I feel like we really lost something when we started looking at writing as a reader-centric product meant to appeal to the desires of a specific audience rather than a writer-centric approach of someone writes whatever particular thing particular compels them/whatever weird thing the demons in their head want to talk about, and people out there who are also compelled, and/or relate, find that writing. A lot of discussions of writing really center around what readers want rather than a writer's exploration. Sometimes as a reader I don't know what I want. I click on a fic or pick up a book I'm not sure about but that looks interesting, and I love it. Reading what I expect to get is it's own joy, but we always need to expand our horizons and not get mad at creators for not always writing what we want/expect.
She’s the first person I told…everything. She was my confidant, my shield, my break in the shore. She hasn’t used my deadname since I changed it six years ago.
We haven’t been talking much these last few months. I moved ac
Across the country and she got…mean. She wanted me to come back, to stay depressed, to live in a bubble with her. I didn’t.
Got deadnamed by my oldest friend on my birthday. Deliberately. Through a meme.
When does happiness have anything to do with entertainment? Is it not just an attempt to run screaming from seeing your life with open eyes?

Aiden Pearce is INSANE.
Every fucking time I get stuck the answer is always -
“Oh you’re supposed to drive a car off a roof.”
“Oh you’re supposed to drive a car ON to a roof. With a fucking cinderblock. And a crane.
“Oh actually you see that caved in roof? Use it as a ramp. To drive onto a RAISED SUBWAY PLATFORM.”
The answer. Every. Fucking. Time.

So uh….some dude apparently recreated Adobe Photoshop feature-for-feature, for FREE, and it runs in your browser.
Anyway, fuck Adobe, and enjoy!
“I just really love it when the villain falls in love with the embodiment of human sunshine that masks a hidden darkness. It just speaks to me, you know?”
“It’s cause you’ve got a corruption kink.”
“No! Is that what that is?!”
Every day I am more and more impressed with how far fandom will reach to create new content. I love it. 12/10.
So are they banning kids from horror movies, or
Because that’s a whole genre. Any work with Finn Wolfhard is now illegal. Poor guy.
Or how about Game of Thrones? That’s pretty obscene. Recordings of Shirley Temple got pretty fucking obscene. How far does this stretch? Or Hell, Disney, Pixar, Dreamworks, they’re all known for hiding sex jokes in kids animation. Is Shrek on the naughty list? Pinocchio is arguably the most vulgar character and he *looks* like a child.
They must be banning half of Nickelodeon’s catalogue. After all, iCarly was 30% minors pandering to an adult man’s foot fetish.
My state is banning "obscene depictions of minors in content (or someone that looks like one)"
It's safe to say that they don't care about protecting real kids. If they did, child marriage and child beauty pageants would be outlawed.
More than likely, they're using this to conveniently label LGBT content as obscene and then ban it, regardless of context. But of course, if I question this, I'll be called a pedophile.
