COMMUNITY APPRECIATION WEEK - DAY 2: FAVORITE FRIENDSHIP

ao3

spent all day yesterday reading about alex aster and lightlark and it's so funny that she has 'follow your dreams 🥰' in her bio when the only reason she got published was her enormous wealth and privilege and connections and she really thinks that 6 figure deals and 7 figure movie deals can happen to anyone else as long as they work hard not to mention the excessive level of bragging in her tiktoks that comes across as tone deaf

all this hype is completely manufactured, none of this is organic, and, as she keeps saying in the tiktoks, all it took was one tiktok to catapult her to stardom. she does not talk about her writing process or her characters or Anything about writing at all, it's just all about her success and how she was rejected 'countless times' before tiktok. which imo really goes to show you the kind of product you can expect. and reading excerpts from the book, maybe there's a reason she was rejected for so long

all this bragging and nothing to back it up with.... embarrassing.

anyway im really enjoying sandman so far. local personification of dreams gets trapped in a cringe fishbowl by fail magicians and stays there for 100 years out of sheer pettiness, more at 7

every once in a while I remember that hannibal lecter would show up at crimes he committed and be like “girl WHO did that???”

Sometimes i feel like younger queer kids are getting a bit to bold with openly talking to people they don’t know In The Context Of:

More than once i have had a younger/same age queer person come up to me in public settings and say something about “finding other gays” or clearly clocking me as nonbinary and I’m like :)))))))) hey buddy I’m here with my conservative parents can you fucking not out me :))))))))

Just say you like my outfit or hair and move on, fuck even tell me you like my shoelaces. Don’t call me gay and limp your wrist at me when you don’t even know me? Especially when there’s a bunch of ppl around?

"just put yourself out there" what if I scared. what then.

the thing about being in a fandom for a long time is you inevitably develop very intense opinions about things you know objectively are absolutely meaningless but nonetheless make you want to gnaw through drywall like a feral cat and there's just nothing you can do about that
