Morbane's coal

In quantum wankchanics, Morbane's coal is a thought experiment, sometimes described as a paradox, of quantum wankerposition. In the thought experiment, a hypothetical gift may be considered simultaneously both the fic of your dreams (TFOYD) and coal, while it is unread state, as a result of its fate being linked to a random subatomic event that may or may not occur.

The Coaltide interpretation implies that, after a while, the gift is simultaneously TFOYD and coal. Yet, when a coalie clicks on their gift, the coalie sees the gift either TFOYD or coal, not both TFOYD and coal. This poses the question of when exactly quantum wankerposition ends and reality resolves into one possibility or the other.

Holding on tight, coalie. Your recipient got a present from you, and has come around to thank you, that's it; anything else is your anxiety speaking. It'll be okay. Be brave and after this we can get ice cream.

I'm reading this as Rust sleeping in the Crash trunk (they mention "grenades", which is a long-standing question I have about canon...why does he have those). Which is just a hilarious image, given that it's like 3 feet long.

The image of Rust sleeping under a tarp(?) in the bed of his pickup is sending me, thanks.

Earnestly, do you want to forward the email to me and I can reassure you that it's fine?

  1. Eleven across the two fandoms I wrote for. One hadn't been eligible for many years (if at all) and probably won't be again. The other is new this year and definitely won't be eligible again. I enjoyed all the fics written for both, but didn't think any of the others were vastly better than mine.
  2. Four fics across three out of six requested fandoms. They're all quite short and fairly enjoyable, although my gift was my favourite.

Aw, thanks, that made me smile. Right.

That's really kind of you. I've opened it now and it's short and enthusiastic and I still feel guilty but at least I know!

Oh hey, you're replying to internet singularity coalie. They were dogging me on another thread last post.

Idk, it seems like the recip did ask for POV switch? So I would expect some quoting of canon. There definitely should be at least 1000 words of original material though

Yes, you are wrong.

You're (rightfully) saying people should be comfortable with you using the site and doing exchanges differently. Yet you fail to extend the same courtesy to those people.

They get rude and accuse of random stuff when they can't argue you into agreeing with them.

You're not accusing anyone specific of anything nasty by saying "god there's a lot of misogyny in fandom". If you feel accused by that, that's a personal problem. Or a hit dog hollering, your choice.

Uh huh. Anyway, I'm a slasher, slash fandom is full of misogyny, I don't really care if you want to throw a fit about me saying that. Cry more.

This would sound cooler if it wasn't you, again, doing this exhausting trolling every single day. Get a life.
