What A Good Day To Remember That Butch Lesbians (ESPECIALLY Trans, Poc, And/or Fat Butch Lesbians) Aren’t

"Stop saying 15 year olds with weird interests are cringe, they're 15" this is true however you should also stop saying adults with weird interests are cringe because who gives a shit

Reblog to give the person you reblogged this from motivation to work on their WIPs.

The Eiffel tower is going to be deconstructed.

just remembered a fic on AO3 (or more likely LJ because it had that distinct 00's experimental vibe) that appeared double-spaced oddly, in that some paragraphs would be spaced normally and others would have double or even triple spaces in between. it was about one half of the otp getting over the other's death (or coma, can't remember which), so all the comments were about how poignant the use of visual spacing was as a means to convey all the emotional holes in the character's life.

and then the author replied like... *giggle* guys it's NOT double spaced. try selecting the whole text

and we were all like "no WAY"

but we selected the text, and yes!!!

the "holes" in the story? they were actually lines and actions from the dead/coma character's ghost, rendered invisible to the eye by the simple trick of coloring the text the exact same as the background, revealed by nothing more than a click and a drag of the mouse

a story about the profound loneliness of losing your the partner of your life and having to make do without them, without anything to fill the holes they'd left behind, suddenly became a story about the profound helplessness of seeing someone you love suffer from your absence while you are right there, unable to do anything about it, unable to communicate that you love them enough to suffer unseen and unheard with them, just to keep them company they'll never know about

it was then that I truly realized how *superior* the digital medium is to plain printed paper, how the medium and the format can add to a story.

I think about that fic about once a year. I wish I could find it again

WHACKA FROM PAPER MARIO

the hot new trend is "guard posting"

REALLY IMPORTANT POST: google has updated their inactivity policy, and will be purging accounts that have been inactive for over 2 years starting in december 2023. PLEASE archive any content you want to preserve. upload it to the internet archive. youtube wasnt a feasible archive to begin with and definitely isn't one now. google drive is now a much riskier thing to host your archive on.

i have an entire list of resources with guides and tools you can use right here. my website and tumblr are mcyt focused but this should go for any video (and any other documents, audio, etc) you think is worth preserving.
