watching a video and realizing I miss the term "flame war", it was JUST tongue-in-cheek goofy enough of a term to describe how silly it was to carry on long arguments online over shit that doesn't matter and was often started/spurned by a troll. Now ALL of it is just "discourse" or "engagement" which feels like they put a godawful slap of PR paint over the surface of flame wars like a cheap landlord looking to charge 1000 dollars more for the same crumbling walls

It was cocky and overconfident to call the Titanic "unsinkable" but one thing that's overlooked is that she was genuinely really, unusually solid. She could float even with 4 compartments fully flooded, which even a lot of modern day ships can't do.

And it's not like they were wrong about her being solid! Olympic, her identical sister ship, survived being torpedoed and then running over the U-Boat that fired that torpedo. Those ships were solid.

It's very clear that absolutely no other ship in 1912 would have been able to survive that collision, and it's a testament to the quality of the ship that she didn't sink in a few minutes Empress of Ireland style. Part of what makes the Titanic such a tragic story is that it isn't a group of rich idiots locking themselves in a shoddy iron barrel to go 4km underwater. It was 2200 people, most of whom were poor immigrants, on a reliable ship on a commonly-made journey, and then something went horribly, unpredictably wrong.

The fact that people in the Hannibal universe are always saying that he is the monster of all monsters, and there is no name to describe the kind of evil he is and that he "defies categorization" is funny to me because Hannibal has never once raped a woman and to me that already makes him a very okay criminal lol like he's not that bad in my eyes, my man was just eating some rudes pls 😔✊🏼

Congrats on beating me out on my own ao3 account. I will now hunt you for sport

I’ve been busy recently so I haven’t been posting fanfics (next weekend I promise on my lying soul) but I just wanted to say

THANK YOU FOR 24 THOUSAND HITS AND 500 SUBSCRIBERS!! Not to mention the 460 bookmarks, nearly 2000 kudos and 138 comment threads!! This is so insane

Genuinely thank you all for your support, you inspire me to not only continue writing but to continue to believe in my work both IRL and in fandom 💙 🦇

so I got into grad school today with my shitty 2.8 gpa and the moral of the story is reblog those good luck posts for the love of god

a feel like the new generation of fanfic readers NEED to understand that clicking on a fic (interaction) does nothing. ao3 has no algorithm. your private discord discussions of fic do not reach the authors. if you do not actively engage with writers they will stop posting. this isn’t social media this is community.

On consideration, I can't really blame folks for not realising that Seven Deadly Sins Squidward was apparently meant sincerely by its creator, because who the fuck picks Squidward to represent the voice of reason in that scenario? His literal role in the show is to be a sanctimonious twerp who's wrong about everything.
