Some of my favorite writers on Tumblr

there are two types of writers.

  1. “this plot has been in my head for 10 years and finally it’s perfect.”
  2. “what if frogs had a secret government?”

jk rowling's new reputation will never not be funny to me. when you see her name now you dont think "oh yeah thats the chick who wrote harry potter" you think "oh lord, this TERF bitch again" like bro how do you fuck up so bad that your fuck ups overshadow writing the third most read piece of literature in existence

My state is banning "obscene depictions of minors in content (or someone that looks like one)"

It's safe to say that they don't care about protecting real kids. If they did, child marriage and child beauty pageants would be outlawed.

More than likely, they're using this to conveniently label LGBT content as obscene and then ban it, regardless of context. But of course, if I question this, I'll be called a pedophile.

remember: They say a word like "obscene" and you think "Oh, when they say obscene, that means obscene. As in, you know, really bad things. Well, I definitely am against really bad things. This sounds like maybe a good idea."

Except the thing is that the are not using words in good faith. When they say "obscene", they mean the things that are obscene to *THEM*, not the things that are obscene to you.

Some things that conservatives find obscene: Queers existing anywhere. Women having the right to vote and medical control of their own bodies. Anyone having sexual autonomy. Interracial marriage. Equal pay. Immigrants breathing near them (anywhere within a 2500 mile radius). A Black person making eye contact with them. People speaking a different language where they can hear it.

By the definition they are thinking of, an "obscene depiction of a minor" could be a photograph of an interracial couple on their wedding day, smiling together with their daughter, the flower girl. You think this is a joke? Nope. This is Fascism 101, baby.

Your "obscene" and their "obscene" are not the same thing.

One of my favourite things when reading fanfiction is when you click with an author's style so much that you adore the fanfiction you're reading, and once it's over you need more. So you go to their page and hope that there's more for any fandom you might know- only there isn't any. They've written for other fandoms you aren't familiar with and never would've thought about before.

But you're down so bad for their style and talent that they got you wading in like:

Reveal to me the playlist for the toxicest yaoi, Morgan x Christopher from ALiCE/WHiTE RABBiT (since you learn more about them, separately, in that one)

One last kiss, I love you like a broken pot / I love you like a pack of dogs / I need you like I need a gaping head wound

You'll change your name or change your mind / And leave this fucked up place behind / But I'll know, I'll know

Can you forgive me? For not understanding your ways / You know sometimes you take it all too far / Then I remember it's a game

OOO gimme songs for Dirty Paws? UwU

AND I'M GONNA DO IT /WITHOUT/ PUTTING "DIRTY PAWS" ON THE PLAYLIST BECAUSE THAT GOES WITHOUT SAYING.

No, the Of Monsters and Men song that goes on this playlist is "Wolves Without Teeth" which might ALSO be obvious but "I'll be the blood/if you'll be the bones/I'm giving you all, I'm giving you all" goes SO hard. "And I run from wolves/tearing into me without teeth" RUNNING FROM YOUR PERSONAL DEMONS?? YES??? HELLO?? Honestly the alternate title of all time tbh but Dirty Paws is also so good.

"I Wanna Get Better" by Bleachers. The idea of no longer fitting in with your friends, and not for the better. The ambiguous ending. Is this about Jace or Alex? Yes.

Last one was a little tough but I'm going with "Claw Machine" by Sloppy Jane ft. Phoebe Bridgers and yes this IS the song that gave I Saw the TV Glow it's title and YES that is relevant to why I chose it because the VIBES? The late 80's/early 90's troubled teen who is neurodivergent and/or queer but doesn't have the language to express their need for community?? The expectation and judgment of "you know it's a mistake when it's me who's making it"??? Hello Alex pick up the phone it's for you.

can i reverse uno and ask for a playlist for a colder home or —

i feel like i've shouted about it enough but just in case: amateur filmmakers get snowed in at haunted house, spooky stuff ensues!!

So I immediately thought of Until Dawn and therefore MUST put the UD cover of "O Death" right on this playlist for you. There ya go, enjoy that.

"The Ghost" by NIVIRO is a little on-the-nose but I swear I have a deeper reason...and that reason is that in an animation I saw using the song, the ghost's presence was represented by freezing cold and that fits the "snowed in" aspect as well.

"Pink Pony Club x Phantom" mashup by Jacob Sutherland HEAR ME OUT. It's gay, it's a mess, it's dramatic, just like the cast of A Colder Home! Particularly inspired by Declan on this one.
