Been thinking a lot about the new Captain American movie and how corporations like Disney wield representation and diveristy as a cudgel to get people to support movies and shows they otherwise wouldn't, either because of things like the BDS boycott or because the scripts fucking suck or they mistreated their animators / SFX teams / actors etc etc. And you're left with the choice to either support media you know is crap or look like the racist swine who see a Black Captain America and shit their diapers. I don't know if they think this far ahead / nefariously but it's a great way to split your opposition and turn them against each other.

Dudes shouldn't have to prove themselves by having spartan greyscale homes with dollar store rubber shower curtains and a mattress on the floor. Do you know what life is like with linen
hey when you make posts, i just want you to know, thou/thee/thy/thine/ye are like he/you(object)/your/yours/you(subject) okay? "thou art wearing shoes," "i will wear shoes for thee," okay?
you say thine if the next word starts with a vowel and thy if the next word starts with a consonant and they both mean "your" so "thine own shoes," "thy shoes," okay?
and ye means you and refers to the subject of a sentence, "ye members of the brotherhood of shoes," okay? you need this information to create better knight yaoi. i'm personally more interested in nun yuri but we are a community
I hope things won't always be like this.
Just an extremely Normal thing to say
Reminder they want to increase the budget for ICE from 3.5 to 45 billion dollars.
Reminder the majority of that will be for building new detention centers.
Reminder ICE are *currently* detaining tourists who can pay for a plane ticket home and people with visa issues that were already resolved, because they have to make quota so Trump can brag about the numbers going up.
Reminder most of these people were already in the immigration system - that's why they were easy to detain.
Reminder this is all at taxpayer expense.
Reminder these are people.
the thing is that childhood doesn't just end when you turn 18 or when you turn 21. it's going to end dozens of times over. your childhood pet will die. actors you loved in movies you watched as a kid will die. your grandparents will die, and then your parents will die. it's going to end dozens and dozens of times and all you can do is let it. all you can do is stand in the middle of the grocery store and stare at freezers full of microwave pizza because you've suddenly been seized by the memory of what it felt like to have a pizza party on the last day of school before summer break. which is another ending in and of itself
It's my 1 year anniversary on Tumblr 🥳
Cutesy awesome sauce
I hate the sound of babies crying, but I can't hate a baby. They've been here for like five minutes and approach this situation with an unhesitant attitude of "my needs are unmet and I am going to make it everybody's problem", and I respect that.
Just a few seconds ago
I remember
Life seemed so grimm
So dark
So mean
Until i told you the truth
And we changed
We changed things together
Just between us
And the world
With your kindness
Grew brighter
I coudnt see the sun
Until i talked to you
I couldnt see the clouds and how they drfited
So soft and wistfully
Until you made me smile
You whisked me away
So unknowingly
From the darkness ive surrounded myself with
And it wasnt until then
That i saw how beautifully the blue sky was
And that i remembered
How the clouds reminded me of your dress
The dress you wore when we first met
Ill never forget
Not that day
Not that dress
Not you
Not ever.
I wish i was truly alone
Alone in a house
Alone in the woods
Alone in the world
So i wouldnt have to feel the pain of people
Hear the pain of people
Know the pain of people
I am scared
I am a coward
You are the best thing to have ever happened to me
And i do not want to lose you
I love you so solidly
So wholey
So maturely
So beyond my years
If i told you
All of this
Would you tell me too?
That you love me so truly?
So wholey?
So beyond your years?
Live your life, and ill live mine
But let me live my life with you
Beside yours
Id like to live
Teach me how to do that?
So that i dont do it wrong
I dont want to do it wrong
I am fragile
I am glass
Thin, brittle
But my love for you is strong
Like roman concrete
With it, i am stronger
As i weather through life
I heal
Like roman concrete
Though neve fully, never wholey
I dont mind
Because your love makes me strong
But i cannot be strong
Without you
If i told you that
Would you see me as simple?
As weak?
As codependent?
Is this parasitical?
Am i bad for you?
Do i bite?
Through my creation, have i poluted?
The water, the air?
With my volcanic ash?
Have i hurt?
Can you breath?
Do i bite?
Have i bitten?
Im scared
I am weak
I feel alone
Solitary
Singular
But with you,
You help
You do not complete me
That is not your job
To complete me
But you
You do so much more
