Jesus Christ returning from the dead: "You know what's weird? Drunk driving gets you into Valhalla. It's a huge problem tbh, they're trying to fix it."

The qorldbuilding implications here fascinate me. Please explain this pantheism version of the world to me in great detail for me to project on every qork Rick Riordan has ever spoken.

1. If a werewolf has locked onto your scent, it is best to let them get as much of it as they can. If they are in shifted form, it might mean a wet nose to your face or a tongue in your hair. Fear not! They are, in a way, like a large dog, if a large dog were capable of human wants and whims. If you find yourself in such a position, do not move! Let the werewolf finish its scent-marking. It could take anywhere from five minutes to six days, so get comfortable!

2. Should you find yourself in possession of a dead animal left upon your doorstep, don’t scream and/or vomit! Chances are, it is from the same werewolf who sniffed you, wanting to make sure you are provided for. This is how a lycanthrope expresses interest. Be careful not to offend the wolf, as they might be watching from behind a tree or a bush. If you are averse to blood and gore, pretend someone dropped a cherry pie filled with bones on your porch.

(On the off chance that the dead animal was left by a cult and not a werewolf, please be prepared in case you are marked for a ritual sacrifice.)

3. Going on a date with a werewolf can be a fun event! Given that you might be in public, it would be best not to ask your werewolf suitor to “shift in the middle of an Applebee’s just to see if it scares the server into giving free appetizers.” While many people enjoy mozzarella sticks (especially when given under threat of fangs), using your werewolf in such a way to get fried cheese is considered bad form. Your werewolf has feelings, and no one likes to be used.

(If your werewolf does shift to get you cheese, reward them by telling them you think they are the greatest creature in existence. Positive reinforcement goes a long way!)

4. Uh oh. Your werewolf has driven you home, arches a single, devastating eyebrow, and says, “Are you going to invite me inside?”

Remember, werewolves aren’t vampires, meaning they do not need permission to enter your residence. However, good wolves always wait for permission before entering a dwelling that is not their own.

In this case, given the arched eyebrow, the werewolf is hoping to be invited inside for “adult activities.” This might include rolling on the carpet or having sex in the kitchen and/or up against a wall. If you choose to do this, you might see the werewolf’s eyes flashing. Good news! This means the wolf is having a wonderful time.

5. Your wolf stayed the night! How lucky are you? If you wake up the next morning with the shifter lying on top of you, it is very important that you do not move until they have decided to move on their own. Waking up a sleeping wolf can sometimes be difficult work, but if you keep a squeaky ball next to your bed, now is the time to put it to good use. Squeeze it near the wolf’s ear and ask, “Who’s a good boy? Who wants to play with the ball? Is it you? Is it you?” Your wolf will most likely glower at you and threaten your life, but if you squeeze the ball three times, the wolf will be distracted. Throw it to the floor, and as the wolf chases after it, consider making waffles! Werewolves love waffles.

(God help you if you make pancakes. You have been warned.)

If you have survived these first five steps, you are to be commended! That means you most likely will have a werewolf for the rest of your life. A werewolf is a commitment. Adopt, don’t shop!

The weird mix of pet, lover, and threat to ones life about this fascinates me.

Standing at the top of the stair well wearing my bunk mates clothes to scare him at the abandoned factory sleepover after our scary "Clone vat" movie watch party but I forgot he put a curse on his clothing to act like puppies when ever they see him so they rip themselves off my body and bound down the stairs to greet him and start barking and im just naked at the top of the stairs and afraiud and embarased and but instead of being angry he steps up to me and stwrts to. .. .... we start kissinf

I wish this post was one time I dreamed. I was so disappointed this was consciously made by a human being. Pls, atop posting.

Make me .Loser

Bsusgajwisgqivessjve maybe I will huh!!!

Idk how to phrase it exactly I feel like there comes a point for all trans women where for a lot of us we essentially have to decide to be in community with other trans women. Like i have been out as a trans woman for years and been around and friends with the few other transfems around me for even longer, but it was almost like the culture of the queer spaces on and offline was structured it was much easier for a lot of us to stay isolated than to unite as a group. Like not just to be friends who know each other but to like form our own culture in these spaces that still feels like a distinct part of the whole.

Like i had to make the conscious decision, far more recently than I'd like, to like prioritize transfems and transfem culture and identity. Making friends with more transfems, seeking out and loving the art we make, reading and talking to each other's ideas on our identity and our oppression as transfems. It was never something that came natural to me or was made easy by the tme dominated spaces. And I'm not joking making that decision is right up there with transitioning as one of the best decisions I've ever made.

so SAG-AFTRA finally released some official guidance for fans, viewers, creators/influencers, critics, and more during the strike. here's what you need to know:

  1. if you see a publication/news source/journalist talking about a piece of struck work, that's ok. they're allowed to do that.

2. they're asking regular viewers and fans to DONATE TO STRIKE FUNDS, SHOW UP TO PICKETS IF YOU CAN, and please do NOT boycott streaming services or movies in theaters.

3. influencers, content creators, cosplayers, and anything in between is still a bit of a grey area, but they're asking people to use their best judgement. "organically" means UNPAID promo (like an invite to a premiere without being paid, being sent a publicity box, letting the company's social media post a photo of you in cosplay, etc).

obviously this doesn't answer every question, and isn't hard and fast rules for fanworks, but it can at least inform how you personally choose to move forward when posting online and moving publically. i hope this helps!

RED FUCKING ALERT today’s lecture is on the 19th century “woman question” and the self-identified devil’s advocate just told us she has “unpopular options” on this topic

girl help the jane austen girlies are defending the angel of the home

"Think of the two major possibilities here: Either the studios owe untold millions to their talents and paying it out will decimate their stock prices, or they owe so little because there really is no money in streaming and the bubble of their entire 21st century business model will burst in spectacular fashion. And make no mistake: this is a bubble. This is the inevitable climax of a stockholder-driven hunger for infinite growth, despite the fact that, by design, such a thing cannot and should not exist. The infection of Wall Street has overwhelmed the entertainment industry beyond repair, leading to cultural vandals like David Zaslav to be appointed with the callous duty of strip-mining decades’ of artistic beauty for pennies of tax write-offs. The past and future are frivolous in comparison to the short-term demands that the line keep going up."

One precious tag was "there just isn't any money in the internet" and like... Yeah.

The internet, to me, is like roads, tunnels, bridges or rail. It's the infrastructure by which commerce and exchange happens but a road is never going to "pay for itself" in the manner that capitalists conceive of value generation. The internet and most websites can't be commodities, and even if you plaster ads everywhere a website doesn't really generate value in itself. It's a place to sell things or even services but the website is a framework in which those things are held.

Infrastructure is, taken in the sort of worldview capitalists work with, a money sink. Every good it provides is an abstract value, the road doesn't earn money, it facilitates taxable trade. The return on investment is nebulous and hard to see on a balance sheet.

When the .com bubble burst, you'd think people would've worked it out, but web 2.0 still happened.

When my kiddo finally decided (at age 20) that it was time for (most of) his enormous Lego collection to go, it was a gut-wrenching moment for me (goodbye childhood!). However, we used this service, which was simple and hassle-free.

This is wonderful to know.
