#it’s not disrespectful

[jarofstyles]

I don’t mean this disrespectfully at all but I know you’ve mentioned you’re not a huge lover of angst but can I ask why? :) love your writing!

I’ve just got enough problems irl that I prefer my fantasy writing to be mostly happy/smutty 😭

I hate how certain industries get to make arbitrary etiquette because they feel martyred. For example, “Never hold up money to get a bartender’s attention.” I don’t do this but what a dumbass thing to get offended about. Like “I hate when I am selling wares and the consumer is ready to order and pay immediately”

I also don’t like how people are supposed to be sheepish when dealing with customer service employees. “Erm, excuse me, when you get a minute can I get a beer?” My brother you do not deserve a beer

This is some cold-ass shit. As President, Biden has to say something. But he can say it in a way that says nothing and everything.

I want to shake the hand of the staffer that wrote this because this is absolutely fucking superb.

I know we (in general but especially neuroatypicals) prefer things to be clear and straightforward. But occasionally, you can do things in full view of the world like this. And that's kind of incredible.

Call her Harris not Kamala. If you don't call him Joe and you don't call him Donald, don't call her by her first name.

While I do find it funny that henchmen in Gotham probably warn each other about the Red Hood because he's a bat who will actually kill you. I think it would be better if Jason was actually seen as some sort of savior or idol to like 90% of the goons scattered around Gotham. Doesn't matter who they work for, they all know Jason, former crime-lord that took over majority of Gotham's underground in one night.

---

Jason, years after the events of UTRH, now fighting crime alongside the batfam, except every goon he runs into immediately recognizes him, stops fighting, and starts begging.

the first time it happens, Jason assumes they're begging for their lives only to hear them begging for him to return to the crime lord business so they can work for him and not Gotham's current money-stingy, abusive rogues (Black Mask lol)

---

Jason showing up to patrol as backup for Dick in an overrun warehouse full of Two-Face's henchmen and as Jason's about to interfere, one of the men stops dead in their tracks and stares really hard at Jason until:

Goon: Oh my God, boss, is that you?

Jason, pulling out his guns, about to shoot:

Goon: Mr. Hood, sir???

Jason, halfway about to pull the trigger: Wait a min–Jeremy? Oh wow, it's been ages! How's the wife?

Goon (Jeremy): Oh my God it IS you, holy shit where have you BEEN? Me and the guys miss you, man!

Dick, with a knife at his throat: What is happening right now

Jason: Ahh, well, crime-lording just wasn't fitting in on the daily schedule. Tryna turn over a new leaf and all that

Goon (Jeremy): Aw, that's disappointing. We really liked working for you, right guys?

[Chorus of enthusiastic "YEAHS" from the rest of the henchmen (even the one holding Dick at knifepoint)]

Goon (Jeremy): Well, anyways, I can't beat you up knowing you're my old boss! You gave us the best health benefits! We'll just let you take the evidence and leave.

Jason: Aw, thanks guys :)

---

And that's why 95% percent of Jason's missions in Gotham end in success. Not because he's willing to kill people or because rogues are terrified of him, but because 90% of the rogues' henchmen once worked for Jason and fuckin love him lol.

Some 22 and 09 angst doodles

Gentle reminder that very little fandom labor is automated, because I think people forget that a lot.

That blog with a tagging system you love? A person curates those tags by hand.

That rec blog with a great organization scheme and pretty graphics? Someone designed and implemented that organization scheme and made those graphics.

That network that posts a cool variety of stuff? People track down all that variety and queue it by hand, and other people made all the individual pieces.

That post with umpteen links to helpful resources, and information about them? Someone gathered those links, researched the sources, wrote up the information about them.

That graphic about fandom statistics? Someone compiled those statistics, analyzed them, organized them, figured out a useful way to convey the information to others, and made the post.

That event that you think looks neat? Someone wrote the rules, created the blogs and Discords, designed the graphics, did their best to promo the event so it'd succeed.

None of this was done automatically. None of it just appears whole out of the internet ether.

I think everyone realizes that fic writing and fanart creation are work, and at least some folks have got it through their heads that gif creation and graphics and moodboards take effort, and meta is usually respected for the effort that goes into it, at least as far as I've seen, but I feel like a lot of people don't really get how much labor goes into curation, too.

If people are creating resources, curating content, organizing the creations of others, gathering information, and doing other fandom activities that aren't necessarily the direct action of creation, they're doing a lot of fandom labor, and it's often largely unrecognized.

Celebrate fan work!

To folks doing this kind of labor: I see you, and I thank you. You are the backbones of our fandoms and I love you.

How are we still having homestuck drama in the year of our lord 2024

[proselles]

you know what i think is really cool about dungeon meshi? the fact that it really handles the whole 'how our food is made' so gracefully. in this day and age, we've become so disconnected from how our food is produced and distributed that the thought of how our food is obtained brings disgust to many people (and for the big industry farms, it honestly should! but im referring to our existence as omnivores in the food chain). marcille acted ridiculous whenever the thought of killing a monster for food is brought up, but honestly, she's a great model for how many people nowadays react whenever they have to truly think about what they are consuming/are brought to a meat farm.

senshi shows the characters (and us, the audience) about the process of making food in a respectful, genuine way to the creatures he has used to produce nourishing meals. by explaining the nutrition and benefits of each creature, he creates and healthy relationship between the consumers and the meal they have. the show really brings a new dimension of respect for each of our meals. truly the bob ross/marie kondo of cooking.

You have made yourself completely a part of our family. But I cannot help but feel that something is missing.

does tumblr know that goncharov made it into empire film magazine ?

[watchyourbuck]

The blatant and constant exclusion of Henrietta Wilson not only as a queer character but as a main character in articles following up on Buck’s coming out is disgusting. She has been a proud lesbian since the very first episode, serving as authentic rep on the show. It’s striking that the media’s interest seems to have peaked only with the revelation of a masculine, white character as LGBTQA+ (who they consistently mislabel as gay instead of bisexual, going against the actor’s own words and the network’s public statements). It is telling, but alas, not utterly surprising, considering sometimes they don’t even bother to learn Aisha’s name. It is a disappointing act of erasure that contradicts the show’s message of inclusivity and undermines the very essence of its commitment to representing a wide spectrum of experiences.

Someone really put all Drake's medications and prescriptions down on his bed, took pictures of everything and sent them to kendrick LMFAOOOO that man does not have a single person looking out for him. His friends are ops, his employees are ops, his parents are ops, down to the cashier that scans his groceries is against him at this point 😭

[free-my-mindd]

The disrespect is always the closure.
