Idk the thing about Frankenstein is that there are so many things in the text that just make no goddamn sense and everyone has their own different subtext interpretations to fill in the holes and I have the burden of having the correct one, and I think that’s beautiful,

when i say i’m from ukraine, people assume i live somewhere else now. when i say i live in ukraine, they assume i’m somehow immune to war, and there’s a logical division between a ukrainian they chat with on discord and a ukrainian on the news. bitches my yaoi is written from the bomb shelter

Just an ordinary day in Ukraine. You live on the very edge of being killed at any moment.

I wanna all of you to know that majority of my MM fic is written during night air attacks. Russia attacks Ukraine basicly every night with drones nowadays, so you end up filling time of sitting in shelter with something, uncluding writting.

bad news guys they gave me the hrt that turns you into an impish little scoundrel, such as might be henchman to an evil wizard or demon lord or so on

have your people call my people 🤙

it stands for henchman replacement tincture

me when i realize i couldve henched for a hot evil demon dragon lady but i got hired by this fuckass wizard

im reducing your salary

if i ever had godlike powers over the nature of animals i'd just make crabs smarter. like on par with crows or something. you'll walk out onto the pier at night and see a group of crabs working together to drag an unconscious man into the water. you can't help him now. he's gone.

Favorite thing about the Red Note shenanigans: Mongolian ranchers suddenly gaining a rabid following of American horse girls and being like "we knew you had cowboys but we didn't know you value and love horses as friends like we do, this is excellent"

Mongolian rancher 🤝 American horse girl synergy I guess

"you don't have to transition to be trans": overdone, dull, runs cover for taking away medical care from those who need it

"you don't have to be trans to transition": exciting, poignant, radical perspective on the right to bodily autonomy

I really don't think these early poll results are going to reflect Tumblr demographics at large, but what the hell.

Hey, you! Do you remember LiveJournal? Remember all the fun you had there? Remember all the cool fics and communities and stuff?

Dreamwidth is basically LiveJournal but better!

Yes, LJ was more work than Tumblr is! Yes, it was harder to share images! But damned if it wasn't still a helluva lot of fun, and I miss it dearly!

We can still have that kind of fun on Dreamwidth!

Join me, everyone, and together we can rebuild better than we ever had it at LJ!

It seems like I may be wrong about Tumblr's demographics, but there is still plenty of time for things to go the other way...

Anyway, here's some improvements Dreamwidth has made to the LJ formula:

  • The owners are actively fighting for our rights and have been for years
  • Remember how when you added someone as a Friend on LJ they had access to all (or at least some) of your locked posts, which made privacy kinda wonky? Dreamwidth did something about that; "Friends" has now been split into "Follow" and "Access", so you can subscribe to a person's journal without having to grant them access to your locked posts, and/or you can grant someone access to your locked posts without having to follow them back. The first one is already great for privacy, and the second is great for if you have, for example, fics under access lock but don't necessarily want to have everyone you grant access to on your reading page
  • Dreamwidth has done a lot to make the site accessible for disabled people
  • Dreamwidth is also doing its best to make the site surfable on mobile; this is important because it will never have an app (To be fair, LJ might also be working on this, but I've never visited LJ on my phone and don't really plan to)
  • On LJ, you could have, what, 3 icons with a free account, 6 with a sponsored account? Dreamwidth gives free accounts 15 icons
  • Dreamwidth is entirely user-funded; there's still no ads, and never will be
  • Content on Dreamwidth is not subject to Russian law

I'm sure there's more, but that's what I can think of at the moment. Point being, if you miss LJ (or InsaneJournal, or GreatestJournal, or Journalfen, etc), maybe come visit sometime?

I should use my Dreamwidth more.

hey so rb'ing bc i did not know that dreamwidth was a Thing

and i'd be happy to find mutuals / communities on there

Conveniently, I just made a great big post about that 😁 It's mostly links to a bunch of communities where you can find new friends and/or things to do, plus a couple official communities I recommend following just to keep up with things.

(But this is also a great excuse for people to share their own account names in the notes and if they want more Dreamwidth friends 👀 Just as a thought 👀)

Someone in my fb chicken group has a little bearded bantam that likes to sit on shoulders so they did a pirate photoshoot and I am losing it

Just look at it!! THE LITTLE HAT!!!

I saw this the other day it was so cute 😭

It’s not often on this website that I go “wait, it’s NOT a painting?”
