Was anyone gonna tell me that the term "nibling" has actually been around since the goddamn 50s?!

Apparently it was first coined in freaking 1951 by a Mister Samuel E. Martin — everyone say, "Thank you, Martin."

I thought it was a new thing, only popped up in the last decade or so at most ... but now you're telling me that the term "nibling" is actually older than my dad?? Like, what????

#nibling #etymology #words #samuel e. martin #gender neutral language #nonbinary #non binary #my dad: est. 1955 / nibling: est. 1951 #i am shocked and delighted #language #langblr #ngl the reason i was reading this was actually bc i didn't like the term nibling and was trying to find/come up with something better #(i didn't like that i'd always hear it as “nibbling”) #the fact that it's been around since 1951 (even if only in specific circles) has made me far more comfortable with it #if i ever hear someone gripe about it irl i'm gonna start spitting facts like “did you know it was actually coined in 1951?!” 😃 #nb #enby #gender neutral terms

I wrote a Pre Milo x Reader story! I wasn't sure whether to put it on Quotev Or Archive of Our Own, so I'm putting it on both of them. I'm sending you the link to it on quotev: quotev. com / story/ 16231765 / Saccharine-Love. I cant put the complete link, so just push the spaced off words together to get the link.

No way?? My first fanfiction ever??? And it's so cute!! I also read your The Science of Staying Awake one. I love it and I will read it five billion more times.

Worm!Ingo has watered my crops and cleared my skin, I love him so much~

I just wanted to tell you that in the comic with him growling at the jerk grabbing at Emmet, I couldn't help but hear Ino's angry noises as like, the low rumble of distant, speeding train wheels against a track. I imagine if he ever did the Angry Poke-Scream, it would be akin to the rusty screech of train brakes right next to someone's ear. Absolutely terrifying. (Gotta protect that little bro!)

that's exactly what i was trying to convey!! so glad it came across!!!!

he makes train noises :)

#anyway. thank u!!! so much!!! i am Delighted! at how much people are enjoying this #and shocked because there are a LOT of people enjoy this and engaging with it! i think I've gotten more asks within the past few days than #the entire time ive had this blog #which is not bad! im so happy that people love my silly little worm so much! i am just incredibly surprised #i think ive gained at least a hundred followers from Worm alone #answered #not art #ghost worm au

I’m not going to reblog the post itself because I don’t want that behavior on my blog, but oh my god I just saw a post about “looking for fics about your favorite character on ao3” and good lord the amount of bad takes both in that post and in the notes?? I have to just ramble about this for a moment because oh my god. it was ludicrous.

people were complaining that, and get this, unfinished fics exist. and that if you read an unfinished fic you’ll have to, get this, wait to read more until it’s published next. they were allll up in arms that there’s fics for a character that don’t cater to their specific interests. that they involve other characters and either do/don’t put them in a romantic relationship when they want the opposite for the character.

like at this point, most of you people in the notes on that post are 1) just being mean and condescending about FREE WORKS you can, may I remind you, READ FOR FREE and EXIT at ANY time! if you don’t like it!, don’t read it!, it’s so simple!, and 2) straight up do not know how ao3 works lmao

like I saw soooo many people in the notes complaining about a certain ship, dynamic, tag, etc, and like… y’all know you can filter by romantic vs platonic pairings, by ratings, by excluding certain tags or other qualifiers, etc etc etc… you know about ao3’s actually incredibly usable filtering and searching system… right… right??

at this point I’m just convinced a lot of these people are spoiled by large fandoms with 100k+ works for their characters and have decided to just be mean and condescending for no reason on main, about literally free fan works you can read for free any time that people spend hours and hours pouring their free time into out of sheer love for their craft. cuckoo bananas behavior if you ask me 🫠

I was legit so close to commenting that maybe they should try shipping two characters with <10 fics, with 0 fics, try liking a rare pair, try hyperfocusing on a character or niche type of fandom with a tiny but lovely circle of fans, and stop treating fan works and fic as Content TM that they deserve to have handed to them that caters to exactly what they want for free and maybe they’ll calm down lmao

like y’all aren’t cool you’re just being mean. we fundamentally approach fic in wildly different ways and honestly the way you do sounds exhausting. literally could not be me, I’m to busy finding joy in shared love for characters and not flipping the table in a rage because there’s one (1) element of the fic that isn’t specifically catered to me, maybe try that and you’ll feel better, hmm?

and yeah I’m aware that last sentence is me being condescending towards them, but frankly it’s warranted when so many people are being that mean and haughty for no reason lmao but truly those takes were horrific. fellow fic writers and even fellow fic readers I interact with, am mutuals with, authors whose works I read, readers who comment and interact with my works, fans of niche fandom subsets that run in the same circles as me— I hope you know this is so wildly not how I approach fics, I love just finding fics for my characters and forming these lil communities where we share our interests and love for them and hype each other up. I love what we have in these fandom niches and I hope you know I would never dream of being so mean and condescending towards y’all. fic writers and readers and fan communities are so special and I cherish it even if clearly there’s people in the notes on that other post who don’t know how to do that lmao. I love your unfinished WIPs, I love your fics that may only partially be what I’m looking for, I love when you write characters in a way I wouldn’t expect but shows your love for your particular headcanon, I love the variety and diversity and variance in fic. I love us. genuinely. fic writer moots I am hugging all of you and I frequently reread your works, even the unfinished ones. ♡

#personal #god this turned into a rant but sometimes I’m just shocked by how.. mean and condescending and holier-than-thou some people can be about fic #about works people write FOR FREE because they LOVE a character/ dynamic/ etc so much they can’t NOT let that love pour out into a fic tjat #once again you can READ FOR FREE HELLO #like god. maybe those people need to try not being a condescending bench (to quote Eleanor) and maybe they’ll feel better and be able to ac #tually participate in the wonder and joy and delight that is fan communities and fic communities idk man #I’m convinced some of it is people being spoiled by large fandoms and also not knowing how ao3 works at all #but like. this is not a streaming service this is an ARCHIVE it is a LIBRARY do you know how to use a LIBRARY #hello??? if you don’t like a book you can return it and borrow another???? not scribble in the margins about how you don’t like it??? #like literally w h a t. #unhinged behavior and not in a cute way. #being mean isn’t cute it’s just being mean. condescension won’t magically make your dream fic scenarios appear. sorry (not sorry tho) #anyways. there was no way in hellllll! I was going to reblog that post and bring that whole mess to my blog. so instead. making my own post #(somewhat like people who can’t find fic they want could also just make their own but yknow 🤭💋) #anyways fellow fic writers and readers I interact with and am friends with ily ily and pls know I never think of your works like that in a #million years ok ❤️❣️❤️ I’m sorry some people are Mean I’m so glad the people I know who are fic writers + readers aren’t like that ty ty

was anyone going to tell me that karl (david rasche) starred in an 80s satire cop show called "sledge hammer!" in which he played the titular character, inspector sledge hammer (seen here blowing up a building to kill a sniper), or was i just supposed to find out by way of jemaine clement (yes, of flight of the conchords and wwdits fame) tweeting about it

#maybe this is well known information but i have never once done any deep digging on him so i am shocked and delighted #karl muller #david rasche #Youtube

[adrianicsea]

Both fall out boy and its always sunny are trending on tumblr I'd thought to ask how u are feeling

never in a million years would i have expected to receive any of the following:

•bisexual dennis real

•macdennis quasi-canon

•fall out boy playing GINASFS live

and now all of those things have happened in like the span of twelve hours. what a time to be alive!!

My darling sweet @acewithapaintbrush today the mailman brought me the most wonderful lil gift and I must say that I thought my face couldn't be more tear streaked but alas... A public thank you isn't even enough to describe how this lifted me up today. But you know that. Ich hab dich ganz doll lieb - mit schmetterlinge im bäuchlein und tränen in den augen

I'm actually considering saving them all cause I'm already attached ahahaha my skateboard is looking at me funny from across the room "no but ya know ya wanna"

#i cannot wait til you see what i got you hehe #this really made such a difficult day better #it's okay that i am crying #my face is already puffy #the keychain surprise was a freaking delight #when i say i squealed... yep #the colors on these are SO GOOD #i am legitimately shocked at the vibrancy #du wirst geknuddelt #abgeknutscht #acewithapaintbrush merch #ace's encanto merch shop

I had a 13 hour shift today and was panicking because I was late to something after my shift, so I ran a lot and fucked up my knee pretty bad but honestly it was very worth it

#posting at 2:40 AM because he's asleep and minimal people will see this #I'm just. happy. #and a large part of me is worried that it's a ton veneer of happiness that will crack when i ask certain questions #but most of me is just happy taking it as it is #he's so much fun and i enjoy spending time with him a lot and he's charismatic and funny and facetious and egotistical and delightful #my roommate has learned that every time she catches me smirking that it's because he did something cute or he was unexpectedly kind #i just. worry. #and I'm trying to not get too hung up on that because i did a lot of my worrying early in whatever this is but it's still underlying #idk man no amount of time with him is ever enough time and he does things to me that I've never felt before #and idk man. I'm just happy. #long ass shifts don't seem anywhere near as long with him on the other end of it #he works at 5:30 AM and he stayed out with me until 1 because i was late and because i needed it and he even suggested the second bar #I really want to attach meaning to his actions but I'm so nervous to overstep #anyways if you ever look in this tag I'm going to be very proud of you. and a little shocked #i mean. maybe not as shocked as i would have been before the Twitter thing 😭 #Roman
