it's a small win for trans rights. kind of. but in reality, i'm sure they just want to make it so they can recruit as many people as possible and don't really give a shit whether it's a hetero-cis person or lgbtq person who dies for the imperialist death machine. they just need healthy bodies.
Because at some point it got folded in under “problematic,” and now every damn thing that has Unfortunate Implications or deals with sensitive topics indelicately enough to raise hackles or gores somebody’s sacred cow is treated as a grave injustice or a threat to society. Online activism culture has lost the vocabulary to express “this deals with touchy stuff in a way many people might find inappropriate, and you should probably avoid it if insensitivity on this subject gets you angry/upset, but it’s not promoting hateful ideas or demeaning people or affecting anything but my opinion of the creator’s sense of tact.”
AI won’t replace people because i just found out someone wrote a fic in which hobbits hibernate and bilbo forgot to tell this to the dwarves AND THEY BURIED HIM ALIVE AND HE HAS TO CRAWL OUT OF HIS GRAVE

I adore the "Merlin doesn't realize Arthur's counting him because he doesn't understand nobles" fics however I would love to see a reverse on this.
Arthur is so used to courtship being about expensive gifts and grand gestures amongst the nobles that he has no idea Merlin's been courting him in the more simple way people do in Ealdor. Things like cooking for your intended, handmade gifts, helping them with tasks around the village, and using a split coin as a proposal instead of a ring. By the time Arthur realises anything Merlin already considers them married
A gift for my amazing discord moderator Sabina, who has been helping me moderate my online communities for almost 7 years now and has a soft spot for magpies. I do too 🖤
Boromir “They took the little ones” really doesn’t get enough credit for how sweet he is to Merry and Pippin. Sword fighting and training with them, protecting them from orcs - despite his flaws he was kind at heart.
thorin but make him a polish nobleman

GOOD OMENS SU AU BECAUSE I CAN
gem!Aziraphale is Moonstone and gem!Crowley is Red Beryl Both gems are associated with love, moonstone being comforting if love must be hidden, while red beryl associated with lasting love and commitment. It surprisingly fits them even tho i picked up stones based more on the color.
