it's been two weeks and this is still on my mind, but i have no idea what to do with it. do i wanna go in the direction of creepy/condescending or affectionate?? bc if i do affectionate, i think i'd have to develop a relationship for him with a whole new character, and that's kind of a lot lmao.

but like. i did want him to get a lamb tattoo on his wrist after the events of NOTLC, so what if he met someone new but didn't get a chance to say his name so they started calling him "lamb" because of that? except he might find it a little bit condescending/annoying depending on his attitude towards that person lol.

got the idea that someone should use the nickname "lamb" for river (you know, because he's lamb coded), but tragically i do not have any existing characters who would call him that. i need to come up with a reason for someone to affectionately (or maybe condescendingly? that could be fun) call him "lamb" ASAP.

i hate you "pair the spares"/"everyone must be paired" tropes, i hate you forced last minute romances, i hate you implication that a happy ending means a romantic partner, i hate you amatonormativity

somewhere on a long dead forum there's a link that no longer works to a mod to a game nobody plays that would be a valuable contribution to the way people see level design if it got a chance to be seen. somewhere on a website that gets 15 monthly visitors there's a webcomic that woulkd inspire and resonate with you and change your life even in a small way if you could just find it. somewhere theres a music artist that would inspire you for years to come but their work just can't manage to be seen online or off. theres so many things that would change your life that just can't seem to rise to the surface and remain undiscovered and forgotten. or maybe never shared

when people tag their fanart of a non-visual media with the names of like 10 different characters so i can't tell who the singular character in their art is 😭

#spam tagging is annoying anyway but ALSO SPECFICALLY BECAUSE OF THIS #maybe i'd reblog your art if i knew which blorbo this was!! #they speak

i have rule i semi-adhere to for media criticism which is to ideologically meet shit where it's at (or where it's presented to me). i like to call it the "i didn't make you market it that way" rule--like, if lancer's union was just presented as a sci-fi setting, that would be fine. i don't expect all sci-fi settings to be communist utopias! but when the creators of lancer use the word utopia like 20 times & bandy around words like 'mutual aid' and 'post-scarcity' and 'anticapitalist' when describing it, then to me that becomes absolutely fair game. similarly if someone says 'stardew valley is fun i like farming :)' then i'm not gonna reply with a long post about how it's ideologically petty-bourgeois--but if they say 'stardew valley is anticapitalist', then they've opened up that can of worms and it's fair for me to point out that the worms exist.

me, posting stuff for over 7 different fandoms at random all on the same blog:

there’s been a really bizarre trend in the past couple years of TERFS/radfems getting pissed off about biology posts. posts about the bilateral gyandromorph cardinal (one half male, one half female), posts about older hens beginning to crow and act like roosters, posts about animals being animals. and it’s hilarious because they interpret these posts as some kind of agenda. no! these are animals not choosing any gender identity or sexuality but being born into bodies they have no control over. weird how that happens in nature huh

That feel when your fandom has to start a '#no dissection' tag on ao3

#danny phantom #YEAH LMAO #it's extrapolation but not by *that* much #they actually say the word dissection in the show soooo
