hey writers if you want to make a metaphor for racism, please maybe remember that racism is literally based on nothing. Africans weren’t enslaved en masse because the Robo-Musa threatened to destroy the world, they were enslaved because it was economically rewarding and politically convenient. If at any point your allegory for racism includes “so <oppressed group> did this major catastrophe and” then you have not only missed the point but you are literally reinforcing the ideas that racism have let racism self-perpetuate (that e.g. black people are naturally dangerous and violent and must be contained or begrudgingly accepted by the Nice White People)

“All identities are a PRISON i will not be put into a BOX”

I won’t be put into a box either, but the lesbian identity is not a box for me. The lesbian identity, to me, is freeing. I was in a prison (metaphorically) before I realized I was lesbian. I find solace in the word lesbian. Some people find their peace in the words gay, bi, trans, etc. They might not be for you, and that’s okay. You can identify as queer, you can not use any labels at all. Wonderful. But to think they aren’t useful for anyone? Mind boggling. We aren’t in a post-homophobic post-misogynistic post-transphobic world (yet).

If you don’t fit into an identity, it doesn’t mean that nobody does. And maybe you should respect our identities; their meanings, their histories, what it implies our life experiences to be. Also know that the cishets have already been trying to erase & ridicule the words lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, nonbinary, etc.

Every time AO3 makes an update, there’s a chorus of ‘and can we please please please be able to leave kudos on each chapter pleeeeease?!?!’

In theory, this is a nice idea. We’ve all smashed the kudos button on our favourite fics, bemoaning the fact we can’t give them all the love.

But ya’ll, kudos per chapter would absolutely fucking suck.

For readers, it would suck because it would compound the existing problem of making it hard to find fics that are good and not just long - not that a fic can’t be both! But there are plenty of Pulitzer-worthy one-shots out there that are buried way way down the list when ranked by number of kudos, because they’re beneath a bunch of 50/? fics where the author lost sight of where the hell the story was going 30 chapters ago, but their fic has had 50x the chances to be viewed so has more kudos. It would encourage authors to release their fics in lots of little chapters instead of a few longer ones/one-shots as they might otherwise have done (and as might otherwise suit the story).

And for authors it would especially suck, as it would compound the existing problem of people not commenting. Kudos are very much appreciated, but comments make an author’s day; but so few people bother, and frankly, it’s disheartening. Let people just click a button to show their appreciation for each new chapter? The hits:kudos:comments ratio would get even worse than it already is.

You can already ‘give kudos’ for each chapter of a fic on AO3 - by commenting. Hell you can literally write ‘kudos!’ It will make the author smile, I promise.

I actually never thought about it like this. If you are a fic writer or reader you should definitely read this 👆

Go on, take it :)

btw i have crazy respect for so called “horse girls.” they’re not weird. they have an intense connection with a creature. maybe we’d all be happier if we had an intense connection with a creature 

AAVE is not TikTok Slang 

AVE is not TikTok slang, not generational slang etc. It's AAVE that gets popularized by others in their communities and repeated to the point online of it being labeled as such. Point blank. Thanks for coming to my TedTalk 🙃

tastes are subjective, except for mine which set the standard. hope this helps

Stress free

Thank you.

The difference between my PROBLEM & my PROBLEMS.

Black girls deserve to see themselves in soft aesthetics too. We like Royalcore, Matcha dates, picnics, soft dances, book shopping with our lovers, and even more! We want to be embraced. That’s the types of content I’m making <3

I made a what the fandom thinks of you generator
