Someday I’m gonna need to actually write about this conservative tactic of demanding we basically turn off the part of our brain that interprets words and finds meaning when we talk to them. If they don’t specifically say some exact words, well you can’t respond to those words. You can’t assume JK Rowling is saying she’s a victim of a witch hunt by trans people because she never said those exact words in that exact order.
It’s a fascinating form of intellectual cowardice, where they want to essentially say something without ever being held responsible for saying that thing.
No matter how suspicious you might find the neighbor who never opens their blinds, they will never be as suspicious as the neighbor who wants free reign to peek in through people’s windows.
McDonald’s giving away free fries if you use their mobile app and then updating the terms and conditions to say if you use this app you waive your right to trial in any class action lawsuits and have to do mandatory arbitration is INSANE
THAT FABRIC IS NOT CALLING TO YOU! LEAVE IT ALONE!
boy it’s me the textiles speaking to you inside your head. you need the yarn. you need thread. your soul hungers to participate in the act of creation. you must feed it. you must buy so many beads.
adding that tag here because it’s vitally important: Monkey Wrench is truly a labor of love with a tiny crew. no marketing department, no distributor, just two people (one writer, one writer/animator) doing their damnedest to put together a show.
they do hire help for animation, clean-up, music, sound, and voices, but check this—the creators are also the “office” admins. the wrangling of assignment, payment, communication and coordination, the reel reviews and hiring that’s usually handled by admin staff in a studio is all handled by Tito and Zeurel themselves. and that’s on top of Zeurel doing the bulk of animation and cleanup AND backgrounds and video editing by himself.
YouTube’s constant algorithm shenanigans means there isn’t a lot of return on these—poor ep 2 was brutalized by it, which means things are in fact looking desperate. Ep 3 is shaping up to be when things really start kicking into gear for the story, but YT tomfoolery means we could lose Monkey Wrench already if not enough eyeballs get on it.
Zeurel’s stories always take you along for an engaging ride with plenty of thoughtful worldbuilding, engaging characters, and gut-wrenching twists. don’t let this one die on the vine! keep spreading the word, and be sure to watch ep 3 when it comes out in December!
The israeli army deliberately continues to launch rockets directly near Al-Quds hospital in Gaza inwith the aim of forcing medical staff, displaced individuals and patients to evacuate the hospital. This has caused significant damage to hospital departments and exposed residents and patients to suffocation.
dni if you support relationships between vampires and the vampire they sired. i am so serious, i dont care what your justification is, that is an unforgivable power imbalance. its almost as bad as vampire human relationships (and if you support that i hope you get a splinter in the heart)

op what the fuck is your problem? more maggots in your brain than usual? go out into the real underworld and touch some graveyard dirt. i know at least 7 vampires who are in happy healthy relationships with the vampire who sired them. me included! this may shock you but we started dating when i was human and she was a vamp!

i keep seeing people saying this shit and honestly i think it stems from the infantalization of humans. humans are capable of making decisions for themselves. do some vampires abuse their powers over humans? of course! but you cant assume that every single human vampire relationship (or sire and sired relationship for that matter) is some unhealthy power imbalance, especially when you dont even know them!!!

i think op is forgetting that humans can be just as harmful to vampires as they can be to humans. dont tell me you completely just forgot about the existence of vampire slayers

next thing you know op is gonna be saying that a hundred year age gap between fully fledged vampires is problematic
👻 corpsecourse Follow
it literally is. i dont care if you are a 1000 years old vampire, if your significant other is 100 years older than you they have more life experience than you. god you guys are stupid why dont you all step into a sunbeam
