"this is yuri to me" and it's a hetship "he's a woman to me" and not even a faint whisper of transfeminism. so, why don't you put your money where your mouth is and make that fictional man into a woman? or do you just think of him as submissive and breedable, traits that you've arbitrarily ascribed to women for some reason? and why don't you put a canon woman with another woman in your "yuri" art? can you not think of a canon woman worth it?

I really don't give a fuck about that whole wattpad vs ao3 thing but it'd be nice if ao3 users stopped invoking weird anti-immigrant sentiments over fanfiction. literally saw someone go full republican and say shit like "it's migrants invading my country" with hundreds of likes and I just have to ask if you know how corny and annoying you look

sorry i missed the gala of suitors i was outside picking on the weird girl in the garden tending to weird looking plants. yeah she had a little shack with a cauldron back there it was gross. anyways she gave me something to drink and now im madly in love with her so we need to start planning a wedding or whatever

Me when I catch myself thinking "I wonder what it's like to be chosen by somebody" but then I remember my best friend chooses to be my best friend and my mutuals choose to follow me and the minimum wage employee chooses to give me sincere kindness that I remember years later because I was going through a hard time and it meant a lot

Now, kid, my name might not be Lala Bingle, but that doesn't mean I don't want some yummy sneats, capiche?

there is a fictional man in my brain and I will never be free

how it feels to have follow rlly cool people and have cool moots but being to nervous and awkward to talk to them

this has been discussed before but reducing female characters to the girlboss braincell holder in the name of combating misogyny in fandom is ironically also a form of misogyny

“In my friend, I find a second self.”

c.s. lewis / my best friend by the coral / alivia horsley / @billypotts / hanya yanagihara / ‘after party ll’ salman toor / the kids aren’t alright by fall out boy / a summer’s tale / lorde / hanya yanagihara / abed and troy (community) with a winnie the pooh quote @weelezzer / isabel norton

One thing about me is that I will always be a little in love with my friends’ OCs. I am normal and can be trusted with them I promise

Also, before someone asks "how do you feel about the Wattpad v ao3 situation and people comparing it to colonization and ICE":

I think this is what happens when you let people think "ACAB includes fandom police" is an acceptable thing to say. That's all.

you guys really need to stop saying that people don't contribute to a fandom unless they're making fanart or writing fanfics or doing something creative where the final output is "content".

i've seen enough posts parroting this sentiment that makes me believe it's not just one person's dumb take, but a growing belief and that boggles my mind.

commenting, engaging, encouraging, and yes, even geeking out about your favorite artist or your favorite fic IS contributing to a fandom. it is vital to the general fandom ecosystem, the way creating and sharing fanworks is!

hot take comments like "I hope I get cyclosporiasis I want to lose 10 lbs" are not only obvious fatphobia but also part of mass illness normalization that has been an ongoing effort since 2020 to minimize the dangers of disease and infections

They want to act like high levels of sickness whether it be airborne or foodborne are normal and not the responsibility of agencies like public health or food safety regulation so they can get away with dismantling them.
