Did you used to make LiveJournal icons? Do you still have some of the ones that you made? I'm looking to include more icons in the second print run of my LiveJournal Iconic zine and would love to see yours!

Tumblr post by user formlessvoidbeast on April 3, 2024: newbie fic authors, shooting themselves in the foot: This fic is bad haha I suck at writing lol I am being mean to myself in the hopes that you will be nice to me but actually am dissuading anyone from even clicking on my fic because all I have done to advertise it is tell you why you shouldn't read it me: I am King Big Dick of Fanfic Mountain and I have arrived in your fandom with the Express Intention of writing my Very Favorite Fics, which I will generously allow you to read. You're welcome.
I think about this Tumblr post a lot. Everyone who posts their writing should try channeling the energy of King Big Dick of Fanfic Mountain

One month ago, CDU/CSU was expected to get more than 30% of votes; AfD went from 10% in the last election to now 20%. It's devastating that they got this many votes.
Good thing is that our democracy is (hopefully) strong enough not to form a coalition with nazis.

The money lenders, the know-nothings, the authoritarians have us all in prison; if we value the freedom of the mind and soul, if we're partisans of liberty, then it's our plain duty to escape, and to take as many people with us as we can."

Itβs probably the best after the horrendous clusterfuck that was No Time To Die. Bond is dead, and so will be the shitty spinoffs Amazon will churn out, five minutes after they go on air.
Itβs probably fanmade.
But as someone who studied ancient Greek for six years, this kind of ignorance hurts my soul.
