stardust_rifleI know that a lot of my fellow genderweird bis who are into shipping go like “Oh, I can’t stand any whiff of Het Gender Stuff, I can only ship a m/f ship if it doesn’t even have a whiff of Het Gender Stuff” and I just can’t relate, because, for me, the main thing compelling me to ship an m/f thing over a same-gender thing is if there’s some element of Gender Role Engagement (coughcough kirashino), but again I’m allergic to All Gender Role Engagement. So it’s a hard balance!

Dec. 2nd, 2025 11:38 pmstardust_rifleWas gonna make a post about how me falling in love with Reze Chainsawman is yet another example of my previously-described type in female characters ("would be fandom's #1 woobie but everyone has decided she's a Girlboss (tm)") but happily correctly Chainsaw Man fandom has correctly identified that Reze is the number one Wettest Saddest Princessiest Woobiest Babygirlest Characterest Everest, as is so supremely right and correct.
Look! I remembered to post before December started this year!

dw_newsHello, friends! It's about to be December again, and you know what that means: the fact I am posting this actually before December 1 means karzilla reminded me about the existence of linear time again. Wait, no -- well, yes, but also -- okay, look, let me back up and start again: it's almost December, and that means it's time for our annual December holiday points bonus.
The standard explanation: For the entire month of December, all orders made in the Shop of points and paid time, either for you or as a gift for a friend, will have 10% of your completed cart total sent to you in points when you finish the transaction. For instance, if you buy an order of 12 months of paid time for $35 (350 points), you'll get 35 points when the order is complete, to use on a future purchase.
( The fine print and much more behind this cut! )
Thank you, in short, for being the best possible users any social media site could possibly ever hope for. I'm probably in danger of crossing the Sappiness Line if I haven't already, but you all make everything worth it.
On behalf of Mark, Jen, Robby, and our team of awesome volunteers, and to each and every one of you, whether you've been with us on this wild ride since the beginning or just signed up last week, I'm wishing you all a very happy set of end-of-year holidays, whichever ones you celebrate, and hoping for all of you that your 2026 is full of kindness, determination, empathy, and a hell of a lot more luck than we've all had lately. Let's go.
