Ok but actually if you haven’t read Asterism of An F-Series Ford Pick Up you are missing out on some incredible dialogue and such a beautifully written meditation on “what if Dean was soooooooo horny and fucked up about cas driving his truck”
#yes they sleep in the truck bed. yes it’s tense#yes Dean projects his insecurities on a gay truck driver who helps them out#YES THERES A SHOWER SCENE!#fic rec#I may be biased bc I love Grey sooooooooo much but you should still consider it <3

you know what annoys me? people who ship ayano with a certain character (often club leaders or their substitutes) because THEY like the character and then self project onto ayano turning her into fucking Y/N
like holy shit at this point just make a self insert because gema and ayano or itachi and ayano are just. goddamn ridiculous
#i may be biased because i see itachi as gay#and geiju#and i have many hcs that oppose the general views of this fandom#BUT GODDAMN#STOP PROJECTING ONTO AYANO WHEN IT COMES TO SHIPS#JUST MAKE AN OC#yk whats funny#how long these tags can be#i can say anything#and nobody even looks at these#some of these ships are so mid booo#yandere simulator#itachi zametora#ayano aishi#gema taku

you know that one post like "at some point of liking a character you start to imagine them doing whatever you're doing". well I'm watching some internet horror/analog series analysis vids and trying to figure out which ones nikolai would like. so far i think the obvious ones are welcome home (the aesthetic + vibes, being trapped in a situation but smiling wide through it) and monument mythos (conspiracies, it mostly being a satire series). what do you think. do you have any takes, on him or other characters? 👁👁
#i may be biased and projecting. bc those two are my own personal favorites. but also. i make some good points admit it#btw he shows tmc to fyodor who starts out disliking it but ends up stanning gabriel bc how can you not <3#this is a very silly thing to think about but it's fun. i like combining interests

I guess the big thing I’m afraid of when talking abt fandom racism other than yk. harassment lol. is that people will simplify the issue even further and turn my complaints into a very black and white checklist of what is and isn’t good and I hate that!!!! and I know that’s what happens all the time!!!!!
#i see that happening a lot w the tim asian hc#like no it’s not necessarily insidious to bc him as asian esp if you yourself are asian and are just projecting or whatever#but like yeah its a sign that you should reflect over your internal biases and why you may think him being asian#is such a good hc#yk!#personal

its honestly very funny to me when people talk about fictional characters like the author didnt create them. like bestie ... idk how to tell you this but there is no "true" version of the character beneath what the author has written. there is no misunderstanding of their own character. that character is the property of the author and as such, the author understands their vision of the character better than literally anybody else, and because their vision of the character is the "true" version of the character, the character that you see is the character that you get (unless the author just really sucks at communicating ideas, but that's not what we're talking about and we both know it). aka "that fictional character is not a real person and i sure hope you understand that"
#you may wish that they were written differently#or that some parts of their personality were more emphasized than others#but ......... the character is. the author's. like thats it theres no more to it#lorillee.txt#like ''oh but if this character were written by somebody else who wasnt the author they'd be different#bc authors project onto their characters so the author is biased!!'' girl what#if the character was written by somebody else no kidding theyd be different because they'd be a different character!!!!#that doesnt mean there is a ''true'' version of that character. what are you on#anyways ive been seeing a lot of idiocy regarding characters and authors ''misunderstanding'' their own characters from multiple fandoms#and i am ........................................... a little annoyed. and mostly baffled#theres something terribly childish and entitled about looking at somebody else's creation and telling the creator#''well. you dont have a single clue what you're doing. in fact *i* am the only one who understands#and i know the REAL version of your character. not the washed out misinterpreted mess that you're propping up''#like.................. i suppose my question here is. are you stupid. are you genuinely stupid.#like i know we all like to joke about ''haha i know this character better than the author and also everybody else''#but to insist thats actually really true is...... deranged. like you can just say ''well i think my interpretation of the character is#more interesting / more consistent with past characterization / more coherent / etc.''#without saying ''UMMMMM well the author just doesnt understand how complex [character] is :/ ugh i am so much smarter''#in the most entitled arrogant obnoxious way humanly possible despite your portfolio being entirely comprised of 1k word oneshot fanfictions#when the authors you are so decrying are people who have been publishing successful works for decades. lets calm down here bud#i know your english teacher in 7th grade said you were a pleasure to have in class but that doesnt make you an omnipotent god of literature#or give you basic reading comprehension considering the deranged takes you post daily with the utmost confidence#but i digress#anyways im complaining about like at least like 6 different specific people and a hundred nonspecific people who i know think this#across multiple fandoms. but that was probably relatively obvious. im terribly tired of this and i dearly wish some people would#... use their brains. on occasion. think before they post.#anyways its been too long since i made an extensive winding vaguepost with an essay in the tags#old followers may remember the days of olde in which i made. far too many of these#but in my defense the majority of loud people in those fandoms were very annoying and absolutely deserved it

Thinking about how Chara's plan wasn't just to have Asriel go kill some humans, but specifically to have him go kill people from their old village. We have no canon confirmation whatsoever that Chara's village was the closest human settlement to New Home/the underground in general. We have no way of knowing if Chara was going out of its way to target these people specifically.
Idk it's just. *Looks at this* *Looks at Asriel's "I know why Chara climbed the mountain. It wasn't for a very happy reason" line* Hm
#like. the idea that Chara was abused before Falling Down isn't canon but it's a perfectly fair interpretation#biased as I may be bc I love to project my own experiences w transphobia onto Chara#adrien says stuff#utdr#Chara#headcanons analysis au ideas and such

the second I saw the scene I knew people were gonna make it a thing.....I wish she had used the phrase “too much” instead of fat because it could have avoided all this while still making the exact same point. I also do truly believe it was never her intent to hurt anyone, she was being honest about her experience.
I think the biggest thing to remember here is that Taylor did do the honourable thing and listened to people she inadvertently hurt. But it doesn’t change the fact that North Americans have terrible media comprehension, we come at this from the angle of knowing exactly what Taylor is talking about but the GP sees it at face value.
#but it is that thing of like if you have a mental illness you need to remember that you are biased#and you're always going to unintentionally project your insecurities#Rather than count up the list of your insecurities it may be better to analyze why you have them at all#thats what people mean when they say it's fat phobic#it has nothing to do with taylor being fat phobic#any time I'm worried i'm coming across wrong i think like k what would a 5 year olds interpretation of this be#it should be obvious and immediate what the message is when discussing touchy topics

So the destruction of the Institute of Sexology is in a lot of people's minds right now, which is fantastic. In a world where more and more books are being banned, thinking and talking about the extremes of this behavior is absolutely necessary. But I would really like to talk about some actionable steps you can take right now to preserve and uplift queer voices.
Request queer books from your local library (here is a massive list of queer books, it is an affiliate link).
Look into indie queer books that are coming out, the publishing industry is messy at the best times, and we are not in the best of times. I follow Queer Book Box to keep updated on recent indie releases, they are also just an all-around great project.
Do some research and see if there is a queer bookstore near you, and support it if you can.
If reading is a part of your social media presence, it might be worth seeing if you can/want to participate in Trans Rights Readathon.
Buy queer books (see massive list above).
Show up to local meetings/elections.
Email your representative to talk about your concerns if queer book banning is happening in your area.
Support queer projects running right now, I may be biased but Making Queer History is worth checking out, and so is Queer Nature and LGBTQ Reads, but also look local. See what is in your area and see what they need.
Follow and uplift queer projects on social media.
Learn and share queer history.
If you create art and are queer, keep doing that, please do not give up or hide away.
Queer history is being made right now. People are going to look at how we as a community responded to our voices being silenced, and I hope this helps you decide how you want to be a part of that story.

Things I look for in history books:
🟩 Green flags - probably solid 🟩
Has the book been published recently? Old books can still be useful, but it's good to have more current scholarship when you can.
The author is either a historian (usually a professor somewhere), or in a closely related field. Or if not, they clearly state that they are not a historian, and encourage you to check out more scholarly sources as well.
The author cites their sources often. Not just in the bibliography, I mean footnotes/endnotes at least a few times per page, so you can tell where specific ideas came from. (Introductions and conclusions don't need so many citations.)
They include both ancient and recent sources.
They talk about archaeology, coins and other physical items, not just book sources.
They talk about the gaps in our knowledge, and where historians disagree.
They talk about how historians' views have evolved over time. Including biases like sexism, Eurocentrism, biased source materials, and how each generation's current events influenced their views of history.
The author clearly distinguishes between what's in the historical record, versus what the author thinks or speculates. You should be able to tell what's evidence, and what's just their opinion.
(I personally like authors who are opinionated, and self-aware enough to acknowledge when they're being biased, more than those who try to be perfectly objective. The book is usually more fun that way. But that's just my personal taste.)
Extra special green flag if the author talks about scholars who disagree with their perspective and shows the reader where they can read those other viewpoints.
There's a "further reading" section where they recommend books and articles to learn more.
🟨 Yellow flags - be cautious, and check the book against more reliable ones 🟨
No citations or references, or references only listed at the end of a chapter or book.
The author is not a historian, classicist or in a related field, and does not make this clear in the text.
When you look up the book, you don't find any other historians recommending or citing it, and it's not because the book is very new.
Ancient sources like Suetonius are taken at face value, without considering those sources' bias or historical context.
You spot errors the author or editor really should've caught.
🟥 Red flags - beware of propaganda or bullshit 🟥
The author has a politically charged career (e.g. controversial radio host, politician or activist) and historical figures in the book seem to fit the same political paradigm the author uses for current events.
Most historians think the book is crap.
Historical figures portrayed as entirely heroic or villainous.
Historical peoples are portrayed as generally stupid, dirty, or uncaring.
The author romanticizes history or argues there has been a "cultural decline" since then. Author may seem weirdly angry or bitter about modern culture considering that this is supposed to be a history book.
The author treats "moral decline" or "degeneracy" as actual cultural forces that shape history. These and the previous point are often reactionary dogwhistles.
The author attributes complex problems to a single bad group of people. This, too, is often a cover for conspiracy theories, xenophobia, antisemitism, or other reactionary thinking. It can happen with both left-wing and right-wing authors. Real history is the product of many interacting forces, even random chance.
The author attempts to justify awful things like genocide, imperialism, slavery, or rape. Explaining why they happened is fine, but trying to present them as good or "not that bad" is a problem.
Stereotypes for an entire nation or culture's personality and values. While some generalizations may be unavoidable when you have limited space to explain something, groups of people should not be treated as monoliths.
The author seems to project modern politics onto much earlier eras. Sometimes, mentioning a few similarities can help illustrate a point, but the author should also point out the limits of those parallels. Assigning historical figures to modern political ideologies is usually misleading, and at worst, it can be outright propaganda.
Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. "Big theory" books like Guns, Germs and Steel often resort to cherry-picking and making errors because it's incredibly hard for one author to understand all the relevant evidence. Others, like 1421, may attempt to overturn the historical consensus but end up misusing some very sparse or ambiguous data. Look up historians' reviews to see if there's anything in books like this, or if they've been discredited.
There are severe factual errors like Roman emperors being placed out of order, Cleopatra building the pyramids, or an army winning a battle it actually lost.
When in doubt, my favorite trick is to try to read two books on the same subject, by two authors with different views. By comparing where they agree and disagree, you can more easily overcome their biases, and get a fuller picture.
(Disclaimer - I'm not a historian or literary analyst; these are just my personal rules of thumb. But I figured they might be handy for others trying to evaluate books. Feel free to add points you think I missed or got wrong.)

Happy birthday to the number one princess in the world!! 💖
~from her biggest fans :)
ramble of my scattered thoughts on the piece under cut as usual cuz i love talking 😋
This has been an idea I've been cookin for a while, and it was so cluttered and unlike any other ensemble piece I've made... and I decided I oughta do it anyway. I love Miku, I love Vocaloid, and I wanted to do something really ambitious and crazy for her anniversary. Crazy that she's turning her "canon" age this year TwT
I had the idea floating around since like, May...? And then finally started acting on it around June 18. I'm terrible with deadlines, obvious with how I can never make a silly birthday post in time, so I started wayyyy ahead to make sure I have some room to be lazy lol, especially with an idea as ambitious as this.
This was finished on July 12! So I had to sit on this for an annoying amount of time. Very difficult for someone like me who just wants to talk about everything I'm working on to the masses. But at the very least, that gave me the time to work on the draft for this post.
~~~
Here's some ~behind the scenes~ scribbles leading up to the finished piece!
Left is the chicken scratch plan i made in my handy dandy notebook (whenever things are getting real and ambitious, i always made a rough ROUGH plan in there. Usually I'd do a rough pass of the full thing, but this was too complicated for me to do traditionally. I majorly benefited from digital tools to make this possible). CyberDiva and CyberSongman were considered, but I ended up cutting them cuz I just didn't feel like drawing them sorry-- (just pretend they're off to the side. They gave Ruby and Clara the pizza lol).
Right is the "final" completed sketch (before I decided to include Chika mid-way through coloring and VY1 and VY2 near the finish line). I started by drawing the main "groups" separated on a different canvas so I can plop them into the main canvas for easy rearranging and transforming. However I got lazy and ended up drawing everyone in the bottom right corner directly on the canvas since I liked seeing the big picture of everyone's positions. Y'know.
Almost excluded Chika! But I like her design so much that I just felt like including her last-minute. You win this time, Chika fans.
VY1 and VY2 were very close to being cut! I added them when I began doing the banner and thought "eh why not". I figured their non-human designs would be pretty easy to include pushed back in the bg. Ik VY1 is more commonly associated with the fan design, but I referenced the hairpin cuz it was simpler and the fan looked very annoying to draw 😭
Sorry to the fans of many Vocaloids I had to cut because this composition was insane enough as is. I promise I wanted to include fellas like CUL, LUMi and Sachiko 😭 I will admit I was a little biased on who I wanted to include over others. Like, I don't normally care for Bruno and Clara, but I wanted to get some more international 'loids in the mix. Also wanted to stick in the realm of official designs and not fan-designs since, as much as I can appreciate those, are just a whole "wait who is that guy supposed to be" situation I didn't wanna deal with.
I also did wanna include even more character references through the balloons, but they ended up being kind of ugly and overcomplicated the BG :,)
(Oh, and while this was originally planned to be a Vocaloid-only piece, I did end up including Teto, Neru, and Haku 'cuz those are Miku's besties dude!!! They may not be Officially in the club but they're her girls and it would be criminal to not invite them to her birthday).
Anyway, this project marks the first time I've drawn a lot of Vocaloids. Lily, Piko, Rana, Yuki, Yukari, Miki, Maika, and many more lol. All of 'em I've heard or seen in passing, but now I actually drew them, and some have really cool and fun designs!! I got into a habit of drawing Merli after this since I just love her design for example. And I'll probably be drawing more lol!!
Oh and the last thing I'll add for now!! The cake is indeed made up of various song references!! I wanted to reference the "big four" producers, just absolute icons in Vocaloid history. The pink/black checkerboard is "World is Mine" (Ryo), the crescents on the side is "Rolling Girl" (Wowaka), the smiley faces is "Matryoshka" (Hachi), and the three hearts on the side is "The Vampire" (DECO*27, which is sort of a symbol of his whole Mannequin album tbh). I know "The Vampire" is a bit modern but I couldn't think of anything else off the top of my head. I'm a fake DECO fan I know 😔 "Matryoshka" was originally going to be referenced in the colors of the candles but believe me it looked like shit so I just went for something else last minute 😭
That's all I have to say!!! Hope you didn't mind the text wall if you made it here. I hope you like it as much as I do!!!! Happy freakin' birthday Miku!!!!
I have to deal with tagging all these characters now for my page,,, in the drafts my tags got cut off after a certain point so I think I'm massively breaching the tag limit 😭 um... I'll figure that out later...
not losing sleep that i can't tag everyone, even for page organization purposes because some characters have pretty generic names and some are a little hard to see in full yknow. If you're one of those people who tag every character in the art piece you reblog... I am very sorry.

i hit 100 followers while i was asleep (absolutely bananas imo but i’m so thrilled y’all are enjoying my steddie dads verse bc i’ve literally never had so much fun writing before) so here's a sneak peek of a wip featuring the Harrington fam
Eddie does not understand sports.
He may be approaching fifty years old and way past his old ways of rejecting every notion that doesn’t perfectly align with his own interests, but even after all these years, the wires in his brain simply cannot wrap themselves around sports no matter how hard he tries.
And he does try because, naturally, he has three daughters, Moe, Robbie, and Hazel, all of whom play sports.
To be clear – his kids can do literally anything they want, bar none.
He’s still in goddamn awe with the whole arrangement that is the life he lives every day – kids and a house and a job he loves and all that with Steve Harrington of all people. There’s no way Eddie would start fucking all that up by projecting his own weird quirks onto his children. He refuses to be the kind of parent that prevents their kids from doing anything just because they don't get it. If the girls want to play sports, they’re gonna play sports. Nothing wrong with that.
Still, sports are one of those things he takes the back seat and lets Steve hold the reins for, especially now that thirteen-year-old Moe is pretty deep into the whole basketball thing.
Steve understands the politics of the game, both on the court — like knowing which refs are gonna be biased towards which team and noting Moe’s play-time each game — and off. He schmoozes the coach, he’s friends with all the parents, all the things Moe, at thirteen, doesn’t even notice and Eddie, while aware of it, doesn’t understand. He still can barely follow the games themselves (and he goes to as many as he can, though he and Steve are outnumbered by one and with the prospect of the girls carting themselves around still a distant fantasy their schedule is insane so he can’t make them all). He does his best to follow his husband’s lead but Steve doesn’t always react to things the way Eddie thinks he will. He doesn’t bat an eye when a kid gets smacked in the face with a ball, nor at the impossibly loud thud when someone hits the deck (look — he gets the floor is hollow, but it is loud). He’s completely unbothered by the fit Moe throws every game whenever she’s inevitably benched for having an attitude with her opponents or her teammates or the coach or the ref or just about anybody who tries to get in her way.
As is what happened at Moe’s game yesterday.
Eddie hadn’t seen it — well, he’d seen it, but seeing something and understanding what he’s actually looking at are two totally different things. From what he gathers, Moe had missed an easy shot and gotten pissed off in her own little way about it, so she’d launched herself at whoever on the opposing team had gotten their hands on the ball after it ricocheted off the backboard. Unfortunately for Moe, the team they were playing had a reputation for being a little too aggressive for a middle school league, so when she’d hit the ground, she hit it hard. Moe had been pulled off the court by her coach (carded, maybe? Eddie still isn’t sure how that works in basketball) and scowled on the bench for the rest of the game.
Steve had tried to reason with her on the drive home (an interesting choice, in Eddie’s opinion).
“Darling,” he’d said, “I totally understand being upset about missing a layup, but I don’t know how to get it through your head that intentionally fouling someone isn’t the way to go about resolving that emotion. I love you and I support you, but I’m getting tired of watching you play for three minutes and then sit on the bench for the rest of the game.”
“Talk to the coach then,” Moe had grumbled.
“About what?” Steve exclaimed, “Moe — you do it on purpose!”
The conversation had ended not long later because Moe decided to give them both the silent treatment (a clear sign that she knew she was in the wrong even if she didn’t want to admit it) and Eddie thought that was the end of it (for that game, at least). Then, Moe threw them a curveball by spending most of that evening in the bathroom throwing up, at which point she admitted that her head had caught more of that fall during her basketball game than she’d originally let on.
Steve doesn’t mess around with head injuries (for obvious reasons), so the next morning he calls Moe out of school and brings her to their pediatrician to get checked out.
A couple hours after Robbie and Hazel boarded the school bus bound for their elementary school, Steve and Moe return home.
“So what's the verdict?” Ed asks as they enter the kitchen.
“She's concussed,” Steve announces.
“Like father, like daughter.”
“No sports, no bright lights, no reading, no school, no phone,” Steve says pointedly, and Moe only scowls harder. She’d been using the incident as a leveraging tactic in her crusade to get a phone. Not being able to play sports was a no-brainer; they’d all seen that one coming, so even as recently as this morning, she’d been claiming that she’ll “die of boredom without a phone,” while she recovers.
Even as recently as this morning, she’d been largely unsuccessful.
“Thirteen-year-old children do not need phones,” Steve had told her, “If someone wants to talk to you, they can call the house, and if it's urgent enough that it needs to be right now, you can get walkie talkies.”
“No one uses walkie talkies.”
“Your dad and I used walkie talkies all the time.”
“Uh, pretty sure it was just the one time, Steve,” Eddie pointed out.
“Yeah! And it worked out great!”
CONTINUE ON AO3
#did it work out great? or is steve's memory of 1986 a little fuzzy in 2014?#eddie is trying his best#basketball is very hard to follow if you don't know the game#as I have learned :/#steddie#liv’s steddie dads verse#steddie dads#steve harrington#eddie munson
