Read Several People Are Typing.

@the-howling-follows

Would you like to *be* a Sunset?

Unfortunate side effect of describing the theme (loose term) of this blog to my irl friends (who are now reading several people are typing) is the fact that I'm shit at keeping anything on theme and use this blog specifically as a throwaway account. Like this isn't even the one I reblog actually funny or particularly interesting posts it's just like. Option 2 on the quick reblog feature yknow. This isn't dedicated to the book and I really need to stop describing it like it is. I don't even remember which blogs I've been referencing the characters in reblog tags

you know how some cats have insane neuroses and quirks. well my recently adopted cat Rosita, who is a former feral, was said to find toes and bare skin in general "suspicious" in her shelter description. i was like, oh okay, well my other cat attacks toes, cats do that sometimes i suppose

little did we know what this means is that she not only attacks toes but if she sees you with your ankles or bare arms out for example, there is a high chance she will slap you. she will literally just come up to you and slap you where your skin is showing unless its your face. she doesnt hiss or growl or anything she will just give you a disapproving slap or two i assume to voice her disagreement with how you present yourself

this cat wants you to cover your arms and ankles NOW. slut

it is ludicrous that testosterone will make you gain muscle even if you just sit on the couch doing nothing. like transing yourself really does expose you to dark secrets

Pondering the mysterious circumstances that could have led to such a sign being posted, sources within a local apartment building said Thursday that an enigmatic new rule taped to the wall of their laundry room suggested a strange infraction had taken place. “It just says ‘Dryers are for clothes only’—what the hell happened here?” asked tenant Brian Mercuri, 33, who said the sign wasn’t there the last time he did laundry, indicating that during the past week someone must have done something “awfully weird” with one of the facility’s machines.

Do you ever look back on a post where you were shitty to an obviously marginalised person for asking for the tiny tiny crumb of consideration that is "please don't literally express a wish that I didn't exist", and think "actually I kinda wish I could take that back"?

Because there's still time. You could just delete it. This doesn't have to end up being the next era of your life.

I really just have to emphasise that this is what you’re mad about:

wizard school is a fun and versatile subject to write into a story and i need more of it until people stop going "oh like hogwarts" whenever the concept comes up

bigotry against left-handed people is inherently the least funny form of oppression because it makes right-handed people go lol isn't it stupid that we used discriminate against people based on something so ridiculous? as if skin colour, culture, weight, disability, religion etc are somehow sensible and logical things to discriminate against. then i go outside and make a fool of myself because all the tools are right-handed and no one thought to provide me with tools i can use.

girl who is going to spend all day in bed: naw its okay once i get ul brush my teeth cook breakfast take my morning pills check the mail take out the trash and do the laundry i can start my day dont even worry about it. huh? whens the last time i went outside? why are you asking me that?

i'm more sympathetic than most to the gay women who are like "i can't get into f/f romance because it feels too personal" because for awhile that was me. and this was mostly because yknow i was a teenager still developing my own feelings on being gay. but also it's not like pathologically avoiding something because its proximity to your own sexuality is alienating and uncomfortable will make you More comfortable with your own feelings on romance and sex. the truth is that i think women kind of Are conditioned to/expected to relate to fictional narratives with a level of personal projection and emotional intimacy that men aren't expected to need.

i don't remember who said this so i'm having a hard time finding the source and am about to butcher this anecdote but it's like. some musician woman talking about how all of her songs are assumed to be autobiographical and intimately personally revealing, and her thought on that is something along the lines of "why can't anyone ever say I'm a good storyteller." To me that's part of the same line of misogyny that makes people relate to f/f works this way.

In general there's a pretense that women's fiction skews towards the autobiographical in a way men's doesn't. like phoebe waller bridge accidentally making shit really hard for her family after releasing fleabag because of how large a portion of the audience thought it was an attempt to depict her own family's real life dynamics [x]. Like it couldn't have been Fiction, it had to be a Fictionalization in these peoples' eyes.

Basically like either as creators or as the audience women aren't afforded the capacity to engage with fiction as intellectually interested third parties. you have to be either reproducing your own immediate emotional landscape, or you have to be projecting that immediate emotional landscape onto one of the characters.

and like i dunno man i think once i accepted "i don't need to emotionally connect to every or even any depictions of lesbian romance i see in fiction" it became much easier to get into f/f. like ohhh none of this has to be about me even a little bittttttttt... i'm literally not involved here at all. abandon the pursuit of "representation" as an endgoal of fictional experiences.

in the United Kingdom, people eat a street food known as the ‘tesco meal deal’, often made up of a sandwich, a side, and a beverage. it is renowned for being a cheap and easy option for many. however the more adventurous palate can opt for the ‘greggs sausage roll’ for a truly local flavour…

re: that recent post an interesting thing about being an any pronouns user is that most cishet people will hear that and immediately go "oh thank god I can just call you the normal girl pronouns" and many queer people will go "okay got it I'll use they/them and apologize if I ever fuck up and use a different one" and it's like. okay. you're actually both kind of whiffing it in different ways.

first thing id do as a skeleton is drink red wine from a goblet and have it spill out everywhere . second thing id do is play my ribs like a xylophone

there's so many great random npcs in ZA like "cute glasses lady who puts old girders in a heap to feed the local wild Aron and thinks poison would be a good flavoring"

this is what Pokemon is all about baby
