it really is next to impossible to write realistic sibling dialogue, I just passed my brother on the stairs and instead of greeting each other like human beings I said ‘born survivor’ and he said ‘youtube rewind. let’s set it to rewind.’ like you ain’t gonna find that shit in a novel
aw man writing siblings is so wild because sometimes you just can’t portray it
me and my little brother don’t even greet each other – if we pass each other on the stairs or in the corridor, we jump into ridiculous fight stances then feign karate chopping and slapping each other (stopping just before we make contact) whilst making “HIIIYA” and “POW” noises for a solid 30 seconds, then silently walk off and continue what we were doing
and then sometimes he’ll either just do the Had To Do It To ‘Em pose when I enter the room or dab as a greeting
exactly! I have three younger brothers and the original post was just about the oldest, the middle one and me usually do some kind of elaborate dab also, and a lot of the time when I see the youngest I just yell his name like a wrestling commentator…siblings have a different language
my twin brother and I just point at each other like that spider-man meme if we see each other at school
1. They have an impossible idealized goal (universal veganism and release of captive animals)
2. Their attempts to reach this goal end up doing the opposite of their intended purpose
3. They hurt animals and people in their “activism”
4. They pat themselves on the back for this and put themselves on a moral pedestal, looking down on and sometimes harassing and/or threatening those not in their group
For me it’s also that they lie a lot and display a lot of hypocrisy, refuse to listen to people in the actual industries (willful ignorance), and especially the emotional manipulation. They seem to be ok with all these behaviors because they believe it’s a “good cause” which also bugs me.
Aimed at people who don’t know where wool comes from, it’s 100% plastic. Yes, plastic.
So any garment you wash will release microfibres into the sea. It’ll never decompose.
You’re supposed to believe that sheep shearing is violent and cruel. There are imbeciles out there that work in an unprofessional manner while shearing, but that’s not the case overall.
Sheep don’t suffer from having their fleece removed.
Left on, the fleece can become a home for fly eggs and the subsequent maggots which can eat the sheep. Chemical treatments are available to prevent that happening. It’s much better for the sheep, the land and the farmer to avoid chemical use.
Don’t be fooled. Wool is a sustainable material, one we should make more and better use of.
“There’s no evidence these characters who display no romantic or sexual preferences in canon are gay/bi/pan/ace!”
Ok, but…there’s no evidence they’re straight either…and why does it matter if people’s fanfiction doesn’t accurately reflect canon anyway…?
Like, I 100% get being a stickler for canon, I’m that way about media I’m passionate about, but fan works aren’t meant to strictly adhere to ANYTHING. They’re creative outlets for lovers of certain media, using that media not as a rigid, pre-made template, but merely as inspiration to draw from.
Make Harry Potter an alien from Mars. Rewrite Tangled as a J-drama. Do The Little Mermaid but gay.
Fan works are about having fun and doing the things that speak to you with the media you love, so whatever wild idea you have in your head right now, GO FOR IT!
