to be honest there has never been a fictional character i’ve actually wanted to date. like. i want them to date each other. i don’t want myself as a person to be involved in this scenario whatsoever. what would i add to this narratively? what’s my thematic purpose in the narrative? immersion breaking. 

i get attracted to characters all the time but i wouldn't want to seriously date them mostly because i don't think they would realistically be very interested in my neet ass self shipping is still cool though and i respect it

Oh, and by the way, that Supreme Court ruling is where that Harry Potter money goes.

Context.

This isn't even a slight exaggeration. JKR has openly given at least £70,000 to For Women Scotland to campaign against trans rights and fund this exact supreme court ruling. x x

Her anti-trans Crisis Centre in Edinburgh has the director of For Women Scotland on the Board of Directors. x

We can presume she's given more (financial) support off the record or in other ways.

Rowling consistently makes passive income on all Harry Potter products. Multiple sources have cited that Rowling earns anywhere between $50 million to a $100 million each year from royalties. Forbes estimated she earned $95 million in 2017 alone. x x x

It is a well-known fact that she earns net profit percentages on all her IP. Every time you buy any HP merch, from anywhere, she gets a cut. Every time you watch one of her films, even streaming or just on the tv, she gets a cut. Every time you visit Universal Studios or Harry Potter World, she gets a cut.

And she uses that money to do this. To strip trans rights at every opportunity.

This is where that Harry Potter money goes.

can't believe we still have to explain this

The two most important rhetorical devices to keep in your toolkit when speaking to americans online are the burger and the 9/11. The burger may be used when discussing economics, i.e. “high price of burger,” or “low quality of burger” can both be used to communicate poor economic conditions. You pull out the 9/11 when trying to communicate the human cost of a tragic event, i.e. “the car accident that killed my wife was 0.033377837116155% as bad as 9/11.”

I guess ultimately it just rubs me the wrong way when people use "Gundam" as the default example for like. Gritty No Fun Allowed Military Mecha Shit because that is simply not what Gundam is. And I get that a lot of annoying dudebros who have Char icons and jerk off to 08th MS Team have worked hard to give it that stereotype.

But Gundam is a show about space magic and ghosts and psychics and homoeroticsm and crossdressing and gender fuckery and autism (canonically) and its diehard fans have been rightfully embracing it as a show for Freaks since 1980. Gundam does not deserve its stodgy dudebro reputation and certified gay freak Char Aznable absolutely does not deserve it either

I have so many questions about Cait Sith. He tells the gang that he's a regular 9 to 5 paper pusher and they just. Accept that. Granted this is a universe where Chadley exists so the idea of Shinra hiring a robot is not exactly unusual but also. This is a three foot tall cartoon cat. He can't have been built explicitly for the sake of being a spy because Cissnei recognizes him, implying Cait Sith is just like??? A known thing? He's got seniority at the golden saucer second only to Dio, so he presumably has been working there for at least several months. Did Reeve just build his little fursona cat son and set him up with a nice job and everyone in the company knows about this?

Also the fact that he's a robot and literally everyone in the party knows this and at one point we straight up accuse him of being a listening device and his only argument is "I am way too cute and tiny to be a spy. Look at me. I'm just a little guy."

And everyone is like "Shit. He got us there."

little dude makes absolutely zero sense whatsoever and that's why i love him i hope the next remake installment explains absolutely nothing about him final fantasy vii final fantasy 7 ff7

Class 1 recall on Tostitos. (Class 1 means they can kill you if consumed.)
