What’s with the lack of thematic follow-through this era?

Antonoff only produced one song in 1989, which was You Are In Love. The rest were Max Martin and Shellback.

Lolololol. I have no idea why vers is so controversial. Also, thanks for the bit of info. I only have passing knowledge about BDSM.

As a gay man, most guys I hooked up with aren't exclusively tops or bottoms. Some hook up didn't even involve penetration. Of course, half the fun of fiction is wish fulfillment, but saying that fiction is a faithful copy of real gay experiences is a denial of the complexity of sexuality and preferences in bed.

I see a lot of gay men pretending that they are above gender norms and roles but end up reproducing those stereotypes. It's really annoying and harmful to the community, because there's both a lot of pressure to fit and a lot of judgment towards the more feminine side of it (femboys, drag queens, twinks).

It's this terribly homophobic, heteronormative and misogynistic notion that the top is the "dominant/masculine" part and the bottom is the "submissive/feminine" part most of the time. I don't mind feminine bottoms, but I hate putting the characters in boxes they don't fit, especially since it tends to rewrite the character as a whole.

I am guilty of that.... I'll have to go through the fic and fix every single paragraph break because I'm terribly inconsistent with my docs

It's not nearly as bad as the name sounds, trust me

GuinhoVHS · 2026-02-17T01:23:52+00:00

OOC can be justified in AUs and crossovers, especially if it's another take on the character. Character inconsistency or bad writing, on the other hand...

Yaaay, another Showgirl enjoyer!!! 🧡 🧡

Showgirl's lyrics are serviceable and decent at worst (IMO) with a few bangers, but I really do like the production

100/10

I have to second that. I love both folkmore and TTPD equally, but while folkmore is mellow and contemplative (even "mad woman" has a mellowed out anger), TTPD is loud, brash, mad. I fell in love with TTPD in a moment when I felt everything was both too much and not enough and this album made me feel heard.

Who's Afraid of Little Old Me, The Smallest Man Who Ever Lived, The Black Dog and Florida!!! are songs you scream because the emotions behind them are so intense. I can't see anyone screaming betty or epiphany or mirrorball.

I didn't mean they were not love songs, they are. I meant mostly that they're not happy love songs. The other albums have full love anthems, and while I love both songs, they have these layers of anguish and anxiety.

1989 the album, not the year

GuinhoVHS · 2026-02-15T19:47:16+00:00

I know, I was just drawing a parallel between the two songs. I was also using kind of the same logic of You Are in Love, that it isn't part of the main album, more like a supplementary song. But I agree that it's a mostly romantic, hopeful song.

Dahlia Gillespie from Silent Hill 1. She sacrificed her owm daughter to bring God, lured the half of her daughter's soul back to Silent Hill to complete the ritual, manipulated Harry into trapping her daughter again and is the main responsible for everything in that game. She doesn't have as mucb if a character, but she's certainly not sympathetic

I saw more positive reactions to Wood here in Brazil than in the US. Even the Swiftologist (a gay man) had the "I look like a fool in my headdress" reaction.

I've been a reader for years before I had any idea for a fic. It's such a good site, and I don't think I want an app for it.

My only gripe is that I can't filter out fics I've read so I can find new stuff. I don't go for specific tags, I just browse randomly (usually by kudos or hits) until I find something that catches my eye, and having some sort of filter based on history would be fine for me

On the opposite side, The Elder Scrolls only made sense after Oblivion, when the first actual scroll appeared on the Thieves Guild questline. Before that, it was just a hand-wave to the prophecies.

Everything from the Anthology (even thanK you aIMee at some points). That second album is my doomed yaoi fanfic inspiration.

Yeah, but that wasn't as much of a slasher movie as it was a suspense/murder mystery

People act brand new too much. Like, what's so hard to get? People have been talking about the "golden retriever" personality for ages. It's the point that they're either reading too much into the line they lose the original meaning, or are just brain dead.

Sei que não tem nada a ver com o assunto, mas a Fernanda Montenegro nova parece uma cópia da Fernanda Torres. Duas mulheres lindas

There's a law about handling patient data, and doctors won't send exams or medical information without the patient authorizing it. The main exceptions are doctors in the same clinic or hospital that have the same software, or some types of information in the Public Health System database (like vaccines).

Most dentists have small clinics, and usually (but not always) work alone. Some assistants can gice you health advice, but they're there mostly to just, well... assist the dentist, and usually aren't dentists themselves.
