I wasnt the only one who immediately thought and accepted too absurdly fast that Riri had just fucking killed that stalker girl right
People pretending to be against censorship of dark materials but still unwilling to actually leave fiction that makes them uncomfortable alone will really enter discussions of censorship to say "noo I totally understand the difference between dark stuff being depicted (Actual Highbrow Art That Deserves To Be Saved) and icky pornographic romanticisation of bad things that people get off to (Morally Corrupt Non-Art That Should Be Destroyed Or At Least Harassed Off The Platforms) and obviously I'm a progressive person who doesn't want to censor the former!!"
like clearly you've first missed the whole point that exploring dark themes doesn't have to be a moral lesson for it to be "allowed" and fantasies ≠ reality, secondly you have decided to become the arbitrator of what depiction is good and what is pornographic ie what depiction is pleasing in a righteous way (tragic) vs in a corrupt way (sexual - which is always corrupt no of course this has nothing to do with my religious upbringing why do you ask) which has an understanding of "harm" not really grounded in reality because it sees fantasies when they are sexual as being harmful for real (so I already know these are people who are progressive only in name but will hate me for my lived reality of being 1. Kinky and 2. Mentally ill with intrusive thoughts), thirdly you've missed the whole point of anti censorship which is that it doesn't matter whether you find something uncomfortable it still has the right to exist, and fourthly this attitude somehow only comes out with sexual stuff bc none of these people are going after dark romanticism when it has cannibalism and the cannibals have a twisted sexual romance with each other or when it's a murderer or a vampire who also has a love story no no this is reserved for "dark sexual themes" because how dare anyone wish to explore that in any way that's not purely clinical, doesn't matter if you're a victim exploring this stuff to cope you're a victim in the wrong way go be sad and submissive instead.
Tldr: "I'm not like the other conservatives I actually know that art shouldn't be destroyed except when it's sexual because then it's meaningless and not art" actually you're exactly like the other conservatives
The thing about bugs bunny is that he lives and dies by his bits. He’s fully capable of killing you if he wanted, but the thing is, not only is he a nice guy, he’s a funny guy. To beat bugs bunny, many people assume that you just have to not fall for the jokes. If he hits you with a pie, you don’t flinch, and eventually you’ll ware him down. The issue is, misery will only last you so long. There’s only so much bits to endure before it becomes funny. And whoever is getting laughed at is losing. Instead, to kill bugs bunny, you have to beat him at his own game. When he throws a pie, don’t try to sidestep or be a sourpuss, that’s playing into his hands. Instead, you comically open your mouth and swallow it whole. This is how you kill a god.
I just think they're neat
So that post Columbia andreil confrontation is everything! But from Wymack's pov he watches Neil tell Andrew "fuck you" before switching to a flurry of German in which Neil first looks panicked and scared but then grows a deranged smile he forcibly tries to fight off his face before ultimately sighing and looking so utterly tired defeated and pathetic. And the next bit of context Wymack gets is Andrew claiming they're both leaving together.
TODAY, August 12, 2024, The Animation Guild begins negotiations with the AMPTP to win a new contract for animation. This is a huge fight with severe stakes for the future of the Animation Industry in the US, and the guild needs your support!
TAG is fighting, Right Now, to stop exploitative practices that are weaponized against animation professionals across the globe, and working hard to ensure this industry has a future here in the states.
If you are a fan of animation, whether it's major or independent studios, eastern or western, tv or movies, we need you to get LOUD in support of The Animation Guild. The crews who work so hard to bring these works to life are struggling to pay their bills, if they can find work at all, while studio CEOs are getting multi-million dollar raises to cancel projects and gut streaming libraries.
We can win this fight, but we need public outcry and support. If you work in animation, if you've ever dreamed of working in animation, or if you just love animation, please stand with TAG and support the union effort to keep animation a viable career and a valuable medium!

young me especially would have hated hearing this but networking is literally the most important thing you can do to improve your situation like forget economic barriers to education etc just keep making friends with different people and eventually someone will offer you a hand up just because they dig your vibe and that is exactly all that's happening when undeserving people surpass you anyway
To all my writers who have a tough time with smut terms and not knowing which ones to use, I have found the holy grail for us.
This reddit user, who I've recently found out is @kjscottwrites here on tumblr, took a poll of 3,500 people and went really in depth with asking their favorite terminology, along with actual pie charts on what the readers preferred to see in their smut.
Check out their post with the link to the Google doc here!
I just finished watching Romantic Killer and let me tell you,
My crops? Watered. My faith in humanity? Absolutely RESTORED.
I was so nervous to start watching, as I was sure it would turn into another "she doesn't want romance until she meets this One Guy" but it wasn't!
She avoided any and all romance but still made genuine connections with people and strong friendships. This show made me so happy to watch, and was very funny.
I urge you, if you're on the fence about watching Romantic Killer, you should totally try it!
