I keep seeing a post going around along the lines of “If you have PCOS or your body hair is so long as to be physically uncomfortable, it’s OK to trim it”; and while this is obviously true as far as it goes, I would like to go much, much further? And say actually, you can do whatever the fuck you want to with your body hair?? Because it is YOUR hair, on YOUR body???

I realize that practicalities may interfere with dreams here, but morally speaking: you don’t owe hairlessness to the corporate patriarchy and you don’t owe hairiness to feminism. You don’t owe it to your employer to relax your curls or cover your grays, and you don’t owe it to your conservative auntie to refrain from a neon-green and hot-pink Manic Panic dye job. If you want to spend hours grooming your long luxuriant bottle-blonde mermaid hair, or shave your head or your entire body every morning, or put 112 rainbow ribbons in your full beard, or dye your pits in tiger stripes, or tweeze an anarchy symbol into your arm hair, or get pube extensions so you can wear it in elaborate braids like a dwarf, all that is totally your prerogative and you do not owe an explanation to anyone, actually! You are not required to get a note from your doctor testifying that you have experienced hair-related suffering in order to justify your grooming habits! What the hell! Leave other people alone about their fuckin hair, and expect them to do the same for you!

Hey, you know that one character? The one played by the tall, long-haired actor? The one who was pre-law in 2005, and well on his way to going to law school and getting a degree until an unexpected family issue reared its head, and he dropped out and chose a different career path? Y’know, he’s got that complicated relationship with his father, a parent-child relationship with his only sibling, and has some strange, destructive abilities that tie in with multiple traumatic experiences with fire?

I literally did not speak for a whole minute after that episode

Have a Happy Halloween with NASA

Attention ghouls and goblins of the galaxy! The season for scares and frights is upon us, so we’ve rounded up a few Halloween resources to capture that festive feeling. Read on for craft ideas, free decoration downloads, a creepy soundtrack, and even costume ideas.

Overdid it at the pumpkin patch this year? Get some creative inspiration and some pumpkin-building tips from our Jet Propulsion Laboratory engineers, carve a James Webb Space Pumpkin, or paint a pumpkin with space and weather themed designs. And yes – you can make a NASA pumpkin, too.

Speaking of design, check out our terrifying Galaxy of Horrors posters: decorate your walls with a an illustration of a galactic graveyard or of dark energy prowling through the universe…

If costumes are more your thing, see how the astronauts aboard the International Space Station have dressed up over the years.

Finally, our Sinister Sounds of the Solar System playlist will give you just the right soundtrack for a haunted house or a party – or for scaring yourself all alone.

It was a simple mission; they’d done countless variations of this before. A coven of witches attacking a dragon's hoard and Rory's team was sent to deal with it.

It was supposed to be a simple mission. The witches were supposed to have wands, not swords. They definitely weren’t supposed to be able to disarm Chase, and lunge for a kill strike.

My first ever published work on ao3, if it was going to be any fandom, it was this one.

I LOVE IT

Man, this is something I’ve been wanting to draw for YEARS. Here are the first four pages of Of Giants and Ice, my artistic interpretation of a great work of Shelby Bach’s.

The Seer’s Timeline

Imagine you're opening AO3 and search for a fic. Imagine you're finding one that fits all your criterias. Imagine it has the perfect length. Imagine getting lost in the story and feeling almost high when it's over. Imagine looking up the author and they have written. so. many. more. fics. exactly. like. that. Imagine.

Interspecies lesbianism

The world is not prepared for the person I will become when Agatha and Rio finally kiss.

The world is also not prepared for the person I will become if Agatha and Rio never kiss.

taking a break from watching joe locke and lesbians in heartstopper to go watch joe locke and lesbians in agatha all along

God bless the sickos over at the AO3 for providing the absolute most conceptually bizarre yet extremely compelling fiction for free.

Saw this gifset before watching the movie and this did not prepare me for the actual scene. THE CONCERN I wish I had the capability to write a fic about this

WOLFS 2024, Dir. Jon Watts

Just watched the trailer and my first thought was they are totally enemies to lovers

Pleased to announce these old men stayed silly.

Isaac’s reading Time War! I need to know his opinions

When Agatha goes to roll up her sleeve to show her scar, Rio looks over and IMMEDIATELY knows what it is, before she’s even finished rolling up her sleeve! I love these witches so much

Every time I get up to the fifth chapter of the fic I personally selected last two nights ago, it says error. NO OTHER FIC

A couple of our servers have gotten a bit overwhelmed, so we're taking some down time to give them a chance to catch up. We'll be back as soon as possible!

AO3 Planned Downtime

The Archive of Our Own will be down for about 10 hours of maintenance between 07:00 UTC and 17:00 UTC (check what time that is for you). This downtime will allow our AD&T and Systems teams to prepare our search database for a software update.

Date: 07:00 UTC, June 29, 2024

Initially I had no interest in watching the new Ghostbusters movies (Afterlife and Frozen Empire) as I was wondering how on earth they were going to work this in with kids.

**contains spoilers**

I watched Frozen Empire (FE) the other week and was immediately counting down the days till Afterlife came onto Netflix just so that I could see more of these characters. I’m a sucker for family dynamics and good family relationships and for me FE ticked all my boxes, especially with Gary Grooberson and his interactions with the family.

My main point of this post is Phoebe Spengler. Since the first moment she was on screen I was glued to it. She’s quite androgynous in appearance to me and I’ve been finding myself wanting more of that represented in media these days.

I like all the characters but Phoebe really stuck with me. Just look at her:

(Don’t get me wrong, I love Trevor too, but Phoebe is just 🤌)

These two movies had a good family dynamic with siblings portrayed in a way that didn’t make me cringe, an adult being very mindful of the developing family relationships he’s building AND a neurodivergent young teen who’s androgynous in appearance? That and I’m 90% certain Phoebe had a crush on Melody in FE.

I neeeeeed to devour movie analysis and fanfictions on these films and Phoebe.

8/10

Guilty

I am beginning to feel concerned about how much more attractive I find Steve Harrington while he's distressed or injured. That's not a good sign right?
