Informing the world that you use Tumblr. It’s my best “putting your money where your mouth is” joke.

Did he live in your shoelaces before you stole them or did you imprison him within the shoelaces after stealing them?

“For example: A writer sets out to write science fiction but isn’t familiar with the genre, hasn’t read what’s been written. This is a fairly common situation, because science fiction is known to sell well but, as a subliterary genre, is not supposed to be worth study—what’s to learn? It doesn’t occur to the novice that a genre is a genre because it has a field and focus of its own; its appropriate and particular tools, rules, and techniques for handling the material; its traditions; and its experienced, appreciative readers—that it is, in fact, a literature. Ignoring all this, our novice is just about to reinvent the wheel, the space ship, the space alien, and the mad scientist, with cries of innocent wonder. The cries will not be echoed by the readers. Readers familiar with that genre have met the space ship, the alien, and the mad scientist before. They know more about them than the writer does. In the same way, critics who set out to talk about a fantasy novel without having read any fantasy since they were eight, and in ignorance of the history and extensive theory of fantasy literature, will make fools of themselves because they don’t know how to read the book. They have no contextual information to tell them what its tradition is, where it’s coming from, what it’s trying to do, what it does. This was liberally proved when the first Harry Potter book came out and a lot of literary reviewers ran around shrieking about the incredible originality of the book. This originality was an artifact of the reviewers’ blank ignorance of its genres (children’s fantasy and the British boarding-school story), plus the fact that they hadn’t read a fantasy since they were eight. It was pitiful. It was like watching some TV gourmet chef eat a piece of buttered toast and squeal, ‘But this is delicious! Unheard of! Where has it been all my life?’”

there’s a guy at work who’s forcing everyone in the breakroom to gender me right by yelling my name at any given moment 

he also said he was sorry he read my deadname on the worksheet but was “going to get black out drunk and probably forget dw” 

edit : im a trans guy, im out and on T but im very short that’s why my buddy asserts my gender for me i repeat he’s not outing me he’s doing it to keep me from being misgendered

Glasses Swag Tournament Round 2

Gregor (Limbus Company) vs Louis James Moriarty (Moriarty the Patriot)

Mod comments:

Matchup between the two guys I’ve become attached to through this tournament.

I still don’t know a lot about Gregor but he intrigues me.

I went and watched all of Moriarty the Patriot and am starting the manga. It is very good. Intelligent men are hot and the ending made me cry. Thanks guys. I like Louis a lot, although I wish we saw more of him because he doesn’t do much (at least in the anime). His love for William is really sweet though.

I usually save the collage of tags for the final day but people are absolutely killing it down there with the Louis support

I absolutely love that in limbus company the sinners are so fucking goofy and stupid and ridiculous that fans don’t even label them as a group of mercenaries and they’re always just coworkers
