Lady, EVOLVED @Lady@cat.family

it is mildly distressing however that fans see people approaching their art with a mentality that all criticism and interrogation is suspect, that analysing the human costs and effects of a work is misguided and wrong, and that every form of speech, no matter how vile, is equally valuable and worthy of preservation—that fans see these takes brought out again and again and yet expect something other than the same old fascism from the people who make them

you say you listen to queer elders? ok name five of their songs

it’s really obvious from like a few seconds which moderators actually care about the safety of the people here, and which moderators care about cultivating a certain kind of liberal space or discussion platform with no considerations made for the fundamental vulnerabilities of being human, or not Enough for them to sacrifice their perfect vision of Liberalism in favour of actual measures to protect users

if your posts are indistinguishable from that of a CIA plant trying to sow controversy and foil collective action, maybe consider making different posts

the kind of idle linkfollowing which people now see as relegated to sites like Wikipedia or TVTropes was once how the entire internet operated

also begging fanfic writers to read every sentence and go “is that right?? or did the LLM in my brain just conjure that?”

there are cases in english where italics ARE necessary or at least beneficial (case in point) but it is not in describing how CUTE somebody was

if you are an author, please, i beg of you, just take like, a year off from italics, and only add them back in once you’re comfortable writing like that

i think they should ban italics on fanfiction sites

they’ve clearly picked what parts of their craft they want to hone and spent many years doing it, having chosen the ones which are most offensive to me personally

this author is very good at writing sentences i hate

if you ever propose to her, be prepared for this

@aescling: hahahaha “take me to church” lol

the whole deal with Venus Xtravaganza definitely hits harder having been on the fediverse in 2017

modern american chivalry (stopping for pedestrians at crosswalks)

just got asked to make a vow of undying love and affection but jokes on you i’m a DOG

the power of napping on your girlfriend’s tits…

i would like to hire someone to develop a font for me but i am certain i do not have the money to hire someone to actually develop a font for me

there¦s a lot going on

just read “forces” as “forecs” and spent a long time trying to figure out what that means

nintendo is allowed to age up their characters for horny reasons but they pulled it off a lot better with purah is all i’m saying

nintendo: we want riju to be hot but she was a child in the last game, how do we fix this
nintendo: let’s just say gerudo grow really fast

i’m giving this fanfic an intentionally complicated history so it will be impossible to tell which parts actually happened, which are interventions on the part of hylia, which are interventions on the part of a certain zelda, which were added to drum up sales…

me: gaepora is large and looks like an owl. consequently, people liked to call him “big bird”

you, four chapters later when the realization hits:

in all fairness this is a fanfic about zelda which doesn’t even introduce her until like the fourth chapter so realistically it’s gonna bomb no matter what i do
