This is why I went from enjoying My Hero Acadamia but being exasperated by it a lot of the time during the first few seasons, to absolutely loving the later seasons.

We've got to stop writing stories about defeating villains without also examining the systems that create them.

Villains aren't reacting to nothing, and they aren't upset at a world that works.

I'm looking at you:
-Supetheroes
-Fantasy books
-SO much of the romantasy sphere
-dark academia
-ETC

I am not allowed to buy tea cups or mugs because if I started I would never stop.

I need people to understand this: you have no choice about whether your protest will be viewed as legal. If the cops choose to make your permitted protest illegal, they will be able to charge you.

I didn't read the quoted post first and was very confused about how/why people were milking bugs (i. e., insects).

Oh no. I'm down for some pretty complex games (Tzolk'in, Gaia Project) but when multiple charts start to be involved, that's probably past my capacity.

Game Components of Europa Universalis
Game Board: A map of Europe and the Americas, divided into various provinces and areas of influence.
Counters and Chits: Small, detailed counters representing armies, navies, explorers, and settlers.
Dice: Used for resolving conflicts and determining outcomes.
Charts and Tables: Extensive charts for economic, military, and diplomatic activities.
Rulebook: Detailed instructions on setup, gameplay, and rules.
Player Aids: Guides for each nation, outlining their unique abilities and goals.

I'm 33 and I used to, now I just don't read much at all. But pretty sure if you slapped some X-men comics in front of me I would still devour them within a second.

Two spaniels are sitting patiently in front of a dog treat stall. Their human is giving them treats to taste-test and so far, they approve of them all.
But what is this?!
Their human's moving on now?
No more treats?! (Disaster!)
They both flop on the ground. No treats. No moving. That's final.

Everyone has a 1-2 season TV show they sorely miss and not enough people knew about that you are always praising the heavens about.

What's yours?

This is why I said no when my mother in law asked if I wanted to go to a Wicked sing along screening. Would I be happy to hear her, the well-respected voice teacher, sing along? Yes, definitely. Do I want to hear other random people trying to sing Defying Gravity? Absolutely not.

Possibly, which is weird because as an ace(ish) person I find dicks somewhat offputting in real life, but it seems I really do enjoy fictional dicks quite a lot.

l have also found, even though I am a bi(ish) cis woman, that m/m sex scenes are my favorite to read. Haven't figured out exactly why yet.

"I don't want people to settle for glorifying Sissyphus."

That hit me hard.

Sheryl Weikal and the colorful Parrotlegals @leftistlawyer.com · Aug 22

throw tomatoes at me because I belonged to a system that threw people in cages or out of their homes. I want people to dream of and build a world where people are never evicted or incarcerated. I don't want people to settle for glorifying Sisyphus. This is temporary. A better world is permanent.
