#not IN SPITE of it

[across-every-universe]

hey selfshippers who are self-conscious about your weight: you’re literally your f/o’s type. swear to god, they told me themself

if you admit to them you’re insecure about your body they’d just be like “?????? Love, I’m so glad you trust me enough to talk to me about stuff like that! But… I literally don’t see what’s wrong? You’re perfect?”

none of that “But baby I can look past your physical flaws because you’re a wonderful person and I love you for your personality!” BS in response HONEY NO! I mean they *do* love your personality BUT THEY ALSO THOUGHT YOUR BODY WAS PERFECT THE WHOLE TIME!

Can I just say how happy I am that we’re going to get Ed making friends with a bunny? Because that means he might finally get over his cruelty to animals (i.e. his worst quality that nearly stopped me from being an Ed fan).

In S1, we find out he made Fang kill his dog, we see him brutalize a snake, and we see him making a turtle and crab fight (only to later get their heads cut off). Him being kind to a bunny is actually a pretty significant step for him! Yay!

…Also the animal thing was standing in the way of Ed being a Disney princess, which you just know he could be otherwise…

Mildly annoyed that the number of deeply dubious takes I’ve seen recently have made me criticise the Fëanorians so much. I LOVE my poor tragic tortured murderers ok. They’re fascinating and complex and their fall from grace is so compelling to me. But let! them! be! complex! Let them be awful monstrous self-aware killers who can commit war crimes in the morning and then repent them bitterly in the afternoon! (This mostly applies to my two faves, of course. There’s no evidence the younger ones did much repenting.) Trying to justify their deeds just strips them of everything that makes them interesting as characters – like does “poor little meow meow” even mean anything to you??

I love to think that Aemond would be a fairly decent father by Westeros standards. He’d definitely be the type to take his children hiking or flying and just do field trips with them which would be considered unusual in their society

Yeah I’m headcanoning that one of Aemond’s love languages is quality time. It doesn’t always go as planned but I do think it would be important to him to actually be around his children and interact with their hobbies/interest. Sometimes it def gives Alicent in ep 6 when young Helaena is talking about bugs 😭😭 but at the end day he wants them to at least know he will be there regardless.

The twins pick up their mom’s interest in painting. Like sewing, singing.. all the hobbies of most ladies in the realm

And Gerald.. he’s just an odd little boy. But his father will be the first to hear him out!

to the "aros can still date! we can still feel love!" crowd - get well soon. the exclusionists will never accept you no matter how willing you are to throw the rest of us under the bus.

why do you need validation from people who hate you. why are you begging for scraps like a dog.

It's always "aros can still date!" "aros can still be in (any type of non-romantic or romantic) relationships!" "aros aren't heartless!" "aros can still love in different ways!"

Well, sure, you do you.

But not all of us. A lot of us are *completely* non-partnering. There's loveless aros. Aplatonic aros. Hell, even heartless is a label some aros use!

We don’t need to do anything to "replace" the romantic relationships we don’t have. People can be completely happy alone! Without a partner! (Shocking, I know!)

I'm just a bit tired of all the amatonormativity I still see under some of the trending aro-positivity posts...

cant tell you how bad it feels to constantly tell other artists to come to tumblr, because its the last good website that isn't fucked up by spoonfeeding algorithms and AI bullshit and isn't based around meaningless likes

just to watch that all fall apart in the last year or so and especially the last two weeks

there's nowhere good to go anymore for artists.

edit - a lot of people are saying the tags are important so actually, you'll look at my tags.

#please dont delete your accounts because of the AI crap. your art deserves more than being lost like that #if you have a good PC please glaze or nightshade it. if you dont or it doesnt work with your style (like mine) please start watermarking #use a plain-ish font. make it your username. if people can't google what your watermark says and find ur account its not a good watermark #it needs to be central in the image - NOT on the canvas edges - and put it in multiple places if you are compelled #please dont stop posting your art because of this shit. we just have to hope regulations will come slamming down on these shitheads#in the next year or two and you want to have accounts to come back to. the world Needs real art #if we all leave that just makes more room for these scam artists to fill in with their soulless recycled garbage #improvise adapt overcome. it sucks but it is what it is for the moment. safeguard yourself as best you can without making #years of art from thousands of artists lost media. the digital world and art is too temporary to hastily click a Delete button out of spite

This just in, fictional media doesn't exist in a vacuum and can actually reflect irl anxieties. Next at 6.

romanticise your body

your trans body

your disabled body

your fat body

love yourself in spite of it

the way you exist is amazing

The cult of...Danny Fenton?

So! Way back when Danny first moved into his new neighborhood in Gotham, he had some trouble controlling his Powers. The different Types and Levels of Ectoplasm in the air when compared to Amity had thrown off his control.

He was used to being in places where his Ectoplasm meshed well with the Atmosphere, like a Water Balloon in a Pool, but in Gotham that analogy would be closer to a Water Balloon in the sewers. It was too different from what he was used to to fully control his Powers.

So it's understandable that he messed up a few times and his neighbors found out about his Abilities.

They took it well at first, Danny wasn't going to go Rogues or anything, and he never used them maliciously, but eventually they got curious.

They asked what his limits were, how he got them in the first place, and what the hell the Ghost Zone was. The answers "None Really", "I died and was reborn", and "A Collective of every Afterlife at once" did spark some interesting reactions from them.

Most importantly, a few of them joked about him being an Eldritch God that they needed to worship. He was good enough friends with them that at that point they felt comfortable pranking eachother, so they did just that.

Danny woke up one day on his birthday, and saw all of his friends and neighbors surrounding the makeshift Throne they had made and put him on while he was asleep. The entire day they chanted stuff like "The Great One requires Ms. Smiths Apple Pie for his day of birth!" And "The Great One Wishes for us to sing the Ritual Song! Happy Birthday to You! Happy Birth-"

After his birthday, they kept up the joke.

It didn't help that his powers had evolved Again! And now he could bestow abilities onto his friends. The jokes they made about their God granting them Supernatural Powers to rule the world with were insufferable.

Then, one day while he was just resting at home, watching a movie on his TV, he felt a Pull at his Core. The same kind of Pull whenever he was being summoned. But why would they summon hi- Oh Shit! It's Mr Jenkins Party today! He was supposed to meet them at the Warehouse they used for special events an Hour Ago!

He quickly accepted the Summoning, but was met with a suprising sight. His Neighbors all tied up in a pile to his right, a spilled table of party food to his left, and right in front of him, Batman and his Family watching him with wary eyes.

Slowly, he opened his mouth. "...so, did you come for the party or..."

[alert-danger-queers]

Hey I don’t know you but I love you and I hope everything is still going well<3

I have a community now by the way

I have a healthy friend group , we laugh and talk, really talk, we hangout often

I go to a class monthly, I actually talk to and connect to people there

I go to therapy monthly to and my therapist is always so happy hearing about all the great progress I'm making

I'm learning that I'm wanted and loved and worth something because I'm weird not in spite of it

I'm letting go of so much shame and guilt I held for so long it almost became me

I'm talking to my parents more, real meaningful sometimes hard conversations, and it's never the end of the world

I'm eating better, and I don't mean dieting or traditionally "healthier" I mean I'm trying new foods, eating food that makes me happy, letting it make me happy, I'm eating more veggies cause they Taste good and I like them and not cause I have to

I'm taking care of myself and using my supports and taking medicine when I hurt instead of forcing myself to push through so much pain

I'm coming out and it's going so well and I feel like I can breathe finally

I'm not crying every single day anymore

And ya I know it won't always be this good

I know I'll always struggle with my health, physical and mental

I know there will be bad days and hard things to do

But I also know I'll make it through them, that I have people to lean on and I'll be ok

I wish me from like, a year ago could see me

We're making it, in a lot of ways we already have

You'd be so Proud of us

I know that Nintendo gets a lot of hate, but honestly, I think they should be hated even more.

[mcmissileproof]

favorite hobby when I'm driving is to catch someone trying to climb up my back bumper while I'm going a completely reasonable speed and just slowly take my foot off the gas. you seem upset, brother. why don't we slow down and enjoy the view awhile

My understanding of evil, age 0-10: MY NAME IS SMOG SMOKESLY AND I RUN THE POLLUTION FACTORY, IT PRODUCES POLLUTION!!! MUWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

My understanding of evil, in my teens: You can't really boil things down to good and evil. People are complicated. Everyone is the hero of their own story, and someone who seems evil to you is actually doing their best from their own perspective. If you could walk a mile in their shoes, you'd understand. There is no such thing as evil.

My understanding of evil, in my twenties: Look, it's basically just tribalism. We are all necessarily thrust into competition with one another. There are always going to be winners and losers. Whining about evil is just being upset that you lost the game.

My understanding of evil, in my thirties: MY NAME IS SMOG SMOKESLY AND I RUN THE POLLUTION FACTORY, IT PRODUCES POLLUTION!!! MUWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
