Ramblin’ ‘bout stuff

@quizmasterfred

brooding men who cannot communicate their feelings if their life depended on it are only hot when they're fictional. if i have to deal with one in real life i will curse him and pray for his downfall every night before i go to bed

It's because the writer communicates their feelings for them. If people wanna pull that off in real life they need to hire a guy to walk around behind them narrating.

i'm loving the implication that this isn't something they hired you for, but something you'd do as some sort of public service.

seeing straight men be disgusted by booktok smut recommenders has actually radicalized me to the side of booktok smut recommenders. girls your taste may be atrocious but i will never disparage you for exposing mainstream discourse to the concept of soaking through your underwear. spent my whole life listening to men talk about penises it’s about time they get jumpscared by women talking about pussy in crude detail on social media. go forth and goon my warriors

I work at a bookstore and hearing one of my male coworkers call smutty romantasy "the downfall of society" because it's "literally just porn" radicalized me

Men have an entire industry. Entire industries dedicated to their sexualities. Let women have fantasy sex. there's not even a camera crew involved.

Left this in the notes

I was thinking about the Thirteenth Doctor’s era and The Timeless Child, as you do, and I was once again struck by how brilliantly it addresses one of the largest elephants in the room with Doctor Who, which is of course The White Man’s Burden.

Doctor Who has for the vast majority of its run been about how much better everything would be if a White British Man showed up and sorted out everyone else’s problems for them. To further this discomfort, throughout both the modern and classic shows we see the Doctor interact with all manner of deeply problematic figures and moments in British history and treat them with defference and respect. The Doctor is an Anglophile, the show merrily jokes to explain away the Doctor’s strange obsession and love for England even during some of the country’s darkest chapters (I recently watched it so Season 2′s The Crusade is particuarly standing out in my mind at the moment as an example of this, but it really is everywhere).

I’ve posted about it before, but I truly and deeply believe that Series 11 is where we first start to see a real questioning of the British Imperial narrative that was left unquestioned in Doctor Who for so long. The end of Series 12 on the other hand begins the vital process of recontextualizing the Doctor’s character inorder to decouple them from The White Man’s Burden.

Hey friendly reminder to love and cherish Green Day

“Authors of the 20-year-old song ‘fuck the politicians and the media they rode in on’ have very suddenly gotten unexpectedly political. Who could’ve seen this coming?”

Yes, this. A stunning number of people will default to "because it's illegal." Teaching an intro-level bioethics course will demonstrate real fucking fast that a lot of the population just lets legality stand in for morality.

i love writing fic (taking my own angst/grief/trauma) and sharing it on ao3 (making it everyone else’s problem)

"im tired of living through major historical events" is now "dear lord please let me witness a high profile political assassination in the next 1-2 years. amen"
