And another one!

I see my nemesis getting a fic that I love
And I'm like, "Fuck you" 
I guess my 10k letter wasn't enough
I'm like, "Fuck you and fuck morbane, too"
Said, "If I was a long commenter, they woulda gamed for me"
Ha, now ain't that some shit?
(Ain't that some shit?)
And although there's pain in my chest
I still comment it's the best
And runs to coal to shout "Fuck you"

I was not being serious

really don't understand how anyone can have a libido, desire, and pursue sex and still somehow claim they 'don't experience sexual attraction'

Good example!

A quick Reddit search tells me that of the two verified actual classified-secret leaks on War Thunder forums, one was a 20-year-old tank and one was a 30-year-old tank. So yeah, decades-old stuff like that is still very much classified and relevant.

I'm writing a serious fic about Real World badness, and I suspect this is the kind of thing that is opt-in (though my recip did not DNW it) but also this is the only thing I could write and it's kind of taken me over

it's easy, you just have to want to be very speshul

If you’re asking earnestly, Ace by Angela Chen is a great read and dives into the history of the a-spec community, the history of the term itself and its definitions, and reasons people might use the term if they are a not… a gold star ace, if you will.

A lot of these things that look contradictory or confusing make sense once you know more about the community and its history! Even if there are people using the term because they want to be “speshul”, that means there’s something about that term/community that they want to be part of or that resonates with them IME. Not easy to intuit for an outsider, but that doesn’t mean it’s just random nonsense.

It's because they're not like all those mindless sluts, exercising the tiniest amount of discernment in selecting a partner to have sex with means that they are operating on a different plane than the straw horndogs that they believe make up the non-asexual population

Oh no, someone who believes that aphobia exists won't write fic for me, this is tragic, where will I find some unreadable shit to laugh at now

so this is just trolling but i’m very amused by the idea that there are people out there taking other people’s orientations THIS personally. like no, dude, that random stranger is not asexual for the sole purpose of slutshaming you 😂

I mean, like, I have read that tumblr post. And that other one. Where it felt like maybe the person had some shame issues to unpack or some harmful religious nonsense coming through. But most of the time people are just figuring themselves out and it isn't about anyone else.

Canonically, my lead and basically all of her friends and neighbors. I wonder if I can leverage that somehow.

Oh uh, I meant... there's a request for the Monkey Prince comics!

Yeah, nailed it, first try.

Oh you're right, I was just amazed that I remembered that movie at all lol

And yeah that was me! Anything military is gonna be a mess of cover-ups imo, successful and botched, all layered on top of each other like a deceptive lasagna. It's cover-ups all the way down! *tips tinfoil hat*

Well I guess they succeeded because I definitely don't consider Yuletide the "by Christians for Christians" exchange.

Re: Brainstorming help - Alien Biology

(Anonymous) 2023-11-17 02:30 pm (UTC)(link)
What's a funny or unusual weakness for an alien to have that would seem very unexpected to a human? The alien biology in this canon is very flexible so pretty much anything is up for grabs. Think Vulcans being intoxicated by chocolate, along those lines.

I find this weirdly reassuring, I was starting to get worried that coal was dying if we'd made it this far into the year without any acephobia or transphobia trolling. Good to have you back, horrible coalies!

(Anonymous) 2023-11-17 02:41 pm (UTC)(link)
To be fair to them, that was back when we were still doing "Dear Santa" letters and "stocking stuffers" and stuff - they did really de-christmasify it after that.

My absolute favorite is the concept that they might be at risk of getting pregnant from things like being in certain air temperatures or smelling certain smells - lots of Earth creatures are either parthenogenetic or their bodies store up reproductive material after mating until conditions are right, at which point a pregnancy starts spontaneously, so I like imagining an intelligent species that evolved in a resource-poor environment being like "Is there citrus in this? If I eat citrus I might get pregnant" or "STOP FLASHING THE REC ROOM LIGHTS UNLESS YOU WANT ME TO LAY EGGS AGAIN"

Why don't you make it even more FFA and complain that everyone thinking you're a stupid fuck is ableism

Oh my dear, I wouldn't complain about that, bless your heart.
