@imminentinertia / imminentinertia.tumblr.com

Nobody reads pinned posts but just in case you're trying to find out wtf kind of person I am

  • AO3: imminentinertia
  • Discord: imminentinertia (and if you see that username somewhere else it's most likely me)
  • Some Tumblr only drabbles to be found here
  • Things that don't really have to do with fandoms, mostly reblogs of art and weird shit, usually end up at @itswinetodaybutpisstomorrow
  • My current enthusiasm for QL has lead me to make a sort of watchlist blog for more obscure shows, @fellharder, and I'm questioning all my life choices
  • I translated social media for Lovleg (with a friend doing the Instagram posts): @lovlegskada, which together with our clip-translating and subtitling friends at @lovlegenglish provide the full fan translation of the show (it's great and everyone should watch it! You can find the full translated show here: season 1 and season 2)
  • For a couple of years a friend (and later one friend more) and I recced evak fics and hosted challenges and Best Of events: @evakteket . There's a lot of good fics linked there, but some works have since been deleted, that's the way it goes
  • Back in the day I made some posts to help foreign SKAM fic writers with various Norwegian details, they can be found here (some of the information is outdated by now)
  • I used to be @skamskada btw
  • Everyone should go look at this post and listen to the amazing singing of the Ode to AO3/Problematic Trope Love Song
  • I like languages and linguistics an unhealthy amount and I know a thing or two about media analysis, but I usually can't be arsed to analyse much here because fandom is not my job. I'm here to squee
  • Pronouns? Female ones preferred but the syntax of pronoun information in English annoys the shit out of me (if you include the object why not include the possessive and the reflexive. The subject is sufficient anyway. Gah). (Yes, I'm like this)
  • I'm a fandom old and I still have an LJ account (which is not imminentintertia, actually)
  • I'm reasonably friendly and enjoy chatting with fandom people, so by all means interact with me

What's that bro? You began interacting with a media from a different country than yours and/or was made in time period different than the recent present day? Haha that's sick bro! Keep expanding your horizons bro! You're remembering to take into account that sociocultural norms, gender roles and genre expectations are different from what you are used to and meeting the story halfway, instead of forcibly superimposing your ideals into the story, right bro? Right? Right?

googledocs you are getting awfully uppity for something that can’t differentiate between “its” and “it’s” correctly

oho and now you’re questioning my adverb usage? you? you?

you fucking dare?

you try to change ‘tears’ to ‘years’ for no reason but don’t catch ‘imporint’???

hey quick question gdocs

what the fuck

1. how the fuck did this post become so popular

2. everyone just commenting ‘QUERCHED’ is delightful

3. some people have suggested i use grammarly. this is letting the robots win and also would deprive me of the opportunity to complain about insignificant technical things instead of just wanting to scream over writing all the time

4. i use googledocs because i want access to my writing on multiple platforms and also because fuck microsoft 

5. the difference between [its] and [it’s] is that [it’s] is always used as a shortened form of [it is] and [its] is used as the possessive of [it]. yes, this goes against the usual practice of just tacking on an [‘s] when you want to indicate ownership. yes, english is absolutely a trash language.

btw, gdoc’s most recent transgression:

noooope

LITERALLY THE EXACT OPPOSITE MEANING OF WHAT I WANT, GDOCS

i’m sorry what kind of AI FUCKERY is going on here that you are trying to ADD IN ADVERBS FOR ME that could ENTIRELY CHANGE THE TONE from a neutral ‘He’d been young’ to something that would put emphasis on just how young he was and how long ago it was you cannot just THROW EXTRA WORDS IN LIKE THAT

‘he’d been so young’ I’LL FUCKING KILL YOU

OH MY FUCKING GOD ARE YOU SERIOUS

me @ everyone else using googledocs:

YOU

I just listened to a podcast with an A.I. research scientist. She said if you wouldn’t trust autocorrect to be in charge of a decision, then you shouldn’t trust another A.I. with it, so… that’s something to worry about

Grammarly is not better.

querched

If you were thinking learning to proofread wasn’t actually helpful…

i have ritually deactivated spellcheck on every word processor i’ve used since 2007. those damn squiggly lines are distracting and also i like to make up words a lot! i used to print out all my stuff and go over it with a red pen to make corrections (would love to do that now but printer ink is soo expensive), which was arguably a lot less efficient but hey, at least now i don’t have to rely on fucking AI-powered spellcheck lmao

it’s crazy how all the tools we rely on can just update with awful bullshit like this, become substantially worse, and no one involved in pushing the change faces any consequences whatsoever. good GOD does the tech industry need to be regulated

kinda funny when online discourse can be refuted with ‘I was literally there’

Kinda funny when the term has been used since the ‘70s, over thirty years before this author claims to have decided it.

this is in the context of confirming the name of the overall genre at a specific event (and why it’s most commonly known as yuri), she talks about the historical context as well:

to clarify the last sentence, the ‘japanese researchers are unlikely to know this’ is because she’s talking about things happening in english fandom spaces rather than japanese fandom spaces.

Week 6: Rec a fic with great character portrayal!

Did the fic get the characters from the show just right? Or made you see them in a new way? Did it combine canon characterization with new details to make the character really come to life?

Rec a fic with great character portrayal and tag your post with #qlficrecfest2025 to share!

a fic that could be canon

I woke up remembering a specific KinnPorsche fic that would be the perfect recommendation for this prompt. Couldn't find it for the love of me. But one that I did find and that fits the prompt just as well is this short fic where Pete and Macau bond over a joint.

smog lights (2654 words) by lusn Chapters: 1/1 Fandom: KinnPorsche: The Series (TV) Rating: Teen And Up Audiences Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply Relationships: Pete Phongsakorn Saengtham & Macau Theerapanyakun, Pete Phongsakorn Saengtham/Vegas Kornwit Theerapanyakun Characters: Pete Phongsakorn Saengtham, Macau Theerapanyakun, Vegas Kornwit Theerapanyakun Additional Tags: Post-Canon, Slice of Life, Family Feels, Smoking, Marijuana, Anxiety Attacks, Suicidal Thoughts, Macau Theerapanyakun Needs a Hug, and he sure does get one, teenagers in the mafia have it hard, but they have good big bros to help them through it Summary: Pete peers at the joint that Macau is not doing a very good job of hiding. "Are you supposed to have that?" "Who cares," Macau mutters.

About that other fic, maybe you can help me out, @khunspikesficrecs? It's about Macau hiding at the safe house and waiting for Vegas to call after the coup, except that Vegas never calls and on the third day his bodyguard leaves and never comes back and eventually he calls one of the Therapanyakul brothers and is taken to the hopsital. I've read it at least three times, I should be able to find it but alas I did not... (I really need to start bookmarking more consistently)
