I can clearly remember the moment I first realised my mother and I were living on completely different planes of existence. I was 7 years old and I came home from my school’s first track and field day having placed second or third in every event. the teachers had been making jokes all afternoon about how many times they had to call my name. my friends thought I was cool as shit. my enemies thought I was cool as shit too, come to think of it. I was proud as hell. so I get home with the entire front of my shirt covered in ribbons like I was a military dictator who’d awarded himself every medal, I walk into the kitchen and tell my mum all about my day, and she goes “oh, that must be disappointing not getting any firsts.” and I’m like no?? first of all the first place ribbons are red and I don’t like red. second of all look at me. there’s literally nowhere left on my body for accolades. I am fucking Jacked of All Trades. how could this possibly be a disappointment.
I searched up the line “you cannot give me anything, because all the you have is stolen” from Pluribus and somewhat ironically the google ai perceived that as a prompt insulting it.
I didn’t mean it in that way but, yknow what? I agree. The LLM is built off of people’s work who didn’t consent; it can give me nothing of its own, just a generation of plausible words.
Ok, here is the OFFICIAL AND ONLY CORRECT GUIDE to starting reading Prachetts Books. Its a multiple step process, so read all steps carefully otherwise you will be wrong and shunned to eternity.
1. Go outside.
2. Trust the universe for once in your life.
3. Find any of these: Library, Thriftstore, secondhand bookshop, a cupboard with free books, …
3. Locate the Prachett Book.
4. The universe has now deciced with which book you must start with.
Friendly reminder that asking your lycan partner to turn you is incredibly insensitive! Seriously can we retire this trope already? Not only is it just offensive, but no one would ever actually choose this life! Lycanthropy is a curse. Full stop.

Ok user “moon-moon” as if that original meme wasn’t created to mock pack nomenclature 🙄
Anyway I’m not gonna touch that internalized lycanphobia with a ten foot pole. Being turned by your partner is something that can be incredibly intimate as long as both parties are consenting and the one being turned is 100% sure they want it. Literally the only downside to transforming once a month is the pain, but midol works just fine. No one with these “lycanthropy bad” takes ever wants to discuss the legitimate positives that come with this “curse” lmao.

I’m literally reclaiming moon moon but go off I guess. Anyways turning your partner is absolutely disgusting and morally reprehensible and anyone who does it should be muzzled permanently.

lmao my wife literally saved my life when she turned me but i guess she should be muzzled huh? we run through the woods hunting deer together and can each haul in groceries in one trip now, but nooo she’s obviously a danger to society because she cares enough about me to help me when insurance wouldn’t cover my medicine
also it was confirmed that the creator of that meme literally makes and sells silver bullets so if you still wanna use moon moon for yourself that certainly is a choice. source: (X)

I love that instead of naming the more common benefits of lycanthropy, you mentioned that you and your wife can carry all the groceries in one trip. I think that’s definitely a positive that gets overlooked far too often and I commend you for speaking your truth, sir

wasn’t OP the same guy who said fursuits were offensive to lycanthropes and doxxed a werewolf fursuiter?
🐺 moon-moon4w00 Follow
They ARE offensive and harmful to this community and I’m tired of pretending they’re not. They perpetuate harmful depictions of what a humanoid wolf is actually like.

me when I dox someone for making candy colored animal costumes that look nothing like what a real werewolf does
And so many others who were killed or are dying in detention centres, prisons ect
racial bias is always something we must be aware of, Renee will be focused on because she was a white woman and a US citizen, but do not forget all the other victims of ICE, may they all rest in power
Something so disgusting about how the original Haitian zombie folklore is “the zombies are victims of a sorcerer who exploits them as slaves” and then modern zombie media is “the zombies just appear from an infection that turns Real People into a rampaging horde serving no other purpose than to threaten Civilization” like.
The Haitian zombie is very clearly metaphorical for the very real horrors of slavery, while the viral zombie is fundamentally about “what if there was a type of guy it was completely okay to kill and you got to exist in a survivalist fantasy as a Badass, also when infrastructure collapses it’s every man for himself and altruism goes away”
And isn’t it super interesting to think about that in the context of historical US-Haiti relations?
Also there’s many of them and they spread and become innumerable hordes who invade your town but also you can kill hundreds of them because they’re individually weak and stupid
A completely disorganized horde of weak, uncoordinated, literally feral humans that a Real Badass can take out by the thousands, but they somehow overwhelm all the regular people and cause the collapse of society. It’s up to the Great Men to fix the problem. This totally isn’t a fascist fever dream.
literally so important to have friends where you can be like “can i be insane for a second” and then you get to be insane. and they still like you afterwards
important caveat is that they need to tell you gently when you are being insane in a way that is harming you
