i think taylor swift wishes she was bisexual because she knows it would make her slightly more money. whereas sabrina carpenter wishes she was bisexual so she could have sex with someone who looks exactly like herself. and ariana grande wishes she was bisexual because she did too many designer drugs on the set of wicked and now she has kin memories of being glinda for real

he has a name :(

AU where Sauron literally pours all of his cruelty and malice and will to dominate all life into the One Ring...

And then just fucking stares at at it for five seconds before dropping it on the ground and leaving because without all that stuff he's Nice now.

tier 1 media analysis: why did blorbo do that

tier 2 media analysis: what is the story communicating by setting things up so that blorbo would do that

tier 3 media analysis: what does it say about society that stories keep being set up in these ways

The problem with saying "Frankenstein is about [X]" is the same as saying "Dracula is about [X]"- these books are not fables, they are novels. They do certainly draw from their author's lives and the cultural zeitgeist around them, so you could say Frankenstein is about:

• Mary Shelley's birth killing her mother
• Mary Shelley's own baby dying
• Mary Shelley never really getting her father's love and respect
• Mary Shelley's close friendship with Lord Byron, who had been exiled from society
• Mary Shelley being exiled from society herself following her elopement
• Mary Shelley "breaking up" a marriage where the wife later (but before the book's publication) killed herself
• A bad dream
• Erasmus Darwin's experiments
• A holiday in a place with history about alchemists
• A ghost story contest

All of those things were surely on Mary Shelley's mind when she wrote Frankenstein, consciously or unconsciously. The book is about all of these things, and also it's about an entirely fictional scenario.

sometimes i wonder if we have forgotten that sharing creative work is, fundamentally, a bid for human connection. like I'm not posting art or fic for 'engagement' i'm posting it looking for other sickos to play with! i'd be making it anyway for my own gratification because there's something wrong with me, i'm sharing it hoping we can have something wrong with us together <3

I love when cats get a claw stuck in your clothes and then act like it's YOUR fault. lil bro I'm literally just clad in garments you're the one with your terror toes deployed

the sunk cost fallacy has been my favorite fallacy for as long as I can remember. so at this point it's probably too late to pick a different one

it has been like at least eight years and sometimes I still think to myself, when I am tired, “but I am le tired… well then take a nap! AND THEN FIRE ZE MISSILES” even though in retrospect that is like one of the most embarrassingly unfunny videos to ever come out of the internet
