Tell Me I'm Not The Only One Who Sees How Perfectly These Fit Together

chess is improved by picking two pieces to be star-crossed lovers who cannot bring themselves to kill the other

cis people when a trans person turns out to be a bad person: oh so i can misgender them now? i can misgender them now right? now it’s okay for me to completely disrespect their identity and show other trans people their pronouns are a privilege right? i can do that now? i can be blatantly and violently transphobic to this person even though it has nothing to do with what they did right?

leaving kudos on ao3 isn’t enough I need to be able to eat the fic

Marvel movies have completely eliminated the concept of practical effects from the movie-watching public’s consciousness

I'm sorry that I've not been streaming the last few days.

Work has been insane and awful and I am so exhausted when I get home that I want to die and cry.

I'll be back soon

i went to the YA section several years ago since i needed a book to read to pass some time. there was this one called "the border" that had a nice looking cover that i ended up buying (was a good choice for me specifically since it taught me a few things about immigration that i had never exposed myself to, though i don't recommend it otherwise. like, at all.). the only female protagonist offered to show her tits to a kid so he'd buy her something from the corner store, and did the same thing for the main protag in the middle of the desert because she liked him(??? they were both teens, but it was still strange). ended up looking up the author years later, and yes, it is a grown ass man. the A in YA stands for AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH??????

Sometimes I think we need to ban grown men from writing teen girls. I've never seen a demographic so convinced that sexualizing children is super normal and okay

I really want people to flood my inbox with their rants about authors and books they just can't stand, especially YA because it's so gloriously and passionately unhinged and I love it. But I am aware that I'm a tiny little blog that no one knows or interacts with. And despite being on this site for over a decade, I still don't understand the dark alchemy that drives this place.

But, hey, if you do see this, feed me your hatred. Be as vitriolic as your heart desires. Be unreasonable, be irrational. I won't judge you. I won't argue with you. I will accept your rage as my own.

Hmm...maybe this will help: Sarah J. Maas Antis, come to me and offer me your hatred

You know what, I'm about to go somewhere without internet access for a few days, so I'm going to blaze this and see what happens when I come back. For fun.

CLUELESS (1995), dir. Amy Heckerling + Letterboxd Reviews

the catcher in the rye is horrible, the writing feels as a call for attention from a child, but a grown man writes it. It blows my mind that schools push this subpar book and demand kids read it. I have no idea why people consider this a classic

I promised not to judge, so I won't. I can see where you're coming from though

I can't decide what to read. Opinions?
