Why does nobody talk about the extremely awkward transition that characters who usually call each other by their last names are forced to go through when they get together in a fic. Like, I’m aware that realistically most couples don’t go around calling each other by their surnames, so I can understand why a lot of authors choose to do it, but for some characters I simply cannot accept them being on a first name basis.

I’ve noticed the Top Gun fandom struggles with this when it comes to deciding at what stage of a relationship characters should stop referring to each other by their call signs (the correct answer is never). Or in Starsky and Hutch fics where the author will clumsily try to have them adjust to calling the other by their first name, but it’s like- I’m sorry- If I worked in that police station and suddenly the pair of them strolled in the next day calling each other “Ken” and “David” I would probably think they had been replaced by imposters (again).

crazy how cis people will fully recognize how damaging it is to go through puberty that doesn't line up with your identity. but when we say "yeah that's why we need puberty blockers / gender affirming care for minors" they'll say "noooooo, we meant it would be harmful to our vulnerable cis kids who might regret it. we're gonna make sure that every single trans person has to go through this trauma, to prevent the slim chance that a cis kid might <3"

there are many things tumblr as a whole has to learn but one of them is “someone can reblog a post without them endorsing every action the op has ever taken, we are not beholden to do background checks on the producers of every shitpost on the internet”

i dont want this post to be like one of those "if you arent talking about this then you're evil" moral ocd posts but. i gotta talk about this.

i only just today heard about Kumanjayi White, a 24 year old disabled Warlpiri man who was killed by northern territory police on May 27th. He was handcuffed and forced to the ground, face down, with an officers knee on his neck. He was walking around a grocery store, by himself. A worker at the grocery store described him, saying, "One look and you can tell he's got special needs".

A poor and disabled Aboriginal man was killed in the northern territory and i can't help but notice the similarities to George Floyd. Murdered in a public place, knee on the back of his neck. Only difference is i havent heard a word about this anywhere, in the news or otherwise, since it occured 2 and a half fucking weeks ago. where's the anger? i dont like making political posts, i hope this doesnt break containment its just. god its fucking pissing me off right now.

There was a TikTok post about an advertisement for “blood-making pills for weak women” someone found in a newspaper from the 1890s and everybody seemed to think it was just an example of the weird misogyny of the day and age but no. Anemia was a massive public health concern. It always has been through history but part of the reason we have this idea of old timey women thought history being physical weak, chronically cold and pale and fainting is because they often they were. Anemia was also a massive problem for men in that day but even now it disproportionally affects people who menstruate. So tonics full of stimulants and “healthful vitamins” were marketed at young women in pages upon pages of advertisements in every newspaper. People generally felt like shit all the time back then.

i feel like nobody has NOTPs anymore. like if you hate a ship now it has to be for some deep moral reason and you have to justify it to everyone what happened to just not liking stuff that isnt inherently bad but just because you personally think it sucks

Look I don't wanna bitch but if your Tumblr fic takes longer to scroll past than the Do You Love The Colour Of The Sky post then it would be kinda appreciated if you put the majority of it under a Read More button
