Okay...

Can my MC at least mix Minyeok's, uh..."human essence" with some juice or something?! Like at least make her a cocktail (huehuehue)

I'm still of the mind that it shouldn't have been Ansem the Wise who brought up the possibility of fictional worlds, and instead it should have been Merlin.

Thought process:

People might disagree with me on this and that's valid, but it just feels really strange to me that someone characterized as a scholarly, scientist type would hear the words "other side" and "a world of neither darkness nor light" and then for some reason immediately go "Oh, so a fictional world, then." Like, dude, WHAT are you TALKING about.

Merlin is a fantasy wizard who resents modern technology and thinks magic is better (at least that's how he acted in KH2 about Cid's computer). A wild statement like this would sound a bit more natural coming from him.

But the primary reason why I think Merlin would have been better suited for this is that he's already heavily associated with a sort of "fictional world": the world within the Winnie the Pooh book.

So, he has experience with "fictional worlds" and knows that they exist (even if the fictional worlds of the KH universe aren't quite the same thing as the fictional world of unreality.) It would make sense for him to offer "fictional worlds" as a possibility. (With the Radiant Garden science crew then extrapolating the concept of "unreality" from that.)

In addition, in Re:Mind the Fairy Godmother makes it clear that she, Yen Sid, and Merlin talk to each other. And the Fairy Godmother shows up in the scene where Ansem the Wise brings up fictional worlds. Therefore, it wouldn't be strange at all if Merlin showed up in this scene too and was the one to talk about fictional worlds instead.

Mutual tolerance and respect for each other’s beliefs and values, yes, absolutely. But there’s a caveat: as long as those beliefs don’t hurt the other person. If you believe I should have fewer rights because of my race or my abilities or my gender or who I love, or that I shouldn’t have the right to say what happens to my body, or even if you’re just okay with me having fewer rights, then intentionally or not, you are subscribed to an ideology that is used to dehumanise, hurt, and/or oppress me. That’s not just having a different belief. That’s you supporting people who are trying to harm me. I don’t respect or tolerate that. I deserve better than that. Everyone does.

#my opinion #there are limits #misogyny is a belief #but not one i tolerate #just to give one example

Oh, bless you modders <3 There's a BG3 mod that reduces or flat out removes the defined abs from the gentlemen in your party.

#baldurs gate 3 #it feels so weird to see over the top defined abs on them #especially since not a single one of them has above average strength #give the poor men a little bit of padding ffs #and don't try to convince me that Gale the puny wizard is jacked #dragons and magic and elves sure #I'll go along with it #but not Gale's excessive abs #there are limits

It is disrespectful going at it on the kitchen table. Why do we have the counters?

first question how are you reblogging from a deactivated blog. second question can you like... tag them with something bc there are. so many of them

deactivated????? Aw, too bad. Anyway I queued them. They should stop soon, he didn’t make infinite paintings, just so many of them.

#scroll past I guess! #I didn’t queue any multiple times I just did them all once I think #there are limits

I'm a staunch advocate for Let the Winchesters Be Kind of Gross, Actually. Maybe less so as adults, but as kids? Those boys were always a little grimy.

yeah man!!! I'd go even further and say, let them be SUPER gross, and definitely as adults!!

I'm not a super clean person, and neither is my husband, which means we end up living kind of like college students. empties all over the coffee table, pubes rolling like tumbleweed around the bathroom. it's gross, but, neither of us are naturally that clean, so it happens! nobody picks up after us!

so: I see Sam and Dean like that, except with the addition of not ever having a stable home where they even saw what clean looked like. same with personal hygiene, like.. I think of all the hoops I jump through to stay 'neat,' and they're not doing any of that. I don't think it's necessary to mention this level of reality in fic, but like.. those boys aren't exactly waxing and bleaching their assholes. minor manscaping at best. they're always on the road! injured and depressed! they only have a car's worth of space for everything they own! they turn their underwear inside out to get another day of wear, they're hairy and gross, their feet stink, they've got at least a few cavities they're ignoring. it's gnar but I'm passionate about this. the two guys we see on tv are CW-ized hot versions of the real thing, and the real thing would be gross, I think

#this is especially something I uh #grappled with a bit in pine sweat #the entire thesis of the fic is 'sticky and gross' but #there are limits #they're camping for days without a shower I don't need to mention the SMELL #the fact that anyone blows anybody in that fic violates the geneva convention #ronanswers

some stats for y’all

less than 3% of the population has grey eyes. 2% have green eyes. only 2% of people stay blonde through puberty and into adulthood.

this is a lot of people among 7 billion people, but if you narrow it down to only those who are 12-13 and live in America, that’s way fewer. now narrow it down to child actors. now narrow it down to child actors who have read pjo. now narrow it down to child actors who have read pjo and have the right personality and skill for the roles.

the cast who look the way some fans want do not exist. and this is why the chosen cast, who fit the roles, are the perfect cast.

(sources and addressing contacts/dyeing under the cut)

“but they can dye their hair/wear contacts” really? contacts dry out your eyes, and can lead to more permanent damage if you wear them too often. tom felton was diagnosed with permanent baldness that directly resulted from him bleaching his hair for years as malfoy. don’t ask children to change their appearance for your book character vision.

and even if you can think of blonde child actresses right now, chances are they won’t stay blonde past season 1 and you would face the bleaching issue again.

public libraries in the usa offering free digital library cards to people not in their areas (as of october 2023):

brooklyn (13-21yo us residents)

seattle (13-26yo us residents)

boston (13-26yo us residents, EDIT: just commonly banned books)

los angeles (13-18yo california residents)

san diego (12-26yo us residents, not the whole collection just commonly banned books)

these books unbanned cards (unless otherwise stated) get you access to each library's complete libby/cloud library collection, no hoopla/kanopy/physical copies included.

ebook collections are expensive to maintain (many american libraries have annual fees for non-residents because of this) but because of an uptick in book banning (particularly brutal in mississippi last summer) larger libraries have opened their doors more, which is very kind of them!

i've used my seattle card for the last several months and their libby collection has about three times the books that my local library does, which is wonderful for accessing more niche titles or skipping a waiting list. would love to hear of similar ebook initiatives internationally!

i use library extension (firefox/chrome/edge compatible) to check all my collections (+ the internet archive) at once, works for several different countries highly recommend it.

spotify seems to be offering 15hrs/month of audiobook listening to premium subscribers and while that does seem useful if you're already paying and are after a new release with a long library waitlist, libraries are better for everything else.

#library tag #banned books week #banned books #emmybody talks #for international users... your mileage may vary! #i mean i suppose you could lie about your age/location to get some of these. i doubt theyd check i would just feel bad. personally. #post brought to u by banned book week but also being moderately annoyed at ppl mad about the spotify thing #libraries are wonderful but they have their own limitations and i think using both is good!

the question, you see, is not ‘is it too ooc for this character to cry’ but rather ‘what circumstances would push this character to cry’

this is the whump wisdom, go forth and make that character cry

#gav gab #‘it’s sooooooo ooc to make that character cry’ no you see I think it is ooc #to put this character through absolute unimaginable hell physically and emotionally #and NOT let them cry about it #sometimes canon framing and media format and genre #limit the ability to let a character emotionally Feel all the insanely traumatic shit that’s happened to them #that doesn’t mean that in a different medium or genre exploring these things #it would be ooc for them to do so #send tweet. let those characters feel and emote. it’s not ooc or cringe and anyone who tells you it is is a reductive dick

[reasonsforhope]

Sometimes you just have one of those moments where the progress we've made as a culture get thrown into stark relief. You look at something and go "Holy shit, that would never have happened when I was a kid."

Today, I had one of those moments when I realized that the teenage boys I'm working with are just. genuinely, openly enthusiastic about going to Build-a-Bear for their outing.

These are sixteen and seventeen year old boys! They just had a whole conversation about what to name their "cute", mostly new squishmallows! They're genuinely excited that they're going to Build-a-Bear this weekend and asking other kids to pick up specific accessories for them!!

Holy shit, that never would've happened when I was 16. None of the boys would have dared to be visibly interested - and neither would most of the girls! There would have been a million gay jokes and "Haha, you're a girl" jokes and "What are you, a baby?" jokes. Teenagers weren't even supposed to care about anything back then!

Less than 15 years later, and I'm watching three 17 year old boys treat all that as not even worthy of comment.

So let's call that a reason for hope. Even when the kids aren't alright, in some ways apparently they are alright. Go Gen Z, honestly. It's so lovely to watch you guys just openly doing and saying stuff that, when I was a teen, would've been a social death sentence.

#obligatory disclaimer that this really really obviously is not universal #I do live in a major progressive city #there's definitely a level of a liberal bubble effect here #but it's still really powerful to see it #because even in a major liberal enclave there were so many limits on the gender roles and homophobia etc. etc. fronts #and also the limits of the oppressive weight of obligatory teen apathy lol #seriously go gen z. so glad you guys decided cringe is dead. I love you for that so much #and I love it for you #not news #life #hope #homophobia #sexism #teens #teenagers #progress #gen z #btw if it wasn't clear I'm a #millennial #plush toy #plushie #squishmallows #build a bear #stuffed animal #like the idea of almost any teenager much less teenage boys #saying IN FRONT OF THEIR PEERS #that they are excited about their STUFFED ANIMALS #when I was a teenager #????? #cannot imagine that ever happening.
