, with ~1000 fics, whereas if you go to the doctor/rose tag itself (which i did for this graph) , it shows every fic filtered into the Group tag doctor/rose -- ie, things just tagged nine/rose, just tagged ten/rose, etc etc

i filtered these by DATE UPDATED and not date posted, because i cannot do the latter with ao3's search system

i also can't filter things by 'main relationship' in the fanfic

ao3 was founded in 2009, and gained popularity as the main fanfiction website through the 2010s, however, when you transfer a work from another site to ao3, ao3 will keep the date it was originally written, allowing for you to find works on ao3 posted earlier than 2009. i didn't count them in this graph because i didn't want to

i wish it was this easy to collect data on fanfic posted before ao3 was popular. im so sad about this genuinely

all of these disclaimers/data inaccuracies apply to the other graphs

GRAPH NUMBER TWO AND ALSO PERHAPS THREE:

thoschei graph. call that a real ship of theseus amirite

sorry for that joke. ive already made that joke

shoutout to spydoc for going from 0 fics to roughly 700 in one year, throwing off my entire graph

something was in the water in 2020 doctor who fandom. that something was likely covid

left graph is the top ships, right graph includes the total for doctor master and a vague attempt to make a graph for the 'other' however i made that graph by going into the doctor master tag and filtering out all the ships id done graphs for, so it's pretty inaccurate data

GRAPHS NUMBER FIVE AND PERHAPS SIX

as everyone in the doctor who fandom went collectively insane in the year 2020 i wanted to chronicle that.

left graph is the top ships in the tag, however this time i took out ships of theseus like doctor/master, doctor/river and doctor/rose

notable peaks. in jan-the 1st of march, doctor who was airing. in october nothing notable happened other than the usual fandom slew of -tobers (you know, flufftober, whumptober, etc). in december there were likely the usual gift exchanges

quarantine started around march for most people, marking the start of our collective descent into madness

and here i will give you a link to the actual spreadsheet with numbers

[sistervirtue]

making a copy of this bc op disabled reblogs and i just got reminded it existed and would like to not lose it

ok so . im outing myself to the world but thats fine this is too funny to not share

so. ive run a roleplay blog for a few years. i keep it separate from my main, yknow, its just a side hobby and ive been doing it since i was like, 12. its cringe but hey yknow at least im not 30 and writing ya novels

now its pretty common for rp blogs these days to have rules. right? you dont want to just bag any weirdo on this website, and as you can imagine bnha roleplayers are batshit crazy (see: conversion therapy todoroki) so mine are pretty strict and detailed. because ive been doing it long enough to be exposed to what counts as carbon monoxide poison from a screen. one of those rules is "if youre mutuals with people who write porn of the kids even aged up im blocking you we're keeping a ten foot pole on this". because as a 20 year old man i have a healthy disinterest in seeing paragraphs of teenagers fucking

so the dash is astir with talk of a guy writing age up bakugou porn and im like ok whatever. make a post bitching about it . mutual likes those posts but then the mutual is turning around and being buddy buddy with this guy so i dm the mutual like hey whats going on here . mutual is like "well why dont you talk it out with him hes not as mean as he seems i prommy" and im like sure whatever i can have civil conversation and if it ends with One Less Person writing weirdo porn then i might be able to get into heaven

so i dm him and he loses his fucking mind. it lasted all of 10 minutes because he was sending paragraphs like this and i was too tired to give a shit

(take note of my icon thats a special tool thatll help us later)

(also he goes by the name rxgelord. WITH the x. thats also important just because its funny as fuck)

so the guys clearly bothered by the idea that people might possibly talk about him without his permission and im a little miffed after being misgendered (which hed do again later) so i just post our dms. swing first and hey batter batter lets play ball i dont give a shit this is bnha roleplay

once again: loses his damn mind. he makes a psa post about me talking about how im just some pussy infant and hes too HARD for me and shit and also they do bakudeku muffin roleplay in the comments of that post which is fucking insane

anyway. at one point while joking about the whole thing i called him a "wannabe bakugou kinnie" as a joke and apparently he felt a very serious need to address this

and im like holllllllllllllly fucking shit

you may have noticed that his posts are incredibly over-formatted. this goes for everything he does he is pouring a LOT of time and energy into typing his 9 paragraphs about how im an insane bitch or whatever. (if theres literally one thing i can give him credit on its that his graphic editing skills are kinda good. i will be honest) his rules document is also just as insane and features gems such as:

(this dude thinks hes pulling bitches on a bnha roleplay blog)

so we're just full on ragging on him at this point and hes getting MADDDDDDD MAD. he misgenders me again and when i point it out he has the following excuse:

(art by @/pcktknife. anyways)

after a certain point i get dmd an old copy of a 130+ page callout he had a year prior and im like WHAT and it included his yugioh rp blog career and various allegations like having been involved in gang violence, doxxing, etc. also a picture of the hickies he bragged about leaving on his uwu pink glitter gf which looked more like he was trying to go for the killing bite but hey. yknow. apparently im a toddler idk how that works

along in this we also find his twitch account, which was under the name rxgelord, and it featured edited graphics of his real life face with bakugou. he posts selfies a lot too i wont share them even if theyre public but he has knuckle tats and a goatee and uses the greyscale filter. if this gives you an idea. he also had 5 twitch followers and detailed his desire to be a rapper/dj and im like holllllly fucking shit this guy cant be a real person. holy fuck.

anyways. skipping a lot of unnecessary bullshit and paragraphs of text with gifs from 2013 attached hes constantly going on about how we wont just "say it to his face" which i think is hilarious bc i was, the entire time. but im like ok fine you want me so bad

so i send him this. he posts about how "he won when he got all might" (for some reason hes calling my ex mutual by the character name. i dont know) and then hasnt posted in 4 days. he deleted his twitch. im a little worried bakugou. dont say that. may have actually chased this man off the internet . to go have real life sex with his real life girlfriend so he isnt so mad

anyway we ended up turning one of his posts into an eminem uberduck

im honestly probably forgetting something this was so much and it was so fucking funny and honestly im glad to have been there

update: he has not in fact posted since last summer. god bless.

[awsugar]

every day on this website someone realizes for the first time that the mcr guys are rich it's incredible. also you are literally right frank is so sweet and down to earth when you meet him.

im glad ive missed a lot of the mcr are millionaires discourse. theyre rich!!!! and theyre probably all like twice as rich after this tour. many many many millions, all of them. and you cant be mad about that unless youve never contributed a penny of your own money towards that which most of us have, some of us a lot. of course theyre rich. theyre one of the biggest bands (like actual BANDS) thats touring and around right now. whatever. im not mad about it. and i dont think theyre worse people because of it. maybe theyre a little out of touch from people who like. work a "real" job. sure. but from what i can see, and from what i know of frank in person at least, they're all really very sweet people. and they love and appreciate their fans. which is sooooooo brave of them because a lot of their fans who are the loudest on the internet, and sometimes in person, are real freaks!!!!

[selfundiagnosed]

Insane that my mom ran the most popular patrick stump archival blog on tumblr + was a full time lawyer + was raising two mentally ill kids + doing culinary arts school + having a cookie business. I think its her autism i wont lie. But now its all catching up to her and she has no energy which would be the ehlers danlos fault this time.. tried to convince her to steal her old url back but on cohost so she made an account but couldnt immediately make side blogs but boy oh boy. she would be giving the fall out boy fandom what they want and more. Shes like i cant do it again i have no idea how i did it before im like ma! its called having boundaries. Shes like i cant do that when i have a special interest its called autism. Im like right but queue posts for once a day and find 30 pictures from a photo set and boom one months worth of posting fall out boy and you can conserve your energy. But she doesnt know how to do her special interests in moderation. Im honestly just glad she went and accepted a bunch of access to her mega archive folder thingy. But shes so mad she doesnt have access to like her actual archive bc the website she used go archive everything changed their subscription plans and she has so many photos it would be like a zillion dollars she doesnt have 😭 like bogus i remember photo storing websites were so free. Take me back to 2010 for real :T Anyway she used to get so mortified when i told my friends as a teen about her blog i actually told her coworker once and her coworker somehow RETAINED the url and went home and looked at her blog and she was so upset at me 😭😭 but now like she kinda doesnt give a fuck anymore bc fall out boy was her special interest for an entire decade and she’s over it. Obviously still a big big fan but not in bandom anymore. Her new special interest is a band i introduced her to when i was 13 and its kinda cringe so i dont talk about it but she also ran an archival blog for THIS band and i told my friend at a sleepover who liked this band about her blog and they fucking FOLLOWED HER and shit bricks and my mom was MORTIFIED. But anyway yeah she doesnt gaf now if i tell people she was this blog and i even posted a tiktok about it once and people started doing detective work that would make her autistic self so proud…. Bc thats what she was good at! sleuthing stalking detective work on the band. Pete wentz privately answered several of her asks on tumblr i’ll see if she can send me the asks and their responses. But yeah she doesnt care anymore. her original url was scrubbed by tumblr and shes very angry about it bc it was an original bandom url for patrick stump so shes like wtf ever i dont wanna touch this im so mad. Which SAAAAME. ive done that so many times. She started permitting access to people who requested it for one of her photo archive website thingies she left in her last post. But yeaaaahhh… she was patrick stump for halloween in like 2008 and she won the costume contest bc she had rhe coolest sideburns and looked so much like him. My first ever concert was a fall out boy concert in spring 2007 i was 6 turning 7 within the next few months lemme just say the music video for carpel tunnel of love played on the screen as they played the song and my brother and i was so traumatized. But then immediately they played this aint a scene after that and we were like HELL YEAAAAAAAAA. And my brother (5 at the time) and i knew every single song and sang along and my mom went look at everyone else no one else knows these songs. You guys are so cool. And we looked around and yeah no one was singing the songs and were sooo excited! Oh and theres that one time she recorded us singing keep it simple by cobra starship and THEY PUT IT ON THEIR MYSPACE PAGE AT THE TOP WE FLIPPED SHIT. i wish THAT video was still up. Shes also met fall out boy so many times and walked away from patrick stump while he was talking to her bc she didnt want to take up his time at a meet and greet. Omg. so many memories. I was literally raised in online bandom thats so insane. Maybe thats why im a homosexual

seeing the “cis is a slur, so is TERF, look at these people being mean about cis TERFs” has me real tempted to make a blog or website where i collect all the transphobia and bigoted content in the world, all the death threats, all the doxxing, all the harassment targeted towards trans people, and then start a trend of going “trans is a slur! im not a trans man, im just some guy! you can no longer define me as trans. or cis, since that’s also a slur. i’m just a man, die mad” or smth lol.

or, even just do it with smth way smaller. find all the posts where people rag about how they hate short men, or gingers, and then claim that short is a slur, and calling someone ginger is bigoted.

idk, i just find it so dumb bc like ?? i could gather endless evidence of people talking about how billionaires should kill themself, and how they’re inherently selfish and evil, but billionaires aren’t an oppressed class, and billionaire isn’t a slur ffs

like, ok, racists and transphobes and homophobes and misogynists and all kinds of bigots get death threats, threats of violence, and general hatred thrown at them. don’t tolerant the intolerant and all. does that mean, or has it ever meant, that bigots are oppressed? is “bigot” a slur? is “misogynist” a slur? no. because that would be fucking stupid.

how the hell are transphobes getting away with defining terms to call out their bigotry as “slur”, it’s absurd

One of these days im going to be super petty and respond to those “but what’s the plot” people with "fun fact: if you click the link it’ll actually take you to a page that gives you a synopsis for the book. the purpose of the post is to actually get you to click the link. That is what an advertisement is."

Do I need to copy the synopsis you could get from any website that sells the book when I could tell you about things you might not have been able to pick up on without a person who has already read it telling you about it? When I could go for something short and snappy that grabs your attention? Almost like I'm advertising something...

And yes, actually knowing the tropes and vibes DOES give you a sense of the story you’re about to jump into especially if you are familiar with the genre. Yes, real people look for stories to read next by searching for tropes and representation. Those are the people those ads are advertising to.

The complaints about recommending stories by rep alone started because people were annoyed by the “you should read this bc it’s gay” type of recommendations, where the ONLY thing someone mentions is the rep and nothing else. If they're literally telling you the genre and the types of things you’ll run into as you read it, that is not the same thing. Some people are just mad at marketing in general or act like these types of marketing styles are new and blame it on tiktok or the poisoned, stupid youth.

And not every book has a plot or sometimes the plot is unimportant. I think the plot in Turtles All The Way Down by John Green is unimportant because what the book is actually about is a girl with OCD. It's more about that than the mystery, which barely takes up the story and is apparently easy to solve if you live in the same area as the characters. Romance novels are romance focused so advertising a romance book by talking about the romance makes more sense then talking about the plot which is only there to set up the romance.

idk about old man but im sure kyky knows about the ship. he's gen z he grew up on the internet there's no way he doesn't know but i don't think he's aware of the extent of the ship like the details we notice and dig up

tbh i was debating whether or not to answer this but i guess it's best if i just make my stance clear (disclaimer i have nothing against you anon and i'm not mad)

i know my thing is that i like my rpf more grounded in reality. however i personally want to draw the line at discussing the real people themselves and what they would think of the ship or what people say on the internet. we've learned from many previous cases that people being aware of rpf/irlshippers can actually ruin their friendships, so yeah sorry i don't really want to entertain ideas like these even as a thought experiment. i don't care if mbappe knows or doesn't know and frankly i would be fine not ever finding out, i'd prefer to keep everything completely removed.

as for giroud ofc i mentioned that he's seen and laughed at some of the memes. but i really hope to god that he never sees more than that, for all our sakes tbh. neither of them should need to know what goes on on a website like this

"making up reasons to get mad all the time" whom???? what blog is anon reading?? cause it's clearly not this one. like. even when you're calling out shitty behavior/rhetoric you always have some positivity to share with it, or at least a joke? even when people come in your inbox and say stupid shit, you always handle it with grace and calm. ur one of the least angry ppl on this whole entire website. idk, but my antiblackness detector is tingling tho. sure yeah go ahead call the happy, patient, open, sweet, gentle, positive, welcoming, humorous, delightful, queer black man on tumblr "angry" for.. what? for not putting up with hatred and bigotry? for trying to help people get healthy about their self image and their sexuality? for encouraging interpersonal relationships based in mutual respect and real perceptions of ourselves and others? for encouraging people to respect each other and communicate openly? for refuting shame culture? for whatever it is youre incorrectly perceiving as anger lmao. it's not like "angry queer black man" is like, you know, a tired ass myth that's been perpetuated against us since the dawn of intercontinental travel or anything, almost as unanimous as the "angry black woman" trope. couldn't be that, right? 🙄

kev ur literally perfect. 😘 ok im done now.

The only reason you're done now is bc I am kissing you on the mouth
