“The axe forgets, but the tree remembers.”

This is a huge thing ESPECIALLY with kids. To the parent, they lashed out when they were mad and forgot about it, expecting the kid to forget too. To the kid? It was a big moment that defined your relationship with your parents. Stuff my parents don’t remember doing or saying were things that to me spoke very, very loudly, that I was not safe to be open and honest with my parents.

The axe forgets, but the tree remembers, indeed.

What was that saying? To me it was the most traumatic moment of my life and to you it was a Tuesday

idk if this is a young fan thing or new fandom culture but some of yall think fics are abandoned way too quickly. a few months or a year or two is not unusual to go without a fic update. sometimes fics take longer to write, other times writers have rl events, or maybe there's multiple fics and one gets more priority. there are tons of reasons for fics not to be updated every week or every month. it also isn't uncommon for people to come back and update fics after a number of years—ive read updates that took five, or ten years. people's lives change, but they still want to tell their stories. personally, i never consider a fic abandoned unless the author has said so; though if it's been a few years i manage my expectations. but a last update being a year ago is... generally not a sign that a writer has abandoned their fic

That! Exactly that!!! Writers have lives and writing is hard! It takes time. Stop assuming fics are abandoned!

Original fic usually goes through this same process before being commercially published. Readers just don't know that bc they aren't receiving it in bite-size chunks online. Large periods of stagnant writing are historically just another Monday for most writers.

If plankton really wanted to steal the krabby patty formula he should have just shown up with a Glock and taken it. What's Spongeboy and Krab man gonna do about it? Suck the tip?

Not Yelling At Children is Better Than Yelling At Children, More At 11

honestly annoyed by the argument that the only reason it's okay for straight/cis people to create media about lgbt people/play lgbt characters is because they might be closeted or questioning or whatever. it's weirdly self-othering to imply that your existence is so foreign that the majority of society wouldn't be able to depict it in any way worth doing, but some of them might just be temporarily unaware that they're actually part of the outgroup so we might as well let them. the quality of a piece of media and its capacity to be handled badly or end up outright offensive is not inherently tied to whether or not the people that make it match 1:1 with its content.

Kurt Vonnegut wrote: “When I was 15, I spent a month working on an archeological dig. I was talking to one of the archeologists one day during our lunch break and he asked those kinds of “getting to know you” questions you ask young people: Do you play sports? What’s your favorite subject? And I told him, no I don’t play any sports. I do theater, I’m in choir, I play the violin and piano, I used to take art classes.

And he went WOW. That’s amazing! And I said, “Oh no, but I’m not any good at ANY of them.”

And he said something then that I will never forget and which absolutely blew my mind because no one had ever said anything like it to me before: “I don’t think being good at things is the point of doing them. I think you’ve got all these wonderful experiences with different skills, and that all teaches you things and makes you an interesting person, no matter how well you do them.”

And that honestly changed my life. Because I went from a failure, someone who hadn’t been talented enough at anything to excel, to someone who did things because I enjoyed them. I had been raised in such an achievement-oriented environment, so inundated with the myth of Talent, that I thought it was only worth doing things if you could “Win” at them.”

yes, I'm so into fate rn

A new interview about Bridget happened and apparently her outfit was explicitly designed to relieve her dysphoria. I don't think I've ever heard of trans rep that went as far as considering what the character would be dysphoric about and how they would accommodate it. I'm impressed

princess bubblegum is honestly one of most unique tv characters, apart from the fact that she’s a piece of gum who spends her free time committing unethical experiments on her subordinates, her storyline across all season is just like. her becoming less evil. not even like a full redemption arc, like she needed ten seasons to understand that being an authoritarian dictator is bad but like, she never actually stopped being a dictator yk. she just needed this much time to be like maybe I should commit less war crimes. maybe I should count to ten before defying god and creating life. and she has no tragic villain origin story, like they did kind of gave her that with her uncle and stuff betraying her but also, she’s always been kind of like this, like she’s always been prone to playing god with the concept of existence. if you think about it princess bubblegum could be a fucking batman villain

we need another ps2. the children of today don’t understand what a game console could be anymore

this isn’t a gag either. modern consoles simply do not follow the same style or ethos of the ps2 at all. the switch is what id consider the closest atm but its still a ways off. a large part of the modern gaming space is remakes/rereleases of older stuff (which was present on the ps2 as well), but the strength of the ps2 came in the sheer quantity and quality of its library of new releases.

have you ever looked through the ps2 library? just sat down and read through it? in terms of genre, length, rating, everything, it is COMICALLY diverse. you’ll find racing games next to a tactical rpg crossed with a board game crossed with a card game, and then flip to the next page to find horror games spanning 20 different genres. it’s the kind of creative liberation that only exists in indie circles now. games made for console to be marketed for console are meant to hit specific niches and they know it and will design accordingly (a lot of indie games do this as well). games will even pick which console to release on based on this!

the ps2 was simply the place you released your video game. whatever it was. easy to develop for, huge install base, who cares. people will buy it just make whatever banger you want

…also it was a better dvd player than most on the market at the time

i wish superpowers were real because then you'd get people making posts like "some people need to get real hobbies and stop making identical illusionary clones of themselves that your fist passes through like smoke when you go to punch them :/" and know exactly who the OP was talking about

i also don't wish superpowers were real because i would be so pissed if i replied "mad because you fell for the illusion aren't you" and some guy with teleportation powers grabbed me and teleported me to the middle of the desert for ratioing him on twitter

gun to your head, you HAVE to make an R-rated scooby doo movie. What do you do
