Hahahahaha XD I’m glad someone thinks so! A lot of people get quite frosty when I suggest my opinion that JKR’s writing is not as great as the story that she wrote.

starsandstripesforever replied to your post: Do you ever have moments where the effects of your mental illness/disorder/whatever become really clear and sharp?
I read maybe, maybe, six books last year. I just now realized how much my depression have affected the little things in my life.
Yeah, it’s kind of stunning.

Dude. :( We are not-reading buddies. I only read twenty books last year. That’s not even one every other week. /sigh
Arugh! It’s the worst thing :(
On the plus side I’ve started reading 11/22/63 by Stephan King and whilst King is a total mixed bag in terms of me liking his books...

Just how bad my depression is was just thrown into sharp focus when I realised this year I have only read one book.
Bear in mind when I was younger I would devour one or two a week; sometimes I’d get books out from the library only to return them a few hours later.
And now it’s nearly March and I’ve only read one.

No, but that appears to be exactly what some of your followers are doing. Excuse me for being defensive about my life.
I’m not having a go, simply irritated that ire is being directed at me for something I haven’t done

a-game-of-tumblr replied to your post: Hey
That first message you got was definitely a troll making fun of multiplicity. So I guess it worked in getting more people to stop taking us seriously.
Please tell me you aren’t accusing me of not taking multiplicity seriously

billiestrider asked: Hey Charlie- I would venture to say that person isn't trolling, and may have multiplicity, or DID. And, believes that they are fat, but are "stuck" in a body that's thin. From the way it's written, I don't think they're saying that somehow they're transfat or fat-at-heart or something. I hope that helps.

My #1 Gripe With Firefly (as of episode 7)
xtremecaffeine:
None of the actors speak Mandarin that well, and the inclusion of Mandarin alongside current commonly-accepted Chinese indicators - such as the fabrics, cut of clothing, food & use of chopsticks - don’t reflect a great familiarity with the either Chinese or the diaspora cultures. What’s more the inclusion of Mandarian and these signifiers are annoying because Joss Whedon (as...

Stop. It.
If you are a cis person do not compare the experiences of trans people to the experiences of any other group of people.
I don’t give a fuck how logical it seems.
Stop.
If you are a member of those groups then you can compare your experiences of being one to your experiences of being another.
Otherwise just. Fucking. Stop.

Anonymous asked: Acting like a douchebag because he said his "natural attraction" was to the opposite sex doesn't add up I'm afraid. He wasn't saying that it's the natural attraction and being attracted to those of the same gender or no gender at all was unnatural or immoral, just that it's his attraction. I think by attacking him for what he said adds weight to his argument
