Chuck Tingle is out here being an ace ally.
Chuck Tingle said all our rights.
…omg.
I think it’s important we all remember this author became famous for writing gay “Dino-porn” erotica, and then proceeded to branch ever outward from that niche into political satire & social commentary erotica
Me: One of the few people I follow on twitter is Chuck Tingle, I wonder what he has to say about everything?
Chuck Tingle:

Tingle just cranked out 50k words for a spite story for JKR and I am LIVING for it!

Chuck Tingle is a gift.
OMG the summary:
Trans wizard Harriet Porber is a master spellsmith who’s found herself in a bit of a pickle. After finishing wizard college, Harriet made a name for herself by creating a hit viral spell, but has since failed to craft a follow up. Now Harriet’s agent, Minerma, is breathing down her neck, suggesting that Harriet take a trip to an island off the coast of England for inspiration.
Hoping for some peace and quiet to clear her head, Harriet Porber arrives to find that her new neighbor, an angsty bard named Snabe from the band Seven Inch Nails, is already there making a racket. This parasaurolophus spellcaster is a bad boy through and through, and with his incredible powers of metamagic, Snabe reveals that this layer of reality is much more than it seems. Could Harriet and Snabe really be characters in a parody romance novel?
Soon enough, these two are discovering they have more similarities than differences: both trans, both strong, and both hoping to create a new spell that will change the world. But with the addition of two devious sentient motorcycles to the mix, Dellatrix and Braco, things start to get complicated.
Now trans wizard Harriet Porber is caught up in a tale of magic and mystery where nothing is as it seems, except for one universal truth: love is real.
This is a 52,000 word bad boy romance novel for adults. It contains some explicit scenes.
what in the fuck is this
looked this up on goodreads and if i had to read these quotes from the book then so do yall
So this is kind of a rip off of the style of novel that Chuck Tingle writes, and he wasn’t super happy about it:
Can I just say I really love how colorful the Star Trek Beyond posters are? And I love that they pay homage to the original movie posters? I feel like it was a visual cue that they were trying to return to the movies’ original campy feel and I think this movie was a lot closer to it’s roots than the other two by far, and this movie just completely felt different than the first two. It triggered a much larger nostalgia reaction this time around and while it was still action packed, it just felt like one of the original movies and aaah I just loved this one so much. It’s easily my favorite of the reboots.
Fuck now I almost don’t want to see the next Star Trek movie that comes out because it’s back to JJ Abrams writing and god fucking dammit. God dammit he’s going to ruin everything. Beyond was so nice and generous it gave us a bad ass NON SEXUALIZED female main character. It gave us a gay poc family where NO ONE WAS DEAD. It gave adequate screen time for all of the characters where they had their own side stories that tied together (Karl Urban almost didn’t come back for this movie because he was tired of it just being about Kirk and Spock!) It gave us a MUCH more in character Kirk where he cares about and loves his crew and treats them like family - unlike Abrams’ Kirk in the first two movies. It gave us colorful hopefulness and a sense of family and I’m fucking. JJ is going to ruin it. He’s going to kill someone off or reduce Jaylah to someone’s feeble girlfriend or give her completely unnecessary nude scenes and. Fuck. Simon please don’t let him ruin everything that Beyond created. I’m so tired of him. I’m so fucking tired of JJ Abrams. I’m so fucking tired of lens flares.
“where did this weird trope even come from?”
well, statistically speaking, probably star trek
Star Trek was the first kind of “fandom” I was ever in. My dad was a huge star trek fan, and I remember the show being on in the background throughout my early childhood. When the Star Trek reboot came out in 2009, my father and I were first in line. I think that’s what did it. Throughout that summer and into my 7th grade year, I was obsessed with Star Trek. Not just the reboot, but TOS as well. Even though, through the years I’d moved on to other things, Star Trek was always the first thing. It was the first fanfic I read, the first fan art I made, the whole 9. I think that’s probably why hearing about Leonard Nimoy hit so hard. It was the first thing I truly threw myself into, and started me down the “nerd path” that I’ve been on ever since.
