I actually wrote an essay once comparing Frankenstein to Interview with the Vampire and how each of them are by women who'd grown up without a mother and lost a child, and how that influences the ways their monstrous "children" exist in the narrative.

Time for GUILLERMO DEL TORO'S FRANKENSTEIN DISCOURSE! I keep seeing people worry about whether del Toro properly did justice to Mary Shelley. And I have to ask: why is that del Toro's job more than anyone else's? And also, didn't he? And also, how could he? He's not a mother. 1/

LMAO I told Mum I wasn't feeling like going to the concert I had a ticket for tomorrow night, she asked who was playing, I said it was the Stardew Valley symphony and she replied "shades of Tar" which tells you a lot about the media we each consume.

Seeing Demi play D&D with Brennan Lee Mulligan was truly a transcendent experience.

Also I hope I am clear that I'm talking about adults in positions of social or economic power over the teens, like 30-year-old men or whatever. Don't take this as me being one of those people like "a fifteen year old and an eighteen year old can NEVER DATE" because that's not what I'm talking about.

genuinely very few things more satisfying than reading the kinds of emails rich and famous people send each other

Btwn this and the fedora kid from the Louvre, potential YA pitches are having a helluva week

Neither can legally consent to sex with an adult!!!!!!! Whether a child has gone through puberty or not has nothing to do with whether adults should be having sex with them!!!!! Even if a fifteen year old is sexually active with their peers, they should not be having sex with adults!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I suspect pretty much everyone on here is anti-weight-loss-drugs, but for anyone having them heavily pushed by doctors or family -- as happened to me -- I'm telling you they are deeply, deeply not worth it. You regain all the weight and feel like absolute shit the whole time. They are very very bad.

so glad the child sexual abuse panic was squarely pointed at folks like me by the people actually doing it & the public was like “yeah, seems right—freaks did it. not the men with all the money & fighting to keep child marriage legal, the women that are legal to kill in 30 states if you’re nervous.”

god this so much

Hey so “underage girls” are…children. The word you’re looking for is children. They’re not like, women-in-waiting or women-lite or whatever. They’re children. I think some of you are very uncomfortable with what that means for you but it is still true.

@katemonkey.com some fashion you may wish to keep an eye out for!

Pizzagate: If you replace the word “hot dog” with “little boy” and “pizza party” with “child sex orgy,” you will see the lengths these elites go to cover up their crimes. Real elite emails: Send me nude pictures of those 8th graders we abused last weekend post-haste! I am the Ambassador to Turkey.

Additionally, you'll get these white supremacist women simply shocked that white supremacist men are misogynist and it's like, girl, what did you expect.

Whew, yeah. Misogyny is toxic to humanity & always has been. And this admin has rooted so much of its horrors in misogyny, which is part of fascism btw, that it's inextricably linked.

Oh if we're talking "awakened something in me" the answer is I, Strahd by PN Elrod, a D&D tie in novel my brother got for Christmas when I was thirteen, and because we were on holiday I needed things to read, and that, dear reader, was the first vampire novel I read.

It says something about me that I read "spanner" and, despite being Australian where we use that word, saw it in combination with "brit" and went "oh, the spanner case, where a bunch of gay men were tried for recording their kink and the court found that subs can be charged with their own torture."

every single one of these emails is someone I already hate messaging a notorious pedophile to say "Thanks for the great time! I had fun doing pedophile stuff with you. P.S. Trump was there with us the whole time"

Periodic reminder to call it omegaverse fic because the acronym of alpha beta omega is a really really bad slur in australia!!!!!!!!!

I have a ticket to a Stardew Valley symphony concert on Friday night that I bought literally a year ago but I'm in the throes of a bad, bad depressive episode and the thought of going out into the world to appreciate art isn't thrilling, but the ticket doesn't have a resell option so I guess I gotta

I haven't re-read it or read the sequel, but I read 'Girl' by Blake Nelson as a teen and it had a profound impact on my understanding of narrative voice, that it could echo the cadence and vocabulary of a character's speaking voice to convey their inner world.

I love how after Interview, every Vampire Chronicles book starts with something like "Ah, bonjour once again. It is I, Lestat, the vampire, I have missed you dearly. Before we begin our tale together let me remind you of the many delights of my sensual body"

I love getting comments on my dmmd fic from over a decade ago. I never change I am the same person forever.

SALO SALO SALO SALO

switched to the vampire diaries and Stefan's desk has an imac *and* a vintage typewriter on it and he's handwriting a diary. I have never been able to watch this show because the early books were so important to me as a teen in the nineties, and LJ Smith was so kind when I wrote Wolf House.

Okay so I'm weak and I opened wife swap and the swap was a Black Republican woman trading places with a white lesbian. I assume they must get paid a lot of money to do this. I know that's why people would go on Jerry Springer - trans people could fund their gender affirming care from appearing.

Wow, Prime really wants me to watch Wife Swap. I must regretfully decline. Tabitha is fun because she's Gordon or Simon but an Australian lesbian.

lmao tempted by these earrings

Look, I know that fast fashion is terrible and I try to buy nothing new and repair what I have whenever possible. But my normal resistance to Temu ads is utterly undone by this objectively incredible item

I still think it's funny I checked out D-Gray Man solely because it was MXTX's first experience with a BL fandom in middle school. I first dismissed it as too middle school, then got up to the Alma Karma arc and got so bodied by emotions I couldn't keep going after the character died. Self owned.

I wish I had one of these badges to add to the new itabag, I am Very Dissatisfied with it compared to the old one at the moment.

I LOVE character dynamics like this, where one is a Protagonist (I tend to think of them as Madokas, because she's such a perfect example) who will give up everything for the world, and the other half is a Foil (a Homura, if you will) who is like nope! fuck the world! See also Kaworu and Michiru.

Obviously very scary story here but "Drohnen verboten"... not sure I needed that one translated.

The omegaverse really is a collective gift to art
