just so you know, you have some followers who enjoy/write fanfiction. not saying their urls rn bc i don’t wanna air out dirty laundry in public but if you want them so you can block and report, just say the word and i’ll dm you a list
BRO?
Reblog if you're self indulgent and perverted lmao
Fanfic is not inherently degrading to the original art. The idea of "fanfiction" is a relatively new one; the idea of "I heard a story and I liked the characters but I want them to do something else/wish the story had ended differently/want them all naked" is as old as humanity. Shakespeare, Dante, the Arthurian legends, big chunks of Greek mythology, much of the Bible, it's all fanfic, one way or another.
And does this person really think authors of original work don't write it because they enjoy fantasizing about certain concepts and characters? You can figure out a lot about various authors' kinks by looking at their work. Just saying.
A daunting number of people seem to have taken "you can figure out a lot about various authors' kinks by looking at their work" as me somehow endorsing the worryingly puritanical take of the original ask. And like...if you can read my oeuvre and not figure out that I have a thing for mermaids, dramatic reunions, found family, and overly complex problems being resolved by thirty seconds of communication, I don't know how I can help you.
was browsing around randomly on Goodreads looking over recent activity on lists and that's how I find out that authors are writing original Omegaverse fiction
I know most of y'all probably think of harlequins and 50 Shades when you think "romance" genre, but damn there's a lot of monsterfuckers in there these days
we've grown past the days of lusting after cowboys and vampires...now, women want orcs.
and there really is an orc romance for every taste...
...including some really, really specific ones...

Reddit CEO Steve Huffman said Thursday that he wants to bring an end to a user-led protest that has made large parts of the influential website inaccessible this week. Huffman said in an interview that he plans to institute rules changes that would allow Reddit users to vote out moderators who have overseen the protest, comparing them to a “landed gentry.”
Deep in the article, there’s this nugget:
“I would like subreddits to be able to be businesses if they choose,” he said, adding that’s “another conversation, but I think that’s the next frontier of Reddit.”
When people say “fuck u/spez,” this is Spez. I do not have the sort of imagination that can readily convert the way Reddit communities currently work to “businesses.”
This sounds like making Tumblr the new PDF

just saw a chart with the gender options "male" "female" and "part-time/other" and i think i get what they were going for but i'm obsessed with the concept of part-time gender. clocking into my shift at the gender factory and brother i am not getting paid a living wage
Oh no, that's awful! Wolf attacks are so rare, I wonder what happened?
Oh...
Imagine seeing a wolf pack hunting right in front of you and your reaction is to be all "Oh no le waah le waah I do not vant to see zis!!" Instead of "Holy fucking sheet, that is zee coolést thing I have evéur seen in my entiéure life"
people saying they feel bad about reporting the new pornbots because the URLs are so good. i dont. i want to report them even harder. the URL pointless-soap needs to be liberated and reappropriated by the people
GUESS WHO'S FREE MOTHERFUCKERS
ruh roh, it gets worse
I’m not a Redditor so I could be wrong. But this looks pretty fucking bad
scab behavior
no, that'd be if the moderators were opening the subreddits by themselves. this is the equivalent of dragging a union member across the picket line and forcing them to work, which is arguably worse.
strikebreaker behavior. they've shot those mods and dumped their bodies in the river
already reblogged but it got worse. if anyone would like to delete their reddit account, https://github.com/j0be/PowerDeleteSuite will allow you to delete all your posts and delete/overwrite all your past comments. this shit is unbelievable.
at the risk of incurring discourse
don’t? raze and pave reddit?
like, yes, support the protests and all, don’t add to it until demands are met, i’m there for that.
but as is often noted throughout the internet, we are desperately running out functional, niche communities to coalesce and curate knowledge where it can be freely accessed. most forums have fade, people have drifted to discord.
reddit is where you can go to find out information for that new hobby, get local knowledge, find peer-reviewed opinions on various products without worry about who paid off the author. and you can get to that stuff (mostly) without having to sign up for anything or giving your email.
if you delete your reddit contributions, knowledge will be lost and corporations control over internet will grow tighter as google results bring you ads and sanitized, sponsor approved listcles about the ten best gunpla tools for beginners (or whatever you’re trying to look into).
please do not burn the forums we have left.
Weibo article that dives into the origin of the trend and provides a perspective from the other side:
一块吐司，几片芝士，加上一些生菜或水果，一股“清心寡欲”风扑面而来。而这简单无味的搭配，正是一些外国人的正常午餐。
"A slice of bread, a piece of cheese, piece of raw vegetable or fruit: you're blasted by a cleansing gust of ascetic wind. This simple and flavorless pairing is actually the everyday lunch of some foreigners."
Image text: "White people food"
中国网友还给这样的饮食方式起了一个名，叫做”白人饭“（white people food）。所谓的白人饭特点就是，“冷的“、”素的”、”分量少的“，基本上就是”花最少的功夫准备，仅仅能维系基本器官正常运作“的食物（require the least amount of effort to substain vital signs）。
"Chinese netizens have given this cuisine a name, '白人饭' (white people food). "The characteristics of so-called white people food are 'cold,' 'vegetarian,' 'small portions,' and truly 'requiring the least amount of effort to sustain vital signs' food."
也就是说，白人饭的食材都是那种能生吃就绝不开锅，调味料单一，不是盐和黑胡椒，就是能够直接添加的蛋黄酱或番茄酱。一开始，白人饭这个梗是由住在国外的中国网友传起来的。起因是因为他们在社交媒体上晒出了自己的白人同事带的午餐——几根生胡萝卜和一些生菠菜。
"In other words, white people's food is the kind that doesn't involve cooking, with just one kind of seasoning, if not salt and pepper, then just the direct addition of mayonnaise or ketchup. "Originally, the concept of white people food started with Chinese netizens living overseas. It was because they used social media to expose their white coworkers' lunches — a few carrots and some raw spinach."
OP's tweet reads: "This is my coworker's lunch. A few carrots and some spinach. They already have the ability to produce their own energy without eating food."
Comment 1: "I think since they like suntanning so much, they must be using photosynthesis"
Comment 2: "They depend on therapists to keep them alive"
不知真相围观的群众可能还会误以为这是刚刚洗好准备切和下锅的食材.... 而习惯了“午饭也要吃热饭热菜”的中国网友们在看到自己的白人同事午饭居然吃这个，都感到不可思议。
"Unknowing spectators may mistakenly think that these are freshly washed vegetables about to be chopped and cooked. While Chinese netizens, accustomed to 'lunch means a hot meal', view their white coworkers' lunches as unimaginable."
OP's tweet reads: "My Danish coworker brought something new again. No spinach today, just two carrots and a pepper. They're evolving."
Comment: "Why do they eat like they're putting gas in their cars. Pour it in to be able to go"
OP's tweet reads: "my coworkers lunch is a whole cauliflower! First time I've seen a whole cauliflower eaten with a knife and fork after being cooked. He was even surprised that I'd never seen that before. These people haven't lived"
OP's tweet reads: "The simplicity of Australian white people food. Everyone knows that Australian white people food is super simple, but when I saw my coworker's lunch I was still shocked. Mushrooms from the supermarket, straight from the box, added directly to a wrap. I asked him whether mushrooms can be eaten raw. He said he'd been eating them raw for years and was doing fine."
Comment: "Pretty normal. They even eat green beans raw. 20 years ago, the people at my bro's place even ate yuanxiao [glutinous rice dough dumplings] uncooked. Anyways, I feel like foreigners don't like eating food unless they're about to starve. If they could live on alcohol, they definitely wouldn't eat at all"
Image text: "Lunch: a head of raw lettuce wrapped around some ham with mustard drizzled on top"
OP's tweet reads: "I guess I've seen the pinnacle of white people food today. The locals always come up with new moves to surprise me"
而反过来，海外的中国网友只是把自己一份普通的午饭带到公司加热，都会引起外国同事的围观和震惊。
"On the other hand, Chinese people living overseas only have to heat up in a normal lunch at the office to invoke the shock and awe of their foreign coworkers."
OP's tweet reads: "Re: about my lunch shocking my white coworkers. Everyone knows that white people don't have taste buds, they only eat to stay alive. "Coworker A: porridges. Oats + honey + milk + salt + microwave for 3 min. "Coworker B: some kind of canned rice + canned tuna, microwave for 2 min. "Coworker C: pita bread with dip; with a couple of cherry tomatoes/cucumber. "Coworker D: mini pizza: base + sauce + cheese, baked "I've been here for most of one year, these guys eat the same thing every day. But today was different, today everyone brought food, a boxed proper meal: pasta. But I'm the undefeated mystical Oriental lady, made a whole table [of food] appear in the blink of an eye."
在国内，午饭要吃饱这个概念早已深入人心，而且习惯每顿都要吃米饭面条等主食。但在欧美国家，他们的午饭一般都会吃得比较简单清淡，而且他们也没有午觉的习惯，所以吃得清淡也有助于集中精力，不容易犯困，而且也比较省时间。所以这样饮食差异也给网友们带来了文化冲击。 更有趣的是，最近“白人饭”这个词已经从一个梗变成了大家纷纷效仿的饮食方式，网友还开始各种钻研白人饭，表示仿佛打开了新世界的大门。
"In China, the concept of a filling lunch is deeply ingrained in people's minds, as well as the habit of having a staple of rice or noodles etc. with every meal. But in Europe and the US, lunches are usually simple and light, and they don't have the custom of taking a siesta, so eating lightly helps maintain focus, prevent drowsiness, and save time. And so, these dietary differences have led to culture shock. "What's more interesting is, recently the phrase 'white people food' has spread to become a style of cuisine that everyone is imitating. Netizens have begun a deep dive into all different kinds of white people food. It's like a door has been opened into a new world."
OP's tweet reads: "After entering a state of 'eating to stay alive', I found out white people food is actually good. Ate the same thing every day and didn't puke. I just play on my phone a bit and the food is ready. It's sustenance, that's all."
Commenter: "After you give up on the pursuit of flavor, the world will open up to you. Cold vegetables + chicken breast are so good."
随着这个梗的火热，“白人饭”在国内出圈的事情，居然还传到外网去了。而国外网友的反应也是够逗的。一位网友在推特上发推表示，
Following this trend going viral, "white people food" got spread to the foreign web. Foreign netizens' reactions were too funny. One user tweets:
而外国网友不但没有感到被冒犯，反而是早已接受了“白人饭”这个设定，甚至有时候连自己都忍不住吐槽。 "Not only were foreigners not offended, they've long since accepted the designation of "white people food", even going so far as to mock it themselves.
而听说中国网友也兴起了吃白人饭之后，白人网友也不吝赐教，开始分享地道的白人饭做法。
"After hearing about Chinese interest in white people food, white people didn't hesitate to offer instruction and started sharing recipes for authentic white people food."
Additional context:
- The reactions are partially because raw veggies are a terrible lunch, but also because vegetables in Chinese cuisine are almost always eaten fully cooked, due to food safety and culinary tradition. Raw vegetables are for livestock and Westerners.
- the Chinese tweets in the article which have location tags are all tagged with non-American countries (Switzerland, England, Germany, Denmark, and multiple from Australia). There's no "it's just the Americans"-ing your way out of this one.
A lot of focus on Phoenix becoming a defense attorney for Miles and not nearly enough about him becoming a defense attorney after his life was saved by one.
I feel like that gets overlooked so much in the fandom, how much his experience being a defendant shaped his own career as an attorney, how Mia literally saved his life even when she was obviously doubting that he was innocent and how that’s probably the same reason he fights like hell for every single one of his clients. He knows why his clients lie and hide things out of fear because he did the same thing. He knows why his clients act flippant because he acted the same way. He knows why his clients do stupid shit that ends up hurting their case because he literally ate poisoned glass.
I think Phoenix wants so desperately to be to his clients what Mia was to him, the one person in the world who is 100% on their side, the person who’s willing to fight tooth and nail even when they’ve already given up.

Hi! I’d like to clarify something about the accreditation of this comic.
It’s by Matthew Inman, and you can find the original comic at his blog, “The Oatmeal”, and I’m posting it below as well.
If you're new to tumblr from reddit, we don't do down vote here.
We have a much more …elegant system in place, which I’m sure one of my mutuals would be willing to demonstrate here.
“It’s the latest example of a social media site making a critical mistake: users aren’t there for the services, they’re there for the community. Building barriers to access is a war of attrition.”
So, I finished compiling the season one suspicious audio. It is too large for tumblr so have my favorite snippet and a link to the folder. Thank you @samglyph for the idea!
It has each episode's clips and the full season.
