21, she/her. Bad at everything, including usernames. I’m not that interesting tbh but I have recently started a journal blog if you want to know more about my life just let me know
I really think everyone needs to truly internalize this:
Fictional characters are objects.
They are not people. You cannot “objectify” them, because they have no personhood to be deprived of. They have no humanity to be erased. You cannot “disrespect” them, because they are not real.
I know this has good intentions, so I will just add the “how you treat them, even as objects of fiction, can speak about your own character, be careful out there”
Your addition is actually completely antithetical to my message. It is literally the opposite of what I am conveying.
Stop telling people to encourage the cop inside their head.
How you treat fictional characters, given they are entirely objects of fiction, does NOT necessarily speak to your own character, and you do not need to be “careful”.
It is not dangerous to imagine dark things happening to fictional characters. It does not mean you are secretly a bad person. It does not mean you unconsciously want to hurt people in real life. It is not a “slippery slope” to doing bad things to people in real life. You cannot damage your brain or turn yourself into a bad person by consuming “dark” fanfic.
I can write tentacle noncon of my favorite character all day long and be a fierce anti-sexual assault advocate in real life because what I do in my head is not the same thing as what I do in real life.
If you see that Amazon is a great place to work, you know it was an article paid for by Amazon.
amazon has 1.3 million worldwide employees according to a quick google search. approximately 1000 injuries per 10000 employes - aka one-tenth of all the people who work full time in amazon warehouses.
a conservative estimate would probably put the amount injured at 100,000 people. ONE HUNDRED FUCKING THOUSAND PEOPLE.
the incestuous, wrong connotations david fury is trying to implement between buffy and spike in “lies my parents told me” by casting an actress that looks like smg as spike’s mom and giving her buffy’s middle name is wholly transparent – and falls completely flat. fury is soooo desperate to paint spuffy as this depraved pairing, going so far as to allude to spike’s interest in buffy as similar to being in love with his mom (??) hello! this makes no sense but it’s what he’s trying to do here…. which is hilariously ironic given that drusilla literally has the line “i’m the other that gave birth to your son” in this episode.
with buffy spike is his own person (he is a person!!!). he’s no longer his mother’s son. and he’s no longer dru’s creation. he is COMPLETELY HIS OWN.
After almost a decade on this site, I found another Tumblr user in the wild. I stopped to tie my shoe with rainbow laces this morning outside the silversmith at Colonial Williamsburg, and I heard it.
“I like your shoelaces.”
Oh. Oh no.
I responded the only way I could. “Thanks.” And then I reluctantly added, “I stole them from the president…and if that makes sense to you, I’m very sorry.”
The poor man, in full Colonial dress, stared at me for a long moment. And then burst into laughter. And said, “I haven’t thought about that in YEARS and this has never happened to me before.”
Psst… don’t tell the Dark Lord, but I’ve gotten my grubby little paws on the artefact that is the source of His sinister power, but also His one weakness.
Oh hey what’s up girl, me and the Dark Lord were just talking, we were wondering if you wanted to hang out and play Mario Kart together
Oh, hey, haha. Yeah, sorry, I can’t play Mario Kart right now. I’m a bit busy packing this adventury haversack and looking through my rolodex of trusty companions, for non-artefact related reasons. You know how it is. Thursdays, am I right?
That’s cool, some other time then. :) oh yeah, the Dark Lord wanted to know if you’d seen the artefact that is the source of His sinister power, but also His one weakness? Thing is He could swear He had it with Him at board game night at your place and He hasn’t seen it since.
Wow, really? That's… that’s weird. Nope, haven’t seen it. Oh, just completely unrelated, do you still have that map to the four elemental dungeons where the crystals are kept? And could I borrow it for a while?
Yeah, sure! Me and the guys just finished speedrunning the elemental dungeons the other day, you can have it for as long you need. :) Dang those crystals are cool, I hope no one steals them.
So, um, this is awkward, but Morningwood the Elf just let slip in the boys’ groupchat that you’d invited him to join your Fellowship, but you didn’t invite the Dark Lord. You know how He gets, He pretends that He’s alright with it, but He’s sulking in His dark tower and is listening to My Chemical Romance on repeat and talking about a thousand years of darkness. Could you please talk to Him? I hate seeing Him like this.
