I really feel like last anon mentioning the "Neil isn't canon demi" post heavily summarized and left out the entire spirit of the that post? Pretty sure they were mentioning this post by djhedy, no obligation for you to even look at this or read it obviously I'm just a bit bothered by how they presented the whole thing so I wanted to give you the opportunity if you wanted.

https://djhedy.tumblr.com/post/657498572824150016/what-is-canon-and-whether-we-should-respect-it-a

thank you for sending me the link! that’s really kind of you and i appreciate the effort! i am currently with my extented family which i haven’t seen in a year so i don’t have much time to analysis this post or read it thoroughly but i skimmed through it and i still stand by what i said in my post that summaried the og post. doesn’t change my view on what is canon in the slightest. and the comparison with the gay dumbledore clusterfuck is questionable imo. it’s like comparing apples to oranges and i vehemently disagree with it. but i got an ask about that comparsion too so i’ll go more into it when i answer that one later tonight. it will be a couple of hours tho probably. but op of the og post is right that what is canon probably depends on who you ask. even when you share the definition that ‘canon is what’s in the text’ like me and op. i mean i have the same definition i just lay i out differently.

#again thank you for taking the time to search it and send it to me #i’m sure some of my followers are happy to see the og post too!!#i’m gonna go to the lake and chill in nature with my family for a couple of hours #and maybe i’ll have time to answer it later in the day or before i go to bed #it’s not much i have to say except you can’t compare neil being demi with dumbledore being gay bc the textual evidence for these things is #completely different #and not comparable if you say ‘canon is what’s in the text’#anon #answer #some thoughts on the og post:#some points make sense but it’s a little too black and white in some parts. it acts as if canon is completely fixed and inference is not #canon at all #but then canon is super limited if you #exclude everything that isn’t literally standing in the text word for word….#but i agree with the notion of things being up for interpretation #i believe in the possible existence of multiple canons if the text allows it. some texts do others don’t #not everything needs to have ome clear and definite answers there can be multiple #but that’s all in the answer to the anon talking about the og post #neil discourse

I am absolutely speechless. Seriously, I’m sitting here with my hands over the keyboard trying to figure out what to type! I can’t express to you just how much it means to me to receive these awards. I am so honored to be recognized by my fellow bloggers. All of you are so wonderful and talented, so, to be recognized like this is truly awesome. Thank you so much!!!

Before we continue with the awards, I wanted to find a way to say thank you to my nominators as well as each and every person who reads my blogs. You all know how much I like sharing videos. So as my way of saying thank you, I found a wonderfully touching song and video called “Grateful: a love song to the word.” By: Empty Hands Music, which is a non-profit organization. Empty Hands Music creates free music as a gift to the world. Here’s a bit about them:

Empty Hands Music’s mission: is to spread seeds of goodness in the world through selfless service, music, and love. All of Empty Hands Music’s offerings are gifts to the world. Empty Hands is a 501c3 US-based Non-Profit, 100% Gift offering with an intention to spread seeds of goodness through its music, events & sharings all across the world, as well as through its grassroots, arts-based service work from the Gandhi Ashram, for underprivileged children in the slums of Ahmedabad, Gujarat, India.

They are an amazing organization. As you watch the video, you’ll see a link, where you can download their 10 song album for free. I hope you watch and enjoy the song before reading on. It is truly a lovely and touching song. You can almost feel the love and gratefulness emanating from the video. (video is 4:57). I’d love to hear your thoughts! ENJOY! THANK YOU EVERYONE!!!!!

Ok, on with the show!! (This will be a bit long, I’ll try to keep it brief!-bare with me)

This award was created by Okoto Enigma to give unseen bloggers a chance to show yourself a world.

Knowing where it came from and why it was started makes me humbled and honored to have been chosen by two of my favorite bloggers. The first person to nominate me was Smiling Dreamer , who is a teenager from Egypt, known for her witty writing and creative use of GIF’s in her blogs. Here’s what she says about herself:

Hey There! I’m Smiling Dreamer – a teen just like any other who comes from Egypt. It feels like that I’ve been forever thinking of the possibility of creating my own blog…and here I am! Just so you know, this isn’t a topic-wise blog. I’ll be writing about everything & anything – but I’ll promise it’d be interesting

And she has kept her promise. Every blog she writes is interesting and fun to read. She recently took a week off for exams and I can honestly say, I missed reading her blogs. No matter how bad my mood is, she always makes me smile. You absolutely need to check out her blog! So, Smiling Dreamer these GIF’s are in honor of you! THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!!!

The second phenomenal blogger to nominate me for this award is Dinosaurs, Donkeys and MS. She is a 27 year old actor and teacher from England. She creatively uses Dizzy the Donkey to talk about being diagnosed and living with Multiple Sclerosis. She posts information about MS, her struggles with MS, recipes, relaxation and exercising info. Here’s a bit about Dizzy:

You may have guessed that I love donkeys and dinosaurs from my pictures. 🙂 I’m really not a fan of having photos taken of myself but I love photos and want to include some from my different MS adventures, so that’s why Dizzy has found himself apart of it. Dizziness is also the MS symptom that I struggle with the most and as my blog is about my life with MS it seemed appropriate to call him Dizzy.

She is an amazing writer with many wonderful posts. I love the recipes she includes in her blogs, anything from kale chips to vegan cheesecake. Her posts on dealing with MS contain great and helpful information. She discusses things such coping with anxiety, and dealing with denial. You MUST check her out!! Dinosaurs, Donkeys and MS THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!!!!

Blogger Recognition Award

RULES!

Thank the blogger who nominated you and provide a link to their blog.

Write a post to show your award.

Give a brief story of how your blog started.

Give two pieces of advice to new bloggers.

Select 15 other bloggers you want to give this award to.

Comment on each blog and let them know you have nominated them & provide the link to the post you created.-In other words-let them know they’ve been nominated

This was another double nomination. The first blogger to nominate me is Lean Sixteen. Lean Sixteen is written by Emma, a 16 year old fitness and foodie fanatic. With her concern about nutrition and fitness, and being only 16, Emma has a somewhat unique viewpoint from most people her age. Here is a bit from her on why she blogs:

I have started this blog to share what I have learned when it comes to fitness, food and just about all else. This blog is dedicated to making healthier and happier easy! From workouts, recipes, sportswear advice and how too’s, I hope this blog has something that helps you…

If you are interested in anything related to fitness and health, you should check out Emma’s blog. She has a clear and descriptive writing style, that brings you right into her articles. These articles include topics from fitness fashion and ways to stay fit, to healthy meal plans and shopping carts. Absolutely check her out. Emma– THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE NOMINATION!!

The second person to nominate me was DINOSAURS, DONKEYS AND MS. I am so extremely grateful for your kindness. It means so much to me that you have nominated me for these awards.

Give a brief story of how your blog started.–I started this blog the summer of 2015, when I wrote my first blog. I started it just prior to beginning work on my MS in holistic nutrition. However, I was so scared to write any more, that I waited almost 1 1/2 to write my second blog. But, I’m so glad I did. I absolutely found my new passion. I just love writing and blogging.

Give two pieces of advice to new bloggers

Network with other bloggers.-This is so important. You can’t just post a blog and sit back and wait for people to find you. A few may trickle in this way, but, not many. If you really want your blog to grow, you need to get out there. FOLLOW OTHERS-they’ll be more likely to follow you. LIKE and COMMENT ON OTHER ARTICLES- This helps support the other bloggers and will also get you noticed. REBLOG/REPOST-There is no better way to support others than to reblog/repost their content. Once again, it helps you AND them. It’s a win-win

BE YOURSELF!!!!!!!!!!- I seriously can’t stress this enough. You will automatically stand out if you are yourself. I’ve said it before, but it bares repeating: you are the only you in the entire universe. You don’t get any more unique than that. Part of why I love blogging so much is I get to be myself. It’s a BLAST! In so many other parts of my life, I don’t feel as if I can truly be myself. But, when I blog I can. Your blog will start to stand out for it’s uniqueness if you are TRULY and ABSOLUTELY YOURSELF.
