help im scared :(

i genuinely think boats are such good places to set a story because it automatically gives you a set of really interesting circumstances -- boats are transitory, you are not meant to stay on them forever, there is an automatic assumption of ending up somewhere different from where you started...characters are forced into close proximity, stakes are higher, etc. boats also just look cool, so that's always a plus

some piece of penis on twitter stole my post then that got reposted to tumblr and got 60k notes. my psyonic warriors. source your chat gpt slander ethically

“Appeal to a wider audience” is corporate lingo for “strip more themes from a piece of media so it’s safer and more sanitized for investors”

I struck a nerve in the billionaire fandom with this one

All of this, but if you'll all indulge me, I just want to spell it out again a bit differently, because I think it's important: once you start thinking of "good" and "bad" as teams you belong to, not only do you become blind to the evil you perpetuate, but you start thinking of evil as good. Using the example above, is racism bad? Most people, I hope, would say yes. But when you think of good and bad as teams you're assigned to, rather than things anyone can do, it doesn't matter whether racism is good or bad, it only matters which team is doing it. If you're on the "good" team, then you can be as racist as you like, as long as you're being racist to the people on the "bad" team. Rather than racism being something that's always wrong, no matter what, now you've created a class of acceptable targets that you can get away with being racist to, because you're on the "good" team and they're not. This can happen with anything, not just racism. Fatphobia, homophobia, xenophobia, sexism, misogyny, transphobia, ableism...anything.

memes are fun and relatable and all that, but don't let them discourage you. all of that stuff that doesn't make it into the final product is part of how the final product gets made

I saw some snippet of a callout post for an autistic trans woman where they list social faux pas she committed, and I think we allistic people should all feel 100x more ashamed of not telling people in the moment how we feel about what they're doing. I think its extremely evil and cruel to not only lie to an autistic person and blame them for it but also to feel justified shaming them for your behavior. And it's currently the social norm to do that

Everytime we as allistic people sit and force a smile or sigh and act subtly grumpy or otherwise lie to an autistic person's face about how we feel about what they did it is in fact Our Fault that we are enduring whatever the autistic person is daring to try and share with us. You can literally say something out loud directly. The literal structure of our social existence will always traumatize autistic people unless you can give a fuck enough to consider it isn't their fault that you didn't communicate with them

Even I couldn't understand this until my wife was in tears because I had internalized the idea that it was her fault that people were uncomfortable in a conversation where no one told her they were uncomfortable and blamed her for it. Allistic people punish autistic people for so many Percieved slights, or even decide together afterward what exactly the slight was and then make their collective judgment behind the autistic persons back. Not only do we get the benefit of communicating nonverbally through obtuse social cues the autistic person can't parce, we then get to say that we weren't going behind their back because we all did those social cues they are too disabled to understand Right in front of them. No, what you did was choose to suppress your feelings and then reap the social benefits of being in on the discomfort.

this is literally why many autistic people genuinely worry that their friends secretly hate them, by the way. because many people in the past did.

no, i dont lose hyperfixations. theyre just moved to a different, slightly less used, shelf in my brain.
