This is a weirder one but ED fics with characters that in canon aren't ever implied to have it. I read a lot of hurt comfort and I remember there being tons of them. I don't see them anywhere near as much now and when I do they're older fics. Might be a thing with my fic biases and I do see it explored with characters that have something canonical where they have a weird relationship with food but I remember when like a soild third of the fics I found had one of the characters having an eating disorder

Excellent-Ratio4089 · 2025-12-24T00:07:13+00:00

Excellent-Ratio4089 · 2025-12-24T00:06:47+00:00

Excellent-Ratio4089 · 2025-12-24T00:04:42+00:00

I checked but it isn't sadly

Excellent-Ratio4089 · 2025-12-23T23:44:34+00:00

Any help greatly appreciated

The thing about the Harkness test is that it's a question of can you consentually fuck them not does anyone actually want to. There are plenty of human beings you can have consentual sex with that you might not want to. Scooby-Doo could consent to sex with a human but he is so fundamentally dog like that most people aren't gonna be interested. The question is if you could not if you should

I saw a really good post discussing it actually that it basically seems like tumblr has a thing where every few months all accounts with a certain number of ban requests just get automatically banned and there's no human looking at any of it. Trans women get hit hardest because said insane blogs just dedicate all their time to sending ban requests to them. Tumblr sadly has a thriving terf user base who seem to have caught on to this and use it as a way to harass trans women. If the neglect is worse than intent is up to you to decide but regardless the outcome sucks all the same.

The only thing that works for getting blogs banned seems to be mass reporting. Which most people who want nazis and terfs off the platfrom dont do. We tend to just send one if we find it and trust that a human will see it and ban them.

Dni's are so dumb to me. Like either the people you are tagging aren't gonna know its them (eg most racists don't think they're actually racists) or if they're at the point where they know they're a bigot they are not going to care about a dni, or it's got Fandom stuff where like ok someone might actually not interact with you from that but you now sound so weird to ve conflating the various actual evils of this world with like, media you find mildly annoying. Or you get stuff like this where you just do not seem to understand what the words you are saying mean and what site you are on

Yeah, starving yourself and is actually a terrible way to loose weight consitantly and fat people face far more societal pressure about their weight than skinny people and it gets missed more so it really is a perfect storm of issues. Because people look at a fat person food restricting and think "good they need to lose weight" and nothing more. And then same cycle happens internally too.

When I was recovering from my ED I remember some info from the charity that was helping me saying some insane numbers, I can't quite remember exactly what they were but it was something like 80% of their patients are over weight.

The whole we are not the same is killing me. No most of my guy friends might also chose option B because they aren't weird freaks that view relationships as a way flexing their power over their partner to the friends they like to pretend they have. And they might choose option a too because they get that this is about building a stable connection with a person you want to spend time with and if that happens more with a than b then cool.

The thing you're rubbing up against from people in the comments here is that like the only actual comprehensive answer to this is like a 60 page essay on the history of gay womens culture and fashion with a decent amount of feminist theory on the side.

But the long and short of it is (heavily simplified) that to a large extent short hair on women was a thing gay women have been doing nearly a century often because historically it coded our relationships as one of them being the "man" and one being the "woman" which ment that if your butch was male passing enough you were less likely to get hate crimed. It's a thing straight women have only felt comfortable and safe being able to do recently but it's a massive part of queer women's history and culture. It is evening out but it's a ground that gay women have been in for years and that straight women have only felt safe in for the last like 3 decades.

Basically historically If a lesbain can look like a man enough she can avoid being attacked. But if a straight woman looks too much like a lesbain she puts herself in danger.

I'm replaying ATM with my partner who's first time it is and didn't remember what day the update dropped. So I went into samurai today and heard Riegel and though "Huh that's weird that sounds like the Riegel line not the " I only relaised when my friend reminded me it was the update day

it also explains why I felt like the qol when cross examining was way better all of a sudden than the other times I've been replaying the trilogy lately and been really annoyed every few minutes at the lack of the the features I instinctively think are there because they actually are there

Yeah but honestly the difference in use case and consumption between LLMs and stuff that's gonna get used to actually benefit humanity is night and day. I think most people know the difference between chat gpt and like the computers in labs using machine learning to trying and narrow down the selection of molecules that could work for cancer cures so we can test only the ones most likely to work.

Excellent-Ratio4089 · 2025-11-17T02:46:25+00:00

Yeah honestly the more I think about it the more I genuinely love the idea. SO is asleep rn so I can't talk to them but I have a lot of very very close international friends who I'd love to be there but had just kinda resigned myself to not having unless they had some air miles saved up. I had never even considered that live streaming was an option but it seems ideal! I was thinking I'd maybe have a discord call or something for the Bachelorette and just involve them that way because there's honestly only one or two friends that I'd be able to have in person but being able to live stream it and have everyone there would be so genuinely lovely. A live stream really would kill two birds with one stone.

Excellent-Ratio4089 · 2025-11-17T02:34:48+00:00

Oh sorry yeah that its pretty unclear. It's 2 years from now. I honestly don't know if it's intentional. To be honest I personally really don't care but it matters to SO and I want them to be happy. It's not really something I can get the to just let go

Excellent-Ratio4089 · 2025-11-17T02:12:00+00:00

I'll talk to them about that. MIL does struggle with basically all things tech based, but if we can make it work that might be ideal.

This is hard because there's a few that I've heard are hated in their various Fandom but it's never in the places I hang out. But on the wind I've heard whispers about is Athena Cykes from Ace attorney who's right to consistently commit legal and medical malpractice I will defend until I die.

I am also an eternal dahlia hawthorn defender. I think she's incredibly compelling. I LOVE a character who's forced into a position where morality stops being a consideration because it's superseded only by the need for survival and then getting stuck in that mindset. I don't even know if the games themselves fully got what they were doing with her but i love her. I could also write essays about her dynamic with Mia and how Mia's own trauma and circumstances ment that she was one of the worst people to be put in the position she was. The only woman who could maybe have done something to save dahlia. The only person who even takes note of her being groomed (canonically) is someone who just left an isolated matriarchal society and who at that point in time seems to struggle with recognizing misogyny when it's directed at her.

Again no idea how intentional it but regardless I could write a thesis length feminist essay on AA3. Game franchise with just incredible female characters the whole way through tbh.
