Ok, not REALLY rude! But definitely not ginger...unfortunately! ************************************************ This is a multi-fandom blog with some random stuff flung in every now and then if it pleases me, or if I think it should be out in the universe. Things you may find here include the following: Sherlock, Doctor Who, Tolkien, Harry Potter, Avengers, Star Wars, Star Trek, Firefly/Serenity, The Big Bang Theory, The Vampire Diaries/Originals, Pitch Perfect, Jeremy Renner, Benedict Cumberbatch, David Tennant, Matt Smith, Nathan Fillion, Tom Hiddleston, The Beatles, lots of British things, music, adorable animals, beautiful things, food, and whatever else I'm obsessing over at the moment! I don't post or re-blog much that is NSFW, but I do curse and use innuendo and adult humor if the mood strikes me! And it often does! Feel free to talk to me! My ask box is open! I like making new friends!
So, I decided to make a master list of my work, because it seems like the thing that is done and I want my work to be easily reached for those who want it.
Or would you rather have your own copy of a similar story about Shane and a man named Captain Syberg with a dog named Ciara? For $2.99 or free with Kindle Unlimited? Hmmm, wonder where one might get that…

AO3 link available upon request, but it’s multi-fandom and may not appeal to my current readership.
I’m open to requests if you like my style and would like me to write a particular scenario. Nothing is off limits, really, and if I’m not comfortable writing something, or don’t have time, I’ll respectfully and amicably decline. I’m not here to yuck anyone else’s yum!
I never, ever want to hear again how children aren’t safe with my community. They did more to stop a mass murderer than a literal army of cops in Uvalde.
My community are not the problem: the right wing radicalisation of angry, young white boys is.
6 hour workday maximum i’m not kidding, if it can’t be done in that timeframe it doesn’t need doing.
this doesn’t apply to jobs like childcare
If i worked in childcare and my 6 hours were up i would start putting babies in ziploc bags and shipping them to Turkmenistan listed as endangered fruits and vegetables
I can not fathom the emptiness, the insecurity, the insatiable need for attention and validation, the staggering arrogance, the malevolence and total void of human experience that is Elon Musk.
He’s the richest man on the planet. You can’t go anywhere or do anything without interacting with something he’s part of in some way. There are literal millions of people who uncritically worship him, in spite of overwhelming evidence that he’s a douchebag. Some number of them will come after me, as they come after anyone who points at their naked emperor. They’ll spend entire days going after me and people like me, slavishly serving a man who does not even know they exist. They are his army of fools, uncritically serving his every whim. And it still isn’t enough.
He can have any material thing he wants, and he will *never* be happy or satisfied. He has no real friends. Every single person around him is either a viper, a parasite, or both.
So what does he do? He bullies and threatens and harasses and trolls and behaves like the weak, scared, insecure child he has always been. That’s a tragedy for him, but it’s dangerous for us. He doesn’t care what he destroys or who he hurts as he chases this existential thing he cannot ever have.
You know the saying “hurt people hurt people”? He’s a hurt person who is hurting our society, making people I care about less safe. The consequences of this one man’s midlife crisis are global, and that terrifies me.
In a comment, about an hour later, I added:
You
know what’s really interesting is the tiny number of people who are
attacking and harassing me are either typical right wing idiots who all
spew the same garbage from behind their wraparound sunglasses, or these
weird nerds who are DESPERATE to justify how toxic and cruel and destructive Elon Musk is. Like,
nerds, listen to Old Man Wheaton, please.
Don’t hitch your wagon to
Elon Musk. There are countless people who are amazing and genuinely
good, who do all the things we wish we could do. Stop defending this
piece of shit who would push you into a volcano without even learning
your name, if it would save him half a second on his way to his next
shitpost on $8Chan (formerly known as Twitter).He
doesn’t stand up to anyone. He doesn’t stand up FOR anyone. He is not
your champion. He’s angry and chaotic and destructive, and you have to
understand that the scorpion doesn’t care who it stings.
Finally, I want to add two things: 1) It’s interesting to me that a lot of the people who came to my post to be dicks used a lot of MAGA language. It reminds me of this thing my friend says about concerts: the audience looks like the band. Of course there’s substantial overlap between the angry, hateful, terrified, cowards who support Trump and the same who Stan Elon Musk, and it’s real interesting to see it in action.
2) I haven’t used Twitter for years. I quit before it was popular (lol) because it was better for my mental health. I logged in once when my book was published, and I deleted all my tweets when he announced he was buying Twitter. When he took over and immediately amplified a conspiracy theorist, I made my account private. In a perfect world, I would delete my account entirely. But I have to keep it for reasons I hope I don’t have to explain. After I posted this on Facebook, it made its way around Twitter (still is, four days later, which is … a thing that is happening) and when people went to look at my account, they saw that it was closed. As much of a fucking manbaby Elon Musk clearly is, he didn’t do anything to my account. In fact, the only reason he even knows I exist (if he does) is through a vanity search of his name. I locked my account on my own, and so should you.
I am only on:
Tumblr
Facebook (itswilwheaton)
Instagram (itswilwheaton)
and my blog that I’ve been neglecting for too long at wilwheaton.net.
I’ve had a Reddit account since 2006, predating user-created subs! I’m u/wil there.
Okay that’s all. Thanks for listening. Please choose to be kind.
