Fiddauthor in fanon is often doomed toxic unrequited type yaoi, and I DO love some angst, but y'all forget how much Ford loves that guy
"His brilliant mind and amusing quirks have made this task infinitely more enjoyable"
"One of the kindest hearts I've ever seen"
Sorry. From DAY ONE being roommates in college, he ran up to Fiddleford (after he'd been crying and wanting to leave) and was like "I won't sleep until I prove your theory!!"
He was so excited to work with him and be best friends. The adoration is unreal. Fuckass BILL got in his head and turned him against Fiddleford. They were so sweet to each other, and Ford wasn't selfish from the start, but Bill went all Frodo and Gollum on him and Ford screwed up bigtime because of it
"I'm sorry Fiddleford" had been on loop in his head for 30 years, I'm not over that
They way certain people here want Katara to be a woman with no agency over her life and marriage, miserable, unhappy, abused and used as an incubator by the evil monk Aang....so sad.
She's a hero, powerful, the master of water bending, in love and happy :) And sheās loved and respected by Aang
If she was unhappy with Aang, she would have dropped his ass in 0.5 seconds. Yes the real Katara can do that, unlike your cinderella self insert
You all reducing one of the strongest, most interesting, and dynamically written characters in the show to misogynistic tropes and theories just because you don't like the boy she ended up with. You are literally making up things to be mad about. This is hilarious
Well you can stay mad forever lol
God you are so right about 40k and the T'au, I love my blue boys but they've been squandered so much it genuinely hurts lol. Makes me wanna make a fanon au of the setting instead ngl
So what's stopping you?
One of the things I loved seeing back in The Old Days Of Posting, was people coming up with AU settings of 40k. That kinda shit is fun, and it feels very in keeping with the spirit of Oldhammer, which is silly and ridiculous and fun.
Brighthammer 40k, the Dornian Heresy, The Shape of the Nightmare to Come... hell, I've seen people turn 40k into the stereotypical coffee shop AUs, and there was even that one time the /tg/ hivemind seemed to spontaneously create that Warhammer High thing. To say nothing of Love Can Bloom.
Now I don't know if I'm just old, or I just don't go to the right websites anymore because the internet has become 3 websites that we all hate due to capitalism, but I really wish people would do more fun shit like that again. Seems like all I see lately is dickheads arguing with each other going "No, you can't do that, it's not canon!"
If you want to make a fanon AU, go for it! It is literally impossible for anyone other than yourself to stop you!
But if you do, let me know, because I want to see it.
shipping characters who are just friends in canon is more than okay but whatās annoying is when people take screenshots of them touching and say āfriends donāt do that!ā. i hate to break it to you but friends do hug and hold hands and cuddle. saying āfriends donāt do thatā is reenforcing the idea that physical touch is reserved for lovers
I write all the things I don't have the courage to say out loud.

AI could never replace our creations! LetĀ“s all share our talents and support eachother <3<3
fotd: gay people real
idk i canāt think of one for today, also sorry i keep missing them lmao
fotd: a trans person is still trans, even if they donāt ālookā it.
fotd: people on the arospec and acespec are queer.
fotd: the point of identities in the queer community is not to box yourself, but to find something that roughly describes how you feel. it doesnāt have to be all that close to your identity to use it! for example, i say iām bisexual, when i probably fit more under sexual fluidity - my preference and sexuality tends to change a lot. i still say im bisexual as that feels more right! so donāt feel the need to label yourself as something and then when something about you doesnāt align with that label, donāt freak out. that label just describes common experiences!
fotd: being transgender is not just being male to female or female to male! the trans- prefix is a latin prefix meaning āacrossā, ābeyondā, or āon the other side ofā, so being transgender is identifying as anything that doesnāt align with your assigned gender from birth!
if i can remember to iām gonna start doing daily lgbt-related facts, so hereās my first one (yes this may seem obvious, but this is to help educate people who donāt know this stuff)
fotd: with lgbt related things, the prefixes of things like sexuality/sexual orientation, romantic orientation, and gender tend to be interchangeable. take the bi- prefix for example: bisexual is sexually attracted to people of two genders, biromantic is romantically attracted to people of two genders, and bigender is having two genders that you identify with
Hey, look at me. Look at me. Iāve said it once and Iāll say it again: you need to condition yourself to being okay with being inconvenienced by things. The first time I spoke about this I meant it in a mental health way- it is good to go out to the store and see people versus just ordering alone at home- but there is another more pressing societal issue you should be more concerned about as well.
Any service you rely on for convenience can be weaponized against you the moment you begin to rely on it. Streaming used to be a cheap and convenient way to see movies at home. It is now exorbitantly expensive, you need multiple accounts just to get what you want, and any of those movies can be taken from you at any time. And unless you have gotten used to going through the āinconvenienceā of owning physical media, you can do nothing about it. Same goes for buying things on Amazon. Same goes for any service like DoorDash etc. These companies WANT you to be reliant on them for convenience so they can do whatever they want to you because, well, what else are you gonna do?
Same thing goes for the uptick in AI. If you train yourself to become reliant on AI for doing basic things, you will be taken advantage of. It is only a matter of a couple years before there are no free AI services. Not only that, but in the usage of AIās case, it is robbing you of valuable skills that you need to curate that you will be helpless without the moment the AI companies drive in the knife the way they have done with streaming. Delivery. Cable. Internet. Etc. It will happen to AI too. And if you are not practicing skills such as. Writing. You are not only going to be at the mercy of AI companies in the digital world, but you are going to be extremely easy to take advantage of in real life too.
I am begging you to let go of learned helplessness. I am begging you to stop letting these companies TEACH you helplessness. Do something like learn to pirate. It is way more inconvenient at the beginning, but once you know how, it is one less way companies can take advantage of you. Garden. Go to the thrift store (older clothes hold up better anyway). These things take more time and effort, yes, but using time and effort are muscles you need to stretch to keep yourself from being flattened under the weight of our capitalist hellscape.
Inconvenience yourself. Please. Start with only the ways you are able. Do a little bit at a time. But do something.
Some fish species, called mouthbrooders, carry their young ones in their mouths for protection.
They would be traumatised if they saw Asian parents dealing with their children.
I am loading my pockets full of candy and grabbing my poison daggars and my fly swatter. I agree with this 100%. Anyone disagree with this can face my daughter Mira, she hunts rats and birds to the point when no other animals go into my neighborhood, she a good cat, and a even better cuddler.
based on a true story
hi there mr gaiman what would you like to say to the people who are weirded out about god being voiced by a woman in good omens?
Get over yourselves, perhaps?
Part of sex-positivity is supporting people whoāre positive that they donāt want to have sex.
I just love *clenches fist* talking about character analysis and why characters act the way they do. Itās supremely satisfying to figure out motivations of characters and see how that ties into their core nature and how they perceive the world around them.
And if you belittle someone for doing so youāre a shitty person
you are allowed to be proud of yourself for things that might seems small to other people.
