I should note, I hate the soulmates "we would fall in love in every universe" trope for the aforementioned "where's the tension and interest and really anything worthwhile" reasons. However, "we would find each other in every universe" fucking rips. We would interact meaningfully in every universe but sometimes we are lovers and sometimes we are friends and sometimes we are bitter enemies and sometimes we'd simply both be in the same HOA.

you know that quote "when you have a hammer everything looks like a nail" bc that's how i feel whenever i have a lysol wipe in my hand

i must not stir the pot. stirring the pot is the notifications-killer. participation in the discourse is the little-death that brings total activity obliteration. i will face the bad opinions on the internet. i will permit them to pass over me and through me. and when they have gone past, i will turn the block button onto their source. where the discourse has come from there will be nothing. only i will remain.

anyway the actual point of fandom is to inspire each other. reading each other's fics and admiring each other's art and saying wow i love this and i feel something and i want to invoke this in other people, i want to write a sentence that feels like a meteor shower, i want to paint a kiss with such tenderness it makes you ache, i want to create something that someone else somewhere will see it and think oh, i need to do that too, right now. i am embracing being a corny cunt on main to say inspiring each other is one of the things humanity is best at and one of the things fandom is built for and i think that's beautiful

me: dress how you want!! gender is fake!!! nothing matters!!!!!!

trans person: i like gender tho

me: hell yeah i respect that!!!! i apologize and don’t mean to dismiss your identity with my optimistic nihilism!!!!!!!

Fandom Problem #4403:

Do fanpol know that most "normal people" are capable of watching / reading problematic or questionable content, properly identifying certain parts are problematic or questionable, going "yeaahh that part was a little yikes" then continue on watching / reading as normal without having a meltdown over it or accusing the author and every other person who's read / watched and enjoys it an any capacity of endorsing every single action and idea presented in the work?

Sometimes its necessary to go "yikes" and then move on with your fucking life. If the "yikes" is TOO Yikes for you to continue on, that's totally fine, but don't act like everyone else having a higher Yikes tolerance think everything is absolutely fine.

although I find both institutions detestable I think they should force the vatican to compete in the Olympics. let's see what those priests can do

As a non Jew, I imagine some people might find it odd that I talk and post about antisemitism as often as I do.

What I've seen and read and heard over the last 6 months is so horrifying and repulsive, the level of abuse and violence and hatred levelled at Jews for just existing and living their lives is so utterly appalling to me, it is not enough for me just to be quietly not antisemitic, I feel it's my moral duty to be as loudly and as unapologetically an ally as I can possibly be.

Never Again is now. I will not remain silent.

Dev Patel in MONKEY MAN (2024)

unsung benefit i think a lot of ppl are sleeping on with using the public library is that i think its a great replacement for the dopamine hit some ppl get from online shopping. it kind of fills that niche of reserving something that you then get to anticipate the arrival of and enjoy when it arrives, but without like, the waste and the money.

me admiring a beautiful man: wow he sure does have a vulnerable looking throat, huh?
