Apologizing now for those of you who followed me after the gnab fic expecting fun, quirky content. I’m only funny like 25% of the time. The other 75% I’m putting out heart wrenching angst. I killed off the reader in a fic and people still haven’t forgiven me for it
that was not part of our deal
I’d like to get a lawyer involved @kangaracharacha
ma'am this contract is airtight, you're up shit creek without a paddle

The thing that gets me about the impending Harry Potter show is like. I'm able to, for entirely hypothetical purposes, put aside my disdain and disgust for the author's full-tilt bigotry and put myself in the shoes of someone who's still a Fan, like I would be if the author hadn't doubled, tripled, and quadrupled down on being a full-tilt bigot, and even then, imagining the alternate universe where JKR remained a staunch ally and well-meaning if clueless liberal philanthropic darling, I still can't quite wrap my head around why I'd want this show to be made
Everyone keeps saying it's going to be a Faithful Adaptation Of The Series and I'm just like... okay? This isn't A Series Of Unfortunate Events that got a bad adaptation and they had to go back and try again to get it right. The majority of fans liked and continue to like the movies, a lot, and despite some minor quibbles here and there, they're considered incredibly faithful adaptations. The Fandom isn't exactly divided on this, either.
Like, I imagine a nearby alternate timeline where JKR was never hit by the Idiot Stick That Makes You Hate Women and remained normal, and I remained a fan of a flawed but influential children's fantasy series, and I can't really think of a reason why I would be excited about them trying to make lightning strike a second time. Are people really that mad about Michael Gambon saying "Harry did you put your name in the goblet of fire" animatedly instead of calmly? Or is WB just worried that the incoming demographic of theme park attendees have nowhere near the nostalgic link to the series that millennials would, and that if they don't inject the series back into the zeitgeist, the golden goose might stop laying eggs?
If JK Rowling hadn't gone full terf and this remake was happening then we'd all be wearily rolling our eyes at yet another carriage being hitched to the endless train of unnecessarily remade hits that nobody wants. People would be joking about "they're making a live action Harry Potter now" (the joke of course being that the previous one was also live action this time so they don't even have the normal excuse). People would revive old comparisons of Lion King shots and Mulan shots and put up Harry Potter ones next to them and joke about how expressive the animation is in the original. I can't see any world in which anyone would want this.
for whatever it's worth, I saw a post recently on this theorising that the show is to get rid of merch with the original actors' (allies that jk rowling hates) faces off merch and therefore cut their continuing earnings from the movies and instead install in new actors whose opinions she can control.
so like, that and money/relevance grabbing and all the other usual reasons to reboot something even after it's dead
it's absolutely fascinating how a week ago i made a comment on a tiktok that was a clip from the show emily in paris, and it was kind of a dickhead comment but i'll stand by it, that show was racist and thoughtless and really stupid, anyway.
it's now the top comment at 16.4k likes and 44 replies that are all the exact same comment telling me i'm wrong and clearly didn't watch the show (no, i didn't, I spent that time watching shows worth watching).
do those 44 people just get off on saying the same thing someone above them already said? are they like, 'the message hasn't gotten through but my comment will change it!'? do they just start screaming the moment they see my stupid comment that apparently obviously shows i don't know what i'm talking about?
also if I'm so wrong and all 44 comments say so then why do 16.4k people agree with me?
#the scientific study i can't escape because you can't turn off notifications on tiktok#and none of those idiots are getting the satisfaction of thinking i deleted the comment for them#i got one i could reply to the other day#it was like same fare but the sentence sounded like garbled AI nonsense#the comment was 'maybe she should have tried learning french' and so my reply to that comment was#'try learning english and come back'#i've never been an internet troll before but like#i get it now the power that i hold over these 44 angry little guys is immense#they want SO BAD for me to watch this stupid show and tell them i was wrong#brother i watched half an episode and a breakdown on youtube by a french guy#lily they could never make me like you

the rest of the paragraph that was cut out in that screenshot literally explains the reasons behind the easter bilby and bluntly theyre minimising the impact that wild rabbits have had as an introduced species in our ecosystem.
the easter bibly was an ingenious campaign that builds in social awareness and change to an ongoing annual tradition without detracting from what that tradition represents. the choice behind it was intentional
saying Australians "don't like bunnies" because of ecological damage is like saying Americans "don't like rabies" because of the health risks. They're a major problem and the Easter Bilby rules.

it really is crazy how quickly people were willing to just let chatgpt do everything for them. i have never even tried it. brother i don't even know if it's just a website you go to or what. i do not know where chatgpt actually lives, because i can decide my own grocery list.

played sims 4 for the first time and one of the married cis men had a desire to try for baby with his cis husband. i accidentally pinned it and could not unpin it. trying for baby is physically impossible. I tried to use cheats to give him a viable womb in create a sim but it wouldn’t let me do so retroactively. so I thought, maybe if they adopt the want for pregnancy will go away, and had them adopt a toddler daughter. but then the try for baby desire did not go away. since they now had an unwanted adopted child I tried to remove the toddler from the household, thinking this would send her back into the ether. it did not. instead she wanders the neighborhood like a feral cat. i thought the social worker would come and take her back so someone else could adopt her, but I guess there is no social worker in sims 4. so now the neighborhood is haunted by a smelly miserable baby that has no home but cannot die and everyone who sees her is uncomfortable. fucking omelas scenario.
no one is feeding her but every time she gets hungry she simply produces a carton of milk out of the ether and drinks it
OP— do ctrl+shift+C and type “testingcheats true” and then “cas.fulleditmode” into the bar, then go into CAS and change one of the sims to be able to get pregnant. mpreg is possible ALWAYS
thanks. the womb installation worked.
