I am setting up a proper patreon and will be posting my original stories there. Most fanfiction will still be here and free, but original works are going to be on there.
I'll put the first chapters of original works on here with a link to my patreon and I'll be sure to add the link to fanfiction I post as well.
I'll be updating this post as time goes on.
are mrs spink and forcible a lesbian couple?
Miss Spink and Miss Forcible. They are a couple, yes.
As Stephin Merritt had them sing, in the 2009 musical
"I am Miss Spink--" "And I am Miss Forcible--"
"Elderly thespians fallen from grace--"
"We never married so we're undivorceable--"
"Tripping on clippings all over the place."
So, this is page 18 of a recent printing of the Italian translation of Coraline (actually the second page of the actual book, after the Preface).
The underlined part says, literally, “both I and my sister Forcible were famous actresses, in our time.”
I read Coraline in English way back when and had always assumed they were a couple. I just came across this translation today at my parents’ and was taken aback, thinking I probably got it wrong at the time.
So I checked the English text and GUESS WHAT. I didn’t get it wrong. The original sentence reads, “both myself and Miss Forcible were famous actresses, in our time.” The translator decided Miss Spink and Miss Forcible must be sisters and, to this end, added a word that wasn’t there.
As a literary translator, queer person, and Neil Gaiman fan, I could write much (MUCH) more about this but honestly? I haven’t felt this furious in a long time, and I wouldn’t be too eloquent, I guess.
Honestly the best bit about this whole answer-storm is it's reminded me to talk to my agent about the Italian edition.
It's not "everyone" acting like it's normal. The majority of people know something's wrong they just don't have the tools to fix it. Maybe a plurality don't know that the problem is capitalism, they blame it on something else, but they're still aware there's a problem. "Everyone" is just too exhausted from working 4 jobs, 50 hours a week to scream into the void in their spare time.
guess I gotta pull out this bad boy again huh
there are fewer greater things to motivate the human spirit than spite
Anytime i see a bunch of pride flags i have to restrain myself from saying "where mexico" bc i doubt anyone will know I'm referencing this
Reading comics is constantly like "Here is one of the most fascinating concepts you've ever seen in a piece of media. No we will not elaborate on it and you will never see it reach its full potential. Here is an interesting, new character. Oh now they're dead/rewritten to be less interesting/trapped in a different version of earth to be only mentioned off hand and never seen again. Here is your favorite legacy character: they're currently being written by a misogynist." And then once in a blue moon there's a comic that blows your tits clean off it's executed so well. But it's a limited run.
I'm never going to have coding problems again
you Aregoingto. listen to my problems.
Should go without saying but never date a cop and christ never marry one. Rule of thumb if he's legally untouchable he's ethically unfuckable. You don't like that cop, you like buff men in tight clothing. I can show you more of those, better ones. Take my hand.
burned honey knows what’s up

Yet another bisexual woman going through this.
Watch out. There's chasms out there
Oh wow thank you....I would certainly have fallen to my death without your warning! Are there anything else in the world I should know about
Yeah
I really want people to focus on the "hours later" component. Conservatives and non-voters have been harping about Biden being a do-nothing president, but this is absolutely not the case.
Do not fall for the apathy, do not engage in purism, and do not surrender to despair.
What the fuck is this??????????
And honestly if you can't even write the word rape to protect other people then you probably aren't old/mature enough to be on this website.
