Apparently intro posts are all the rage so:

I'm Crou! I've been in various online fandoms since the 90s, through forums and IRC to LJ and Tumblr and Discord.

I like dark stuff. I like taboo stuff. I write sporadically when I have an Idea That Must Come Out, so usually short sharp oneshots.
The only survivor of the infection that claimed all of her sisters... we tried four different antibiotics and nothing worked. Even this little one almost lost her eye, but after two months we think it should be safe to rehome her. I'll be devastated to lose her but she needs ratty company.

I got "multiple results" so the site didn't give me a description of any of them, boo.

But apparently I'm equally Bard and Fighter ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I’ve been watching loads of Pokémon speedruns and challenge runs lately, and I chuckle every time I hear a grown man say “PP Up”

TikTok has been doing this since the very beginning, the new ownership just involves a change of venue that means they have to put it in the privacy policy now. The app has always been spyware with some short videos on top; it's why all their IPs are blocked at the DNS level on all my devices.

Pick up the nearest book. Turn to page 42, post the second sentence.

> In some versions of the Agamemnon story, Clytemnestra actually kills her husband, with Aegisthus merely the accessory to the crime.

From the introduction to Emily Wilson's translation of The Odyssey.
Pick up the nearest book. Turn to page 42, post the second sentence.

We are either off or on.

From Katherine May's Wintering.

I wish Netflix had something like Amazon's pop-up that gives you info about all the actors in a scene whenever you pause

Without it I am totally lost trying to figure out who is who among the various blonde women and brunet men in US media, I swear they all have the same "USAmerican actor" features

This is true and I was the only one on set excited about it (and playing the song on my phone to blank stares)
Just watched the new Knives Out and I think it's really important you know that the scene in the Seminary's Gym is filmed in the same place Rick Astley filmed the music video for Never Gonna Give You Up.

I saw the window tracery and immediately made my friends pause the film so I could tell them.

Back in the 90s, the Free Speech Coalition used to place this PSA before porn movies to raise awareness.

That has been stuck in my head since I was before I was a teenager.

Porn and erotica are important and societally valuable forms of speech, and the defense of them, in the face of state and church attempts at repression, is a necessary political act.
