funniest addition to the hunger games films was katniss grabbing peeta by the scruff like a misbehaved chihuahua. ..just man-handled all five foot five inches into that wall.
sometimes when reading classic superhero porn fic scenario “hero is auctioned off to a group of bad guys who are bidding for the right to do evil 😉 things to them 😍” i’m like i love this but man it’s so common, who started this trope? what porn fic got this thing going? is it from the livejournal era, perhaps? from the days of print zines? and then i pick up an innocent dc comic to read and like okay nevermind dc was stroking it to that idea before any of us got the chance to invent it
The answer to “where did superhero comics fandom get this weird/fucked up and/or porn fantasy fic trope is always, always “an actual real comic that Marvel or DC actually published.”
Vikings didn’t have horns on their helmets but I bet if you showed them a single modern Viking depiction they’d all start doing it like gangsters imitating The Godfather
if you want butterflies, you need to live with caterpillars.
i am not being metaphorical, i work in a garden center, stop buying plants ‘to bring in the bees and butterflies’ and then immediately poisoning every caterpillar that dares to consume a single leaf
you will not get butterflies if you kill all the things that turn into butterflies! what are you doing!
if vampires existed in real life i think there would be shady companies advertising “organic blood” sourced from “willing donors” who are coincidentally all poor people being paid like $5 per blood donation. and like haughty vegan vampires who only drink a synthetic blood drink thats brewed in a way thats actively worse for the enviroment. and radical traditionalist vampires who go on tiktok and claim that true alpha chads have to drain and kill people and anyone who leaves their victims alive is a liberal cuck. enter the world of hypothetical insufferable vampire politics with me.
tumblr users’ obsession with self-reporting (especially as a weird form of penance) needs to be studied
you don’t need to tell the world you still like Harry Potter because it’s your comfort movie or because your dad read it to you when you were little or something like that in response to a post about the harm continued monetary support of Harry Potter causes. you don’t need to tell tumblr all the myriad of reasons you don’t like rap under a post about how rap is often misrepresented as ultra-violent or overtly sexual and misogynistic because of racism. No one on tumblr has to know anything about you. no one has to know you still read your old Harry Potter books or that the only rap artist you like is Eminem. No one is going to say “oh of course you’re the One True Good Person with a Good Reason!” when you say that rap is difficult to listen to because of your auditory processing disorder or you’re only a part of the Marauders fandom. Just keep your shit to yourself and don’t embarrass yourself under other peoples’ posts.
funniest possible reply and its not even on purpose
When I was in high school we did an english unit on Octavia Butler and the teacher told us hey btw. You should call her “Butler” in your essays. Sometimes students call female writers by their first names unconsciously, but that’s not acceptable. If you wouldnt call them William or Ernest you shouldn’t call her Octavia.
And I was like cool whatever I was gonna call her Butler anyways. But that moment has stuck with me for my whole life because once you start seeing ppl calling women by their first names where men would be called by their last names you literally never stop seeing it.
