"GIANT DORKS THAT SAVE THE WORLD"
The problem with looking at the signups summary AND the letters post is seeing people who’ve signed up for fandoms you really want to write for and knowing their letters aren’t there yet. :( I know they likely haven’t written one yet and I’m being stupid! I haven’t even signed up yet because I don’t know what I’m offering! It’s good I only get about an hour a day to obsess over this! But I want to write people treats.
I wrote my Yuletide letter! Fandoms: The Raven Cycle (Adam, Ronan); Brooklyn Nine-Nine (Amy, Jake); Friday Night Lights (Tim, Julie); and It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia (Dennis, Sweet Dee).
You can link your own letter here. I think sign-ups open Sunday. Or maybe Monday?

Anon from before, the word involve is very different from coddling. How are men going to learn to stop sexually abusing women if all we are doing is yelling at them? People don't learn from negativity, hating them is only hurting yourself, because you are not seeing the full potential of others, and situations. Men will only become more defensive if keep attacking them (as proven by some questions you've been asked, etc).

Dude, MEN STARTED ALL THIS SHIT.
This is NOT an accident.
They don’t oppress us because they’re ignorant and don’t know better. They do it because they benefit from it. They feign ignorance and promise they’ll change to waste your time, and then they keep doing what they always do.
Never once in history an oppressed class achieved anything by being nice and understanding to their oppressor. And women in general lack class conscience. Men are NOT on your side. They mostly want you to stop talking about your experience because it makes them uncomfortable.
Stop being nice to people who don’t even see you as fully human. Stop being a doormat. Stop codding your oppressor.
If appealing to men’s sympathies were effective, most of our problems would have been solved a long time ago.
"Power is not a mistake in which the powerful can be educated, it’s not a misunderstanding, and it’s not a disagreement. Justice is not won by moral argument, or exertion, or individual transformation, and it’s not won by spiritual epiphany - It’s won by taking power away from the powerful and dismantling the institutions." - Lierre Keith
i want to know how the idea that people don’t learn from negativity became widely recognized. because lol i can recite criticism i got 20 years ago but don’t remember compliments i got yesterday.

Oh no :( I had such a crush on her when I was like eight. She was a terrific and underappreciated actress.

Probably my favorite thing about Bob’s Burgers is that they don’t do that thing where the characters try to one-up each other with an endless barrage of jokes? No, the characters react like actual people instead. They actually laugh or chuckle when somebody says something actually funny and/or weird. They stop mid-sentence. They do double-takes. And it all feels so very natural, because that is exactly what common people do. And that is such a refreshing change of pace, when you consider the fact that the norm in these things is to have jokes relentlessly thrown at you at break-necking speed.
also the comedy doesn’t rely on the parents hating and berating eachother idk i love that
it shows how you don’t need to be offensive to be funny
general banter is the best way to write dialogue
This is a really grate thing about BB’s.
Also I just LOVE when characters laugh at other character’s joke in comedies so much? Like on this week’s B99 when Diaz laughed at Gina’s joke about Amy, I rewound it back three times
And Bob is right to go with Linda’s suggestion, it’s really good. :D
