Greetings! The name is Time Lizzy, or Time as my friends call me. They/Them pronouns. I love to try new things, draw, sing, dance, garden, and I do some witchcraft in my free time. I'm a Hetalia role playing partner if you guys are interested.
I envy soft glassblowers. If Flameworkers want to do this we need a lathe or hand tools that havent been in production since 2003 and thus have to be made custom. >.< *shakes punty at them*
Y’all think being in a goth relationship means wearing white makeup together but Mary Shelley lost her virginity on her mother’s grave so maybe step it up.
Mary Shelley carried her husband’s heart around and lived in a crypt after he died. No one will ever be as goth as Mary Shelley.
She also wasn’t carrying around, like, a mummified heart. Her husband’s heart had calcified, meaning it had grown bone within itself and possibly around itself, and it is this heart of bone which she carried. When she was young she carried it wrapped in a silk pouch, and when older it was kept in her desk, wrapped in a page from his poem Adonais. Adonais was one of his last poems, in which a deceased poet’s subjects (nature, Spring, the stars) mourn him, and long to join him in death. Then the narrator tells them do not mourn, for he has gone beyond where the minds and emotions of humans matter, to the Natural Spirit that is the source of all beauty.
Of his poems, it is this which she wrapped his heart in. There is none. more. goth.
It’s sad to realize that peak goth was hit so long ago
You simply couldn’t force yourself to study today, even after sitting down and turning all distractions off?
Anxiety? Stress? A complete and utter lack of motivation? Procrastination due to a fear of failure? An annoying ass combination of all of em?
That’s perfectly alright. It happens to everyone once in a while.
Give your mind a break.
Drink some water. Kick back with your favourite music. Read a book.
And at the end of it, do something simple. Finish that one question you were struggling with. Try and remember just one of the many facts you’ve gotta remember. Finish a teeny tiny portion of your assignment. No more than a paragraph.
If you did very little today, that’s ok. You still accomplished something, right? Not every day has to be very productive.
Then there’s the pacifist and there’s the genocide
In total they’re 31 different timelines that have an infinite amount of different dialogue within themselves depending on how you talk to every character.
I’m just pointing this out cus I was growing a bit tired of people thinking ONLY about either the PACIFIST or GENOCIDE route, which together make only 6% of the game, where the genocide route itself is 3 times shorter than a normal one.
Most of the times the neutral endings give us more information about the game and it’s characters because of the different situations they’re being put in.
Frisk from Glitchtale explored every single out of these routes, line per line, variable per variable, he made sure he had seen it all before trying a genocide route. And people still think he’s “only got a pacifist or a genocide side” with “no inbetweens” when, as you can see, most of the things he did in game were just… toying around with people’s life for fun and giggles or being really nice to some, while being a jerk to others, some of them good things some of them bad things.
My point is, Frisk is not “your pacifist child” just how chara is not “your crazy genocide kid”, both did good and bad things, and that’s what makes them interesting characters.
The Americans With Disabilities Act (ADA) was just reformed so that disabled people can’t sue public businesses for discrimination because it would be discrimination against that business.
50% of all US murder victims by police officers are disabled
Bathrooms, entryways, seating, parking, and other public spaces are segregated for disabled people
Disabled children are required to go to segregated schools
Disabled people can’t…
Get married without losing their health insurance which is a death sentence
Have savings accounts
Have more than $2000 at any given time
Own or inherent property
Own jewelry worth more than $100 or other items worth more than $500 without reporting them to the government
It is legal for a parent to murder a disabled child if they consider that child an undue burden
This is an extremely short list of things you are leaving out of your social justice
NTABs okay to reblog
But… wait… aren’t those public services like parking and stuff supposed to make things easier for them? Tailored just for them? Because we got to skip the rest of the line at a ride at Harry Potter world cuz my mom was in a wheelchair. Also, people without disabilities park in spots reserved for disabled people all the time. If it was real segregation, then we would be making things harder for them, not easier. Also, seating at movie theaters and the like is on the center aisle so they don’t have climb up stairs. Bathrooms are bigger for them so they don’t have to squeeze their wheelchair into a tiny cubicle. THIS SHOULD NOT BE A PART OF YOUR ARGUMENT??????
Segregation is not defined as “making life harder for one group of people.” Its actions or policies meant to separate people.
Consider: What if, like, ALL bathrooms and buildings were accessible, instead of just a select few? Yes, these special accomodations are better than NOTHING, but that doesn’t inherently make them IDEAL.
I don’t disagree with you about the bathroom thing, and I certainly wish that all public places would have accessability, but an honest question for you: what would you propose us to do otherwise? What would you propose to make conditions ideal? And I still think it shouldn’t be part of the argument if the same can be used as a counter-argument.
If you wish to take part in any fandom, you need to accept and respect these three laws.
If you aren’t able to do that, then you need to realise that your actions are making fandom unsafe for creators. That you are stifling creativity.
Like vaccination, fandom only works if everyone respects these rules. Creators need to be free to make their fanart, fanfics and all other content without fear of being harassed or concern-trolled for their creative choices, no matter whether you happen to like that content or not.
The First Law of Fandom
Don’t Like; Don’t Read (DL;DR)
It is up to you what you see online. It is not anyone else’s place to tell you what you should or should not consume in terms of content; it is not up to anyone else to police the internet so that you do not see things you do not like. At the same time, it is not up to YOU to police fandom to protect yourself or anyone else, real or hypothetical.
There are tools out there to help protect you if you have triggers or squicks. Learn to use them, and to take care of your own mental health. If you are consuming fan-made content and you find that you are disliking it – STOP.
The Second Law of Fandom
Your Kink Is Not My Kink (YKINMK)
Simply put, this means that everyone likes different things. It’s not up to you to determine what creators are allowed to create. It’s not up to you to police fandom.
If you don’t like something, you can post meta about it or create contrarian content yourself, seek to convert other fans to your way of thinking.
But you have no right to say to any creator “I do not like this, therefore you should not create it. Nobody should like this. It should not exist.”
It’s not up to you to decide what other people are allowed to like or not like, to create or not to create. That’s censorship. Don’t do it.
The Third Law of Fandom
Ship And Let Ship (SALS)
Much (though not all) fandom is about shipping. There are as many possible ships as there are fans, maybe more. You may have an OTP (One True Pairing), you may have a NOTP, that pairing that makes you want to barf at the very thought of its existence.
It’s not up to you to police ships or to determine what other people are allowed to ship. Just because you find that one particular ship problematic or disgusting, does not mean that other people are not allowed to explore its possibilities in their fanworks.
You are free to create contrarian content, to write meta about why a particular ship is repulsive, to discuss it endlessly on your private blog with like-minded persons.
It is not appropriate to harass creators about their ships, it is not appropriate to demand they do not create any more fanworks about those ships, or that they create fanwork only in a manner that you deem appropriate.
These three laws add up to the following:
You are not paying for fanworks content, and you have no rights to it other than to choose to consume it, or not consume it. If you do choose to consume it, do not then attack the creator if it wasn’t to your taste. That’s the height of bad manners.
Be courteous in fandom. It makes the whole experience better for all of us.
