"How come you never promote reels about my books on Insta/Tumblr/Twitter"

Idk bestie (derogatory at this point); maybe because you use photosensitive, potentially seizure-inducing filters, and despite me telling you this is why I won't promote your work, you refuse to use anything else.

Like sorry if I care more about the safety of my followers than your work, but if you've been told something is an issue, refuse to do anything about it, then come at me saying it's not fair that I talk about other people's books, that's on you.

I ain't risking giving someone a seizure because you're too invested in using the latest filters to actually market your shit properly.

alright i have a mild dilemna that i need advice on

on my course we have to post these weekly self-reflection things responding to the themes of the week's class and some questions about it. i posted last week's and yesterday the course convenor replied to it in a way that implies i was wrong (in my SELF reflection) and just generally misunderstands my point/takes it in bad faith. i've shown these posts to others on the course and they agree that my original post adressed the things her reply asks about and that she has misinterpreted me, in quite a "cheeky" way

my issue now is: do i reply and try to explain myself better? or is it better to just let it go?

i don't want to dig myself in deeper if she's really opposed to my viewpoint, but at the same time i do feel like i answered the questions thoroughly in the first place and the things she's accusing me of aren't fair

is it weird that it’s kinda healing seeing celebrities I grew up with in the 90s and early 00s gain weight and keep that weight on, working the same jobs they’ve always worked (cause weirdly their fucking weight had nothing to do with anything all along, imagine that)??

I can’t remember a single celebrity on my tv growing up who looked anything even closely resembling me, particularly not in my age range. every single example of what a girl & woman was, was thin to the extreme.

But as these same women age, their bodies change, and some of them have, I think (I hope), stopped seeing this as some kind of failure that needs to be fixed. And they look so good! I’m not naming anyone specifically here cause I don’t really want to be talking about other peoples bodies, but do want to acknowledge what I hope is something that … maybe… is very slowly shifting for the better.

I’m also hoping that some day soon I’ll stop being happily surprised when I see a thin or muscled dude loving a fat woman on my screen.

just finished a 3k action scene thanks to ateez’s new song, so as a celebration i’m posting an excerpt of the witch mafia au, which i don’t think i’ve done on here before? suprising, given it’s now over 30k in length and i love posting pieces of my writing, but i’ve been trying to keep this one quite close to my chest so i don’t fall into the trap of ‘i’ve told people about it so now i don’t have to write it’.

but it’s nice to work on it again after such a long time away, so i’m giving in.

cw for mentions of violence and death, because this is still a mafia au even if it’s magic, and i am choosing not to pull my punches too much with that.

The cobbles twist beneath Felix’s feet, and he’s forced to turn just in time to see Hyunjin holding the stranger up by his throat, the air around his face twisted with heat-haze as the structure of his neck just… collapses beneath the burn of Hyunjin’s hand. The corpse falls to the cobblestones as they settle and still without his magic to move them, displaced dust lifting from the ground in fading clouds around the body; and for the briefest moment of quiet, Hyunjin meets Felix’s eyes.

The world moves in slow motion between them. Soot rises and swirls in the heat of Hyunjin’s skin, dark eyes lit golden and red by the embers rising from his mouth as he exhales; his hair has come loose from its tie and it drifts around his head in the breeze created by the flames that still lick at his fingers, wreathed around his bare arms like a lover’s caress. He is beautiful, and terrible, and something beyond human.

Putting entropy in the hands of mortal men… it doesn’t make us gods, Chan had told Felix once, and back then he’d believed it. Back then he’d understood that men with magic in their blood were still men, and could never be anything more, no matter how hard they tried.

Looking at Hyunjin now, Felix isn’t so sure.

dick grayson (as nightwing) deserves a spiderverse moment give that mf the spotlight in a preferably animated, passion project that's both a love letter to old fans and a good starting point for new fans and that also redefines the way pop culture sees that character i don't think you understand how much i need that

Why did you never notice.

I wore long sleeves every fucking day, two summers in a row.

I joked about killing myself constantly,

But you never asked if I was ok, really.

I cried myself sick that night,

And went to school the next day.

You didn’t notice.

I never brought food to school,

Would refuse to eat,

Started wearing baggy clothes,

You didn’t ask if something was wrong.

When you heard about what she did to me,

You didn’t say anything.

A hug.

That was all I wanted.

It wasn’t until I really tried to kill myself.

And even then.

You will joke about it,

Because in the end that’s it.

I’m the mentally ill friend.

The cutely suicidal one.

But you didn’t notice,

And now that you do,

You still don’t do a thing

i keep seeing those "your cishet golden retriever gamer boyfriend does not respect your identity as an afab trans person, they only see you as afab" tiktoks and all the comments are like "not me tho, y'all stay safe!" YES YOU. go look at how your boyfriend talks about you to his friends. it's all "girlfriend" and "she". he does not use your pronouns when you aren't there. he sees your identity as a quirk, something that can be overlooked for your other qualities.

Extremely dangerous how "grooming" in the context of child sexual abuse went from being a very specific pattern of isolation and trust-building with the aim of abusing someone to "telling children anything that contradicts their parents' ultra-conservative worldview is grooming" to "selling rainbow flags in a store is grooming" to "literally anyone I don't like is a groomer".

These days the word seems to most often be used by people who don't care about what it actually means and just want an easy "this person is irredeemably evil, kill them now" button.
