billy thinking he’s experiencing literal hell when he gets flayed specifically because that’s what neil told him happens to people like that is such an interesting concept actually

Uh, what if I were to mention the events of Astro Knights and that Mordred “killed” Merlin.

i want to create but im always out if ideas and whrn i do create something theres always something wrong with it and i just am never satisfied

the only good thing about my job is that every now and then my coworkers will mention something about trauma that describes me that i didn't know i experienced due to cptsd and then i get to subtly be like OHH ✍️✍️📝 okay that's why im like that

i’m usually pretty lenient about sharing (even with my no sharing f/os; i try to be cordial n shit) but in the nicest way possible i need people who ship with lucian and senna romantically to stay as far away from me as possible

Recent major pet peeve I have is how non-binary people will say they're not a man or a woman, but a "person". It drives me wild, like of course you're a person, that's what everyone is first and foremost. I guess it's a result of sexism and being seen as your gender first, but oh my god you're not gonna solve that by saying you're not a man or a woman. I understand the reasoning but it upsets me, like I'm not less of a "person" because I'm not non-binary, nor are you more of one bc you are non-binary

It's like I've said in other posts, it's going about things the wrong way. If your upset with how sexism makes the world view you because of your gender, opting out of the gender won't stop anyone from treating you the same way as they did before. It won't change anything.

Now, saying, "I'm a women/man. But I'm a person first. And that should mean something," would actually create some meaning. And if you combine that with actions to actually combat sexism you'll find change significantly more likely to occur.

Because how we view gender roles is a super important topic. How you can express yourself be it gender presentation, being trans, being cis, being LGBT, or even just being straight is all effected by gender roles. Not defined by-- but effected by (key distinction. All those things exist outside of gender roles, but gender roles effect how we can express them). And I wish that was the focus, not throwing others under the bus like I've seen time and time again.

Reading the earliest issues of Fangoria for the first time & I had no idea it started out so. Vaguely defined

Like it didn't start as a horror magazine it started as a "Starlog for fantasy", but also it did cover sci-fi films too, and devoted most coverage to horror, but had some fantasy trappings?

Not surprised to look it up & learn that it almost died off before they retooled it into a horror magazine, I can't see why someone who already bought Starlog would want this and tbh I don't think there were enough "fantasy, but not sci-fi or horror" films then or now to keep a magazine solely about them alive

They complain that they had to call it Fangoria since their first choice, Fantastica, was taken, but like, if they'd been stuck with a more fantasy-centric name I wonder if they would've been able to retool at all (or if they'd just...have changed it to Fangoria anyway)
