Hey, I'm Alannaa. This is my blog.
I write shit, and like shit. Feel free to explore.
Infinite love and thanks to thegrinningcrow for my color scheme, icon, and header image!
I track the tag #ficcyshit, if you want to catch my attention.

Just because you did something wrong in the past doesn’t mean you can’t advocate against it now. It doesn’t make you a hypocrite. You just grew. Don’t let people use your past to invalidate your current mindset.

Bruh. This needs to be a mandatory post on everybody’s blog. Y'all really be pullin out decade old receipts like woah.

when the marauders find out remus is a werewolf

Remus: You don't hate me? But... I'm a werewolf.
James: Remus. See this arm? It's actually shorter than my other arm but you can't really tell. Especially when I twirl like this.
Peter: I'm lactose intolerant.
Sirius: I'm OBNOXIOUS!

holy shit. tumblr staff deciding to roll out and approve fucking dave chappelle ads during a time when most of their userbase suspects theres some reaally weird terf complacent shit going on behind the scenes …. that is uh. Certainly A Choice

i feel like we’re at a point where tumblr staff allowing transphobic shitbags to run rampant on their platform can no longer be excused by just saying “oh it’s just mismanagement” or “oh it’s just the algorithm”. maybe you could’ve justified trans people’s ‘based on your likes’ being regularly filled with nothing but anti-trans rhetoric by ‘the algorithm messing up’ and it’s a BIG stretch but maybe you could justify staff allowing users anti-trans hate speech posts to be paid to be shown to as many people as possible as just ‘it slipping through the cracks’. but now we’re at a point where tumblr is approving ads for VERY notable transphobic comedians to take up someone’s ENTIRE fucking phone screen. like. this is the most blatant confirmation there is to me that there’s some weird terf shit happening with tumblr staff. how on earth could you ignore this. it’s almost funny how blatant this is at this point.

on June 3rd i saw this post on my dash, with every single gif removed for ‘violating community guidelines’. reading through the caption and notes, and just two weeks after another r*cky gerv*is “comedy” special was released on netflix, it was pretty obvious that the original post was gifs of this bit:

it’s a comedian making jokes about lazy bigoted comedians like ricky gervais. this was the content so heinous that not a single gif could stay up on this site. what community guidelines were broken here? was james bullying ricky fucking gervais?? there’s not even a curse here so it can’t be language. or are you no longer allowed to call transph*bes what they are?

many sites (like twitter and instagram) are now banning words like “tr*nsph*be/tr*nsph*bia/tr*nsph*bic” but they don’t even show up in this gif set. is transgender a bad word now? are we allowed to say ‘transgender people’ and ‘little cis boy’ on tumblr or will our posts be taken down?

i wish i could go back and get more information but not only were all the gifs taken down, the original post no longer exists. they have completely erased it.

big fan of polite and minimal explanations when you need to get out of work, school, plans etc. just a definitive ‘sorry but I can’t make it today.’ and then if they press for details or are rude about it say ‘sorry, something came up. thanks for understanding’ i’m over the idea that you have to exaggerate/overexplain your situation even when you don’t want to do that to be worthy of flexibility and grace in your life

The “thanks for understanding” is a power move, too, because then if they keep pressing it’s like implying that they’re NOT being understanding.

writing tip:

if you push buttons on a keyboard, letters will appear on the screen. and with that power you can do anything

Oh boy!! It’s a fucking mystery?? A spooky scary mystery!! Better get fucking Sherlock Holmes on this one! It’s a big fucking mystery, with no obvious answer!

This is not a Sherlock Holmes mystery. This is a Scooby-Doo mystery, where the villain is an old white guy pulling a real estate / inheritance scam.
