This is my single and final warning to new followers. If you follow me, I will look at your blog. (Especially if you haven't liked or reblogged anything from me, because I'm trying to resolve my deep internal confusion about why you're here). If I'm immediately or almost immediately greeted by porn gifs, I will report you for posting sensitive content. If I think you are a bot, I will report you for spam. (My criterion for what makes a bot is really specific. 99% of humans should pass with flying colours, but feel free to ask.) If your blog then (hopefully) gets taken down, you can blame me all you want, but I consider it your fault for initiating this interaction to begin with. Don't hate me, I'm just the messenger of your doom. :D

The day we stop commodifying women's bodies and put an end to porn is the day we finally take legitimate action against violence towards women. That is all.

(I don't expect this to actually keep the bots away, but I'm really hoping it does.)

Changing your baby's diapers is genuinely such an expression of sacrificial love

Becoming a parent is like entering an entirely new stage of adulthood, where everything prior to holding your baby in your arms feels like a whole other epoch. It's like discovering the apartment you were living in was actually just half a house, and now the whole building is open to you. I know this gets said a lot, but genuinely, it changes EVERYTHING. And it's the most wonderful experience if you're emotionally prepared for it.

"Few saints have reached the same heights of prayer as Saint Mary Magdelene, who was lifted up to Heaven each day by angels and who had had the privilege of learning at the feet of Our Lord Himself and His Blessed Mother. Yet one day, when she asked God to show her a sure way of advancing in His love and of arriving at the height of perfection, He sent Saint Michael the Archangel to tell her, on His behalf, that there was no other way for her to arrive at perfection than to meditate on Our Lord's passion. So he placed a cross in the front of her cave and told her to pray before it, contemplating the Sorrowful Mysteries, which she had seen take place with her own eyes." St. Louis de Montfort, The Secret of the Rosary

"The queen of Saba, lost in admiration at Solomon's wisdom, cried out: "Blessed are thy men, and blessed are thy servants, who stand before thee always, and hear thy wisdom." (1 Kings 10:8). But far happier still are the faithful who carefully meditate on the life, virtues, suffering, and glory of Our Savior, because by this means, they can gain the perfect knowledge in which eternal life consists. "This is eternal life." (John 17:3)." St. Louis de Montfort, The Secret of the Rosary

One under-appreciated breed of fic writer are the ones who hyperfocus on logistics to the exclusion of all canon shortcuts, and thus usually strike upon an awesome way to flesh out the worldbuilding or characters.

Like, I’m not necessarily talking realism here since often it’s still pretty far from realistic, but more like, “someone has to be running spies in this fantasy kingdom, and we’ve seen the whole royal court, so which background character is it? How does that change these three major interactions?” Or “real life historical nobility did in fact have some things to do that were like jobs, how does this human disaster cope with running an estate?” Or “there’s no reason for a sci-fi robot detective to know how to whitewater kayak, where’d she learn?” Or “if this guy is serving the emperor directly he has to be way high up in the space empire servant hierarchy, why is he doing this menial task for someone else? What’s his motive? Does he perhaps have the secret space telepathy?”

Anyway I’m always DELIGHTED to find a fic or writer who asks these questions because the fics themselves are universally bangers.

Fanfiction is becoming people’s primary form of entertainment right now because most media right now is so cheap, bland, recycled, and sponsored by people who love money more than the source material. Fanfiction is written for free by people who genuinely love what they’re writing about. That’s why it’s better. That’s why it’s more satisfying. Fanfiction is a home-cooked meal made for yourself and for your friends. Media today is junky fast food spoiled by too much grease and the knowledge that the people producing it are being criminally mistreated and underpaid.

WOW. BRO.THAT’S.

Also, we don’t try to make everything in fanfiction canon. We can explore alternate universes to our hearts’ content, but we don’t try to insist, “That’s the way it is now, and if you disagree, you’re a terrible person.”

To an extent this is what also makes indie games so good. Small passion projects that someone made because they wanted to, with absolutely no concept of focus groups, market positioning, or shareholder value. Just a bunch of people, maybe even one person, and a funky idea.
