"Can you swim?"
"Just about."
"Define 'just about'?"
"I can float well enough, if I don't panic."
"Don't panic?"
"If my head goes under water I panic, even in a bathtub."
"Well, shit."
when no one has written the exact fic to scratch a very specific emotional itch and you absolutely do not have time to write it yourself but you still want to read it dammit
My mom didn't like that they represented men as fools in Barbie but then I told her, "Barbieland is a representation of the real world but in reverse, where the Barbies are men and the Kens are women. And if you think about it, Barbieland is made from the 'female gaze' (Barbies/men), and just like in many situations in real life the products made from the male gaze -like movies- represent women as fools and nothing more than an object, an accessory of man."

need more parents as caretakers. thats the best thing ever
Yes 👏👏👏 Parental caretakers for the win!
Hot take: the Spiderverse movies are quite possibly the most relatable superhero movies I’ve ever experienced because I’ve never seen a superhero movie nail the ‘being queer and closeted’ experience down to a T
Like the AMOUNT of experiences they get down so well is just
- not feeling accepted anywhere, even within your own community sometimes, feeling like a mistake no matter where you go
- hiding half your identity from your parents (I swear to god that scene where Miles is about to tell Rio he’s Spiderman in ATSV is literally me trying to come out to my parents and chickening out, it hurt to watch)
- fearing rejection from your parents (“Dad, do you really hate Spiderman?”)
- finding out the people you look up to and trust wouldn’t accept you and would actually try to harm you and the sheer terror that comes from it (god the Prowler reveal in the first movie still hurts me)
- gravitating more and more towards friends who are also queer because they get you (aka the spideys from different dimension just gravitating together)
- just. having a secret identity, in general
- the underlying theme of the movies that despite anything, despite the world rejecting you, despite your own community rejecting you, you are valid and you are loved and you should never forget that (which is not an inherently queer experience but g o d)
I could go on, but. Just. Dammit, these movies mean so much to me.
It is really a great tip, the only thing I change is that I put the words that I use to filter in 'has the words' rather than 'subject', bc in any other way it doesn't register.
(Although for kudos and comment it does work bc those words are in the subject area)
I've seen people say that their ao3 notification emails get quite cluttered, so I just wanted to share what I use! :))
I have Gmail auto-tag emails so my inbox looks like:
Here's step-by-step instructions on how have that done automatically
1. First of all, make some Labels - You can do this with whatever, I use fandoms
2. I like to change the color & hide from the list so it doesn't get too messy
For the filter:
3. You need a quote for Gmail to search for, you can just copy and paste from an existing email
4. Go to See-All-Settings
5. Select Filters & Blocked Addresses
6. Click on Create a New Filter
7. Paste the information and click on Create Filter
8. Make the filter add the label (tag) to emails, and Create Filter
9. Gmail will now automatically add labels to tag your emails :))
