hello followers and mutuals; my url used to be markrial until very recently
lets hear it for transgenderism and faggotry. can I get a round of applause for transgenderism and faggotry
wow players have really stepped up their inclusivity lately i really appreciate it
my brother started calling our cat "doobie brother" which he then lengthened to "dubious brother" and has since morphed into "brother dubious" like he's some sort of fucked up little monk
it obviously makes sense, but one of my friend’s kids is going into swim class, and all the parents got an email today going, “when little ones are scared, they cling on to instructors. PLEASE trim their nails.”
i don’t know why that’s so funny to me, but just. the idea of this poor, scratched swim instructor having to make sure to email before each class as a reminder to please declaw the children SENT me.
When I taught swim lessons I remember trying to delicately ask parents not to cover their child in shea/coconut/olive oil before lessons.
“I understand your skincare regimen and wanting to protect their tender baby flesh from the pool chemicals, but COULD YOU NOT OIL YOUR CHILD LIKE A GREASED PIG before tossing them in the POOL? Thanks EVER so much!”

The curse of modern fandom is that it has allowed fans to get even closer to artists, but they won't view the artists as people.
Human limits, human mistakes, human feelings, human needs, are never ascribed to artists, and when other fans rightfully point out, "hey, humans are making this, maybe don't harass them or demand they cater to your personal tastes," it gets shut down under, "uh, people who make popular mainstream things are automatically Public Figures who are also probably rich, so eat the rich and destroy artists over every perceived minor fault. <3"
Even though there's, y'know, a really big strike currently going on because those artists are very much not rich or influential or in control of the bullshit.
The more friends I make in the various facets of the entertainment industry, and the more widely my own art gets shared, the more I realize that a lot of y'all genuinely don't see artists as human beings if they meet some arbitrary standard of Being Known Online.
There is no amount of online fame that makes someone subhuman and a valid target for blatant disrespect and harassment.
Contrary to popular belief, you do not actually own and control a piece of art just because you like it a lot. The artists are not subject to your personal whims and tastes. They owe you nothing.
This post is not about people who only make fanart and fanfic. This post is about the working class artists making your favorite blorbos.
You know, the ones who are on strike right now? Because they're treated like shit by the executives? And recently an anonymous executive literally issued a threat saying that they want the writers of Hollywood to go homeless?
You don't stop being a human being deserving of respect just because your art gets famous.
Fan content is cool and all, but this is about the working class artists who do this shit to make a living and get abused by both the executives and the fandoms that spring up around their work.
hey bestie i heard your 1850s doctor diagnosed you with hysteria and i’m here to help
sometimes, the only way i know my roommate is still alive is the $30 cheese that appears and disappears from our fridge

BLOOD CIRCLE
So glad that non-scouts can appreciate the term blood circle properly.
