Harp the Wigglytuff @wigglytuffitout@computerfairi.es

anyway i guess it's just more motivation for me to actually continue writing all this harry potter fanfiction, because sometimes your motivation for writing fanfiction is marching up to a creator and going NO NO NO NO! YOU'VE MADE SUCH A FUCKING HASH OF IT, THESE ARE ALL MINE NOW. I'M CONFISCATING ALL THIS UNTIL YOU LEARN BETTER.

so part of me is very angry at the racism on display, but another part of me is continually going apeshit about how it seems like everyone went out of their way to write in a far more fucking boring time. like it's not just morally wrong, but it's storytelling that expends a lot more effort in order to be incredibly bland. the flavor, the meat of it, the exciting stuff was RIGHT THERE, and there was a heavy detour to AVOID THE INTERESTING STUFF????

ETERNAL SCREAMING. I DON'T FUCKEN GET IT YALL

it's like going and ordering a beautiful birthday cake, fussing about the flavor combinations, doing extended taste testing, and so on, paying for the wonderful expensive cake, bringing it out at a party, having everyone cheer and line up for the cake to be cut after lighting all the candles and singing,

and then removing one birthday candle, licking the frosting off the bottom, and tossing the entire cake into the trash.

?????????????????? WHY

i mean, the obvious racism aside - and i am aware that i can only say that sitting on my fucking THRONE of wypipo privilege - ISN'T THAT THE EXCITING PART OF THE SETTING?

a story set in harlem in the 1920s, but a harlem that has no black people in it, is just... it's bizarre. it's creepy. i don't understand why you would choose that setting and then leave out the interesting bit.

i'm not sure i'll ever watch the Fantastic Beasts movies to be honest, i keep sort of meaning to, but the first one just makes my brain pull up a BSOD when i remember one of the critiques of it:

a story set in Harlem in the 1920s with like.... no black people....

what the fuck lol

honestly the more i hear of the latest endeavors, especially the Fantastic Beasts movies, the more i'm really glad i fell out of hardcore love with the Harry Potter series in high school and stopped holding JK Rowling as a serious amazing role model years and years ago

@glyzinite it's the new hipster answer to yule logs.

,,,i wrote that as a joke but honestly that's what it might honest to god be because youtube now thinks there's a hot fad on yule log videos,

@AzureHusky

(jk rowling voice) yes but she's pretty and high class and that's why it's allowed unlike y'know voldemort's mom! you see i specifically said how ugly merope is, therefore,

deep space nine is the best star trek, hands down.

and of deep space nine, the best episode is trials and tribble-ations. hands down. no debate.

don't @ me you know i'm right

ah yes, my favourite coffee shop

real good parts of (mammalian i guess) pet ownership:

1. warm thing to pet and hold.... softe

2. making increasingly ludicrous nicknames

3. incorporating said nicknames into little songs you sing at them

@breakfastgolem to be fair, i think this is one of the qualities of particularly online communities that i think human society is still having hiccups accepting.

you could get far more philosophical and say that nothing ever exists in the same state for long periods of time due to the very nature of time, of course, but i feel like online there is that same process, sped up immensely, and without any physical objects to keep ourselves grounded with. so, it's a bit of a head trip

me: haha, all right, i think i'm starting to learn the local lingo and what people talk about here more!

me: wait

me: ....i have no idea if what is being discussed there is a political movement or a programming language.

me: ....nevermind

@Dayglochainsaw this is a good and noble use of technology.

....that was on normal though so that s+ was easy to get, but still.
