2 genres of fanfiction:

1) put that guy into situations

2) take that guy OUT of situations for the love of GOD let them REST 

#you put the sad guy in #you take the sad guy out #you put the sad guy in and you shake him all about

being on tumblr for a long time but never reading homestuck like

Lean into the funny idiot archetype so that when you’re unexpectedly hypercompetent at something they give you The Look where you can see them reexamine their entire perception of you in confusion, respect and no small amount of fear, and when you keep playing funny idiot they will be forever wary of you. Let them find out, incidentally, that the jester keeps a knife under his hat, and never figure out how to deal with that because they won’t abandon their boxes.

i keep mine in my fanny pack :)

Fire Lord Zuko passing a law that forbids challenging anyone under the age of majority to Agni Kai

Fire Lord Zuko waiting until the day he reaches the age of majority to pass this law, lest anyone think he is a coward

(No one. Literally no one would have thought that, but it’s generally regarded as a very classy move regardless)

Wait but also, until then, if anyone under the age of majority is challenged

Zuko fights it for them.

Which, especially in more rural towns (where Agni Kais are less of a public event and more of a fast and violent duel) is terrifying because you challenge your neighbor’s kid over a stolen chicken-fish and all of a sudden the Fire Lord is showing up???

But, those few who still challenge those who should be kids learn quickly to regret it.

Okay but this implies that Zuko knows whenever someone challenges a kid to an Agni Kai and is there before the battle takes place.

Firelord Zuko: *wakes up in a cold sweat near midnight*

Firelord Zuko: *running down the palace hallways while still struggling to put in his pants, being chased by his team of bodyguards* I’M GOING TO HING WA ISLAND TO KICK SOMEBODY’S ASS SEE YOU IN A WEEK BITCHES

Random spirit: Why’d you do that to him? Isn’t it kind of a stretch for a mortal to be blessed like that?

Agni himself: I felt like it

how dare you leave this gold in the notes

Saw a stag beetle fight off a magpie today it looked like this

First, see what random superpower you get.

Second, see the other half of your powerset.

Lastly, see what character archetype you'll be.

Lesbians dressed as clowns disrupted a "gender-critical" panel last month at University College London. Participants were surprised when trans and cis dykes from The Dyke Project obstructed the proceedings while in cheerful clown attire. Julie Bindel, one of the panelists, has been a major voice against trans, bisexual, and SWer rights. The protesters chanted, “you’re not feminists, you’re all clowns!” while interrupting her. More of these protests, please! Read the full story on Dazed.

At 0:19 you can see them fully assault a protester. Not "just" escorting them out the building, but shoving them onto the ground hard

Per the Dazed article, these protesters did the smart thing: rather than all begin shouting at once, the protesters took action in different groups. While the first group raised a banner, the remaining three groups pretended not to be protesters. Then, once the event organizers had removed the first group and begun the presentation over again, the second group of people (the ones in the video) began their disruption. Then the event organizers got everything in order and the third group of protesters interrupted them all over again. There was four groups in total!

The tactic has two benefits: first, they were able to make chaos a lot longer than they would've if they'd all protested all at once. But also, they got the TERFs to stop trusting each other. The protesters created an air of paranoia amongst the bigots and I hope it fucking haunts them until they're in the ground

Also FUCK Julie Bindel she is the WORST

Alright, now that I’ve handed these off to their intended recipients!

I had the delightful opportunity to meet up with some of my oldest and best fandom friends this weekend, friendships formed in the blistering inferno of a fandom that was already twenty years old when we met - ten years ago! When we decided on the trip I asked if anyone wanted a fic bound for them, fully expecting each of them to pick one of their own fics.

Instead they decided to pick one of mine, and while that’s very flattering, it also meant I had to bind a fic I wrote in 2018.

sobs in old flawed writing

Anyhow!

This one was easier than some, mainly because I mostly ignored the writing (because otherwise I was going to burn it down and re-write it completely), and focused on pretty details. The bookcloth is plum from Hollanders’ Verona line, the endpapers are Indian marble gold/silver on black (also from Hollanders), and the cover art is cut from holographic HTV and was an enormous pain in the ass. It doesn’t want to stick to anything!! The interior artwork was mostly purchased on Etsy and I’m sorry to say I can’t recall the seller at the moment. I printed on bright white A4 paper and sewed it with blue thread to match the castle which was supposed to be more purple but the screen lied.

Overall pleased with how this came out, except for the cover imperfections, and now I will endeavor to never read it ever again!

@chronicwhimsy @maevemauvaise @remsyk-blog I hope you enjoy them!

The best way I can describe why you need to watch Farscape is that it's Star Trek for sex freaks. And yes, I hear you out there, saying "umm actually Star Trek is Star Trek for sex freaks" but I am looking you in your eyes when I Assure you that it is not even approaching Farscape's level. "But OP have you seen the episode where-" yes. Yes I have. Farscape's doing it freakier. And sexier. I don't know how it's allowed either.

House would have figured out what’s wrong with Will Graham after nearly killing him and would have been like oh yeah also your therapist has been feeding you poison chicken soup that’s why you’re getting worse, probably should check his freezer too the guys not subtle with the cannibalism. But it’s easy to miss all this when you’re getting bent over the therapy chair instead of sitting in it.

Never seen House MD a day in my life, but yeah so real.

Jfc that kitty parade music justmakes it hilarious

I can’t believe this is an actual event that has taken place.

with the music that might actually be the most surreal thing i’ve ever watched

longe ago, the four nations livéd togethyre in harmonye

Farscape: Nerve

I claimed Jesus in a roleplay server and I was really bummed that for the next 3 days I couldn’t use him.

pretty sure in Catholic canon Jesus went to hell in those three days so guess what (:

HE WHAT

It’s called the Harrowing of Hell and it is a part of catholic mythology! The idea is that while Christ was dead for three days, he went to hell and just kinda…whooped ass until he came back.

He girlbossed his way out of that one, methinks
