What On Earth Is It With All These Old Men Getting Seduced By Teenagers In Souls Games, If I Get Old

the Tumblr feed feels like it has been slowly pushing me to write fanfiction and I'm not sure how to feel about that

“The Little Drummer Boy” (Christmas carol) is actually a great model for fanfiction because:

It centers around in-canon characters and/or a believable oc

It magnifies the spirit of the original work and/or builds upon pre-existing themes which resonated with the (fic) author

It uses literary devices (ex: onomatopoeia, symbolism)

It makes its point without carrying on too long

Suggests at sentient and musically talented animals

It’s meaningful to both the (fic) author and to a wide audience of people who are already acquainted with the in-canon story

The protag is not too OP to fit in the canon universe in a believable and engaging way; protag has realistic limits and weaknesses alongside his/her talents

Thank u for coming to my ted talk

I used to read dictionaries as a kid. And as a child who would casually leave social events to go read the books in a stranger's library, it was probably really funny to see me with the thickest, oldest looking dictionary I could find, so heavy I barely could even hold it, sitting with it in my lap as I read it from cover to cover

it's so weird to me that everyone on this website is a human person outside of their weird internet niche so rb this with a random bit of your lore

Reblogging for two reasons

A: Never have I read anything more scarily accurate than this

B:OMGG BOOKS OF BEGINNING FANS IN THE WILD???

so, you know the nightmare before christmas? you know the three kids that are oogie boogie's henchpeople? the two idiot boys dressed as a skeleton and a demon, and the bossy done-with-this girl dressed as a witch? these kids:

they have the exact same energy as jake, beetles, and abigail

My goodness, this is a phenomenal artwork! I'm down with the idea that the lord of frenzied flame has an unhinged, joker-esque feel to them.

just some perfectly normal and not unhinged at all doodles of my frenzied flame tarnished

And because I forgot to source the picture:

URGH I WANT A GIANT GODDESS TO SNUGGLE ME SO BADLYYYY

like, imagine being the only smol creature in her majestys court or smth. Imagine all the other angels and gods tower over you. But she didn't care. She chose you to be hers, so all the courts of the high heavens can go to the other place for all she cares. Imagine her giggling in her regal voice as she tickles your relentlessly, digging her great fingers into your ribs with enough force to leave you a squealing mess but also just enough to ensure she's not harming you in any way. Imagine feeling sad and then getting plucked up out of nowhere, her soft lips nearly suffocating you with divine love as she tells you that no matter what the world says, she will love you because you are hers and because you are you and because the world is cruel she chooses to love you even more.

IMAGINE THE SNUGGLES AT NIGHT BRO IMAGINE.

This shi got me giggling and kicking me feet at 1:06 in the morning my goodness

Let me know if any links don’t work.

there is an opportunity to make a "be gay, do crime" joke here, but i have no idea what joke that would be

its pride month, fellow borrowers. you know what that means.

Okay here's my obligatory post about Tumblr users and their ignorance of rap, as a (white) fan of rap:

Saying "Not all rap music is about violence, here are alternatives" is not helpful, because the violent music ALSO has meaning.

When Biggie Smalls postures about his gang connections and packing heat, he isn't doing it because wow violence is so edgy, it's a powerful statement. Youth in urban areas where gang activity is heavy are often treated as lesser than by default, especially compared to black people the same age from a wealthy background. There's a reason that the "wholesome and respectable" black-lead entertainment of that era was stuff like the Cosby Show, with doctor-lawyer parents, or Family Matters, with a cop dad. There's a reason why the big joke of Fresh Prince is someone with a more unstable upbringing moving in with one of these model black sitcom families.

Standing up and saying yeah, I came from the mean streets, I was molded by this violence and yes, I did what I had to do to survive in a world that refuses to acknowledge my existence as meaningful or worthy of protection. I protected myself, I made my own way, and fuck anybody who tries to stand in the way of that.

Refusing to demonize that environment and wearing it like armor in a way that protects from the authority that wants you to see them as sub humans incapable of only violence and hatred, and saying HEY. I'm here, I lived this, and there is love and there is pain and there is ART in this.

That is powerful. That is the essence of gangster rap.

It isn't about hurting people for fun, it's about holding a mirror up to a society that does the hurting and then calls you a monster for what it's made you. Its about validating the experiences of the disenfranchised and biting back at authority. It's about turning a pain that the world say you deserve being one of those people from those places into POETRY. Into ART.

And thats why it matters.

And thats why you need to shut the yell up and stop dismissing it as violence without substance when you all sat on your ass listening to songs about Hatsune Miku eating people in middle school.

Being Ni-Ti is not believing you understand how ni ti works for untold weeks, quietly obsessing over it, watching videos, reading essays and articles, reading random little blogs and probably malware-infested sites for the sake of understanding....

And then it finally comes to you while you're cleaning the bathroom or watching shitposts on Instagram
