Reblog this with the most obscure thing you’ve had to research for fanfic

lena-hills

You know the whole "Captain can marry people in international waters" thing? ITS FUCKING FAKE! It is just a handy plot device people started using (thought possibly because Captains had to record marriages in their ship's log and writers saw it and figured it was a thing). Simple internet search shows it's a myth. Meaning I did more research for my Star Wars smutty fanfic than the writers of multiple professional books and television shows!

Registered sex offenders in Ontario would not be able to legally change their names if a bill that's before the legislature passes.Β 

The legislation jointly introduced this week by Progressive Conservatives Laurie Scott and Laura Smith is all but ensured passage, with their party -- which has a majority in the legislature-- supporting it.

"This bill, if passed, will stop the Karla Homolkas from becoming the Leanne Teales," Smith said, referring to the infamous killer and her name change.

"We just feel that the right to change somebody's name should not be abused. We want to strengthen our province's commitment to zero tolerance to these offenders and their heinous crimes and put our full support behind the victims and the families ... We have to close up this loophole."

oooooh i don't like where this is going

lots of people in the states being changed to count as 'sex offenders' thanks to a lot of anti-trans bills, and with Saskatchewan passing their shitty "need parents' permission to change pronouns" law that just passed...

😬

Your reminder that - yea, even in extreme circumstances like these - rights are rights, not “good boy privileges”.

When we take away the rights of undesirable communities, we give the oppressor the tool by which to disenfranchise anyone who opposes them.

There are a not-insignificant number of older queers who are sex offenders for doing things like "hitting on another adult of the same gender" here in the US, so that ... scans.

And this is already an issue in the US. Many states make it really hard for anyone convicted of a crime to change their name.

Here's a fairly recent list by state (2020).

And given our prison industrial complex... there are a lot of people with prior convictions being affected here.

Theoretically, it's about preventing someone from evading registries or parole by changing their name - but does anyone else remember the media circus and procedural mess that Chelsea Manning went through?

ok but who wants to see some of the sick photos I took of the partial solar eclipse today?

Like I know that partials aren't as cool and it was semi-cloudy today but like some of that light refraction SLAPS

I'm going to explain, because its not always apparent what camera tricks I'm using.

When your camera is on Manual, you control how much light is allowed into the sensor. When shooting objects in the dark, you want to let in as much light as possible. When shooting in extremely bright situations, you want to let in very little light so that you can get as much detail as possible.

Because I'm shooting the motherfucking sun, I put all of my settings so that I could get very little light.

Because of this, the sky seems very dark. People who saw this will say that the sky was not this dark, and they are right. Every time there's a celestial event in Ohio, its overcast. I'm taking advantage of this to catch the light refracting against the clouds.

Fucking cool shit is what happened.

You are going to want to let in as much light as possible. The sun gives off lots of ambient light that the moon doesn't, and on top of that the moon is going to be shadowed.

So you'll want your shutter speed super low. Trying at 1/30, then keep ticking lower. Bump the ISO up as high as you feel comfortable. Focal length as shallow as your lens will let you, like 4.5 or lower.

You will absolutely need a tripod. If your hands bump even a little bit it'll be moon soup.

Genuinely one of the best things in fiction is letting a character have a real ugly cry. Get out of here with that ‘single silent tear’ bullshit, you cowards. I want the catharsis of an actual emotional breakdown! Make it noisy, make it wet and snotty and gross! Make it ugly and unfiltered and raw!

This blew up and I’m pleased to see so many people tagging Astarion because I was definitely thinking about him on his knees just wailing after [redacted.] A lot of people mentioning One Piece too and y’all are so right about that. Oda is really good about letting basically every single character get to ugly cry.

i know that binghe being extremely jealous isn’t “normal” or “sane” but i’m honestly on his side here. like his concerns that sqq will be stolen from him are pretty rational. i really think that almost every scum villain character, in the event that sqq would want to papapa with them, would agree almost immediately. sqq is the xianxia equivalent of helen of troy.
