writers and artists will go "this isn't good enough." my brother in christ, you're creating something new out of nothing and expressing yourself creatively. your productivity and unrealistic standards of perfection do not define you or the worth of your art. you're doing great.

i realllly wish there was more diversity in whump (as all 3 main roles but especially whumpee). i'm not tryna say that the characters or their creators are bad or evil at all but it does get kind of old when the overwhelming majority of characters in whump are "skinny, usually white, male."

(from da server :D)

"whump from the PoV of a literal worm whumpee"

(someone else) "I want a sequel to worm whumpee. Maybe there’s a spell to change him back, maybe caretaker puts him inside a little glass terrarium with soft soil, fresh moss, and an endless supply of leaves. I need a sequel to this crack fiction that nobody takes seriously 🥺"

"of course whumpee gets better! whormpee is still inside this fish that ate them after whumper used them as bait. caretaker gets the fish as a gift, and while cleaning it they find this still alive, suspicious acting worm. instead of freaking out or just lying there limp, whormpee actively nuzzles up to caretaker. caretaker finds this odd but cute and puts them in a terrarium. as they observe whormpee they notice they act way different from other worms, and their suspicions grow. they know whumper’s a dabbler in dark magic, so they take whormpee to another sorcerer to see if their suspicions are true. they are. caretaker then has to embark on a quest to retrieve the necessary material components for the spell that will revert whormpee back into whumpee. whormpee is living their best life in this terrarium, the dirt is clean and moist, keeping them healthy, the moss and mini plants grow beautifully, and whormpee munches on the bacteria in the dirt. when caretaker returns, whormpee is wriggling ecstatically, happy they’re back. they go to this sorcerer and perform the spell, and whormpee, who was resting in caretaker’s hand, is transformed back to their original self, whumpee, who is now being held, embarrassingly naked, in caretaker’s arms. sorcerer, being a nice person gives them spare clothes and whumpee and caretaker go home and, for the first time ever, they drop onto the couch in unison, caretaker leaning on whumpee. caretaker’s exhausted from their travels and whumpee’s exhausted from the transformation. they fall asleep lying against each other."

Literally it sucks trying to find any actually interesting queer worldbuilding its all “society where everything is the same but people are sometimes gay” or “this world DOESNT have a patriarchy” or “there’s a third gender ig” if you’re really lucky

give me gender systems completely removed from anything we’d understand!! Give me a society that views romance and sex in a totally different light than we do!! Queer worldbuilding should be about. Yknow. Queering our social constructs!! Don’t just give me heteronormativity but gay!!!!

"nothing is real atoms never touch each other youve never touched anything in your life" ok. well when i pet my dog he is soft and when he licks my hand it is wet and that is far more real to me than whatevers going on at an atomic level

"ummm you know the writer only included that because they have a FETISH right?" is always so funny to me as a disparaging comment, because imagine if people spoke that way about nonsexual interests. "the lord of the rings? didnt the author only write that because he was interested in linguistics? thanks, i'll pass" "yeah, i used to love spongebob as a kid, but i can never see it the same after finding out stephen hillenburg is a marine biologist :/"

hbo max blocks screenshots even when I use the snipping tool AND firefox AND ublock which is a fucking first. i will never understand streaming services blocking the ability to take screenshots thats literally free advertising for your show right there. HOW THE HELL IS SOMEBODY GONNA PIRATE YOUR SHOW THROUGH SCREENSHOTS. JACKASS
