Karen with her unvaccinated child

[emeraldspiral]

Invader Zim episode where the president of the HOA controlling Zim’s neighborhood starts forcing everyone to change their houses to conform to their standards. Zim initially complies by making his house Neutral For Real Estate Purposes in order to not stand out, but can’t stand how boring it is after the makeover and decides to overthrow the HOA president so that he can rule the neighborhood with an iron first.

Making a list of good signs that Tommy's set for being a long-term love interest for Buck, to see how many we get. So far I've got:

Number of episodes similar to established partners or long-term love interests (like Karen or Taylor)

Backstory

Tommy plays a part in a storyline other than his romance with Buck

Tommy gets his own 'storyline' (B-plot, like Taylor and Ransone's investigation for example)

Home is shown; bonus: conversation about moving in (extra: Buck moves in)

Big Damn Hero moment

Tommy in danger moment

Buck and Tommy have a disagreement and resolve it well; bonus points if they come out of it stronger.

Multiple scenes with other characters; bonus points if they serve to show their bond / Buck isn't there.

Tommy POV (we see him with 'outside' characters).

Inclusion in promo materials.

Anything else?

When people say Alicent was jealous of Rhaenyra I don't think they realize what exactly Alicent was jealous of Rhaenyra for. It wasn’t because she got to choose who she slept with, it was because Rhaenyra had so much power (being a Princess, having a dragon, being named heir to a throne and remaining heir even after having three true born brothers, going on a "tour" to find a husband of her choosing, willingly loosing her maidenhead before marriage to a man she was not betrothed too, not being forced to marry said man, willingly having three obvious bastards and getting away with it) and acted like she was powerless/refused to recognize that power.

Yep, and the thing is in the books you get a sense that Rhaenyra knows her power, and younger!Rhaenyra in the show appears to know her power, but by episode 7 she’s out there acting like a woman without any agency. She is inarguably the most privileged woman of her time.

Now before anyone goes on saying how she is oppressed(please look up the actual definition of the word because in no way shape or form was she actually oppressed) and her crown was usurped because she was a woman, you have to admit that Rhaenyra is objectively able to get away with stuff that other women(including Alicent who is privileged in her own way as well) wouldn’t be able to. Not only that she punches down so much and uses her privilege to actively harm others.

If Alicent were to do half the stuff she did, her head would be on a spike, her sons sent to the wall(or killed), and Helaena banished or made to become a septa.

Even if Rhaenyra had admitted that the Strong boys were in fact bastards, while she may have lost the support of the houses of Westeros that she did have(House Velaryon certainly would have dropped her like a hot cake), she and her kids would still live, she would’ve remained princess of Dragonstone(just not heir to the Iron Throne), and those boys would’ve been given land and lordship.

It was never life and death for her. Her life and the life of her children would never have been in danger like Alicent and her children’s was and would’ve been. Rhaenyra’s worst enemy was herself. She made a mess of her own life which brought the death of all the Strong boys and ultimately herself. Alicent was rightfully upset about what Rhaenyra was allowed to get away with 🤷🏽‍♀️

Mostly when women seem afraid of me I feel like “aww im sorry the world has made you feel that way, friend” but when it’s a conservative prim looking older white woman I just want to laugh aloud

[kaurwreck]

I cannot relate when people talk about being unable to distinguish comorbid symptoms, at least not to the same degree. I have mine fairly parsed, including where they overlap and exacerbate each other, in part because of how aggressively I've pursued treatment while also staggering it in such a way that allowed me and my psychs to identify the separate disorders.

[giantkillerjack]

today, i had a call with my psychiatrist office, and i threatened to file a complaint of patient endangerment with the department of public health. so. that was fucking intense. i did a great job tho. i am an articulate son of a bitch, even if i shouldn't have to be, and i am going to ensure the head doctor of that office calls me and explains herself or i will become A Problem.

[teenagefeeling]

i like that i occasionally run into young women or girls (like my age and younger) named ada. because it wasn't a common name for a long time so i always assume they were probably named after a grandparent or great-grandparent and i think that's a sweet reason for names to come back into popularity

Cant leave this in the tags because it lands a point only fukcing FLASHGITZ understood

Teenagers dont have ANYTHING: they could study, but thats boring. They could watch youtube, but its post 2021 so We're Fucked. They could go outside and... get arrested for existing. They could play videogames but then get yelled at by their parents for effectively no reason. And honestly the more the world understands that Hey, Hazbin Hotel And Space King Are For Teenagers And One Is For Girls And The Other Is For Boys the better.

Granted that whole "target audience is teenagers" thing has some... VERY BAD implications. But lets just say that THIS is what we CAN give teens because everything post 2019 is just CN shows (craig of the creek is HARD carrying toghether with TAWOG and we should be kinda grateful, BUT FFS RERUN BEN 10 CLASSIC AND ONWARDS AND ALSO STEVEN UNIVERSE I WANT MY CHILDHOOD BACK-) and all that.

What happens when everyone has run out of things to do? What happens when TV must be reformed?

Simple. We hope the corpse of 4kids stays the fuck down.

i have to watch hazbin hotel, like imagine if it was secretly good. thatd be nuts

Humans Are Crazy

Aliens have such different gender and biology from humans that none of them menstruate. So imagine this.

Alien: Human Steve, why did I find blood on the lavatory floor?

Steve: Oh, that's just Karen.

Alien: What??

Steve: Human females bleed from their reproductive organs once every month for five to seven days.

Alien: wHAT?!

Steve, calmly: Yeah, they can lose enough blood in a lifetime to kill ten grown men.

Alien: WHaT ?!?!

Karen, walking in: Steve, I need A FUCKING break. And chocolate. And a heating pad. I'll be in my sleeping quarters. Also, I threw up.

Steve: Okay, take the day off, I'll bring you your stuff in a bit.

Alien: *jots down in notebook* Human females are indestructible and fearsome. Regard them with respect.

EDIT: I swear, if this is the thing that makes me Tumblr famous, I’m gonna blow a braincell. And I don’t have many of those left, so…

Edit 2: Guys. Guys. What?! My grumpy menstrual rant is in no way worthy of being tumblr famous. *is mildly to severely confused/thankful/bumfuddled*

Edit 3: Why is this still getting notes wtf

Edit 4: STOP REBLOGING THISSSSSS

edit 5: if you like this, go look at these:

This is now a masterlist.

In our first '23 meeting the other week my boss was like "you probably notice that Karen isn't here, she's no longer part of the [REDACTED] team... Its because..." and then gave like a well thought out but brief explanation of why she parted ways and I thought that was impressively diplomatic bc we all fucking knew she was a fucking Karen

The greatest decision Intergalactic Wave 6 ever made was hiring Reggie Bradford.

At the time of Finch’s hiring IW6 was a relatively small news organization based in the outer worlds. Barely reaching four systems on a good day compared to the top contenders like Celestial Times which was broadcasted in inner core systems and pulled in an average of twenty to thirty systems each broadcast. The anchors for IW6 were locals, a Temrelien that needed a third grade translator unit just to be barely understood and a Myporie which couldn’t see the color green.

As the underdog’s underdog, IW6 more often fed off larger stories reported by other stations or small local stories relevant to a handful of worlds.  Nothing interesting happened in their corner of the universe so as long as they broke even they were fine to never reach further than the length of their arm.

Reggie Bradford was a hired on as a cameraman to work for one of the planetary studios on Orbin VIII. You’d find him either working in the back making sure the camera bots were functioning or, more often, when they weren’t he’d be manning the forty pound cameras himself. The studio crews were always amazed how this seemingly out of shape man could heft the heavy outdated camera unit like it was as light as a pen.

They wondered what a lone human was doing so far out in the boonies as he would say, but he would always shrug and say that he felt like this is where he belonged; a notion IW6 would be most grateful for in the coming days.

When the Intherax/Coalition war broke out it was the biggest news story to hit the plasma streams since the death of Empress Karen III when she was eaten by her own corganai.

The Intherax were a militaristic society, trained from birth to kill before anything else, and spanned some fifty star systems not including client kingdoms and vassals. General galactic dealings with them often boiled down to standing aside from whatever they wanted and hoping it wasn’t you or your world, lest the invasion armadas would descend and obliterate what little civilization your people had been able to achieve and then be sold into slavery.

This time however when the Intherax made a proclamation to annex the colony worlds of Jense, Shatu’a, and New Hamburg the current occupants politely told them to bugger off and formed a Coalition for mutual defense. From there dozens of governing powers flocked to the coalition and added their strength to it in what they saw as the best chance of finally checking Intherax aggression once and for all.

Ever one for a challenge, the Interax declared war on this new found coalition and opened the conflict by orbital bombarding Jense until it was little more than a cold husk of rock trapped in the decaying orbit of its system’s sun.

What followed was best described as two sides of no holds bar warfare as the Coalition retaliated with the first ever invasion of Intherax territory against the world called Kai’de.

Naturally every news organization wanted to be seen covering the war, including IW6. Sadly they did not have anyone either brave enough to send so they settled on sending someone they believed was stupid enough and sent Reggie.

They expected to get some b-roll of soldiers marching or shots of fleet warships in formation. They never expected nor asked him to go into active combat. So when the first feed came back during their late night broadcast they were surprised to see that Reggie was onboard an assault ship breaking through atmosphere.

“Reggie,” the Temrelien spoke with every other word shifting tone from the broken translator, “where are you?”

“I’m currently with brave members of the 27th Dragoons as they head to take the fight to the surface of Kai’de.”

Reggie waved a hand at the soldiers who in turn gave a rousing cheer and slammed their feet against the metal decking.

“Orders came in late last night for a massed landing to take the enemy by surprise. From what I understand the Intherax military had not expected coalition forces to invade their territory and have not had time to establish proper defenses.”

Both news anchors looked at each other in confusion.

“If that’s the case isn’t this broadcast putting the entire attack at risk?”

To their surprise Reggie laughed as the camera shook.

“The plan was to get them by surprise, but judging from the amount of anti-air fire,” he said as the assault ship rocked back and forth, “I don’t think they were fooled.”

The camera panned right suddenly as one of the armored dragoons grabbed it and spoke directly into it.

“We want them to know we’re coming! Because we’re going to kill them all!! AHAHAHAH!!”

Another chorus of cheers and whoops came from the soldiers as the soldier let go of the camera and Reggie readjusted it. The anchors wanted to continue their questions when the leader of the dragoons shouted out and interrupted them.

“60 seconds!”

With the order given the soldiers stopped their foolery and began hefting their weapons. Reggie panned the camera over them as they slapped in fresh clips or attached power cables from their backpack generators to their more heavy weaponry.

In awestruck silence the anchors and their viewers watched as the assault shuttle slammed hard into the surface and the boarding ramp flew open.

“GO GO GO GO!!!!” the dragoon leader shouted as the soldiers poured out screaming their battle cries. Reggie waited and filmed them as they disembarked but did not join the first out the ramp. A inclination that saved him as enemy gun fire began raking the ramp striking several soldiers down in clouds of viscera and gore.

The censors barely had time to cut the feed while the horrified anchors composed themselves to resume the broadcast.

In the hours that followed IW6 confirmed that Reggie had survived the battle and had been with the unit of dragoons for the entire duration. During those hours he had recorded the entire engagement from ramp down, to storming city streets as the Intherax deployed building sized walkers, to the hoisting of the coalition flag over the central governing building at the heart of the city.

With this footage viewership numbers for IW6 skyrocketed overnight as none of the other networks had been able to capture such stunning footage. In fact, by the intake of broadcasts none of them had been able to attach an anchor or cameramen to the initial assault save for Reggie. When asked how he had been able to get approved for such a deployment he did not say which only further added to the mystery. Yet for the moment IW6 was far from ready to look a gift horse in the mouth.

Reggie’s footage was shown over and over on IW6 and was soon sublicensed to other networks and shown there. Exploits of the dragoons became known galaxy wide as Reggie followed them through battle after battle; never afraid to risk his life to capture the perfect moment.

When the Intherax fleet arrived in orbit and began to bombard the planet while also fighting the coalition fleet Reggie had forgone sheltering in nearby bunker complexes to film the orbital strikes as they hurtled down all around them.

Thick columns of pure energy shattered buildings and mountains alike as the ground quaked and there stood a lone Reggie filming it all. Even when the anchors begged him to find shelter he simply panned the camera over the city to show entire skyscrapers be reduced to molten mounds the oozed and sludged through the city streets.

By the time the battle had finally ended thanks to Reggie’s footage IW6 climbed the viewership charts to be the third most watched network galaxy wide. Much to the dismay of IW6 it also drew the attention of Reggie the cameraman to the other outlets who began showering him with ever more lavish offers for employment.

Too their surprise he denied them all and said that he was right where he belonged.

My unpublished HP fanfictions don't even follow canon but it would be still considered transphobic and racist act to publish it to any place, eventhough most of my OCs are queer, diverse from many countries, and often not even humans. I don't even use canon characters or ships.

I can try and leave out the conservative british empire elements, even changing the worldbuilding entirely, it would still be considered transphobic and racist.

See how crazy this is?

Not because Harry Potter story is shit, it's because the author is doing horrible things to real people.

JK Rowling really ruined it for all of us. For those who are actually affected by her. For those who only just wanted a safe place to hide from reality.

Good people can make good art.

Good people can make shitty art.

Shitty people can make good art.

Shitty people can make shitty art.

People have got to get more comfortable with the fact that people with despicable moral values can create good art

"But Harry Potter was always shit-"

No. No it wasn't. It may have had its flaws, but people liked it for a reason. It was popular for a reason.

So many times people find out that the creator of something they liked was awful and then they go and claim that it was never good in the first place.

I think it's pretty dangerous to get into the mindset of horrible people can't create good things, because then you can't spot those people, or then you can use the fact that they obviously created something wonderful to deny that they've done anything wrong.

It's reductive. And it's dangerous.
