the self-justifying and self-mythologizing that this website did about john green is actually ridiculous. tumblr users didn’t drive him off tumblr because of some righteous crusade because of some evil thing he did. they did it because it was funny to be mean to him. anything else people try to claim is post-hoc rationalization so they personally don’t feel bad for finding it funny

#yes his books suck and anne frank kiss was bad but i PROMISE you thats not why people did the cockypasta #they did it because it was funny and mean #the habit of retroactively turning online comedy bullying campaigns into like #a heroic uprising of mass-movement altruism is very silly #and actively harmful to your ability to understand how online social spaces actually work and recognizes this happening in action

I kind of expect some people to get mad at me for this but I do find it deeply ironic how I've recently seen fanfic writers of all people turn into staunch supporters of intellectual property.

#I don't even just mean ai discourse stuff though god knows how many bad ip takes that has generated #Which at this point I'm annoyed by enough to unfollow over #But I've seen people say that you shouldn't use someone's idea in ways they don't like #Because that's disrespectful of their boundaries #And it's like. Ok so you think Anne Rice was totally in the right to try to come down on iwtv fic then? #You can't even big creators vs small creators your way out of this one #Because we're talking about uses that don't make anyone any money so it's not about protecting small creators' ability to make a living #It's an argument about boundaries and respect #Which... you think apply this way to you but not to Anne Rice because...? #Vagueblogging #Fanfic is literally based on 'if you put a story/idea out there it is fine and ethical to have whatever other story thoughts inspired by it #And put those out there too in turn provided you mark them as such'

hello, friend :) random question that i am just genuinely curious about:

if you could have any ability from bsd, which one would you want most and why? (or you can do top three if that's too hard, haha)

honest to god? probably kunikida's. i am a very, VERY forgetful person so i think it'd save my life if i can write down something i need and it appears magically in my hand any time i forget to bring it with me tbh. it happens all too often

light snow could help me fulfill my long life wish of being invisible tho, so there's also that, and if i can control the transformation i would LOVE to have beast beneath the moonlight. oh to be a REALLY big cat... or have a tail. having a tail would fix me

hbu? what would you choose? :o

#i don't have serious thoughts about this. chuuya's ability is really cool but it's too complicated to me #nikolai's sounds fun i could do party tricks. rashoumon too but i would make no use of it #anne of abyssal red would serve me for isolating from the world purposes tbh #and i am a cat would simply bring out my inner self. kitty cat. #corey <3

How is that old comic getting notes again 😭

#chattin #i wanted to expand on that for ages #but then i fell out of p5 so it just never happened #ive been playing strikers tho so im fixating a bit on this game again #i could possibly revisit it. #i love seeing tags of people thinking of makoto. its SO funny. #local teen girl not like Other girls. nuclear radiation emanates from within. #i will say that after playing the games (again) and branching out to my own comic stuff #ive got like. a more chill approach to this kind of stuff. like DOES everyone need to have this same issue? no #i just singled out the more elemental affinities #so ann ryuji and yusuke are the ones actually affected #and akiras third eye ability works to a lesser extent #its good bc ryuji/ann friendship is SO important to me #and hes like hey is that normal man? like does that happen to u? #ann (thinking of her burning up around makoto): oh yeah ! absolutely! #and he asks yusuke (beloved weirdo) and hes like ah. its very common for me :) #and ryujis like. cool! (smiles) #as if he didnt ask the two weirdest people knows about this. #boy….increase the sample size………..

if nothing else u must remember in ur hearts of hearts disposability is the way of our world currently. waste, alienation, isolation, grimdark shounen, all that glaze and polish and bandaids being traded out for prettier bandaids like ai fanart/art and my local university renovating every community structure without ever divesting. you must remember what u see. U have an ability to remember. It is essential u get it back and go back for it, every day, like taking a healing medicine, to remind urself u have the ability to remember and to cease forgetting.

#u have an ability to cease forgetting to slow it down to obstruct it. In ur body. The bodymind is both clever and elusive when u do not take #yours seriously. I need you to take your bodymind seriously now. Go to bed and eat and drink water and piss and shit and remember what #kinda world we live in that let 2 medics fail hind that baby girl with a mother waiting for her so quickly it inspired killing intent in me #remember what it means to nurse the intent within you. It will begin to trust you and you will begin to see that your bodymind is on your #side and it has been since u were born and there has been violence visited upon you and your anger and nausea is your way forward. #Go forward and throw off all your baggage. You must be militantly on your own side as anne lamott said in the 1990s. When u begin to take #urself seriously you will hear a new kind of gong an old kind of gong and it will resonate within you and grow from there outwards. #Burn and shine baby. Burn and shine. Be like the sun. Don't ask if you're good enough. Burn and shine. #Be like water as the abolitionists say. Be like water. Be like the trees. Be like water. Movement is all we can speak of so make your roots #We need you. #reminders #how to be a militant #survival #we can grow the spines we need to stand up for our lives.

Perhaps the reason Anne doesn’t notice the change is because she is never watching Sasha when Sasha is unaware of her. 

Sprig notes that Sasha seems just about the same. Except, less murderous maybe. More references to cheerleading, less throwing things out of sheer rage. But her voice when she leads... 

It’s tense. Commanding, which is suiting because she is a commander after all, but she furrows her brows and yells, and points, and gets straight to the point. Sometimes Sprig blinks while she’s giving instruction, and he’s back on top of that tower, her voice scathing and cold and calculating. Like it all carried over, just used for a different purpose. 

When she’s around Anne, though... that’s a whole other story.  

It’s like a spell. 

All the tension leaks out of her face when Anne walks in. A grin starts to pull at the corners of her mouth, and honestly, Sprig wants to be petty and bitter that she only smiles around his best friend, but this is high quality teasing material he can’t pass up. All of Sasha’s sharp edges fade when Anne puts her arm around her, and Sprig would be lying if he said he didn’t notice the way Sasha stares at Anne when she speaks, like she’s the only person in the entire world.

It’s hilarious, but also...

He can’t help but notice that Anne changes around her too.

i am kept up at night thinking about how atsushi escaped wearing the coat, but when he leaves the sub and makes it to shore, he doesn’t have the coat. i need the coat to be reintroduced back into the narrative !!!!!!!

#i actually have a lot of thoughts about this and how atsushi goes back for it at some point #and is keeping it safe #in anne’s room most likely #and how he’s going to use this to snap aku out of vampirism #like a HEY REMEMBER THIS COAT #YOU GAVE IT TO ME WHEN WE COMBINED ABILITIES #REMEMBER WHO YOU ARE #unless it’s like in jjk when a cursed technique is released #and so after aku died the fabric just #dissolved #anyways im excited for 109 #bsd manga spoilers

"Hey, uhhh, Futaba...?"

Honestly, Ann is so glad she worked up the courage to play video games with Futaba, finally. Ann's a big fan of games herself, but going up against an expert-level gamer like Futaba... she couldn't help but feel weirdly self-conscious about the idea for a while. Now, though, while she's still nowhere near on Futaba's level, she's realized that it was a silly thing to worry about - which she'd kind of known all along, but hey. Brains are weird like that sometimes, right?

But what Ann's thinking about now that they're taking a break is something a little different. She didn't know who to ask about it first, but Futaba is smart, so she might know something about it, right...?

"Have you noticed anything... weird happening, lately? Like, you know... just, like. Generally?"

@oraclememehacker ( starter! )

#ic #oraclememehacker #v. ann; tag tbd. #ann and futaba hours!! yesssssssssss >:) #i went with the ''ann's persona abilities are bleeding over into real life'' idea for this since i thought it'd be fun #but i'm up for the thread going in any direction tbh! ;w;

“Yes,’ I said softly to him, ‘that is the crowning evil, that we can even go so far as to love each other, you and I. And who else would show us a particle of love, a particle of compassion or mercy? Who else, knowing us as we know each other, could do anything but destroy us? Yet we can love each other.’ “And for a long moment, he stood there looking at me, drawing nearer, his head gradually inclining to one side, his lips parted as if he meant to speak. But then he only smiled and shook his head gently to confess he didn’t understand. “But I wasn’t thinking of him anymore. I had one of those rare moments when it seemed I thought of nothing. My mind had no shape. I saw that the rain had stopped. I saw that the air was clear and cold. That the street was luminous. And I wanted to enter the Louvre. I formed words to tell Armand this, to ask him if he might help me do what was necessary to have the Louvre till dawn.” “He thought it a very simple request. He said only he wondered why I had waited so long.”

-Interview with the Vampire, Anne Rice

#iwtv #anne rice #interview with the vampire #vampire chronicles #armand #louis de pointe du lac #this is one of my favorite passages #anne really captured a such a deep essence of depression in this book #which i understand why she was able to at that time #also something about armand and louis' interactions just gets me... #i think being with armand was deeply essential to louis' ability to grow into himself and slowly stop hating himself so much #armand is a lot gentler with him than lestat was #tvc #it’s such a simple request but it takes so much of louis’ effort to voice his desires #to him it was such a monumental thing to put words to this

The single worst idea I have ever had. Amphibia ATLA AU except Polly is a fire bender and literally no one else in her family can bend.

#amphibia #polly plantar #background behind this was that we compared Anne and Aang #then we made a terrible pun about her name #and then we considered what the calamity trio would be before switching to this tangent #random ramblings #half of the plot is just Anne using her Avatar abilities to keep Polly from burning down literally everything #wren’s amphibia stuff

/ I think this is why I find the general reaction to xaos so utterly cruel. He's often told he's stupid,or wrong, or weird or so many other insulting things for not understanding things about life that sound basic to us but that's bc we've been taught it from young ages. Someone who has lived the life xaos had would yes be intellectually and socially behind the rest of us, and that is not a moral failing on his part. That's not his fault at all because he is a VICTIM. There's a very deep lack of basic empathy and a very strange want to jump to blaming a victim instead of looking at the cause of his suffering. Instead of looking at the society and the person who made sure he was isolated from possible learning experiences which is extra odd bc that person is a muse on this blog you all have written with.

#and yes i have several muses who do that too #but they're bad guys #like actual monsters #them being wrong is the point #the people who reacted negatively to xaos often see their muses as being entirely justified in their victim blaming #if we're being real xaos should be worse #the fact that hes where he is shows his ability to learn adapt and grow #the only person i think that has shown appropriate levels of basic understanding in this regard is ann

on the note about people hating pretentiousness… ik this is old news but i hateee the shit that jeremy strong gets for being pretentious or dramatic or whatever. like sorry he’s passionate about what he does and yeah it’s a bit dramatic but it’s not a crime to be super into the thing you love??? has he literally hurt anybody by saying “dramaturgically” just bc you felt dumb for not knowing a word or being a little weird on set?? i would much rather have weird ass overly passionate actors than boring people that have nothing new to say. also i love that he’s just constantly quoting books and authors verbatim that’s so fun <3

#i watched his interview with anne hathaway and i thought it was so sweet 😭 #when she was like ‘i love that you have the ability to just pull out quotes’ and he got all blush #*blushy and shy #like MEEEEE i think that’s so cool #anyways people think it’s sooo cringe to like. be passionate and have interests and it’s so annoying #u want to live in colorless ai generated world or what??? #sorry for defending a celebrity btw. it won’t happen again
