spite isn't an emotion, it's a lifestyle

wore a cowboy costume to the gay bar and went home with a guy dressed as a gladiator and it was really fun but the whole time i couldnt stop thinking about how we looked like those two queens from night at the museum

that post about negotiation with hoas by threatening to set up a ham radio tower bc the fcc would back you up will not work at all even slightly but i will say that the blood feud between hoas and ham radio ppl is real & eternal. like if you want to get around hoa rules a ham radio person will probably have ideas

once again thinking about this guys “birdhouse” bc his hoa banned antennas but not “birdhouses”

One time I was helping a ham radio guy with his email and mentioned how I wanted to get into ham radio, but couldn’t because I lived in an apartment. That guy immediately rattled off like, five different ways I could set up a radio antenna inside my apartment, and seven different ways I could hide/disguise the antenna and still get a decent radio signal. Ham radio enthusiasts are a hybrid between boy scouts and wizards and I love them they play an important role in our ecosystem

love how all these homeschooling/unschooling tiktok moms just admit their problem with public school is not stress and bullying but that their children might end up disagreeing with their political views and lifestyle.

it's not a coincidence homeschooling in the US is heavily tied to evangelicals and promoted by far right think tanks lol. they know they'll lose if their kids leave home.

Sometimes a creative outlet is a fun little hobby and sometimes it's a lifelong affliction. Like I crochet because making little woven animals sparks joy and I'm a writer whether I like it or not because I'm tormented by visions

Me crocheting: I made a duck ! ^_^

Me writing: pacing around talking to myself compelled by forces beyond my comprehension

2026 will be the year of Reading The Whole Article Before You Talk About It Or Spread It Around Online. all of the kids will be doing it and it will be so hip and popular. feel free to get started sooner if you'd like.

Just realised that if Donald Trump wins the presidential elections, it’ll be 5 years before we can even think about a canon Destiel.. Dammit America, what are you doing!

Presenting: Jingle Bell Schlock

You thought I was done creating stupid prompts? Nope.

I learned absolutely nothing from all the ao3 subscribers who unfollowed me during Schlocktober, so here are some schlocky prompts for December.

FAQs:

Why "schlock"?

It means trash/junk, and that's the quality of content I'm striving for with these prompts. Think Chuck Tingle. Think Jingle All the Way or Violent Night. (I say all of these things affectionately)

What fandom is this for?

Whatever fandom you want. Original fiction is okay too.

What about RPF?

RPF is fine, so long as it's clearly fictional. See the few rules below.

What ships can I write/draw?

Any of them.

Even [my fandom's most despised ship]?

Especially [your fandom's most despised ship].

What if I want to combine prompts? What if I want to write or draw things out of order? What if...

Go for it. The rules are made up and the points don't matter. Celebrate Jingle Bell Schlock in February for all I care.

Are crossovers okay?

Do. Whatever. You. Want.

What if I want to create something problematic?

That's 90% of what we do here.

What does [prompt] mean?

You tell me. It's all open to interpretation. I've seen people turn what I thought were the smuttiest prompts into safe for work fluff, and I've seen more benign prompts turned to absolute filth.

What are the vibes?

Just have fun.

But other people are having fun wrong!

Shut the fuck up.

Are there any rules at all?

Sure.

  1. No irl bigotry, threats, etc. Your characters can be problematic as all get out, but if you try to post a weird pro-JK Rowling essay or a manifesto about overthrowing the government of Guam, you're not going in the collection, bud. Don't kill the vibes.
  2. No AI use. If you need an LLM to write your schlock for you, consider a long walk off a short pier. If you need it to do your editing for you, use a beta reader instead. A stick figure peed into a snow bank is better than soulless AI art.
  3. Tag appropriately. 'Creator Chose Not to Use Archive Warnings' means anything goes. 'No Archive Warnings Apply' means your work is guaranteed not to contain any of the major archive warnings (non-con, major character death, graphic violence, or underage sex). Schlock readers deserve to be informed.

How do I participate?

There's an ao3 collection right here:

The collection will open for submissions on November 14th.

If you're posting on bsky, just hashtag #jinglebellschlock or @ schlocktober.

Text version of the prompts under the cut.

A new German development surprises with its innovation in hydroelectric energy: it is the cableKites technology, which harnesses the power of the sea.

This is a power generation system based on underwater “kites” that converts water currents into clean energy without the need for dams.

The model mimics the operation of a ski lift, although in reverse.

The prototype was designed by researchers from the Hochschule München together with the Technical University of Munich and the company Enrope GmbH.

vulcan horror movies would be an exercise in emotional regulation against fear, targeted directly at vulcans' deepest insecurities. movies titled "IT IS ILLOGICAL TO QUIVER AT THIS SEQUENCE OF EVENTS" which, if one of its hundred-and-six jumpscares gets you, you'll never live it down. humans find them annoyingly scary, like a friend who won't stop trying to "get" you.

you'd think that klingon horror movies are gorefests, but it's actually quite the opposite: gore is honorable, and nothing is scarier than dishonor. they often show a person whose life falls apart despite their own valiance and virtues: like an earth tragedy but with someone who clearly doesn't deserve it. at the end, there's often an operatic number where the protagonist exclaims that there's nothing they could have done to prevent their abysmal fate.

ferengi horror movies are documentaries about stock market crashes

OP, I would like to dispute your first point slightly.

While Vulcan horror movies like "IT IS ILLOGICAL TO QUIVER AT THIS SEQUENCE OF EVENTS" almost certainly exist, they exist, as you pointed out, for humans (and probably very young Vulcans) to find annoyingly scary.

They do not represent what a Vulcan Horror movie, intended for (adult) Vulcan audiences looks like. The actually frightening thing about those kinds of movies, is that the characters act completely logically.

Now, I have often seen people, usually in a joking way, point out that if characters in horror movies acted in a completely logical manner, said movies would either be boring or non-existent. But this simply isn't true, because "logical" and "correct" don't mean the same thing.

It was completely logical for the research team that make up the cast of "The Thing" to let the thing-dog into their base, because they didn't know it was anything other than a dog.

It was completely logical for Johnathan Harker to not suspect Count Dracula until it was too late for him to do anything, because obviously, vampires aren't real, that's ridiculous.

It was completely logical for the kids in Friday the 13th to not notice that they were being picked off one by one until it was too late not to, because it would be weird to assume that someone or something would be after them in the middle of nowhere, since as far as they know, they're the only people out there.

Horror where the characters act completely logical is not "characters don't go outside to investigate the strange noise" because that isn't scary. It's "because you didn't think it would be good idea to go outside and deal with whatever was making the noise, now it's inside".

So Vulcan horror movies intended for a Vulcan audience are these very psychological movies where the characters make what seems to be the most logical decision for the situation at hand, but something seems... off. And keeps becoming more and more off as the film progresses. Are they losing their mind? Surely not, the decisions they've made have been strange, but perfectly logically sound- Until a critical piece of information is revealed that shows that the choices they made have just been making the situation worse all along. And there's nothing they can do about it, except try to live through it.

It's the sort of film where if you go back and re-watch it, you realize that the character was doomed from the start. There was, logically, no other choice they could have made based on the information at hand, and the most important information came too late.

Because to any sensible, logical being, there's nothing more terrifying than illogic and helplessness.
