Hey there! Do you perhaps have more Tempest and AJ stuff? Maybe some headcannons? You've planted worms into my brain

But wait, theres more!!

#basically the story goes #after the visit to the kirin village #aj kept in touch with autumn through letters and their romance slowly began to develop #after a while autumn came to ponyville because she never really ended up reacclimating to her village #and she wanted to learn more about ponies #applejack invited her to stay at the farm and things progressed from there #for aj and tempest #after the events of the movie twilight still wanted to keep an eye on tempest #and tempest still had a lot of anger for the way she had been treated by the world #so twi was like “hey aj do you want to help her work through her lingering rage through exercise and manual labor”#and aj was like “YES MA'AM I'LL TAKE THE HOT CHICK”#and proceeded to flirt with her for the entire time she was required to be on the farm #and then once her time was up tempest was like “you know... i could stay-”#and there ya go #tempest and autumn werent dating at first but that changed after a few months #art #digital art #mlp #fanart #mlp g4 #mlp fanart #my little pony #mlp tempest shadow #tempest shadow #mlp tempest #tempestjack #autumnjack #tempestblaze #?#if tempestjack is a rare ship that one us even rarer

Thanksgiving hit like a wrecking ball this year, so here’s my one Extremely Unexpected Organization Tip that I discovered a few years ago and am still vaguely mad about:

If you have stuff you do on a daily/semi-daily basis, organize it like you would if you knew you were going to need someone who’s very rarely over at your house to take care of it for you for a week.

If you wouldn’t email a neighbor or your work-spouse and be like “Okay, the dog food is here, and the dog treats are over there, and the dog toys are here, here, and here, and the dog medication is hidden in yet another location--” then ideally you shouldn’t be inflicting that same situation on yourself.

Pick a spot that makes sense and aggregate as much of the Task Stuff there as you can. Doing that means that if you can’t find something, you’re checking one place first instead of five different places before trying to retrace your steps and remember which wrong place you left it in. If you go to put something away, you’ve got one place you’re dumping everything instead of having to think about which of five places this particular thing goes. It can also make it much more obvious if you need more of something, have too much of something, or will need to replace/repair something soon.

#this post brought to you by #my mother's raging thanksgiving headache #me and my siblings' inability to find a goddamn thing in her kitchen #and the letter D #life advice

in today's letter: gaius matius claims to be friendly with cicero but is decidedly pissed off! he doesn't think killing caesar fixed anything! he doesn't care if people know how upset he is! he thinks the assassins are hypocrites! he has the highest hopes for 'young caesar'! aaahhh!

about e-pistulae | previous letters | subscribe to emails from cicero?

#tagamemnon #cicero #e-pistulae #definitely read this one because a) it's a very different take on Events from most of the rest of the collection #and b) he is soooooo seething with rage and grief and if you look closely there are Many parts of this letter #than you can read as being mean about cicero. politely. which is fun

My dearest flickering Flame,

I find myself alone, 4 a.m, writing you another apology. For I am never finished. And I have broken a promise.

You see, it is already Monday, it came so soon! And I had said I would have more for you. But you see, I have been caught up in you once again and the days they surpass me, time eludes me, escapes me - as I find a shelter within you, for the duration of the last week.

I will finish what I started for you and I hope as much as you do it may come along soon. There are other matters to attend to, though, that have left me unbelievably mad. And what can one do with mad?

I am not certain. I have spent my entire existence with a rage, born with it, and have yet to find any good for it.

All I do know, is it is not for you. I must rid myself of these feelings before I can return to my promises.

I understand I have already broken them. But the day is young, yet. The sun hasn't even begun to light the horizon. Perhaps I can clear my mind and be okay before the night time. We shall hope and see.

Sincerely, with guilt,

Your broken and violent girl

:33 < sick and tired of polyamory not being accepted in the lgbtqia2s+ community. come on. it is 2024 and we still cant accept our own community because "oh polyams are just weird straights who date multiple people" NO ?? MY GOODNESS THIS IS THE "aroace isnt valid in the community" ALL OVER AGAIN. WE AS A COMMUNITY DONT HAVE TO EXCLUDE. WE SHOULD INCLUDE. BE TOGETHER AS ONE. UNITY. NO FIGHTING AGAINST LABELS, GENDER, WHAT IS "VALID" AND WHAT ISNT. we spend YEARS fighting for our rights just to exclude LABELS ???! THIS IS NOT WHAT WE FOUGHT FOR. WE HAVE THE FREEDOM TO EXPRESS OURSELVES WITH LABELS, AND YET "reddit_user69" DECIDED "polyam isnt valid cause its actually like a weird version of straights"

B33 < in my eyes polyamory is a valid apart of the community

B33 < and no, idont mean as "cousins" of the community, or being "similar" to it, imean being apart of it.

:33 < if you support lgbtqia2s+ community then actually support it. support your community. "weird" identities. xenogenders. polyams. bipoc queers. disabled queers. gnc trans people. "obscure" and "contradictory" labels. yea youre accepting of the queer community, but are you actually ?? cause youdont sound too sure of it.

"Proshipper" is a Homonym

TL;DR for those of you who don't want to read: Both sides of this argument believe that the word "proshipper" means something entirely different, and it's because of the censorship push by people rehashing purity culture who don't understand that fiction doesn't become real life. --- Because I partake in fandom culture, I see anti vs proshipper discourse all the time. We all know it's there, and one of the biggest causes for that discourse is the fact that the term "proshipper" has evolved into a homonym.

A homonym is a word that has the same spelling and usually sounds same, but can be used to mean entirely different things when placed in a different context. A quick and easy example of this is the word "bark" which can refer to tree bark, or the sound a dog makes. Another is "watch," which can be used to tell the time or to tell someone to look at something.

Proshipper, is now one of these words.

Anyone who's ever done a deep dive into fandom culture knows that "proshipper" originally meant that someone was okay with shipping characters from the source material. The prefix "pro" means "for" or "forward," like in the word "progress" (to go forwards). There was then those who were against shipping characters from the source material, who called themselves "anti-shippers," later shorted to "antis." "Anti" means against or oposite of. It's fairly easy to keep track of, but I'm breaking down the prefixes of the words for a reason.

As fandom's began to explode in popularity, it was less easy to control what people could be exposed to, and what they wouldn't be. This angered certain people, and while I could get into every detail of how the rhetoric of "if you write/draw/read about [xyz] in fiction then you're immoral in real life," is nothing more than an expansion of purity culture censorship and is a rehashing of "if you see gay people, you'll become gay," I won't.

The point is, when people began to get angry at the existance of things they didn't personally enjoy, they began to call those things problematic. Just like in most foot-in-the-door cases, they started with anything including abuse, incest, pedophilia and other trauma---which is often use as a coping mechanism, but again not the time---in order to catch a wider audience, and then they began adding other things they disliked under the umbrella of "problematic" and "immoral." When the realization that much of fandom participated in shipping, it was broaded from genres and stories as a whole into shipping itself.

When this happened, they took the popular term "proshipper," and said that the prefix was short for "problematic." They then use this to group even the most innocent of shippers into the same category as those who wrote gore, incest, murder, ect. They then twisted this to say that every proshipper supported all of those things happening in real life.

I would like to now point out the definiton of fiction as taken from Oxford dictionary:

literature in the form of prose that describes imaginary events and people.

something that is invented or untrue.

Fiction is often used to explore people's real life trauma, but even in cases when it isn't, that doesn't mean that people whouldn't write about it in untrue instances that have no way to harm real life people. Many "immoral" things are often used to show that someone is a villain, or has survived something terrible, but it can be used for so many other things as well. And that, is the point of it being fiction. It's not real, so it can be use to explore any number of things for any number of reasons without harming real people.

However, that has not stopped a mass amount of antis claiming that those who create anything they disagree with is "immoral," hence the rise of the belief that "proshipping" means "problematic shipping." Now, what any given anti believes is problematic is unique to the individual, but like in all cases of censorship, if an inch is given, a mile will be taken.

Now because of the change in language, one might think that this is a case of a change in semantics, but that's untrue. While there is always going to be a time period where a word whose meaning is changing is used in both ways, it's typically not this consistent. Take the word "cute," for example. It was originally a shorteningof the word "acute," and was written with an apostrophe to replace the a. It meant "sharp or quick witted," but in the 1830s, it took on the meaning we know it to have today. A better example of this could be any piece of modern slang. Take your pick.

"Proshipper," on the other hand, is used by antis to mean "problematic shipping," and by most proproshippers to mean "for shipping/shipping is okay." Some proshippers do use it the same way antis do as a warning of the content that is on their page. Irregardless, the equal use of both meanings marks the word's change into a homonym.

As you have no doubt seen from the sheer amount of discourse that is always present, this leads to many instances of confusion. It also gets many innocent people harassed by antis who believe they have the moral high ground, as if their actions are not harming real people, unlike the things that they are against, which only affect fiction.
