in regards to wattpad. my work is still up on the site. i have made an account. i have reached out to those who have uploaded my works to wattpad. every time this happens it feels like a slap in the face, and here's why:
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
here are some examples of the dm's i have sent to people on tumblr who ask to translate my fic. some dating back to august (literally not even a month after art heist was completed)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
here are the two most recent examples i can find of my responses to people asking to translate my fic in my ao3 comment section (i have responded to every person asking to translate my works on ao3 in a similar fashion)
Tumblr media
and here is my pinned post in regards to Art Heist, Baby! that has been there since before Art Heist, Baby! was even completed. in all instances, across all platforms, my stance has been the same. (not to mention the tumblr posts and asks i've made on this blog expressing my anti-wattpad position).
Tumblr media Tumblr media
and yet, here is my fic on wattpad. so at this point, i'm forced to assume that those who are uploading my work on wattpad have seen my position on it, and are choosing to blatantly disregard it, or they haven't even extended me the courtesy to ask if i'm okay with translations before they went ahead and did it. both are bad. and extremely frustrating. and furthermore, aggravating that i am not the only author this is happening to. i can scream until i'm blue in the face about respecting authors and their wishes, but at the end of the day it is so disheartening to see that people in this fandom think that i am not worthy of the basic human decency to have my own work published where i am comfortable posting it, and they have the entitlement to lift my work and do what they please with it. it makes me not want to share my work if i know that it will be used in this fashion. that's all.

how do conservatives think talking to children works? if a four year old came up to me and said “i’m a cat!!” i would say “really? what makes you a cat?” and they’d say some shit like “i have claws >:)” and i’d be like “oh wow, you do have claws. but wait, i thought cats had pointed ears!” and they’d say “they DO!!!” and then i’d pull up a picture of an elf and ask “is THIS a cat?” and they’d yell “NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO”
u wouldn’t say “fucking hell, Emily, get it together. this is the real world”

As a reminder that good exists out there, a coworker recently confessed to me that he found out his child is questioning their identity (kid's gender redacted for this post). The kid is keeping it from him, so he can't say anything to them or show that he knows, but he's doing his best to get mentally prepared and educated so that he'll be ready whenever his kid does feel comfortable enough come to him.
For context, this guy is a big, bulky middle aged dude who loves sports and typical outdoor "manly" activities. As his coworker and friend, I know he's a kind and sweet teddy bear of a person, but his kid probably views him as a stern, authoritarian figure, the way most teenagers view their parents. His family lives in a conservative area, so I'm sure between that, their dad's looks and interests, and the fact that their dad is a Figure of Authority, the kid is worried that they won't be accepted.
But you know what? When he found out about his kid, the first thing he did was reach out to his closest queer friend and ask for resources for parents of questioning children. His biggest fears are that his kid will be bullied or discriminated against and won't feel comfortable enough to be themself. His second action was to find himself a mentor in another parent who went the same situation (kid coming out in a conservative town). The other person is preparing him for some of the struggles his kid may face and the fights he may need to take on as a parent to make sure his kid is safe and treated well.
Something I want to emphasize for people focused on language as the primary method of allyship is that when we spoke, he used some outdated terms and thoughts about gender and sexuality. That does not make him bad. These were the terms and thinking used about questioning teenagers when he was growing up and he never needed to learn more current ones. But now that he does have that need, he's throwing himself in head first because that's his kid and he's darn well going to make sure that his kid feels welcomed and has a safe place to be themselves even if they never come out to him.

i have a brain problem that prevents me from understanding people who need so much specifically newly-released TV shows that they're upset by the prospect of going a few months without new ones being produced
like they could stop making video games and books today and I wouldn't notice until sometime in 2026. honestly if they'd stop making new video games for a while that'd be kinda convenient. everyone take a break and let me catch up. I still haven't even played Persona 5.

zany to me how these um actually nihilists like to pretend that "um actually love/friendship/cooperation/kindness isn't real bc we evolved that way to benefit ourselves as a species..." um YES? that's also where tool use comes from? that's where cooking comes from? am i supposed to think social bonds & tool use & cooking aren't "real" because they evolved over time instead of appearing fully formed from the ether?
sorry u can't enjoy things. im a superior being twirling a fork in my bowl of delicious noodles whilst staring in adoration at the world
