my series Biscuit Town is finally live on AO3! if you've ever seen a prestige TV drama and asked yourself "why can't this be about a bunch of hot furry girls," as i'm sure we all have at some point, then you might wanna sit down and give this one a read!

A Smiling Friends character who wears the hood because he’s self-conscious and doesn’t understand why it upsets people but Charlie and Pim convince him to accept himself so he removes it and it turns out he’s wearing blackface.
god i love ai so much its unreal. what do you mean i can tell my computer to do things in natural language and they just happen. do you realize how sci-fi that was 5 years ago
this is probably the worst era to have ocd in because your peers do in fact think thoughts = morality and that one mistake on the internet means you’re evil
Not going to drag it out any more but I will say if you play or watch Pokémon and come out not sexualising the underage characters, you have fundamentally misunderstood the core message of the entire series
Play is solemnity, not silliness. Adults who try to “recapture their childhood” often do so by trying to capture the whimsy of childhood. But play is serious for children, not whimsical. It’s whimsical for adults to watch, so the wires get crossed. They are “recapturing” the feeling of watching themselves watch children, watching their own memories, not of being a child. To recapture your childhood energy, take something incredibly seriously.
Hotter take: just so y’all know, there’s people online trying to convince you to destroy your reputation and career by acting like perpetually rebellious teenagers, it makes them look better. There’s a reason why they aren’t on LinkedIn with their name saying this stuff.
