And what will this rant be about? Well, nothing particularly timely or relevant, so if you were hoping for that, I am sorry to disappoint. But I've been telling mildmay that I'd rant about this for a while now, and it really is pretty annoying, so timely or not, why not go with it?

So there's something that's been on my mind for a while now--or, really, two things that have been on my mind that combine fairly nicely to make this post. That's probably because both of them have to do with vampires, sex and depictions of women in literature of questionable quality (read: trashy), all things which are often on my mind ( Read more... )

Actually, I admit, we could have a metric fuckton of words about a right shitload of things. But I had something in particular in mind today.

I wanted to get one more before I posted, but I'm lazy and I have a whole bunch of these done, and I think the next one will be pretty long. So, here we are. Another drabble post!

Okay, so as a result of this post here, I'm back to thinking of this idea, even though there wasn't a whole lot of interest expressed in the post at the time ( Read more... )

I RP a bit. I'm not in a ton of games, and I don't do it with a ton of people, but I do it, and I think it has a certain place. I can enjoy it.
