one of the coworkers I assumed didn’t like me – which made all those outings a bit uncomfortable – took me aside last night, put her hand sort of on my shoulder, looked me intensely in the eyes and said:
“just so you know, I do like you. I just have autism.”
also, one of the guys was getting very comfortable – too comfortable for most people – and he kept resting his arm over the back of my chair, and so at some point when I turned to her to ask about something mundane she interrupted me:
“I see his arm on your chair,” very intense eye contact, which I understand was specifically for my benefit “if it makes you uncomfortable let me know and I will tell him off. I literally don’t care what he thinks and it will be easier for me than you because I’m incapable of feeling awkward.”
I would climb down there like a lizard and the magma wouldn’t hurt me
That’s not lava, sorry. This isn’t in Þingvellir, this is a display at the earthquake exhibition in Hveragerði. That’s a line of plastic lights in a crack that opened up during the 2008 earthquake. It’s in a shopping center. This is what it looks like from another angle
The fault in Þingvellir looks like this
The fault at Sandvík is closer together and looks like this
There isn’t any lava visible from the surface continental divides currently but when there was a fissure eruption nearby Sandvík a few years ago at Fagradalsfjall, it looked like this
He said he burned his ass and got frostbite everywhere else taking this picture
It’s a difficult choice, but I think this might be my favourite Tumblr thread of all time 🙂
Our fandom forbearers did NOT suffer through Anne Rice, strikethrough, and other bullshit for fucking ACOTAR and Harry Potter fans to fucking ruin it for all of us by selling fanfiction. I am not losing novel length yaoi epics because some of you don’t know how to act in fannish spaces and yes I do blame the booktokification of fanfic but I also blame those of you that treat fandom like content to consume and not a community to engage with.
Seriously people, learn fandom etiquette. It exists, it exists for extremely good reasons, and it’s been decades in the making.
You know the saying, ‘OSHA regulations are written in blood’? Yeah, that applies to fandom etiquette. We didn’t make this shit up to lord it over newcomers, these rules evolved as a form of fucking self-defense and by god we’ll die on this hill.
So stop putting other people’s fanfictions on KINDLE UNLIMITED!!!
In case you’re unaware: that can (and will) get the writer and publisher a Cease & Desist and very possibly a lawsuit. Which they will lose.
Fanfic must be free or else it is breaking copyright — even advertising on a fanfic website is risky.
You do not own the copyright. You do not own the characters. You do not make money off copyrights that are not your own.
