Free Armenia. 🇦🇲 Free Palestine. 🇵🇸 Stand with Ukraine. 🇺🇦they/zey/he ‖ adultask box always open unless specified otherwise!Nervous, shy nerd usually on Discord and with an overcrowded dashboard. Always deep in assorted fandom hell; DetCo brainrot has me in a vice (not that you’d know it ;p)This blog is NOT spoiler-free, but I tend to try to tag what I know or think are spoilers.
i learned about Tim Wong who successfully and singlehandedly repopulated the rare California Pipevine Swallowtail butterfly in San Francisco. In the past few years, he’s cultivated more than 200 pipevine plants (their only food source) and gives thousands of caterpillars to his local Botanical Garden (x)
gentle reminder that people do not have to like/ship the popular ships in a fandom. widely popularized ships do not equal canon ships and even if they were, people are allowed to have different pairings they prefer. if one fandom creator popularized things, it does not mean that every single other creator has to also do that thing.
please be respectful and considerate of the people making free content for your enjoyment as well - you never know whats going on on the other end of the screen to cause an author to not upload a new chapter or why the artist hasn't posted new art in three weeks. their boundaries are just as important as anyone else's and deserve to be respected as a basic human right.
if you're a minor, do not participate in 18+ spaces! this is for your safety as well as the safety of everyone else. if anyone over the age of 18 insists its okay for you to participate in nsfw topics with them, run. be careful with what you're posting online, too. you never know who has ill intent when interacting with you.
be also incredibly mindful that not everyone wants to participate in fandom discourse. proship/antiship discourse, ship wars, "what are your thoughts on [insert problem here]", - these are good and fun in their own respects, but can be incredibly distressing if brought up out of nowhere.
fandom is supposed to be for fun, and it isn't fun if its stressful and dangerous.

I don’t want to be 55 and have no trans or disabled friends left. stop dying . get up off the floor we’re surviving and experiencing new and good things or I’ll kick everyone’s ass
adults are always talking about how “kids will do anything to get out of school” and okay, first of all that’s not true, but I think we really need to ask why that idea holds so much sway.
children’s brains are hard-wired to take in new information and acquire new skills. consider, for a moment, just how thoroughly our society had to fuck up the concept of education for it to be a normal thing to assume kids are universally desperate to avoid learning.
