My mood lately. (I might make into a sticker if y'all want?)

ok stay with me on this one... sometimes you have writer's block because you're not in Text World. you have to read until you're back in Text World. if you don't read, you're writing in the real world. sentences won't feel right or they'll look goofy. not in Text World though

If anyone has access to the Japanese language Black Butler 222, I have questions about two panels in particular 👀

Excellent that in both extant canons, Sebastian almost killed Grell with her own death scythe and instead of that dissuading her in any way she decided to keep antagonizing him and be sluttier about it. I love whatever is wrong with her

I like inventing guys who really test the known metaphysics of Black Butler to the limit. Like: Catholic reaper who orchestrates a massive scheme to receive a plenary indulgence and be “forgiven” early.

Washingtonians, if you see ICE activity in your area here are some resources to use and share! Thanks to our friends over at Indivisible Gig Harbor for sharing this from @shasti.bsky.social! We encourage you to follow @waisn.bsky.social!

Someday I will be able to stop and process the unmitigated horror of existing in a world run by stupid, hateful rapists who long to destroy and violate everything good and beautiful and whose most nominally powerful opponent is a political party which thinks it's rude to point this out.

Why is this book only available until April 2026? Because that's when we'll begin the crowdfunding process to create the illustrated softcover version of THE STILLBORN MOON & THE STOLEN EMBER. The same crew is returning and we're very excited. We'll see you there! chibis by @sjmillerart.com

Hey everyone, We literally just added 100 more trans girl scouts to the trans girl scout cookie list. The list is bigger than it has ever been in EITM history. Go get some cookies and make a trans scout's day!

-creaking noises- They published a fanfiction.

Crested geckos are hilarious Every time I see one it looks like this 🌒____🌘

A little comic about my crested gecko, Spurt.

Hmm we love to be tired all day, take way too long of a nap and still be tired all evening, go to bed early (because we’re tired and clearly need a full night’s sleep), and then suddenly as soon as the lights go out be the most awake anyone has ever been and then not fall asleep until 6:30am.

Thinks about how Langa Hasagawa and Buffy Summers could have a conversation about what it was like moving to a new town with their single moms and having after-dark hobbies they couldn’t tell anyone about and drawing the attention of a mysterious older man without needing to go into specifics.

US women’s figure skating is truly a bright spot right now. Love Amber and Alyssa and what they stand for!

Texas parents & librarians- we need you to: Ask questions. Get things in writing. Speak up publicly- if you can! Our word of the year for 2026 must be: COURAGE Join us in doing something- ANYTHING- to defend the right to read. If you need more ideas start here: bookriot.com/how-to-defen...

new york city is Real America. los angeles is Real America. chicago is Real America. minneapolis is Real America. seattle, portland, detroit etc etc. sick of this framing that it's otherwise. shut the fuck up

This is the sort of statement that was expected from every university president and law firm partner over the last year. That those statements weren’t made played a huge part in where we are now and people will remember.

Neurodivergence committee in my brain finally accepted the request for a BTVS (which I still love as the work of many people) rewatch and I think I just need to accept that some part of my brain will always be in “action-horror-comedy ensemble story with world-ending stakes”

Got almost enough sleep last night but not wanting to get out of bed because that’s where the Bad Things happen

If I write my Grelliam western AU, Sebastian will be an ordinary human man but you will know it’s him because he’ll still be making devil puns all the time.

Somebody mention TRIGUN?

Kris Dreemurr having free will for once⚔️❤️

sk8 and bravern having the same anniversary is wild. january 11th huge day for gay people

It's the 5 year anniversary of Sk8 and the 2 year anniversary of Bravern. If you haven't seen either of these, change that. These two series get it and have been vastly inspirational to me.

First post of 2026! 🐴

that being said i do miss how i made art back in 2020. here are a few favorites from #fe3h

Tell them we FREAKING HATE IT.

Today's aesthetic: fic that spends several thousand words establishing Kink World, the world structured entirely around the author's excruciatingly specific kink, does one sex scene in like chapter two, then spends the next thirty chapters interrogating the sociopolitical implications of Kink World.

Yay, hat obtained! 🐸 And a bonus scarf! But now his beans are cold, can we get him something to help?

Unexpectedly finally entering my Tolkien era in 2026.

ヒューフェル They dance for their sin.

LRP I think if you are writing fiction, narrative momentum is key in almost every genre. If you don’t want conflict, you need to have something really good to replace it with to maintain that momentum.

I think of conflict as any challenge, friction, or contest, whether it's between people or between people and their surroundings. I don't really go for hard rules, but most stories are improved by meaningful conflict and weakened by its absence, because conflict is a way of exposing the truth.

theres so much horrible shit about the murder of renee good, but there is something deeply terrifying about the way everyone from media to politicians have erased her wife from the story. ive seen far more mention of her late husband than her wife who was sitting next to her when she was murdered

Rankin-Bass Hobbit movie slaps. It does a lot with a little and a lot of the environment paintings are stunning. The Smaug sequences in particular have a lot of gravity.

This is a vetted fundraiser for the family of Renee Good, the woman who was killed by ICE in Minneapolis. www.gofundme.com/f/support-fo...

Could really use some good thoughts. Dog is in for some scary diagnostics. Really hoping for the best

for my fellow magfest goers. covid is still around and flu is at an all-time high for hospitalizations here in ny. if not taking precautions for yourself, take these ones for others

in robin hood & allen a dale (child's ballads, no. 138) robin (& co.) rescue allen from a tragic love story. here, an unfortunate marriage will still be arranged but it’s a set up to give the sheriff of nottingham an excuse to kill allan, so he still needs rescuing by robin and little john haha

One of the perennially awkward things about fandom right now for me and my interests is how a lot of whump/angst/hurt-comfort/character death doesn't really have a place in the SFW/NSFW divide.

30 years ago they were like we have to ban song lyrics for the children but it’s full steam ahead for the here’s how to do drugs until you die machine
