watching old younows are so funny like

yeah totally dan i believe that

[dan: cos people keep asking me, ‘do you miss phil?’ and its like, i don’t- i don’t know how much i miss Amazingphil particularly as opposed to how much i really do prefer having two people in the house, in case i get attacked by a poltergeist or an axe murderer breaks in, cos at least then there’s a 50/50 chance that Phil might get murdered if he’s in the house, so it’s mainly the not wanting to turn off any of the lights at night…]

in general i would say that “it’s not fun if they’re totally unrecognisable” is my fandom thesis. like the point of fanfic etc is putting your favourite little guys in situations. where’s the appeal if they’ve been through so many fanon spin cycles that they’re barely even your guys anymore

loads of people are reblogging this like “this is why i don’t like AUs” and honestly this is not an anti AU post by any stretch of the imagination. if you think “alternate universe fic” = “completely unrecognisable characters” then love and light but you need to read some better AUs!! putting your little guys in a completely different setting or time period or making them baristas or racing drivers or pop stars or whatever doesn’t inherently render them unrecognisable and in fact the APPEAL of a well done AU fic is seeing how your favourite guys deal with a completely different set of circumstances. support your local wacky AU today x

i hate the “on average a user only sees 25 posts per session so they have to be good and varied” bullshit on that staff post. if i open tumblr and the 25 posts i see are nothing but a single mutual mass reblogging their favourite thing that i couldn’t care less about. well. that’s what i enjoy

If my beloved mutual needed to reblog a thing 25 times then by all things sacred I am going to read it once and then scroll past it 24 times as they intended me to!

Once again saying that I think chosen one narratives are common in YA because its common for teens to feel A. Suddenly burdened by a drastic increase in responsibilities while simultaneously being looked down on and treated as children by the people asking them to take on those responsibilities; and B. Like they don’t belong and everyone else has a place where they fit.

So chosen one stories take those feelings and legitimize them (the hero IS suddenly given a huge responsibility, and it IS overwhelming, and they DO have people telling them they can’t do it, and they ARE different) but also pairs them with the idea that they are capable of handling it and living up to the expectations, and that their differences make them special and help them to their goal and bring people alongside them to help.

And if chosen one stories no longer resonate with you it doesn’t inherently make the trope bad it just might mean it isn’t for you.

Which is not to say it can’t be done badly, only that it is not a bad thing for a book yo have a chosen one.

In particular the “specialness” aspect done poorly can reify an unhelpful “no one understands me, I’m the most unique person to ever live” mentality

ARE CHOCOLATE MILK AND HOT CHOCOLATE THE SAME THING BUT DIFFERENT TEMPERATURES

YES (the correct answer)

No (the wrong answer)

There are multiple drinks called “hot chocolate” and that has to be sorted out before answering.

US version of “hot chocolate” in packets: “powdered milk + chocolate powder + whothefuckknows sugars and preservatives and anti-caking elements etc” that you add to hot water. (Or hot milk, if you can heat up milk without scalding it or turning it boiling. If you wanted to to the hassle of heating up milk, get some damn cocoa powder and make the good kind; the packets are for people (like me) who are too lazy to go to the effort of dealing with hot milk.)

European “drinking chocolate” which is basically liquid chocolate, generally served in cups slightly larger than a thimble, and is basically melted chocolate, thinned a little with milk or cream.

Neither of those is anything like “chocolate milk.” But there’s a third kind.

“Proper” hot hot cocoa, sometimes also called hot chocolate - made with cocoa powder, sugar, and milk (and possibly a touch of vanilla, and other spices to taste - cinnamon is a common addition) - is arguably similar to “milk chocolate” but if you heat up milk chocolate you won’t get something that tastes like the recipe on the Hershey’s Cocoa Powder box.

Chocolate milk is “Milk with chocolate syrup added.” It rarely has extra sugar. It generally has some additives to prevent the chocolate from solidifying when it gets cold. (I have no idea what happens to hot cocoa when it gets cold; we never let it sit that long.)

It has (1) less chocolate than hot cocoa; (2) different nutritional benefits (hot cocoa generally has more B12 and Magnesium), and
(3) a very different mouthfeel.

Heating up chocolate milk will not get you the drink commonly known as “hot cocoa.” Chilling hot cocoa will not get you “chocolate milk.”

me: “yeah I dated a guy in high school who came out as gay. it was before i knew i was a boy so needless to say it didn’t work out”

coworker: “damn dude was preordering”

other things this coworker (who is a cis guy) has done/said:

—got confused about why I’d never been a boy scout because he forgot i was trans

—told me he was gonna get top surgery scar tattoos to match me after i get mine

—laughs at all my trans jokes, even if they’re supremely unfunny

—calls me big dog (and him little dog) even though he is about as tall as two of me

— “I can’t believe she would say that transphobic thing to you. In June? Pride month?”

Once I said “My gender is whatever’s funniest at the time” and my coworker stops dead in his tracks, turns slowly and says “So are your pronouns honk/honk?” killing me instantly
