Some day I want to write one of those time loop VNs where the only way to break the time loop is to reach the end of the affected span without anybody murdering anybody else, which is much more difficult than it sounds not because there's a secret murder conspiracy or a magical serial killer, but simply because there's some Jean-Paul Satre shit going on and this specific group of people seems to have been chosen specifically for their ability to drive each other to homicide.

something that I feel like is missing from fandom nowadays is the idea that you dont have to have a unified, chronologically/tonally consistent interpretation of your favorite work. your fics dont have to fit within the same version of canon, even if theyre all canon-compliant on their own. your headcanons can contradict each other. be a multishipper. write metas that take two totally different interpretations of the same plot point. write a character as a villain and then write them as the hero next time. write a character as a lesbian and then write them as straight next time! engage in hypotheticals and drop them when you get bored! make up the rules as you go!! have fun with it!!!

One Florida county decided to publish a big list with the addresses and names of people who had convictions for dealing or cooking meth. Like, goddamn, man, just start handing out business licenses and collecting taxes on it at that point.

The UK government did an investigation into the porn sites that haven't yet implemented the age verification measures and they...I shit you not, they published a list. A LIST of all the porn sites. That you can still access without having to verify your age. They made a government employee make a list of all the porn sites and check if they have age verification and then they published a list of those that don't. For all the public to read.

The maid who's just a regular maid hits different than the sexy-maid who's got track pants and an over-the-shoulder-boulder-holder bra on under her sexy maid uniform and looks like she'd put her cigarette out on you if you so much as think of saying "Ooooh la la" in her vicinity.

I'm usually annoyed when folks try to subvert something that was itself a subversion and end up just taking it full circle while being smug about it, but I make a specific exception for OCs based on sexified versions of mundane professions because it's almost always hilarious. "They're a sexy clown who's bad at being sexy" so, like, a regular clown?

Well, I think we should give leopard seals gills. I want to see what those bastards do when they don't ever have to come up for air.

science-fiction always implies gene-editing and critter creation would always either result in xenomorphs or jurassic park 1:1 recreations of what people thought dinosaurs would look like in 1920. a more realistic approach to the topic would be to acknowledge the first thing we will do is give snow leopards gills. and then we will let them swim

MURDERBOT TV SHOW POLL

Just curious about how everyone else feels…

Obviously the Murderbot TV show was a thing* and people had views BUT this is specifically about how the show presented/portrayed/depicted a particular relationship

[anyone who knows me will have guess where this js going]

Checking the fanfic of the TV show on AO3 the top five relationship tags look like this:

Question for YOU:

Do YOU think the TV show actively encouraged shipping Dr Gurathin and Murderbot

🖤🖤Please reblog for greater numbers of responses🖤🖤

*to me: a beautiful, unexpected and wonderful thing (your mileage may vary and that’s fine)

distressing things to say to your friends

It also really heavily depends on the scope and setting for the story.

There are somewhere around 12,000 actual Olympic athletes in any given year. The best people in any given country at that sport who aren't getting actively paid to do it for a living. For almost every event, there's basically an asshair's difference between getting a medal and placing fourth.

Is your gold-medal sprinter back in his hometown smoking people on the track at a charity race to impress the one who got away in high school, or is he in the Olympic Village?

So my 14 year old has an idea that he's calling the "Million Adam Smashers" argument. The reference is from Cyperpunk 2077, where there is a character, Adam Smasher, who has turned himself into a living tank, a complete cyborg in which the only thing still human is his literal brain. My son's argument is this: as a creator--a writer, game designer, manga artist, whatever--you need to ask yourself, why is this guy unique? Why are there not a million Adam Smashers? All you need is money, connections, and a specific mindset that allows you to cope with or disregard your supposed lack of "humanity", and you too can be Adam Smasher. And he's right; there should be dozens, hundreds of rich assholes who might otherwise get into racing or yachts or something but if you can become a terrifying cyborg capable of stopping a car with one hand, at least some people, out of the billions in the universe, would choose that. Why don't Arasaka and Militech just have twenty Adam Smashers apiece?

More broadly, he's making a point about fictional characters, usually main characters--is what makes them special, you know....actually special? Are they the main character because these things happened to them, or did these things happen because they're the main character? Why are they Adam Smasher, and not someone else? It's a test; a check to make sure you're not favoring the character because you're enamored with that character.

I think it's an interesting mental exercise. Take a good look at your universe and your characters and make sure that if there's only one Adam Smasher, only one Captain America, only one Rock Lee, only one Joker, there's a good reason.

Patiently waiting for the Wikipedia episode summaries of a show I have no intention of ever watching to be updated to include the new season so I can understand what the fuck you people are talking about.

yeah i drive the truck that isekais all those lonely 20yo NEETs and bored salarymen. it’s a really hard job. they keep sending me to workplace counselling after each hit. “it’s normal to feel guilt at ending someone’s life,” they say. how do i tell them that’s not what makes me feel guilty? “but it’s okay. he’ll live a better life in another world.” yeah, with 100 girls who could have lived normal lives but got drafted into being in these boring dudes’ harems. how many women’s lives have i ruined. and they don’t even know. they don’t even know

Just to clarify, there's a bill that would STOP credit card companies from controlling who's allowed to spend money on porn or "risque" (read: queer) content. If you don't think big business should be able to tell you what to spend your own damn money on, call your senators and reps to let them know! It's the Fair Access to Banking Act, H.R.987 in the House, S.410 in the Senate.

Horses are exceptionally devious creatures.
