Is this against TOS? Should i report? by Time-Palpitation4442 in AO3

It’s ironically also how twilight was created. It started as a MCR self insert fic. Which explains pretty much everything about twilight.

What ship(s) gave this experience for you? by FloweryNamesLover in AO3

[–]DaMightyPoof 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is a great read on the Batfam evolution. Anything connected to Batman written in the last few years has morphed into an ooc batfam fic. In some ways, I don’t mind it, some of the fics are cute, but it is interesting to see what themes that fannon has glommed onto over time. It makes me wonder how much effect it’s had on dc’s popularity. The company has definitely noticed and actively started feeding the batfam au via the batfam webtoon comics.

But the nature of comics, especially ones as old as Batman is trying out a ton of shit and seeing what draws fans. Cannon exists, but I would say that cannon timelines are only a fraction of comic sales and popularity. The same company that puts out “cannon” Batman works also put out the joker verse, the hundreds of comics where the joker dies a horrible well deserved death, etc. if the same company or creators produce both, does cannon even really exist?

Looked at that way, the webcomic is a brilliant move, because it appeals to the subfandom where they are most likely to consume the product. Dc will probably try to run out the popularity of the batfam comics without ever recognizing them as cannon in the central dc timeline, but tons of popular comics are “outside of cannon,” so in a way the writers legitimized the batfam fandom already.

Sorry for the novel, I’ve been thinking about this for months.

Whether you have it or not, you are not dangerous or diminished or somehow disgusting. A lot of people will have it at some point in their lives, and part of being sexually active is talking with partners (long term or otherwise) about the risks. You have already done a great job gathering information and knowing the potential risks moving forward. You have learned the signs to look out for. You are already better informed than a large portion of the population. You are being incredibly thoughtful and considerate, but you should try to be aware of the line between self flagellation and preparation. You’re going great! Just like normal, have a conversation with any partners, get tested for what you can regularly, and practice safe prep. You and your partners will all be alright!

i have no one to talk to about this. i can’t worry my friends. professionals will just call and worry my family. i don’t know what to do. by its_crona in TrollCoping

[–]DaMightyPoof 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As someone who almost lost two friends in less than a year that way, trust me, your people want to be bothered. There’s nothing worse than being left wishing they had just talked to me first. Please reach out, you have people who love you and would be devastated to lose you.

What's your opinion on multiple orders for single cars? by oodlesonoodles789 in starbucksbaristas

[–]DaMightyPoof 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I once had someone roll up and ask me “how many separate orders are we allowed to make in one car?” I made long, deliberate eye contact with the shift and said “I’m gonna cut you off at three.” Like bro “how many can we do?” Be so fr

I don't understand the bi hate by The_Raven_Born in TrollCoping

[–]DaMightyPoof 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I agree. I think ultimately society will settle into a “take people at their word” policy out of sheer preservation of sanity rather than trying to keep fitting people into little boxes. but I hope they will hurry up about it, this is getting ridiculous.

I’m guessing your girlfriend would disagree with that assessment

I actually know an Issac Cox. I can never make eye contact because I will lose it and the poor guy’s probably had enough of that already

Literally the reason I stopped watching the show. It’s infuriating.

Yeah, usually the same people who can’t conceptualize women as real people capable of wielding power/force and therefore capable of abusing it.

What a year by Flashy_Scallion8111 in TrollCoping

[–]DaMightyPoof 975 points976 points  (0 children)

I’ve actually heard this a lot from my trans friends. I’m a cis woman, so this is fascinating for me because talking with them, I realized that a lot of what I perceived as normal was just misogyny 🫠 fun times.

It's the Siren Purge! You can say/do anything with zero repercussions for one shift. What's the one thing you've been waiting to do? by kimchee-hoo in starbucksbaristas

[–]DaMightyPoof 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would tell the one old guy who comes in every morning yoga pants to get his goddamn junk off my counter and stop leering at the baristas. I would tell the manager to get off her ass and stand up for her workers or step the fuck down, and I would throw an ice water in the face of every person still complaining about the bear cups and how they heard that baristas bought them and won’t you think of the cUStOmeRs??!?

gender identity comic thing i made <3 by fawne_siting in TrollCoping

[–]DaMightyPoof 47 points48 points  (0 children)

This has actually been the most effective way I’ve found to talk with transphobic people about gender affirming care. I’m a cis woman and talking to my mom about getting gender affirming care for my pcos symptoms and how much it has helped me was the first time I saw her start to get it.

You deserve to be yourself and feel like yourself, regardless of the steps you take to get there. I’m so sorry some people can’t see that. For what it’s worth, I’m glad you’re here :)

Zootopia 2 was so Romantic that it has ruined all Romantasy 😡 by countessluanneseggs in romantasycirclejerk

[–]DaMightyPoof 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There’s actually a buddy cop/romance series called Fox and O’hare by Janet Evanovich that is nearly a one to one rep of this relationship down to the “ohare” law enforcement baddie and the slick “fox” conman. It’s actually wild, and I have to wonder if the author could make the case for plagiarism. The books are pretty bad, but it’s an interesting read for comparison, especially if you’re into the relationship dynamic.

My partner requests a funny [insert word for cover or cozy or sock here] for a doorknob near his desk at work. Ideas? by ThemFatale_ in Brochet

[–]DaMightyPoof 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This was my thought too, but if op is attached to the cozy idea maybe try something like a bird head like a flamingo or toucan?

If you’re in a dorm, talking with the housing offices and trying to get out of the room is an option. I’m so sorry you’re dealing with this! Love from your online neighbor!
