Okay so I haven’t been on tumblr in ages, and I don’t plan on coming back, but let me tell those of you out there who DON’T think an increase of violence is somewhat inevitable:

I live in Colorado. Now, many probably think that as the first state to legalize the recreational use of marijuana, it must be a liberal paradise. In actual fact, Colorado lands on both sides of the spectrum on both sides of the Rockies-- it’s a swing state. For instance, Colorado Springs. Second most populated city after Denver, and according to an MIT study fourth most conservative city in the country. While there has been a lot of talk about crossing party lines to vote, it’s no secret most of the country (the political center, symbolized by places like Denver) is viewing this election as the choice between the lesser of two evils. Campaign ads are constantly blaring in the state, arguing for both sides. If you turn on the radio and hit a commercial you’ll hear some registered arms dealer ranting about sales on guns likely to be outlawed if Hillary is elected. You walk in to any public place with a TV and it’s Trump’s face on the screen yelling profanities, juxtaposed by sad looking mothers with disabled and minority children stating that as a true republican they will be voting for Hillary. This year it’s true the state is sort of an indigo color in how it votes, as Trump is behind about 4 points, but it is VERY MUCH a battleground state. As I live in an area where opinions on this election (other than that no one really likes either candidate) are divided nearly down the middle and even on the weekdays half the population seems to be as high as a kite, I have a feeling “battleground state” could get a lot more literal, especially due to Colorado’s policies on mail-in ballots. No, it won’t be like the Purge, and many people will not be joining in on the violence. But as with all things political, the loudest and most controversial people are the ones who paint the picture for everyone else. This is our polarized political climate represented in the most “in-your-face” way possible. The irony lies in the fact that Hillary is not a true Democrat and Trump is not a true Republican by their modern definitions. While having a two party system is somewhat of a insulation from the country being entirely dominated by the political mongers and kingmakers littering today’s rhetoric, it is also the main reason polarizing politics like these are possible. You might as well just have one big party if both candidates edge closer to the political center. The most dangerous part about this election is that it is essentially a very volatile game of tug-of-war over the political center. Truth is, if you identify as far left or far right, you don’t have NEARLY the pull in this election that the center does. The rioters likely to emerge later are not people who would have effected the election. The only thing deciding this election is the middle-ground. 

I had a feeling I wold get some asks like these.

First off, your concerns are valid. I know what my post sounds like. I fully acknowledge it may sound extreme to some. And I respect your desire to not see fearmongering and scare people. I don’t want that either.

However, my post is not exaggerating. I have real life reasons for why I made it. So let me explain.

Abroad Trip

Hey guys! It’s been a long time but I’ve been wondering if my tiny tumblr community could do me a favor-- this summer, I am planning on going on an abroad trip to Japan, I’ve been learning the language for going on three years. However, things like this aren’t cheap and I want to avoid burdening my parents as much as possible! So, I’ve set up a gofundme that is working towards the goal to get me over there, pay for my flights, have food money, etc. In exchange I’m offering my art, and I would very much love it if you could donate a bit or pass this on! Thank you so much, my link is here:  gofundme.com/p6h23nxw

kinda give away :)

straight to the point of me annoying you with a text post, I’ve been going through old stuff and found a Finder clearfile that I never ever used, well I can’t use something with such images on it xD plus I’m not such a huge and devoted Yamane Ayano fan to be drooling over it. It came with one of BexBoy GOLD issues that I happened to buy. Front and back:

so let’s do it this way, let’s turn it into a small give-away, entries accepted through likes or reblogs (my ask box is closed so do not waste time on that). The one who’ll get it will be chosen via random choice generator, let’s say in a week, will one week be enough? because not all people log in every day y’know. oh yeah, almost forgot to mention, entries are valid for everyone, not followers only.

[sneezing-striders]

RULES

- reblogs and likes both count

- you can like/reblog as many times as you want

- you can only win one of the three

- i’ll only do headshots for this one (be it anyone you want, from any fandom as long as you can provide references) 

- make sure your ask is open, if it isnt or you dont reply within 24h i will have to inform you that i’ll chose someone else

Seaworld worker: “ Sorry Shamu, we just have to let you go.”

[Shamu portrayed by viner simply wearing a black and white table cloth over his head] 

Shamu: [shouting angrily] “ Aw this some bullshit! What’d I do!”

Worker: “ You ate a guy!”

Shamu: “ Greg?”

Worker: “Yeah!”

Shamu: “ Fuck Greg!”

Does anyone else feel like a “filler friend”? Like you just sit there, never contributing to the conversation, and when you do, no one notices. You don’t really have a purpose or do anything and kinda just sit there existing. No one ever invites you ever or asks to do anything with you, and people even make group plans right in front of you and neglect your presence. It’s not that anyone means for this to happen it kinda just does?

[sneezing-striders]

If I had always been wrong, then I'll just return and start anew The me that had never anything happen to before... The pure me..
