Ethical or not to make pony designs based on Taylor Swift's album covers and then sell them so I can buy groceries?

#misc #this is mostly a rhetorical question #also... doesnt have to be pony designs. #they could be cats. or deer #i think the swifties have deignated Taylor's fursona as a cat #but she gives off big deer energy to me #my phone keeps trying to correct swift's to swiftest which isncertainly something #((i know it's unethical. ill probably at least make the designs and share them anyways))

why is it that samifer brings out this binary separation of "it's either fluff or it's fuckedup&evil" in The Community. i feel like for most other ships people just assume that there are shades of grey in how messed up a dynamic can be without needing to make whole categories about it. maybe not though maybe it's like that everywhere and i'm just not paying enough attention

Egwene and the rich girl are going to get together right?

#what kind of meeting is that if they don't #this is mostly a rhetorical question #rather than a request for book lore #I think they should get together #the wheel of time #aff watches wheel of time

I am very curious as to how posts actually breach containment, especially when they're untagged or only tagged with specific things (such as a fandom, if it's related to one). do people just search up words and happen to find it? are they just following a person who's into a certain thing who reblogged it, and they reblog it from them not realizing it's specific to something?

it just baffles me as to how it happens. I've been on here for. a pretty damn long time. and I've never had a post breach containment. does it require high follower count to begin with? can a person with, say... 5 followers have a post that breaches containment?? how?

#🔪.text #i'm thinking about this one flight rising post that severely breached containment #and i'm just so baffled as to how it happened when the person only tagged it with flight rising things #what was the process?? #what caused it to breach containment and how did it happen?? #i'm just so confused by it #this is mostly a rhetorical question #but if anyone has like. an ACTUAL answer and not a guess #please i'd love to hear #the whole thing fascinates me

hey so what mental illness is it when I convince myself that I have a deadly disease all bc I saw a tik tok and how do I get rid of it in 2-3 business days yeah thanks xoxo

#this is mostly a rhetorical question #I am just a severe hypochondriac it’s the anxiety #don’t have any symptoms and I’m relatively healthy but my brain thinks it’s fun to make my life harder #see I want to blame it on my anxiety but it’s pretty severe but I don’t want to dwell on it or I’ll get freaked out #tw paranoia // i convince myself on a day to day basis that all of my teeth are rotten and they’re all going to fall out #cw anxiety #cw paranoia #just in case #delete later

Even when the women aren't breasting boobily, sometimes you can just tell something was written by a cishet man. Why is it sometimes just so easy to tell????

Even when it's not offensive or anything, the senses just tingle. Then you double check the author and are like "yeah, that checks out."

#yes this is about the current book I'm reading #it's not offensive or gross #it's just like #my guy is so clueleas lol #this is mostly a rhetorical question #i know it is ignorance to other perspectives #and living in a world where your gender and sexuality are the “default” #it can really limit your perspective etc

Miguel O'Hara being of Mexican and Irish descent is, like, yeah, of COURSE he became a control freak who is projecting his issues onto everyone else because he isn't able to forgive himself for a mistake he made and the regret is eating him alive. Catholic Guilt is like that.

#I know it's more serious than that but lmao let me make my Catholic jokes #ATSV spoilers #Miguel O'Hara #Across the Spider-Verse #Across the Spiderverse #What the fuck are people tagging this movie tbh #That question is rhetorical. Mostly.

the strangest part of comic culture is no one can agree which writers are GOOD. like I see post after post like “of course [comic] is bad [writer] wrote it.” We all have beef with everyone in the industry. like what the fuck. are there any good writers

How much of the self is present in the ancestor?

#i was feeling really bad and dysphoric so i picked up the crayons. as you do #and this evolved out of it and it got me thinking about a “return to animal” type sentiment #like i was watching videos of apes last night and thinking how different it must be to simply exist in your body #without hiding it in clothes and gender conformity and such #and then i was thinking about the idea of “returning” to a state of being you haven't even existed in #couldn't exist in. because you are a product of what came before you etc #(and ofc apes are almost as different from the common ancestor as we are so it wouldn't be returning to ape but like yknow #the abstract idea of the beings we were before we were humans.) #and like why do we call it returning if we ourselves were never there? how much of ourselves actually exists in the past? #why is it that we feel enough kinship to the past that we say “return” when we think about existing there? #anyway. rhetorical questions mostly. this drawing isn't exactly about that train of thought #but i felt i needed to put it somewhere. and this is where i thought of it and i like the way the caption looks #this drawing is sort of about the feverish desire to rid myself of physical discomfort #griffffdraws

Vampire familiars are so fucking interesting by the way. Both in a Watsonian 'who are you, what brought you here, why do you STAY in this position, what keeps you' way and a Doylist ''how did we go from R. M. 'tried to take down Dracula with his bare hands when he realized he was getting scammed' Renfield to the current common interpretation of vampire familiars as complete pushovers' way

#vampire thoughts #classic lit #because lets be real im mostly thinking about renfield #noone tell me if there's a familiar in the vampyre or carmilla i havent gotten to read those yet im assuming he is the first one <3 #the answer to my rhetorical question is that most media following dracula 1931 tends to take more inspiration from that than the book #and then from eachother jsdf so you get things like the renfield 2023 movie where renfield is literally just jonathan harker #but he also eats bugs jksdfs

waUGh i just enjoy thinking abt where hc phil is from. it’s not important to his character rlly. bc ya know, most of the focus is just on the fact that he exists in s4 surrounded by gods (and sometimes their graves and remnants of a war). but like past all previous hc worlds, where’s this guy from? has he always been alone?

#like did he ever have a previous life before hardcore? or did he just suddenly exist? #these questions r mostly rhetorical #im jsut like. thinking abt it again #depends on how u look at it #esp if u lean more into realistic aspect or mined craft aspects #and it doesn’t matter but i do think abt it sometimes #just for fun #thought experiments if u will #philza hardcore #🐀
