"kill them with kindness" wrong, chain lightning.
“the worst they could say is no” true but while they are saying it they very well could hit me with force lightning like palpatine. From star war
Sali. Non-binary. Black. Lesbian. don't talk to me or my fave mistreated female characters ever again (header by @sensepeters)

Adhd will have you too burnt out to eat or shower but give you the hubris to decide you can homebrew an entire d&d system on the back of a receipt
“unalive myself” “grippy socks visit to the hospital” “corn addicts” talk like a fucking grown up. seriously.
"Gen z slang came about by cowtowing to algorithms made by large corporations and ad execs, that is SO PUNK compared to millenial slang which is about being individually unique."
Modern "punks" have no idea what punk stands for. In other, more surprising news, water is wet. More on this at 11.
Seriously though, kids these days are so eager to lick boot and call it rebellion. If you say unalive instead of kill because you'll lose your funding, congratz, you let them censor you. "They'lltake away our revenue!" And? Rebellion comes with consequences, change is a fight, protecting your values comes at a cost.
If you never pull at the leash, it doesn't matter how much you bark, you're still going where they want you to.
What Gen Z slang didn't get from corporations they stole from AAVE so idk if I'd call appropriated language and marketting bullshit punk actually
(to be fair, Millennials also stole from AAE. generations have done that, at this point. but Censorship Slang is still decidedly Not Great)
All valid points but can we just circle back to the "grippy socks hospital visit" comment.
Do the kids not know that you get the grippy socks for ANY in-patient hospital stay???
Like, if you're getting your appendix out they're gonna give you the grippy socks. They're not just for psychiatric care, they're for people who are mobile but can't necessarily bend down to put on slippers to get around.
don't care if i haven't read about your ocs. don't care if i don't know them by name. i still love them because you've put your heart and soul into creating them and that's beautiful
i think it is precious to see writers lovingly rant about their characters, regardless if others know about them or not. please be unapologetically loud about your ocs
'you have x many followers' those r cadavers girl. corpses. abandoned vessels of blogs who once were. its the apocalypse in there. its me and my 5 mutuals against the world.
the thing that gets me about about barbie is that barbie land wasn’t even purposefully a matriarchy, barbie land came about because of the way little girls were playing with their barbies, it wasn’t created by mattel it was created by the people using the toys, so the fact that the barbies ignored the ken’s and had girls night every night wasn’t because they had some bias against him, it was just an accurate depiction of how kids play with barbies. I had some ken dolls as a child and they were essential to the plot in the sense that of course my barbie has a boyfriend because that represented the world i saw around me, but also he didn’t have any purpose in my dream world because i was only interested in what the girls were doing because they represented me and how i wanted to be, I wanted girls night every night I wanted the girls to be president and austronauts and not because of some inherent feminist idea but because I was a girl and I wasn’t thinking about boys, ken was an accessory. this movie wasn’t made to change the world but it showed a different perspective than what we usually see which I thought was fun. Men don’t have to be the centre of all our stories and its not even because we hate them, sometimes we’re just not thinking about them
