#of most parts of the internet

[nothingmatters-everythingmatters]

lurking in radfem spaces has really changed my entire view of most mainstream internet spaces because once you realize just how censored women's voices and feminist thought are on these sites, and how much porn and misogynistic values are defended, you can't unsee it.

how anyone can bear to participate in an online space where porn, of all things, is lauded as the bastion of "self-expression" and yet any woman slightly critical of popular cultural opinions is demonized is wild, especially when a lot of that porn is a) violent and misogynistic b) often accessible by minors c) gross and shallow d) myriad of other reasons far better writers have probably described

fuck I'm just so tired. seeking rationality online is just opening a pandora's box of garbage and seeing the reflection of how bleak the social hegemony has become.

I was hit by a vision. But for the Trash Version of Magnet specifically referenced Magnet lore for those unaware

I've seen a couple of people say not to have known what this is referencing so I feel like it's my duty to educate... Magnet is a Vocaloid song that just hit its 15th anniversary! A lot of people especially in the west regard it as their gay awakening etc for being a love song sung by Miku and Luka, two female Vocaloids, but it gained traction everywhere and it became a trend/meme to redraw the original illustration (seen in the song link) with other characters. Most popular anime etc ships are almost guaranteed to have a Magnet parody illustration of them lol. The pose is the main thing but it's also very important to include the butterfly wing headphones

The "Trash Version" linked way above is a parody of the original song with lines such as "We’re as straight as boards, I know you know that too, so why do I pretend I’m gay for you!?!". It's just funny lol

OKAY ACTUAL LAST THING AKFBRIWKAK but obviously, you keep your family life very private and your daughter is almost never seen in public bc that's how bakugou likes it, he doesn't talk about his family all that often bc he wants to keep it all close to his chest, and maybe he even gets a bit more shredded than usual by the media about it, as he already has a "reputation", but —

one day, a video that you took gets leaked, and it starts out with her sitting on your lap, chilled, relaxing, shaking some little rattle toy in her hand. and then the front door opens and you can see her peek her little head around like she's looking out, and then she's making some little humming noises and scooching off your lap and waddling away to stand in the middle of the hallway. and then katsuki comes into view and he stands there looking at her, glancing at you, before saying something that's too low to catch on camera, and then your daughter is squealing out some gibberish behind her chupie and running as fast as her little chubby legs can take her so he can pick her up and give her a kiss on her fat cheeks !!!!!

For the people who keep sending asks or leaving comments like "why do you self ship with a fictional character" or "stop being fucking weird and fall for real life people" -

First of all, there is literally no harm being done by self shipping with a fictional character. It's literally just for funzies, bc I am incredibly aware that they will NEVER exist.

Second, It's a comfort thing. Feeling like this character would care for me and love me, when this world has been nothing but cruel to me my entire life, it makes me feel like I can handle what the world throws at me. It gives me strength to keep going, knowing that this character I love would be cheering me on, even just a little.

Thirdly, it fills me with a huge ICK trying to be attracted to real life people. Sure, there's some super hot dudes/women out there but those are real people, and shipping yourself with real people has real impact. People don't deserve to be treated like a piece of media, people are PEOPLE, and they deserve a shred of respect, and it's disrespectful (TO ME, MY OPINION ONLY) to be so horny for a real person that you ship yourself with them. Like sorry, but you won't catch me shipping myself with like, Tom Hiddleston. I like him, I find him super hot, but I'm not gunna ship myself with him, ya know ? He's a real dude with real feelings.

This is literally just for fun, but some of you are taking the fun out of it by being awful and cruel human beings. Don't like what you see? Then block me. Let me be in my little bubble with my mutuals who understand and you go be with yours. The answer is in YOUR hands, and it's called the block button.

I'm not hurting anyone 😞 just stop.

i'm sure i am not the only one who is very concerned about the ~4 hours between when the midjourney change was made, and I knew to go opt out of it, so; glaze does not need to be on all your works to be effective. in the same way that one artist glazing all their works will ruin a broad, multi-artist dataset, glazing your works moving forward will ruin any dataset trained on you. if out of 100 comics I've posted, 10 are glazed, a dataset trained on all of my comics will not be able to make anything similar to my style. anyways. go download glaze.

All I’m going to say I think now that my brain remembered part of what it was thinking is that Taylor and Joe went through a lot together (good and bad) and regardless of how it ended or what led to it they both seem to be determined to keep that private and not throw each other under the bus and in the end they’re just two very, very different people whose outlooks in the long term were just never going to align and never has that been clearer.

i think the internet could be greatly improved if we just assume that OP is always talking to someone who is not you. if the post is not personally applicable or relevant, cool, this isn't a conversation you're in. this is a strangers' conversation that you're eavesdropping on.

[harbingerofsoup]

actually i lied, i want to swing a baseball bat at the wasp nest that is bummy shippers (they’re being annoying so they get a ship name to reflect that) since apparently they can’t just enjoy their ship

anyone else noticing that they’re starting to have big “shut up and be grateful for what you get, queers” energy when it comes to folks still wanting eddie to be queer??

normally i like to leave my notps alone, but they’re literally everywhere and the things they’re saying are leaning a little in the yikes direction

in hindsight the funniest part of the recurring cow jokes is that john says he built the wall out of cows and a bunch of sheep, and no one, not a single soul, seems to have spoken up on behalf of the sheep at any point fjsdkfhsajk. why the livestock sympathy inequality. why the cattle bias. I recognize that sheep are -- to be fair -- quite annoying to deal with, but if you prick them do they not bleat etc., it doesn't seem fair for them to get forgotten in the middle of all this

(the description of 'it was at this point that he had the grace to look embarrassed (may we even go so far as to say... sheepish)'... god stop being the funniest bitch in the world john I'm mad at you)

Do you ever write some incredibly small throw away line that you think nothing of at the time but then it becomes an integral part of one of the characters for the rest of the story.

Anyway Fawn Spots Harry was definitely told by one (1) random person he had known for all of three minutes at the time not to give his name to anyone he didn’t trust because they could do bad things with it and he decided that that was going to be a core part of his personality for the rest of time tbh.

Which, to be fair, he doesn’t have anything other than his name after the Dursleys leave him. That last piece of his life that wasn’t torn away from him when they left him alone and scared halfway across the world. It was also the first thing of his that had ever been given value, with someone he hardly knew telling him that it was important enough to keep safe.

Is it any wonder that he guards it jealously? That he holds it close to his chest so it can’t be used to hurt him?

It’s why his adoptive family uses so many nicknames for him. Why Andy and Alex refer to him as “my child “ or “Bambi” or “the fawn” when speaking to others. It’s why Hydra hardly ever says it outside of Parsel and only around people he knows Harry trusts. It’s why May had to wipe away tears when Harry told her his name for the first time, open and trusting.

It’s why the wizarding world loses Harry’s faith almost immediately by plastering his old name (thankfully. he would have crawled out of his skin if he saw his new family’s name tossed around so carelessly) over children’s books and newspapers and gods knew what else like they had any right to it. It’s HIS name after all. His to keep or give away. Why should they get to take it without his permission?

It’s why even his closest friends don’t know his name is “Harry Cyprin” not “Harry Potter” until after they faced a troll and lived. And it a secret Ron and Hermione guard just as carefully as Harry does.

Ry is going to find out later and be so unbearably smug about it.

is it me or is everyone on this website so fucking miserable about everything these days. about every show every movie every book every musician/band every post regarding social issues every art piece. actually not even just on this website on all social media type platforms. the sheer amount of posts/youtube videos i see titled “x is bad and here’s why”. y’all talk about people/problems that have never even remotely crossed my mind as a possibility of existing like it’s plaguing the earth as we speak. things that people act like are major problems in [x fandom] or whatever that i’ve straight up just never seen before. in circles i’m active in. not even in a “let people enjoy things!!!” type of way. just why are you so hung up on something minor clearly making you so upset. i’m a guy who loves to fight but like why are we fighting when it’s not even fun for either of us. and you know what i’m probably guilty of this too at this point but jesus christ. whatever. can we all just sit outside in the park and smoke a blunt and chill out like we used to.
