TET: Snail Riders, Charge!

[Geneviev]

I know. It feels really weird when you realize that I was essentially a child (14, so not too young) when I joined, and now I'm almost a completely different person. Time is weird sometimes.


I don't think so. I do think that less people will be interested in anything associated with JK Rowling, though.

Yeah, time is really weird. I try to avoid looking at my oldest posts. They make me cringe a little. My beliefs have changed somewhat since then.

So have mine. It's actually like being a different person, in a sense. Old posts are scary for a reason.

I just try to separate the artist from the work

Yeah. Some of my early RP posts scare me. I've definitely gotten better at writing.

That's the best way to do it, but I know a lot of people who wouldn't want to support her at all.

Have a good night/day (depending on your timezone) y'all. I need some sleep.

Improvement is always good, at least.

Sleep is good. Good night from me.

tvtropes - Most Writers are Male

It's not that most writers are male it's that there's a lot of genre segregation going on, with the most popular genres in this segregation being mostly handled by men.

Men get attached more to action or comedy works while women get more attached to dramas or romance works. It just so happens that the former tends to worm their way into pop culture a lot more than the latter. (And usually the latter gets it for negative reasons)

Maybe more relevant for Stephen King and boobs - Author Appeal

When you exclude the few months when I stopped posting because of trying to figure out what I believed, it's been almost exactly two years. It's weird to think.

I forget how long i've been here. Partly because of my tendency to leave and return and leave again.

So you’re In and Out

[The Free Joy State]

Went to the hospital today for four hours. Seeing everyone wearing masks, every single person, was surreal. Felt safe, but it was surreal.

Wait till you get on a subway car with 90 people in masks.

When I first went out, and could only see eyes and I found it very strange. Now I find it strange if I don't see someone wearing a mask.

My doctor's surgery finally made them mandatory. Which is good, because the last time I had to go, the other patient wasn't wearing one and I thought: What the hell? This is the surgery time for people with fevers. (unrelated to COVID; in case anyone might be concerned).

I don't think so. I do think that less people will be interested in anything associated with JK Rowling, though.

I think that depends on the views, the art and also how much you like the artist.

I agree that -- with books and films, especially -- authors, directors etc are separate and distinct from their creations (which tend to, through the fans, take on a life of their own). So, someone can enjoy something created by JK Rowling while still utterly condemning her transphobia -- if they already enjoyed her work.

I, however, was never a fan of JK Rowling, and already thought her a rather unpleasant person, so this episode hasn't changed that.

[Infected Mushroom]

The movie people don’t care about her lol

I suppose not

I hear the next Fantastic Beasts movie will be set in Brazil. This sounds exciting (but I probably have too high hopes for the storyline).

[Heloin]

I am afraid

Ah, good, the fear is what makes it fun.

I still haven't been able to get the stains out of the billiard room.

I have not handled this pandemic very well tbh. Almost had a panic attack out in public last month. The mall had just reopened and I went in and it was almost deserted, save for a few people in masks, and a bunch of stores were closed. Suddenly I just got this overwhelming uneasy feeling and had to leave before I completely broke down.

That's why I try not to read about celebrities and their views and actions, because I don't want something they said or did to taint what I love.

[Geneviev]

I've come to the conclusion that I probably won't survive 2020. It's definitely the end times.

The masks are scary, in some way. It's like a reminder of everything that's happening. It's not normal in any sense.

Same. Also the river of blood that was my warning history for the first four years on this site.

I've come to the conclusion that I probably won't survive 2020. It's definitely the end times.

Indeed. I feel at this point, the Messiah is probably either Bernie Sanders, Jacinda Ardern, or a political leader who actually gives a fuck about the people and not the bourgeoisie.

That's quite unrealistic at this point. Sadly.

Probably. But I'm almost certain that He, in whatever form He assumes, would emerge as a politician and a theorist. If Jesus were alive 100 years ago, he'd almost certainly be Lenin.

He would be the same that he has always been, so that could probably be true.

I understand that. Everything's up in the air for a lot of people at the moment, and I think most people are a bit on edge.

Avoiding celebrity gossip is always a good idea anyway, I think.

Why are people so racist? We all taste the same.

I think they meant on earth. At least that was what I assumed.

Taste?

[Neanderthaland]

Why are people so racist? We all taste the same.

This is just objectively not true.

You ever eaten a vegan?

I saw someone say that the Rebelution is associated with Quiverfull, which is odd because I read it and am not Quiverfull.

The teen blog? Yep, it's associated with Quiverfull -- some of the other things associated with the... erm, movement are here.

Technically, Quiverfull isn't actually a denomination.

FWIW, I don't believe you are Quiverfull. But you do seem to have been seeped in some beliefs linked with Quiverfull. Not least, the "woman at home"... stuff.
