I fucking love pathetic men so much. A man who has every mental illness and he's constantly on the verge of a breakdown. He needs you to love him so badly because you're the only thing in his life that gives him any sense of purpose. He looks at you like you're God, worships you, grovels in front of you and is constantly asking for your approval. You can step on him, slap him, choke him, and he just pops a huge, throbbing boner. He mewls and whines when he's on the verge of cumming and begs you to keep going when you edge him. He's so desperate. He will be your dog. He's beholden to your every whim, completely at your mercy. He would die for you. He would let you kill him.

jayvik twt is having discourse over whether (in a modern AU) jayce would disrespect viktor's DNR (do not resuscitate). "oh that's so unethical that's so morally wrong, why would you say something so awful." and im sitting here like... my brother in christ He Did That In The Show???? it was kind of a huge deal??? did you FORGET????

@verpineshatterrifle your tags are literally so true and real!!! Wanted to post them because they're related to what I've been talking about with what makes someone aro or ace and how it is to live out being those things and because the exploring aspect of this is really underappreciated in fandom imo, both in the context of exploring the character and the character exploring themself. The nulls are such a great example of this because of their Situation, there's so much stuff they know about the world and so much they don't. The idea of them trying things out and it working or not working or working in an extra twisted way feels comfortable and likely. It's messy being anywhere on the aroace spectrum, especially when they live in a society that (I'm assuming) doesn't really know where to place those things

I’ve mostly posted the parts of the modern AU that are filled with whimsy because the internet is in shambles but rest assured, the directors cut in my head has a hard MA rating

Everyone praising Jagmeet Singh and the NDPs right now is baffling as a disabled person... Like. They completely threw us under the bus and co-signed the liberal party's plan to starve and murder us. They're not the great party you think they are.

hgnngh so im sure most of y'all know that there's been more scraping of AO3? and unfortunately my fics were in this batch -- so i've locked my fics to registered guests only.

I was hoping not to do that -- it makes sending links to people harder, sometimes you're just not logged in right away and your computer gives you a hard time about it, etc. -- but i feel very strongly about asking for permission before acquiring data. Informed consent, all the time, every time.

If you end up needing an invite to AO3, please come ask! I still have invites, and I'm happy to send you a code -- I don't want to get in between you and a good time. I understand that fic is important to a lot of us, and I wouldn't have written this much if I didn't feel that way.

Feel free to download the fics (there's a download button on AO3, and it works better if you click 'entire work' before downloading), pass them around to friends, all that! But I do not want my work feeding LLMs without my express permission.

i feel bad for raquel lee bolleau and i feel like what she's saying about the lack of transparency behind quiet on set is a bigger issue that the consumers of this type of content don't want to talk about or criticize. social media has led to a huge boom in tragedy porn and trauma porn about the entertainment industry but especially the children's entertainment industry, especially especially from the eras when the largest demographic in that audience were consuming it themselves.

it's already been problematic in itself that there is an oversaturation of unresearched and repetitive videos on the exploitation of former child stars. it seems like the creators and audience don't often ask themselves "have we gotten enough of this? do we need another take on it? is another video full of dan schneider rumors and gossipy forum posts really adding to the public discourse?" i don't know quite at what point it becomes exploitative that this content continues to be made, and be evergreen in social media algorithms. the volume, the reach, and the general lack of quality control are the evil triad. because we are far past the point where i really believe everyone consuming this stuff cares about exploited children. there's far too many people gawking and not reevaluating the systems of power involved. or, to put it more concretely: how many times do we all need to watch those clips of ariana grande squeezing the potato and spilling water on her neck? at what point is this just personally disrespectful and retraumatizing for the victims that for the most part we, the consumers of internet content, are claiming to advocate for?

quiet on set is the first time traditional media got involved in this niche. there is still a lot of value in some of the discoveries made by the series. but it does not have completely clean hands in this either. it does not feel like everyone involved in making the executive decisions cared nearly enough about the vulnerability of former child stars they recruited to share their stories, or hell, whose stories were told without their involvement, such as amanda bynes and racquel in episode 5. these people did not even give statements.

the focus of this docuseries was far too broad and not coherent enough at the end of the day. and they did not give enough support to all of the people they roped in to tell their stories about childhood trauma. i have a hard time trying not to be completely cynical about its whole production, because i really want to believe that many of the people who worked on it do care. not every individual involved knew or had control over the injustices that happened in its own production. but the executives? fuck em. they greenlit this thing, and probably incentivized the creators to make these episodes as fast as possible, because they knew it would be a cash cow. something as sensitive as THIS series should not be so poorly produced just because it will be a guaranteed smash.

[agendratum]

she's home and she's beautiful!!

now i just need to wait for the second book to come out so i can actually get a svsss book i haven't read yet (yes, having two first svsss books at home was not, in fact, a part of my plan when i originally bought the seven seas edition two years ago)

it's such a good green color. and soft touch. and the pages are nice. and aaaaah

i will definitely read it, even tho i read the first book already, to get the feel for the translation, the names and everything, idk if i will be able to but i'll try to wait for the second book to at least be announced, so i won't have to wait too much to read the next part after i finish the first one. again.
