Thinking to myself "they can't possibly have written this entire 20 000 word fic exclusively in 4chan greentext format", like a fool.
Give us the fic

“Creative people have trouble recognising their skills as skills, because eventually they feel like second nature. This stuff really is valuable, if it wasn’t, people wouldn’t be stealing it. Creativity doesn’t feel special or unique until you realise people have to plagiarise it.”

Wait, which series does Miles Morales first appear in? All these different series are so confusing
Ultimate Spider-Man, in the universe of the Ultimate imprint. It was the best of the Ultimate series.

This is why companies in the USA, and the government (very largely funded by people who own companies), work so hard to suppress unions.
I’m in a union. I don’t start work until 8:30. I log off at 5:00. I might be offered overtime but they can’t force me to accept it. I have an hour for lunch. I am not expected to answer calls or emails outside of working hours - in fact it’s actively discouraged. I accrue pto. I have a pension. I work remotely one day a week. My job duties are very clearly defined and if I’m requested to do something “above my pay grade” I’d literally have my pay grade adjusted for the length of time it takes to do those tasks (or accrue comp time).
Non-union jobs in the USA overwhelmingly tend to suck but they don’t have to.
People in charge are scared of unions, scared of the power employees have when united in a common goal. We outnumber them. We have power they can only dream of.

In the 1980s in France, musicologists and archaeologists Iégor Reznikoff and Michel Dauvois used their voices to explore caves with notable Paleolithic wall paintings. By singing simple notes and whistling, they mapped their perceptions of the caves’ acoustics. They found that paintings were often located in places that were particularly resonant. Animal paintings were common in resonant chambers and in places along the walls that produced strong reverberation. As they crawled through narrow tunnels, they discovered painted red dots exactly located in the most resonant places. The entrances to these tunnels were also marked with paintings. Resonant recesses in walls were especially heavily ornamented.
In a 2017 study, a dozen acousticians, archaeologists, and musicians measured the sonic qualities of cave interiors in northern Spain. The team, led by acoustic scientist Bruno Fazenda, used speakers, computers, and microphone arrays to measure the behavior of precisely calibrated tones within the cave. The caves they studied contain wall art spanning much of the Paleolithic, dating from about forty thousand years to fifteen thousand years ago. The art includes handprints, abstract points and lines, and a bestiary of Paleolithic animals including birds, fish, horses, bovids, reindeer, bear, ibex, cetaceans, and humanlike figures. From hundreds of standardized measurements, the team found that painted red dots and lines, the oldest wall markings, are associated with parts of the cave where low frequencies resonate and sonic clarity is high due to modest reverberation. These would have been excellent places for speech and more complex forms of music, not muddied by excessive reverberation. Animal paintings and handprints were also likely to be in places where clarity is high and overall reverberation is low but with a good low-frequency response. These are the qualities that we seek now in modern performance spaces.

Because I have a heated mattress pad on my bed, I rarely need much in the way of blankets. I can keep warm without them, technically. I've taken to making up my bed with a top sheet and a duvet cover, but no duvet inside it, which really just means three layers of sheet-thickness fabric on the bed. And that's fine! It's fine.
But this week I decided to bust out a duvet and stuff it into the duvet cover, and holy shit. I forgot how luxurious it feels to have a poofy blanket on the bed. I forgot what it was like to curl up under a big fluffy duvet. I had forgotten the faces of my comfy, comfy fathers. True luxury is six inches of blanket on top of me and a cat on top of that.
I will never forsake my duvet again. Hygge forgive me.
really hilarious and unsexy when hetero romantasy authors refer to love interests as males and females. you sound like david attenborough narrating a special documentary on two turtles humping in the mud
i don't care if he's the king of the fae. if that man called me a desirable female i'd have him gelded

people have this tendency to believe that fandom discourse exists because people in fandoms are Stupid Nerdy Losers, but in fact fandom discourse exists because anytime you get a group of more than 100 people together, they will start creating interpersonal bullshit. fandom is not special in this regard
100 people?
100?
More like 3.

you can never go back. this is your one life. you had a bad childhood and that's it. you lost your teen years to mental illness and that's it. you're miserable in your 20s and that's it. you just go forward
It’s never to late to survive a bad childhood, find people who support your obsession, realize your positive traits and skills, and engage in things you’re passionate about.
Bonus points if you’re a sloppy Bear bisexual but it’s not required.
