Wow, a piece of media designed to sell toys to children! I sure hope it has extremely regular, un-bizarre lore...

comment i got on my newt/teresa fic lmaoo

to those who don't get it why i find that amusing: while i appreciate fandom culture around headcanoning a certain sexuality for a character and deriving joy from it, it amuses me that

1) people seem to think a fictional character's sexuality needs to be policed in fanfiction, the medium where fans make up fictional content on fictional characters bc they derive joy from it 2) that people talk of newt being gay as though it was canon, when it in fact was one (1) tweet trashner made for clout, and the newtmas fanbase is the one he's continually trying to milk for money and attention bc that's the only thing he's got left to do for publicity since his publisher dropped him for sexual harassment allegations.

before i hit post, i want to highlight that luckily, this isn't a mentality i've seen around in the maze runner fandom for a long time, or that i feel is rampant. i just have Thoughts TM about this, and getting a comment like that prompted me to spell them out again.

loads of love to the tmr fandom for being one of the loveliest places on the internet. <3

Shoegaze music

And sunsets over a really shitty street and converse with rocks in them and weed and a messy bedroom and fruity energy drinks and orangey street lights and a food you used to love and stray cats and an empty field next to something industrial and making out near the fence when it's cold out and driving over the highway in the early mornings and cold blue lights and 2 am cereal and showering in peace and melting in the summer like a popsicle with the window open as the sun pours onto the floor and your favorite jacket and eyeliner and overthinking and not thinking at all

Shine On, You Crazy Diamonds

I'm not super into modern AUs, but every now and then I get a hankering for some hardened-tattoo-artist-with-ennui-meets-baby-gay-bookseller-who-still-has-dreams. You know, as you do. Also I've pretty much read everything else while getting over the plague, and I gotta say to people who will understand:

I love that super niche interest AUs exist. Just the IDEA of them. I love that someone took their specific career, passion, hobby, graduate research, diagnosis, and that one long strange trip down the Wikipedia rabbit hole, and came to the conclusion that what this meet-cute needs, in explicit detail, is a(n):

X-ray technician

Urban mushroom hunter

Speech pathologist

Venomous snake milker

Crime scene cleaner

Prosthetic painter

Infectious disease specialist

Haunted house zombie

etc...

Even if I don't understand it, ESPECIALLY if I don't understand it. You clearly did when you wrote it.

look i think i could spin you a trans headcanon about any rider but the two who are undeniably trans men to me are hongo and shigeru. and i mean this in completely different ways

see "wrightworth as a successful relationship" isn't a factor of how i view ace attorney so when i come across stuff that depicts trucy as edgeworth's daughter figure my knee jerk reaction is to go "my god. he fucking took her." and i'm content with that because i think it's way funnier than the alternative

[princeshilo]

sometimes im like "wow holy shit im being really fucking annoying. i should stop talking" and then i pull out my magic 8 ball and it says "youve always been annoying and your friends chose to talk you anyways. youll be fine" and im like wow thanks magic 8 ball. and then the ogre attacks me

more good news from tiktok: they’ve started blocking celebrities.

they’re calling it block party 2024. just blocking and ignoring countless celebrities who havent said shit about palestine. influencers, actors, anyone who went to the met gala, whatever, they’re getting blocked. and people keep talking about how cathartic it is, how good it feels, how they never realized they could DO that. there was some kind of subconscious law against blocking famous people, but it’s broken, and people are LOVING it. and it’s WORKING. a social media/digital advertising coordinator was talking about how ad companies are PANICKING, because they can’t accurately target anymore. so many big influencers, including fucking LIZZO started talking about palestine the MOMENT their follower counts started going down. and the best part? no one is forgiving them. lizzo posted a tiktok asking people to donate to palestinian families, and all the comments just said you’re a multimillionaire. put your money where your mouth is. blocked.

i feel like i’m witnessing the downfall of celebrity culture, right here right now. people are waking up.

the fact that i'm no longer the same age as the protagonists of novels and films i once connected to is so heartbreaking. there was a time when I looked forward to turning their age. i did. and i also outgrew them. i continue to age, but they don't; never will. the immortality of fiction is beautiful, but cruel.

VERY IMPORTANT a dam in the Netherlands, the weerdsluis lock, is directly on a migratory path for spawning fish. They have a worker stationed there to open the door for the fish, but they can take a while to open it. So to keep the fish from getting preyed on by birds they installed a doorbell. Only, the fish don't have hands to ring the doorbell. If you go to their website, they have a LIVE CAMERA AND A DOORBELL that YOU RING FOR THE FISH when they're waiting, and then the dam worker opens the door for them! I can't express how obsessed I am with this. look at this shit. oh my god.

Please check on the fish doorbell once in a while :)

i do unironically think the best artists of our generation are posting to get 20 notes and 3 reblogs btw. that fanfic with like 45 kudos is some of the best stuff ever written. those OCs you carry around have some of the richest backstories and worldbuilding someone has ever seen. please do not think that reaching only a few people when you post means your art isn't worth celebrating.

this is cute but also i like to think the pope has to preface every single statement with "this isn't dogma but" like he has to break character for a sec and clarify that he's not speaking ex cathedra
