Smut fic on AO3 always seems to have a way lower kudos to hits ratio than non-smut fic; because a larger percentage of people reading feel ashamed to attach their screen name to a kudos on an adult fic.
Which is a shame, really.
If you’re posting smut, never let yourself be disappointed in the number of kudos.
hate when ppl on this site see other ppl making lighthearted jokes about media and go “wow you guys are so cringe and lame, you know the media isnt ACTUALLY like that, right?”
like yeah. we know. we know breaking bad isn’t about transgender jessie pinkman. that’s the whole joke, buddy. we know.
we need a cuteness aggression equivalent term for when you see art of your favorite character you like so much that you sincerely cannot think of anything to put in the tags that isnt “im going to start biting off my own fingers”
if you’re aware of the Vulture article on Neil Gaiman, there’s not much i can add; if you aren’t and you go looking, my only advice is that if you hit a point where you’re wondering if you should bail, do so, because the details of his behavior only get more vile as it goes along.
however, one thing i WILL say is to be on the lookout for smear campaigns against the sources and/or the journalist, Lila Shapiro, in the coming weeks and months. i cannot stress enough how brave this article is. if there’s one thing more hazardous to your reputation than blowing up a rich and influential serial predator in the entertainment industry, it’s making the church of scientology look bad, and she’s managed to do both in one stroke. remember Lila Shapiro’s name, and be extremely skeptical if it suddenly turns up later this year as the target of some slimy allegation.
I saw some James Webb Telescope scientists give a talk and one of them said this was her favorite image because she had waited and worked 25 years to see this.
[Begin ID. Image 1. Tweet by Latest in space (@ latestinspace) on September 21, 2022 at 9:34 AM. James Webb telescope just dropped its latest image, Neptune, and its rings.
The other two images are from the post’s attachments.
Image 2. Outer space with colorful stars and galaxies. Neptune is far away, yet close enough that it’s rings are visible. The planet is a shining purplish white.
Image 3. Closeup of Neptune. It glows brightly against the black of space. Neptune is pale lavender. It has bands of white spots that have a hint of gold. Its five rings are white. Two rings are clearly visible. End ID.]
GET. AI. OUT. OF. FANDOM. Stop making headcanons with it, stop making fanfic with it, stop making fanart with it. If I see one more “asking chatgpt *blank* about *character/characters in a fandom* I’m going to lose my goddamn mind. Use your own fucking brain, stop asking AI to do everything. You could even ask other real people what they think. Just. Stop. Using. AI. In. Creative. Spaces.
for headcanons just use a random headcanon generator or something
Or
Get this
Use your *head* to *make up* headcanons just like you’re supposed to.
yeah i meant if you’re completely stuck. but if you can just think of you’re own
If you are completely stuck ask another person
that too
i think @the-rodgud meant was more like the ones with a million pre written ones and it’s randomly chosen:p
If I see one more naive white queer speaking over actual Chinese queers people and proclaiming xiaohongshu/rednote or even China in general is somehow a fucking wonderland incapable of violent bigotry I’m gonna explode
1) a lot of the queer related tags have suddenly become usable again after the great migration
2) the #le tag for lesbians literally comes from the #lesbian and #les tags being banned so to act
3) the welcome you’re receiving by chinese people isn’t what actual Chinese queers have experienced (we experience a bombardment of loud angry homophobes/transphobes every single fucking day) and every single Chinese queer I know has been ranting about this for days. Unfortunately a lot of people are hypocrites who are only nice to the guests in the house
4) not only is this rhetoric of don’t ask don’t tell being the main consensus in China FALSE (I don’t even want to get into the media’s suppression of hate crimes and how many queer activism accounts are being banned left and right), passive queerphobia is still FUCKING QUEERPHOBIA…
The audacity to come into OUR HOUSE and speak over us after 3 days of being pampered on this app just for being western is vile and so fucking demoralising because we’ve been yelling about our condition for so long and you guys would rather not miss out on social media brainrot than to actually apply some nuance for once… you guys wanted to distance from the sinophobic propaganda take of China being unequivocally evil so bad that you’ve swung to the other end
It recently became department policy to purchase all our animal care supplies online and have them shipped, but my work location (public park) doesn’t have a mailbox, so we’ve been getting things shipped directly to the post office. Today I went to pick up a shipment of several hundred superworms but the postal workers are insisting that it’s not possible to have packages shipped directly to the post office. I gave them a tracking number which revealed they were delivered a couple days ago and now they’re looking for them. Somewhere in the post office are 500 lost worms.
I can’t believe the post office lost my worms
Update: they found my worms!!!!

The postal worker put these in front of me like she was delivering a bomb.
Honestly I can’t blame the postal worker; my advisor lost his grub ordering privileges after he failed to pick up a delivery from the front desk on time and they all hatched and escaped.
They told me not to have live bugs designated as Hold For Pickup anymore :(

I’m sorry you lost your 2,000 crickets but knowing the thief probably unleashed thousands of crickets inside their house or car is the kind of thing everyone who’s had a package stolen dreams of.
fun thing about herding and/or generally neurotic breeds: they are really good at following rules you have instituted, but they will also make their own Dog Rules they will follow stringently whether or not you like it
despite never being reprimanded for getting sick if my dog throws up she will ‘tattle’ on herself and run over to me, show me the throw up, then hide and start shaking uncontrollably. nobody taught her to do this. she has decided that throwing up is a punishable offense until the end of time
my dog has decided that it’s solely on her shoulders to ensure there is peace in my house…if the cats fight she stands between them to ‘break it up’ and/or herds them away, if my rats have an argument she goes to the cage door and barks until they stop. not sure why she has decided she must carry the weight of the world but she has
The fact that “Elon musk does two Nazi salutes” isn’t blowing up my push notifications is the best example I could possibly give of the media’s failure to do fucking anything
Very bold of PBS to call it like it is on Twitter of all places
Their instagram post said to share this, so please spread this around so that families who’ve lost everything can receive just a little bit more hope in their lives 🥺
this could actually really help the morale of the people over there. People often underestimate how much of the damage caused by fires is emotional (as opposed to purely financial). Comforting blankets, photos, books, stuffed animals, all the familiar things children and even parents derive a sense of security and comfort from ripped away from them for no good reason. this may not be much, but getting a kid a little stuffed animal to hug while his parents try to find a place to live… the emotional benefit is enormous. And if they aren’t able to find a place to live, this might be all they have for a long time.
Love is an observable force, evil is an illness to be cured, light will pour from the sun long after we need it, I have a gun and I swear to GOD I’m not fucking around

“We are fortunate that President Trump has indicated that he will work with us on a solution to reinstate TikTok once he takes office. Please stay tuned!”
what do you mean elon musk did a nazi salute on live tv at the united states presidential inauguration twice and is now erasing the evidence off the internet by replacing the footage with the crowd cheering instead?
would be a shame if people reblogged this, wouldn’t it?
i would not even be half as pressed about people saying like “pdf file” “cheese pizza” “grape” if there weren’t like Actual Alternatives that don’t sound stupid. Like we have acronyms use the acronyms just say SA or CP or Assault or Predator it is free and easy to avoid using fucking can haz cheezburger words in your online psa about serious topics
was watching a video a few months back abt someone talking abt the plot of mouthwashing (game that deals w very heavy topics of SA and such)(good game highly recommend) and they fukcing said the words “schmexual assault” out loud with their actual vocal chords and I had to click off the video becuoase I could feel myself animorphijg into a rabid chimp
why would you like media that is good if you can like media that is bad instead and pace around your room like an insane person thinking about What If It Was Good
Ain’t no way Trump just said the government would establish two genders: male and female, in his inauguration speech, and people are still trying to say that queer folks have no need to be scared 😭 fucking losing it
