@velexiraptor oh ok good!

tbh i'm often that out of the loop myself LOL so take that rambling then mainly as me rebutting the dude popping in all "JUST THOUGHTCRIME"

"what has louis ck been accused of?"
"THOUGHTCRIME"

my dude i am fairly certain getting your dick out and masturbating on somebody is no longer a thoughtcrime. it's a dick crime. it's a crime done with the dick

@velexiraptor the article has more details but it's basically that he managed to pin several women into a situation where they felt unable to say no and then justified it to himself as "well they didn't say no to me pulling my dick out and masturbating at them, so it's fine!" right up until the people he harassed this way came forward together.

so... a bit more than thoughtcrime, even without the latest stuff in there

@velexiraptor i'm not sure about the more recent stuff, but during the metoo movement's peak (or aroundabouts), despite making a lot of jokes paying lip service to how women get unfairly harassed and it's wrong etc., he admitted to incidents of sexual harassment/sexual misconduct

he admitted to this and promised to 'step back' here https://www.nytimes.com/2017/11/10/arts/television/louis-ck-statement.html so i'm guessing that the latest debacle is him not stepping back as much as he promised

ok, i think my cishet ass would not be an appropriate audience for Femme's Guide to the Universe, but as an girl who is not that gr8 at girling, i am well tempted to see if any of my femme/sapphic/etc. friends would like a copy that i can quickly flip through when i'm over to visit or something.

because how tf DO you get a garter belt on but panties off

@AudreyJune oh i need this book.

may i also recommend the old standby weapon of the southern belle, ready to be whipped out from a bra and stabbed into someone's heart:

"oh dear. how embarrassing for you (that you've said that/think that/etc.)".

for full effect, pair with a look of utter devastating sympathy, a shake of the head, perhaps a "poor dear." or - for the true coup de grace - "bless your heart" before going to investigate the punch bowl.

@lyliawisteria this took me a hot second but then i groaned in real life in a way that made my dog momentarily very concerned for my wellbeing (and she considered trying to get in my mouth to investigate further). Excellently done

the next scene i need to write

is harry and ginny potter having a married couple conversation about if they should buy a trash incinerator, and whether to watch 101 Dalmations or Lilo and Stitch that evening with their chinese takeout.

so you know

VERY exciting, INTENSE ACTION kinda fanfic,

anyway stay tuned if "and then harry potter as an adult running on too much coffee and cigarettes as really bad coping strategies for ptsd ends up head detective on a case of trying to figure out who murdered these people who happen to all be stepsiblings with their dad being voldemort; takes a small detour to chat with a nice snake in a parish garden" is an idea that appeals to you, because oh boy guess what i'm writing

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,
