character design tip: get his fucking tits out

Pay heed to Klaudia Amenábar's words! Don't let the executives weaponize fandoms. WGA Strong.

My guys it is starting to work, I've seen some people I know complaining about the writer's strike and turning against them because their favorite shows and/or movie got put on hold. Please do not be fooled like this, this is exactly what the corporations want. It can wait, I promise you will find other things to focus, but writers need this.

Reword every headline they put out. “Due to not wanting to give writers money, Marvel has shut down pre-production on…” You can end this strike any time you want to, pal.

"Marvel too cheap to pay writers, production shuts down"

"Disney too greedy to pay residuals, deletes shows/movies"

"Studios cut corners on safety, production values, writing, acting, etc. in order to make more money; won't share with anyone below CEO level"

This.

100% this.

Love to be on a website where I can join such hit 2022 fandoms as “century old public domain novel being read very slowly” and “half-century old mafia film that does not actually exist.”

Alright, this one is quite the fucking long shot, but to at least throw in an attempt at propaganda:

Kelsier puts the bitch in "I lived, bitch." He both faked his death and resurrection and did both for real. He lives and dies on his own terms.The real life time frame between his death and return was an actual decade. He deliberately sacrificed himself so he can then turn himself into a messianic figure by having a shapeshifter pretend to be him and whip the masses into a riot to avenge him.

Meanwhile, as a ghost he punched god and shit talked him into locking him out of the afterlife because he wanted to fuck with the world more. He then punched god's ex husband for good measure.

Also he temporarily supplanted god for real until his daughter was ready. He's still dead through all of this mind you. Only after kicking around as a ghost for a couple years did he hit up this one kid he knew in life to frankenstein him a new body, where he then fucked off to Antarctica to start a second religion that revolves around him before returning to start an interplanetary mafia when he discovered aliens are real and he wants to get all up in their business.

I love Aang. Phenomenal character. The kid is great but I'm sorry to say but the amount of fucking pizazz Kelsier does with his death and resurrection. Most people don't do much in the period of time between death and return. Kelsier temporarily became god.

Also this doesn't have anything really to do with the topic but Kelsier has a rivalry with an immortal vegan jester and they can't do anything to each other but hiss.

Wine is exactly like omegaverse fanfiction

I was GOING to say. That when you read a wine menu and see something like "notes of leather and wet stone" you think "did an insane person write this its grapes" but after youve read about wine and growing regions and the effect of oak barrels on aging and tasted a bunch of stuff and given it some thought you find yourself taking a sip of french syrah and thinking "mmm little bit of leather on the finish there" and all of a sudden that shits not crazy anymore. Youve been cooked in the soup. Youve been living in the monkey house.

With omegaverse fanfic. You -

You get the idea. Do the work for me. Please

Sorry tanuki fucker 91. I will be clearer. You get coated in the slick

i am jiggling a credit card in the door crack. life is a rich tapestry come take my hand we will weave it together.

googledocs you are getting awfully uppity for something that can’t differentiate between “its” and “it’s” correctly

oho and now you’re questioning my adverb usage? you? you?

you fucking dare?

you try to change ‘tears’ to ‘years’ for no reason but don’t catch ‘imporint’???

hey quick question gdocs

what the fuck

querched up white boy

One of the things I love most about the Stormlight Archive’s main trio is that their vibes and attitudes are in almost total contrast.

Like, to look at them, one is a sweet-looking blonde guy with a huge smile, and his cute redheaded wife who’s always making jokes. And then, a few metres off to the side, is this six-foot-four gloomy-looking dude with a severe case of angry eyes. 

But then you read the books, you find out that Adolin and Shallan would both 100% murder someone in a shady back alley, meanwhile Kaladin is probably helping save a child stuck in a tree whilst on the way to his nightly stew dinner and therapy session with his 30 best friends.

Can I be corny for 2 seconds and say that shanes overwhelmingly kind attitude toward history and the world makes his work really weirdly profound. Like I just keep thinking about how he completely reframed my feelings around dinosaurs and natural phenomena like meteorites with his dumb puppet show. Like yeah the dinosaurs had families and loved each other and existed as creatures not just history. And the meteor that caused their extinction wasnt a cruel force, it was just going forward. It couldn’t stop its direction. And yeah maybe those oars were in love. And that flower boat misses its lady. And I bet that poor cruise ship propeller was mortified. And the meteor thought earth was beautiful. And what can one do in the face of such monumental loss, but breathe a weary sigh, for the world is a little quieter now. And you keep existing if you can. Tell the people that you love that you love them thats enough. Be still my heart.

This makes no sense

it literally could not be more straightforward

It literally doesnt make sence, both have the same value, they're both $30

I think the failure of many people to grasp an incredibly simple, barebones metaphor is demonstrating implicit bias very well

This dude straight up stated the fucking answer and still can’t understand it, because he’s expecting the answer to be his own views lmao

No im not expecting anything its just a badly frammed metaphor

Bro you said the answer. Both have the same value despite different sizes. It’s simple. Basic. Elementary.

But it never says that, it just asks you wich one is greater and the text ends there, wich leads you to thinking that one indeed has greater value then the other, and that the one with the greater value is the answear

It asks you which one has the greater value and what is the answer to that question?

Im not about to argue over a focken tit size metaphor

Never underestimate the lack of reading comprehension on this site lmfao

Audio please 🔉

this video is extremely high-tier comedy

destroy the binary in your mind that implies that trans man = afab and trans woman = amab for every trans person u come across. intersex, transsexual, multitransitional, retrans, gender non conforming and all kinds of unique experiences exist

We spend so much time arguing about corsets when we could be spreading the gospel of "women's clothes DID used to have pockets and they were F*CKING HUGE and we should bring them back"

I got this comment on a story from my Other AO3 Account this morning.

(Info redacted because I prefer keeping these accounts separate but no one follows me on the side blog I have for that account.)

The story was posted almost a year ago and is relatively “popular” by my average statistics even though it has tropes and themes that are big turnoffs for a lot of people (hence separate accounts). This popularity is undoubtedly because it’s a Marvel Loki story and that fandom is massive.

So there is obviously an algorithm or a bot scrubbing ao3 statistics and leaving this comment on fics that meet a certain metric with the main character of the fic inserted into the comment.

I had a little time to kill this morning so I decided to investigate further. And y’all this is so predatory. Come on this journey with me. It made me mad. It may make you mad.

First, if you go to Webnovel’s website, you HAVE to choose between male lead or female lead stories before you can go any further. WTF?

And that’s weird, but this gets so much worse. This is basically a pay-to-read site that has different subscription models. Which… okay BUT! The authors don’t get paid! Look at that comment again. They’re promising a supportive and nurturing community, but zero monetary compensation. It’s basically, “post your stuff here so we can get paid and you can get… nice vibes?” I mean look at this Orwellian writing:

Using the phrase “pay-to-read model” in the same sentence as “qualitative changes in lifestyles for authors” deliberately makes you think that you can get paid and maybe even make a living on this website. But that’s not actually what it says and authors will not receive one red cent.

Oh but wait, the worst is still to come. In case this breaks containment (which I kind of hope it does) this is where I mention that I’m a lawyer in the US.

I don’t do intellectual property or copyright law but I do read and write contracts for a living. So I went to look at their terms of service. It was fun!

Highlights the first, in which Webnovel gets a license to do basically whatever they want with content you post on their site. This is how they get to be paid for people reading authors’ writing without paying them anything.

Highlights the second, in which Webnovel takes no responsibility for illegally profiting off of fan fic. This all says that the writer is 100% responsible for everything the writer posts (even though only Webnovel is making money from it).

Highlights the third which say that by posting, the author is representing that they have the legal right to use and to let Webnovel use the content according to these terms. So if a writer posts fan fiction and Webnovel makes money from people reading the fan fiction, and the House of the Mouse catches wise, these sections say that that’s ALL on the writer.

So that’s a little skeevy to start off with but the thing that is seriously shitty and made me make this post was that these assholes are coming to ao3. They are actively recruiting people in comments on their fan fiction. And they are saying they are big fans of the character you’re writing about and that they share your interests.

They are recruiting fan fiction writers and giving every impression that you can make money from posting fan fiction on their site and hiding the fact that you absolutely cannot but they can make money off of you while you try, deep in their terms of service which no one but a lawyer who writes fan fic and has some time to kill will read.

I see posts on here regularly from people who don’t understand how this stuff works, don’t understand that they (and others) can not legally make a financial profit from fan fiction. And there are tons of people who will not take the time to dig into the details.

Don’t deal with these bastards. Fuck Webnovel.

to be fair this is the only thing protecting us from Do You Love The Colour Of The Poll

My goal in life is to be the person running the bookstore in the horror thriller where the protagonist has to go to track down a rune. I've got stupid hair and a vest or something. The protagonist shows me a rune drawn on a napkin and I say shit like "Aha! Just a moment!" Before skittering off for some gay ass book

There really is no feeling quite like discovering a new song that fits your blorbo to a T. Best I can do to convey it is something like

Shoutout to the person who reblogged this 185 times in a row. I understand completely.

nowadays, it feels like every time I block or report porn bots on this hellsite, I embody the spirit of that eldritch “angel of death” entity in Dreamworks’ Prince of Egypt by always making sure to check the follower’s blood-soaked doorway (bio headers marked with fandom ravings/consistent reblogs/non-suspicious links) to spare their firstborns (their beloved blogs) from my smiting (blocking and reporting) spree

#imagining '23/Cairo/new to Twitter😘' over a doorway as the angel of death pokes around

And yet the porn bots’ hearts are hardened, and strike again tomorrow, never letting my humble blog go.
