there's something deeply gutting about being a writer right now. watching studio execs brag about starving people like you out of your very house just to not pay you anything above the pennies you currently make. watching some people cheer over AO3 being targeted for a DDOS attack. the complete lack of profitability of writing commissions or writing in general in transformative spaces, especially in contrast to fanart. the pivot of so many social media platforms to be video and image based near-exclusively.
I don't know. it just makes me sad to know that the hobby that kept me alive while growing up homeschooled with dial-up internet and local antenna TV... is only ever gonna be a side job with minimal engagement. I know this site is good about supporting libraries and the concept of books but, do me a favor? Reach out to a writer friend you know.

Brutal death metal songs are always named like Corpse Discharge Pit or Tortured Cannibal Fetus but I have to say that a song named "Cystic Ovarian Burial Ground" wins the price.

eowyn should have been a lesbian. Eowyn/faramir is like, fine, but it misses the point of eowyn for all baby dyke eowyn stans which is not that she longs for glory in battle and doesn't realize war is ugly and brutal, but that she's caught between two awful options and she doesn't want to be given one based on her gender. She's not in love with aragorn, she envies him because she finds the tasks he has in life more preferable and she hero worships him. Is this the point Tolkien was trying to make? Well, no,

i like how most of arturia's "crines" mentioned in that lore thing the official twitter account posted involve stuff like
- inspiring a guy to declare himself emperor and campaign for rights for the infected
- getting a group of victorian soldiers to desert and become farmers instead of raiding a taran theatre
- whimsically lifting an elderly care home into the air with balloons and arts, to give the residents a bit of fun exitement :)
it gives a fun credence to the idea of her being laterano's criminal number one being less about her being the evilest person ever, and more bc she doesn't play by their (discriminatory and oppressive) rules

A very funny side effect of superhero comics having such a long history and being the work of so many different people is that your fave has 100% done something that should have gotten them locked up in an insane asylum.
The best example of this is Jason Todd, who, the very first chance he gets after being resurrected from the dead: breaks into a high-security facility dressed in a Party City version of his old superhero outfit to beat the child who replaced him as Robin half to death (Jason was quite literally dead at the time) for the crime of replacing him, while IGNORING THE FACT THAT HE HIMSELF PREVIOUSLY REPLACED DICK GRAYSON AS ROBIN
(Dick was not dead at the time) (the level of cognitive dissonance required for this would put Two Face to shame) (please search up Jason Todd Robin costume and imagine a six foot tall man wearing that and trying to be intimidating)

Just listened to "Want it so BAD", the new song by Han and Lee Know and, after reading the lyrics twice, let me tell you:
If there's still people who claim they're just friends, I'll lose my faith in humanity. Those guys are the real delulu here because what the fuck? With this song they basically confirmed everything we've heard since debut and screamed to the world they're, in fact, very much in love and not in a platonic way. They're married, your honour. This song basically confirms it, it states firmly and without a shadow of doubt that MINSUNG is fucking REAL and it has been since the survival show.
So for all those who don't agree with it, go argue with the wall. Us, the minsung whores and defenders, are going to fucking celebrate this gift to humanity.
Now lets focus on the parts where they specifically mention their first meeting, something we've heard from both of them in skz episodes, but now the uncensored version.
Minho: "I fell in love with you unexpectedly, couldn't get any work done, so many thoughts in my head keep me awake at night, spring snuck into my heart and left me frozen with excitement, i'm not used to it i know it's pain but i really want it so BAD" 😭😭😭😭😭 this is so minsung pre-debut coded omg, he's so fucking cute in the early states of love. knowing he was going to suffer but he loved him so much he just kept going.
Jisung: "Ride, come closer, just the two of us"🥺🥺 "together we make a whole romantic comedy movie" "let's get is started, getting anxious, can't think straight" "love you, i wanna place mysef in a spot next to you" "i'll hold you tight and say i've always been waiting for this moment" "the moment I first saw you, it was meant to be. For me, it's you"💀💀💀💀💀my man wasn't even being subtle here, he didn't try
In conclusion: Minsung is more real and solid that my parents' marriage and anyone who disagrees please come and kiss my ass. thank you❤
