a few reminders because i’m tired and angry

fandom is a hobby, not a form of activism

adult women aren’t inherently creepy for being in fandom and having hobbies apart from raising babies and doing taxes

the vast majority of people pushing back against the worrying trend of instigating harassment over fictional characters and relationships aren’t incest supporters or pedophiles, actually

liking a m/f ship doesn’t make someone a dirty heterosexual invading your space

preferring gay ships doesn’t make you ‘’woke’’ and good

no one owes you a disclaimer that they are a good person who recognizes that their favorite fictional villain’s actions are evil and that they don’t condone those actions irl

liking a fictional villain is in no way comparable to advocating abuse/murder/genocide/etc and you’re a fucking idiot if you believe that

just because a woman is attracted to a fictional villain doesn’t mean she’s promoting toxic relationships or going to end up in a toxic relationship. assuming women can’t tell fiction and reality apart stinks of internalized misogyny 

some rando’s a/b/o fanfics have none of the level of influence that popular tv shows and movies spreading propaganda have

no one owes you a detailed description of their traumas and mental health problems

abusive relationships are not the same as enemies to lovers ships

y’all need to chill the fuck out over people, relationships, actions and events that don’t actually exist and learn how to enjoy and discuss them like normal people

fandom is a hobby, not a form of activism

Public speaking is actually really easy if you don't respect a single soul in that room. I've had an incredibly easy time delivering speeches when I hated everybody I saw and they all thought I did amazing because my disdain was read as confidence. I don't have any tips for you I'm just telling you a fact

"He wished that he could break out his knitting, but for some reason, people didn’t take you seriously as a warrior when you were knitting. He’d never figured out why. Making socks required four or five double-ended bone needles, and while they weren’t very large, you could probably jam one into someone’s eye if you really wanted to. Not that he would. He’d have to pull the needle out of the sock to do it, and then he’d be left with the grimly fiddly work of rethreading the stitches. Also, washing blood out of wool was possible, but a pain."

"Paladin's Grace (The Saint of Steel Book 1)" by T. Kingfisher

#so fun fact! #knitting was originally popularized in japan by samurais #they started just making their own socks and things but it became a little cottage industry for them #so warriors absolutely do knit!

#I think the one I think of most though is a later one (2009 I think?) #by the charlie the unicorn guy #llamas with hats episode 2 #’that is what forgiveness sounds like. screaming and then silence’ #and also ‘boat nectar’ #my sister and I still use that to refer to any unidentified substance #but of these definitely candy mountain #every day echoing through the halls of my middle school all you would ever hear is ‘chaaaaarlieeeee’ #okay I’m rewatching Charlie the unicorn and it’s terrifying how many things I still say came from this video

How funny that I was unemployed for three months and now that I have a job, I just got offered a second

One of the receptionists at my gym just asked me if I would want to be a fitness instructor because they're starting training soon and I'm like hmmm 👀

#the only thing is i dont know how steady my first job's schedule would be

me as a child: this "$4.99" sales stuff is idiotic, anyone can instantly round this up to $5 in their mind, no one is falling for this

me as an adult: oh wow only $4 (with some additional numbers behind it), that's great because if it was a single dollar more that would have been the last straw for me in my miserable life
