people who draw werewolves skinny in their human form…. i’m sorry it’s just not realistic. if you wake up naked in the forest at least once a month you’re gonna want a lil extra bulk. if you’re cold, she’s cold. give your werewolf a belly. no, bigger. *cocks pistol* bigger

Not arguing with someone that has a crease under their lip from their overbite. Whatever you say beautiful

Listen to me. Hairy dykes are vital to the community. Essential. And I mean hairy dykes. Happy trails, fuzzy stomachs, chest hair on breasts or flat chests or otherwise, hairy pits, full bushes, hairy arms and legs. Hairy asses. Facial hair. I’m talking all of it. If you’re a hairy dyke you’re a cornerstone of this community I love you you’re so sexy

You ruined a perfectly hot middle aged man by giving him abs

Why you should write healthy marriages:

1. They aren’t done enough.

2. They help other people understand what a healthy relationship looks like.

3. Fights can last for weeks and still be part of a healthy marriage.

4. Stereotypes. Break all the marriage stereotypes.

5. Soft cute couple moments DON’T stop after marriage.

6. Marriage is completely independent of character arcs. Those two individuals with trauma will still be two individuals with trauma but with gold rings.

7. A healthy marriage is one where people understand that their partners have baggage/trauma/flaws, but love them even in rough patches. 

8. It isn’t that healthy marriages aren’t compelling, it’s that people don’t know how to write marriages correctly. 

9. Marriages being an end goal often perpetuates that women are trophies to be won.

10. Marriages being an end goal often perpetuates that someone’s “freedom” ends there. Bury this trope, please, I beg of you.

you guys are so annoying. why do i have to see discourse every year that's like "was tolkien really a woke king or was he your conservative uncle?" the guy was a devout catholic and a genteel misogynist who maintained lifelong friendships with queer people and women, and this isn't even paradoxical because that was part of the upper-class oxford culture he was immersed in. tolkien told the nazis to fuck off (and in doing so demonstrated a real understanding of what racism is and why it's harmful, beyond simply "these guys are bad news because they're who my country is at war with right now") but his inner life was marked by internalized racism that is deeply and inextricably woven into the art that he made. he foolishly described himself as an anarcho-monarchist, and it's kind of crazy to see people on this website passionately arguing that he likely never meaningfully engaged with anarchist theory, because...yeah, no shit, of course he didn't. tolkien didn't have to engage with most sociopolitical theory because as an upper-class englishman of his position, he was never affected by any of the issues that this theory is concerned with. what is plainly obvious from reading both his fiction and letters is that tolkien's ideal political system was that the divinely ordained god-king would rise up and rule in perfect justice and humility; he didn't want a government, he wanted a king arthur, even though (obviously) he was aware that outcome was impossible. why is it so hard for people to accept that he was just some guy! his letters aren't a code you have to crack. no amount of arguing or tumblr-level analysis is going to one day reveal a rhetorically airtight internally consistent worldview spanning jrrt's fiction, academic work, and personal writings, thereby "solving" the question of whether he was a woke king or your conservative uncle. his ideology was extremely inconsistent because, at the end of the day, he was just some guy.

Also going to @ the folks (mostly on Reddit) who are like ~uh DUH, this book is over a hundred years old-

Okay, I’m not over a hundred years old, and therefore reserve the right to be a fucking hater😡

I’ve seen posts that are like ~oh you got offended by the racism and misogyny in a HORROR book, that’s the point dummy~

And like, totally agree! When racism and misogyny are, in fact, used as an element of horror, or used to make the reader/watcher question things about their own privilege, and how it may make them monstrous, 100%!

But liiiiike, are we paying attention to what function bigotry has in the narrative? Might it, sometimes, be used to bolster and encourage the heroes, who are then rewarded for their bigotry?

Is not monstrosity often used to represent the other, the deviant, the queer? And is it not monstrosity that is punished so heavily in horror?

Sometimes a book/ movie is racist and misogynistic for a purpose, and sometimes, it’s just fucking racist and misogynistic.
