gilgamesh is the bigger man than me because if a snake ate my flower that grants immortality that i wanted to use for myself i wouldn't touchingly come to peace with my own mortality and the mortal legacy i leave behind. i would be like if there was a flower that could make me immortal maybe there are other ways

People talk about Lolita like Humbert Humbert is a conflicted and dichotomous character and then you read the actual book and he's like "I love lying to people for fun and getting lost in flights of wild imagination and making things up and telling falsehoods. Also I look like a bunch of movie stars and every woman in the stories I tell thinks I'm darkly handsome."
HH: "I was in a mental institutions for reasons that are suspiciously never discussed where my favorite thing to do was lie to the psychologists."
Readers: "I think he might be lying about being in love with a child but it's impossible to know for sure."
The edition I'm reading had a little introduction like "is Humbert Humbert a poet in love? Or a dangerous pervert? Perhaps...he is both." 🤔🤔🤔
And then you turn the page to the forward and it's like "Hi. It's me. Vladimir Nabokov, speaking as a diagetic psychologist. Humbert Humbert is a consumate monster. Don't trust anything he says."

When Californians sing about how much they love California it’s about the literal region and land. The Ocean mountains desert gargantuan trees god put everything in that state. But when other people sing about their regions it’s like this cathartic mixed feelings type of song bc of their personal history there. But Californians are like yall it is so dope hereeeeee

Honestly I’d be more inclined to play Stardew Valley if it was about a depressed cop trying to solve a murder whilst navigating the politics of a mass strike and the fallout of counter revolution

“It is said that, during the fantasy book in the late eighties, publishers would maybe get a box containing two or three runic alphabets, four maps of the major areas covered by the sweep of the narrative, a pronunciation guide to the names of the main characters and, at the bottom of the box, the manuscript. Please… there is no need to go that far. There is a term that readers have been known to apply to fantasy that is sometimes an unquestioning echo of better work gone before, with a static society, conveniently ugly ‘bad’ races, magic that works like electricity and horses that work like cars. It’s EFP, or Extruded Fantasy Product. It can be recognized by the fact that you can’t tell it apart form all the other EFP. Do not write it, and try not to read it. Read widely outside the genre. Read about the Old West (a fantasy in itself) or Georgian London or how Nelson’s navy was victualled or the history of alchemy or clock-making or the mail coach system. Read with the mindset of a carpenter looking at trees. Apply logic in places where it wasn’t intended to exist. If assured that the Queen of the Fairies has a necklace made of broken promises, ask yourself what it looks like. If there is magic, where does it come from? Why isn’t everyone using it? What rules will you have to give it to allow some tension in your story? How does society operate? Where does the food come from? You need to know how your world works. I can’t stress that last point enough. Fantasy works best when you take it seriously (it can also become a lot funnier, but that’s another story). Taking it seriously means that there must be rules. If anything can happen, then there is no real suspense. You are allowed to make pigs fly, but you must take into account the depredations on the local bird life and the need for people in heavily over-flown areas to carry stout umbrellas at all times. Joking aside, that sort of thinking is the motor that has kept the Discworld series moving for twenty-two years.”

HEY it’s trans day of visibility! Can you help a homeless trans woman not freeze on the street? Charlotte has cancer and diabetes and needs $163 more to get a weekly motel! She also hasn’t eaten in 2 days- anything helps!
VENM0 @ ruby_arnone
$charlottegraham86
If 17 people send $10 each she has a place to stay for a week. If not she has to sleep outside and hope the cold or the cops don’t get her. I really don’t like to beg but please if you can afford it show up for a trans woman in need.
90 more needed!!
30 more! She slept outside last night! Please help!
She got the motel but is really sick and hasn’t eaten for 3 days- please help!!!

i dont even know what to say about this. exquisite. instant classic of post, possibly "the totalizing thinker craves simplicity" tier. hardcore yuri. even the weirdest fujoshi. a maid dress is the bare minimum of horny
invoking the maid dress an inherent signifier of sexual deviancy is far more "pornbrainrotted" than a lot of the stuff I see on this site

Transmisogynists who say all of the trans women they see talk about transmisogyny are white women so it must be a ‘white woman’ issue and not a serious one when I show them this
and trans women of color who do talk about transmisogyny get so much hate that they are quite literally run off platforms and are scared to speak out
