I guess every holiday, quasi- or otherwise, gets commercialized eventually, but I still feel weirdly bummed about getting inundated with Galentine's Day marketing emails.
It was supposed to just be a chance to show the women in your life that you love and support them in a way that has nothing to do with romance. In a world where women are often boiled down to their worth in a relationship... idk, it felt nice. I know it was just a silly holiday from a tv show, but I liked it.
Now I'm getting marketing emails telling me to buy myself random bullshit for Galentine's Day and it's just like. sigh.
I guess even a silly holiday invented by a sitcom will become completely commercialized if corporations are given half a chance. They saw a chance to advertise to single people during VDay week and they were happy to jump on it. :(

this is your random reminder to CHECK IF YOU'RE STILL HAVING FUN
are you enjoying scrolling tumblr? watching youtube? reading that book? playing that game? drawing that art? doing that activity? if not,
YOU CAN STOP AND DO SOMETHING ELSE
you don't have to stick to something that you are doing for fun if it isn't fun for you anymore. You can come back! If you've loved it before you are likely to love it again! but you can stop!
Don't get stuck in a loop of doing something that you think should be fun when it isn't! You can put it down for a bit! Maybe that's the very thing that will make it fun again later!

gf fandom in 2016: if you so much as hint - even jokingly! - about the nature of ford and bill’s relationship being anything other than platonic (and even then you NEED to give a disclaimer that bill is manipulating him!) then you support abusive relationships
gf fandom in 2024:

I finally took the time to photograph my vintage dip pen nib collection, and I need to share with you all how wonderful and diverse their designs are.
These two are my favorite. Just look at them! One of them is named Gorille and the other Mephisto, but to me they're little pumpkins.
And of course you gotta love the Pinocchio nib. You get to write with the nose of a tiny guy! Just not something you get to do anymore.

im not particularly religious but i think it’s very cute that Trans Day of Visibility and Easter are on the same day this year :)
its no question that something like this could be triggering or upsetting to a number of queer ppl given the current sociopolitical climate, so i want everyone to remember that u are loved! Regardless of what u or others believe, there are ppl who will love and support you always. Give yourself patience and treat yourself with care!!!
happy and peaceful TDOV everyone!! And Easter to those who celebrate :D

They deserve to have a quiet moment for themselves (and Zuko is seriously questioning his taste in men)
