she-ra is still so so funny to me like. as a concept
dreamworks/netflix/mattel: ok mr. stevenson, we’d like this reboot to be a fun kids show with a good story for the whole family and lots of nostalgia to bring in revenue for the franchise etc. sound good?
nate stevenson, planning a story in his head where pop culture icon & beloved 80s childrens hero She-Ra is a brainwashed christian imperialist soldier who has a sexuality crisis over her gay arch enemy for 5 seasons then kills god by kissing her: mhm yes absolutely
Muppet fact of the day: One of the Muppet show’s pilot episodes was called “The Muppet Show: Sex and Violence”, but the Muppets are owned by Disney now and Disney really doesn’t like the word “sex” so they insist on just calling it “the Muppet Show Pilot”
anyway reblog this forbidden image of Jim Henson in front of the Sex and Violence title card to make Disney mad
unfriendly reminder: this is a sex worker positive space. I will not tolerate the disrespect of sex workers here, and if you cant agree with that without a doubt then you’re not welcome here.
sure would be nice if people other than porn blogs and sex workers reblogged this
People hating on Dynamite by Taio Cruz are lame nerds and I mean that genuinely. “It’s a bad song” We get it, you didn’t have friends in school. Now shut up and throw your hands up in the air sometime.
It does… one at a time. It’d be useful to be able to select more than one. G&T but not higher, M&E only, everything but E for those who just don’t like smut. (btw I just checked and there is none of the exclusion filters showing on the search page at least in my computer)
AO3 does ‘and’ filters.
You don’t filter for M&E. You filter for not the other stuff.
I have never seen so many users clearly baffled by and too skittish to push buttons/toggles that are very clearly meant to be used.
If a trusted website has a button and you don’t immediately know or understand what it does, push it. Check out every drop down, every link, every configuration imaginable. Be adventurous. Fuck around and find out. If it breaks the website, they shouldn’t have had that button in the first place. Not on you. Indulge your curiosity instead of complaining it doesn’t do something it absolutely does if you poke around a little.
You’re not going to get a bad grade in filtering by using interface features from AO3, I promise.
Look, there are library systems that don’t have filters as good as AO3. You have to learn how to use Boolean operators (AND OR NOT) and construct a proper query to exclude in several academic databases, and AO3 just performs “NOT” for you by clicking a button.
Do you know how many grad students would love to have the kind of power you have with AO3 in filters?
Ao3 filters are amazing. You can filter out ratings, you can filter out characters or pairings, you can filter out specific tags (as long as it’s an official tag)! (Type it in under “other tags to exclude”)
This is why the antis complaining about seeing content they don’t like on Ao3 is so frustrating. If something squicks you out, filter it, and you never have to see it again! Voila! Or even if it is just something you don’t like. I have High School AUs filtered out because I just don’t like them! It’s an amazing system and makes it so easy to curate your experience.
the glorification of your 20s and fear of anything else has got to stop. mainly bc your 20s is quite literally the worst decade of your life the idea that ppl think you peak at 25 has me so sad for them
