[asfdhgsdkjhgb]

so... what's your dnd character?? 👀

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! hehehehehehehe >:]]

my dnd character is named Astraya she is a wood elf paladin (oath of the ancients) and i am so so so interested in her as a character because firstly ive gotten to project some of my silly little mental illnesses onto her and also my DM offered a cool opportunity to me which i accepted so basically. she does not remember the majority of her life. and in turn, i don't know what she doesn't know. which is why i said im super excited to learn more abt her :]]

the world we're playing in is a fully homebrewed story and world and like,,,, weird shit keeps popping up or happening to my character like having weird little premonitions of an attack that happened or picking up a perfectly good apple and watching it rot in her hand,,,,,,,,,, oarufhgosdfhgldskjhgsdkg my brain has been so batshit about her recently im obsessed with her the campaign im in is very much my current hyperfixation and im sooooo not normal about all the weird shit going down.

theres something a bit fucked up about my character and i dont know what it is yet and she certainly doesnt know either when first making her my DM told me just straight up "she was told her parents died when she was very young and remembers very little of her life" and ive added some bits and bobs like she can vaguely remember bits of her adolescence like attending a small boarding school in a specific region and being a star student, a sort of general appreciation of nature (kind of inherent being a wood elf and also growing up in the region she did, which was heavily forested and ruled over by the nature god) also something very integral to her as a person and as a character is she is very distrustful of anyone in power (a big piece of the lore of our world is that there's two big "orders" that are key powers in the war happening, one is "evil" and one is "good") and a big part of her moral code is doing what is best for those around her and helping in any way she can, but she refuses to associate herself to the "good" big government structure because when you have a group with that much power theres no way to guarantee that their motives or pure or that they will always act in people's best interest (there has been a lot of political inter-party conflict recently because of trust vs distrust in the good guy order) but yeah all of that boils down to basically shes lawful good and has a severe distrust in authority <33

ough i have so many thoughts and feelings on her i love her so much shes my little homegrown blorbo and shes severely fucked up in a way that none of the party or even she herself can know or understand yet and

anyways

get a vpn i use mullvad it’s p cheap and just gives you an account number set it to switzerland theyve got nice solid privacy laws and arent part of the main surveillance agreements between the us and its allies (5 eyes, 9 eyes, or 14 eyes) opt out of everything the websites you visit give you the option to opt out of (bc of eu and swiss privacy laws p much every website will give you that option and breakdown clearly what info they wont let you opt out of and what theyll do with it) and install it on both your phone and computer

follow these instructions to keep google from harvesting and keeping your data. altho honestly they probably still keep that data so just avoid google when possible. on that note the google search alternative i use is startpage it uses google results but anonymizes your search bc lets be honest duck duck go kind of sucks and if a service is subpar youll probably just revert to the better one so. startpage.

use firefox google chrome is the devil why are you using google chrome. it’s terrible and you can easily import everything to firefox. clear your cookies frequently.

get rid of your alexa or google home or whatever you do not need it and dont buy one if you dont already have one. dont buy a doorbell cam and if you really need or want one definitely do not buy a Ring doorbell cam. dont buy anything you can avoid thats attached to the Internet Of Things. invite tech companies into your home as little as you possibly can

install ublock origin and privacy badger theyll block a lot of ads and trackers. also install the google analytics opt out extension which will prevent some of your activity from being reported back to google (it doesnt opt out of all google analytics functions tho)

install facebook container, twitter container, and amazon container. this will help prevent them from following you around the web at least a little. also stop visiting those sites as much as you can and uninstall their apps. this includes instagram which is rife with privacy issues. disable or uninstall as many google apps as you can and your phone will allow.

use signal for messaging (available on desktop and mobile and can be used for video, voice, and text/photo chat) and protonmail (choose the .ch domain name) for email. bc i am.....broke and dont really want to have another subscription so i can have two protonmail aliases i use a tutanota account (based in germany which is part of the 9 eyes) for random stuff i want to sign up for and protonmail for personal email.

stop using google news and flipboard they store everything you read and tailor your feed. i use inoreader for now which is an rss feed so you just subscribe to the news sources you trust but i am also searching for a better rss feed app with a good ui to use instead bc inoreader still collects user data, but they dont tailor your content at least.

theres not really a good alternative i know of for youtube but the best thing you can do there is remain aware of past and the latest right-wing dog-whistles so if you accidentally stumble on a shitty covertly alt-right video bc youtube is constantly pushing them, you can avoid that.

do not submit your dna to ancestry websites and vocally encourage your family members not to as much as you can.

im not a Tech person at all so all this is just the best i can do as a random person who doesnt want companies esp companies that notoriously cooperate with the us government given what we’re headed towards to have every tiny piece of my info.

read this article by a Tech Guy telling you all the information google and facebook have on you and some tips he has on how to delete or prevent it i might have forgotten which was the first thing to really properly scare the shit out of me about tech companies a couple years back. also this series about a journalist’s experience trying to avoid the big five tech companies for a week each and how mindblowingly difficult that was. in terms of documentaries lately ive watched the social dilemma (which was infuriating but had lots of interviews with Tech Guys who were formerly high up in many tech companies completely avoiding responsibility for their actions but also telling you all the shit they do) and the great hack about cambridge analytica. also thank you to user @crowleyraejepsen for being your friendly neighborhood librarian helping me do my bare minimum to protect my privacy

i know if anyone reads this massive rambling post theres gonna be a million people in my inbox with “well what if i NEED to do this or CANT avoid them for THIS REASON” and my answer is: then do it! why do you care about or want my approval! i know there are plenty of scenarios where these services are basically essential or unavoidable so just use them when you have to and avoid them when you dont. or do nothing! but be aware of the choice youre making at least

[whirlybirdwhat]

Hello, 'tis me, again, with more rambling Glasses or contact lenses to make eyes of df users less shiny sound legit as an existence, but I think? Most of them would be in world government hands. Similar to sea stone maybe, but potentially less Wano? Though they could be glasses made with sea stone dust or something, that could be interesting. I could also picture Dr Vegapunk inventing them. And while we're a vegapunk, didn't he also make weapons eat fruits? (1/?)

I think Vegapunk did. And remember two of those df weapons: Funkfried, the elephant sword of Spandam, and the bomb barking dog back in Alabasta (Mrs Christmas and Mr 4 I think). Which, technically, wow, cool thing that that works but also,,, how. And then: did they have to 'tame' the animal weapons after their creation? I mean dogs are good boys and elephants are gentle creatures, but still. Also, while I'm not sure how shiny eyes applies to weapon form, shiny elephant eyes are now a thing

Back with shiny eyes, on your right you can see the heavenly demon staying true to his name, because imagine Doflamingo sitting in a dark place, light flashes, eyes do their shiny thing, and he is cackling. That Is Some Supreme Creep. On that note, evenings with the doflamingo fam must have been generally heart attack inducing, too. So many df users. And family photos! I wonder if there are exorcists or something in the blues where df are not as well known as on the grand line. 

Another thing: Doflamjngo makes strong puppet copies of himself. Do they have the shiny eyes too? I mean, asking the law of physics, probably no, but whenever has one piece actually listened to laws of physics. Is he always wearing sunglasses to not always have the shiny eyes? Robin makes copies of herself too, as it's the whole thing of her df. I'd say they have all the shiny eyes. Also! Robin! Eldritch being confirmed, but also, with so many extra limbs and eyes, I could imagine 

- I could imagine that on one island she isn't looked at as potential eldritch horror, but maybe an angel, going with the old biblical angels of Too Many Eyes iirc. Bonus: everyone on Sabaody after 3D2Y must be new to grand line, overworked, or...dumb? bc how can anyone fall for the fake Luffy trap if he doesn't have shiny eyes? I think general marines may be overworked, bc new HQ in NW, more pirates bc of WB last words i guess. Doesnt excuse the pirates tho. Maybe they didnt see his eyes? - Minchen0897

------

HOLY FUCK IM SCREAMING this is all so good oh my gosh.

Anyway for the lenses - definitely Vega punk made the clear looking ones that alter the light, but I think that normal shades (so Doflamingo’s eyes) would also block it as well... but also Vegapunk becoming interested in the science of Df eaters hmmmmm many thoughts many thoughts many suspicions fgdhjsak

And yeah! DF weapons are the coolest! Theres the gundog and funkfreed, but Rakuyo, one of Whitebeard’s commanders, also has a flail that ate a devil fruit, (though the df isunconfirmed! )Pretty cool and it has like demon eyes, which imagining just this hunk of metal flying at you absolutely terrifying with it’s demon eyes I would cry its so cool. 

If they didn’t have visible eyes though... what if they just freaking glowed. Like working like tapetum lucidem in theory but without the actual science and just shined sense their whole ‘body’ is the eyes??? Idk food for thoughts.

Doflamingo is an awesome case because in canon we haven’t even seen his eyes - so picture this. those who interact with df users know about the shiny eyes - but they haven't seen mingos. They say he’s eaten the string fruit but are we sure? What if he’s lying? what if he’s truly a heavenly demon?  Rumors erupt adding to his fame 10/10 concept. 

His clones would have the shiny eyes if we could see them this is truth I say it now.

Eldritch being Robin going to a new island doing her usual thing expecting to be creeping ppl out but instead she’s revered and offered gifts and thank you and praises for the message she brings, and robins face has never smiled more she prefers this revered angel treatment a lot.

.... in theory though, could robin, if she had like a glowing ball, attach her eyes to it to make her look like one of those flaming hell angels? 

holy shit that would be cool.

AND AS FOR SABAODY! Here’s what im going with! I might have said this before to idk, the tag for all the posts should be devil fruit users have tapetum lucidum I think so maybe check that out. ANYWAY

Here’s the theory - shiny eyes are a rumor, nothing confirmed, one you only know if you have interacted with a df user in the right lighting. Sabaody’s far too bright for shiny eye science, however, most people don’t think its true in the first place -df users on pirate crews are common, but in modern islands? nah. 

God I love this shiny eyes offers much more world building to op im losing my shit I love receiving these

[jamiedodgerart]

if you're happy to tell us, i'd love to head more about ur inquisitor :00!! his debates with dorian sound fun

:DDD yeah sure! soz this is late

pica’s 1/6 of an inch tall

(im kidding. his name was originally a pun, but not a typography one - he’s a rehash of an old oc i had way back in the day, who was based off a magpie. hes actually on the short side for a dwarf, i want to say around 4′3″)

he was a lyrium smuggler before the inquisition, and specifically was the front man who sold it. he’s a champion liar and man of many faces, and knows how to disappear in plain sight (which is easy if you’re a dwarf and most law enforcement on the surface are humans. to a human guard dwarves all look the same and theyre too short to really get a good look at their faces). he had a pretty transient lifestyle- he didn’t get tied down, didn’t get too attached to anyone or anything, had pretty few posessions. he was 26 (or the dwarf equivalent of 26. hows dwarf aging work in dragon age anyway) when the carta got him to spy at the conclave, and you know how that went

look ok. the first half of his career as inquisitor was just. wingin’ it. no one really knew what the fuck he was supposed to be doing, least of all him, so he just pretended he knew what he was doing till, i wanna say the end of into the abyss. after talking to mal hawke some he learned that, hey, everyone’s always winging it, and also that his decisions kind of really mattered. (and that those decisions he makes can. kill people) for the first time in his life, he realizes hes actually important, and what he does changes things on the large scale

so after that, he got to thinking. the world kinda sucks. and it sucked before the war. and the leaders of thedas are really not doing all that much about it, except trying to kick each other in the nuts while their enemies are weak and completely forgetting that politics Cannot Survive as a practice if theres no farmers able to make food for diplomats to eat. so, orlais, if your farmland is all gunched up with battlefields, then you need to fix that, don’t you. but the inquisition is really, really good at providing stability! it’s good at establishing patrols, safe trade routes, providing local employment, and is a fairly reliable consumer of local goods. so pica capitalized on that, and quietly spread inquisition presence all over southern thedas. this led to immense inquisition influence, with very little fanfare.

you can guess why the rulers of thedas tried to get rid of him as soon after corypheus was taken care of as possible. they branded him a tyrant and like. ok. they werent like. super far off. bc at this point he was kinda trying to see how much of the world he could take over before anyone noticed/tried to stop him and also figured he could do like, a way better job at leading it than the current rulers could. and he wasnt beholden to anyone either (not like empress celene! elected to her throne by… uhhhhhhhhhhh divine providence or something. i mean shes doing an ok job but like i didnt vote for her) so if he really really wanted to he could go full dragon reborn

ive got off topic but point is he figures humans have had their go and they fucked it up, so it’s a dwarf’s turn and he’s going to put the world back together himself. (ps hey bioware can we have some dwarf stuff in the next game. im js. weve had a whole load of elf nonsense and its nice and all but dwarfs had a cool ancient society too yknow)

after trespasser he elects to keep the inquisition around, because he worked hard to make this glue keeping the bits of thedas stuck together and he’ll be damned if he’ll let solarse and his minions screw it up. but it gets nerfed heavily and hes pissed about it

he romanced cassandra! i really like their relationship- they look to each other for moral guidance. pica knows he can get flighty and relies on her to keep him in line, and always asks her for advice when he sees her in the courtyard. he usually doesn’t follow it but he feels it’s important to have her perspective on things

they disagree on a lot of stuff (like he made celene and briala co-leaders but she was in favor of gaspard) but he trusts her judgement, and supported her in becoming the divine

he’s a little weird about religion, specifically relating to the stone. the surfacer part of him that hates caves is like pff hippie garbage, but the bit that’s generations old and wants to belong to a larger whole of a culture is Super Into It. cole said he felt the stone’s presence around pica one time and externally he didnt react but internally he was yelling WHAT THE FUUUUUUUCKKKKKKKKKKKKK I LIVED IN SUCH PEACEFUL IGNORANCE I DIDNT NEED TO KNOW THAAAAAT and after the mythal thing hes like fuck believe what you want. whatever floats your boat. we live in a world where nugs have little people hands so if it comforts you to know a god did that then live your truth

re mages he figures theres a way better way for them to fit into society than the circle. its dumb. they can LIFT THINGS WITH THEIR MINDS. USE THAT FOR BUILDING. they can HEAL WOUNDS WITH THEIR MINDS. THEY CAN TALK TO SPIRITS AND SHIT THEY CAN PROBABLY FLY WHY ARENT WE USING THIS THEY’RE WASTED IN TOWERS LEARNING TO SHOOT FIREBALLS OR WHATEVER people who fear magic are cowards. chantry more like sham-try. 

hes big on research and development. he sent samson to dagna for research and in the au where mal lives he sent anders to her too. cos. like. dude COEXISTS WITH A SPIRIT. thats cool as SHIT how does it WORK. 

(im gonna make a post abt the mal lives au soon. its good)

hes largely responsible but he has also impulse bought at least three stuffed dragons. also, if the textiles technology were available, hed have dragon jammies. it’s the little things in life.

he collects notes he’s found talking about him and hangs them up by his desk. his favorite is the one samson wrote calling him a damnable rogue. he says hes doing things right, if he’s making people mad

hes trans! im not sure how thatd be regarded in dwarf society, in undergrounders i doubt it’d be very acceptable given their emphasis on reproduction, but house cadash has been on the surface for generations and has probably adopted more liberal views on lgbt stuff. either way hes not very open about it, and it’s really easy to pass when he’s around humans (i get the feeling dwarves and humans look for different things, when they’re trying to guess gender. for example hes got some beard scrub, which in human terms means male but in dwarven terms probably either means very young male or unkempt female) (the added implication to this is that varric might keep his beard to stubble so he looks younger) he met krem and had an instant Trans Solidarity moment, which also comes with the Trans Fear that the person Knows that you’re trans and could out you. it’s a weird kind of trust and for me feels like that one performance art piece with the people holding the bow and arrow. anyway hes cool w krem but doesnt talk to him all that much. theyve got pretty different interests.

his best friends are probs cole and dorian! he’s very curious, and likes to hear different perspectives on things. he and dorian often play chess and discuss all sorts of stuff. they end up yelling a lot because they both want to talk but the other started saying something before they were done with their point, which they started saying before the other was done with their point, and so on. he doesnt get very far in the slavery argument until hawke starts chillin at skyhold more regularly and can adequately school him on the state of tevinter slavery (fuck i gotta make a post about that. mal’s had a lot of development since i last talked about him)

he listens very seriously to cole’s observations. he can really appreciate the input of someone who watches so much more than speaks, and heartily supported his ventures in becoming more human.

he also gets along very well with josephine and likes to trick her into taking days off. hes also always down to chat w dagna and scout harding! and varric, of course. it’s always nice to talk to someone without having to crane his neck up at them all the time

(this is the reason he doesnt usually spend time w bull. hes just too tall and its uncomfortable knowing your face is at your friend’s dick height while ur trying to discuss battle strategy)

uhh trivia, at one point i thought i’d fucked up cassandra’s romance by not flirting with her enough so i meant to go for dorian’s instead, bc while i had wanted to romance cass since uhh i dunno one of my mutuals first reblogged a picture of her, i underestimated how charming and cool of a guy dorian ended up being. so in canon i say pica had a crush on both of them for a little while

its late and i think i got mostly everything so enjooooooy

as a parting gift, this is him

[cosimiah-blog]

might as well shut down the site it self because think about it, ban porn huh? ok we have games that have these...shooting cops in public, eatting humans that are alive, rape, you even have people cutting them into pieces then put them in bags just to rob something and yet porn is not ok? anyone see the problem here? humans is sadly starting to devolve faster then you can think, i do watch porn but only to enjoy my self it helps when it comes to the fact i can’t just go to bed and sleep i need it to sleep and tbh people have businesses with this they tell people their new game patch (porn one) with even patch notes your basically killing millions of businesses...in all honestly human beings might not live long if we keep this type of shit up and to be honest if some kid happens to see porn wouldn’t it be the parents fault in this? why didn’t they stop the kid why didn’t they ground/take the phone away and punish...i mean god damn people the avg age anyone knows about sex is 6 years old you can thank the evolving DNA in that u can’t stop humans from learning about something they dont know...or u might as well tell every scientists to go fuck them selfs and stop researching hell might as well tell the people who are looking for a cure for cancer to stop this is just about the same as to what is happening with this bullshit on nudity ban laws u know your basically making fun of people who can’t wear cloths due to they will die if they wear it mainly cuz of allergies theres some people who can’t wear cloths and u never know actions like these might make them feel hurt ever thought of that? because their realizing humans are telling people who have these types of things to go fuck them selfs i strongly disagree with this fucking war against nude people if they wanna be naked let them fuck what everyone thinks this is FREEDOM everyone fought wars to have peace and to be free these types of rules show how humans are basically prisons for everyone humans are doing nothing but adding more laws against something that removes more and more and more freedom whats not...not allowed physical connects in relationship? maybe no touching at all? or hell let’s have a new law against eye contact and anyone who looks at someone will be put to death how about that? makes more sense with the crap that goes on i said what most be side...

A better, more positive Tumblr

Since its founding in 2007, Tumblr has always been a place for wide open, creative self-expression at the heart of community and culture. To borrow from our founder David Karp, we’re proud to have inspired a generation of artists, writers, creators, curators, and crusaders to redefine our culture and to help empower individuality.

Over the past several months, and inspired by our storied past, we’ve given serious thought to who we want to be to our community moving forward and have been hard at work laying the foundation for a better Tumblr. We’ve realized that in order to continue to fulfill our promise and place in culture, especially as it evolves, we must change. Some of that change began with fostering more constructive dialogue among our community members. Today, we’re taking another step by no longer allowing adult content, including explicit sexual content and nudity (with some exceptions).  

Let’s first be unequivocal about something that should not be confused with today’s policy change: posting anything that is harmful to minors, including child pornography, is abhorrent and has no place in our community. We’ve always had and always will have a zero tolerance policy for this type of content. To this end, we continuously invest in the enforcement of this policy, including industry-standard machine monitoring, a growing team of human moderators, and user tools that make it easy to report abuse. We also closely partner with the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children and the Internet Watch Foundation, two invaluable organizations at the forefront of protecting our children from abuse, and through these partnerships we report violations of this policy to law enforcement authorities. We can never prevent all bad actors from attempting to abuse our platform, but we make it our highest priority to keep the community as safe as possible.

So what is changing?

Posts that contain adult content will no longer be allowed on Tumblr, and we’ve updated our Community Guidelines to reflect this policy change. We recognize Tumblr is also a place to speak freely about topics like art, sex positivity, your relationships, your sexuality, and your personal journey. We want to make sure that we continue to foster this type of diversity of expression in the community, so our new policy strives to strike a balance.

Why are we doing this?

It is our continued, humble aspiration that Tumblr be a safe place for creative expression, self-discovery, and a deep sense of community. As Tumblr continues to grow and evolve, and our understanding of our impact on our world becomes clearer, we have a responsibility to consider that impact across different age groups, demographics, cultures, and mindsets. We spent considerable time weighing the pros and cons of expression in the community that includes adult content. In doing so, it became clear that without this content we have the opportunity to create a place where more people feel comfortable expressing themselves.

Bottom line: There are no shortage of sites on the internet that feature adult content. We will leave it to them and focus our efforts on creating the most welcoming environment possible for our community.

So what’s next?

Starting December 17, 2018, we will begin enforcing this new policy. Community members with content that is no longer permitted on Tumblr will get a heads up from us in advance and steps they can take to appeal or preserve their content outside the community if they so choose. All changes won’t happen overnight as something of this complexity takes time.

Another thing, filtering this type of content versus say, a political protest with nudity or the statue of David, is not simple at scale. We’re relying on automated tools to identify adult content and humans to help train and keep our systems in check. We know there will be mistakes, but we’ve done our best to create and enforce a policy that acknowledges the breadth of expression we see in the community.

Most importantly, we’re going to be as transparent as possible with you about the decisions we’re making and resources available to you, including more detailed information, product enhancements, and more content moderators to interface directly with the community and content.

Like you, we love Tumblr and what it’s come to mean for millions of people around the world. Our actions are out of love and hope for our community. We won’t always get this right, especially in the beginning, but we are determined to make your experience a positive one.

Jimon + drawing

fuck yea this shits cute as hell

okay so theyr both in college at NYU simons a music major obvi and jace is on the education track bc he wants to be a teacher (fuck you i can do what i want)

one of the classes that everyone has to take for gen ed is just a regular history class from like after the civ war onwards (ive never been to college dont sue me)

but the thing about that class is that the teachers like 10 million years old hes really fat and kinda racist but they have to take the class so they just ignore him most of the time

on the first day of the class jace and simon sit next to eachother they dont really ever talk except for once when jace asked for a pencil and simon nearly died

did i mention that simon maybe sorta has a massive fucking crush on the blondie that sits next to him in history? no? because he does and its really starting to piss him off that he hasnt made a fucking move yet because hes just a tad bit awkward when it comes to stuff like that but w/e simon sits next to him and just tries to breathe normally for an hour which…..harder than it sounds

anyways one day in november the teachers droning on abt some fucking law that was passed in the 1850′s and simon honestly wants to die rather than sit through another fucin second of this but he cant just like get up so he starts doodling in the corner of his notebook and drawing the teacher in front of a bunch of ppl and all of them either sleeping or dead because same

suddenly he hears like a little laugh from his left and when he looks at whatever it was he’s like 80% sure that his heart stopped beating for about thirty seconds but that’s besides the point because jace is looking at him?? and he’s SMILLING? (simon wasnt sure that he was capable of smiling since hes just got that fucking smirk on his face all the time anyways)

simon’s pretty sure that he looks like an idiot staring at jace with his bug eyes and mouth slightly hangng open so he like whips back to his notebook and furiously ignores the burning in his cheeks

hes still trying to get his heart started again when someone slips a piece of paper right in front of him.

he swallows hard and unfolds it

“dude thats the most relateable drawing ive ever seen nice” and a little person that looks suspiciously like jace falling asleep on a desk

fuck

after that class they dont really start talking but it becomes like,,, a thing they do? simon will draw something and slip it to jace and then jace will slip it back with another thing added and they’ll just do that for the whole class

simon….simon starts to actually look forward to that class because he likes whatever he has with jace he just really wishes that it could be more but he’ll take what he can get

but the semesters ending and the class is only a semester long so he wont see jace after this and that makes him sad so he tries to not think about it

(hes really bad at that.)

so the class before they take their final something weird happens

when simon passes his paper to jace (a little person ripping his hair out because finals)

jace doesnt pass it back

and you know simon was expecting this to happen at some point or another so he tries to not let it affect him

but it does

so simon spends the rest of that class trying not to be disappointed and justr focus on the lecture but he cant and it just really fucking stings

but at the very end of the class, like 5 minutes before they’re released

jace passes him the paper back

the only thing thats on the paper is simons drawing

and jace added another guy thats doing sorta the same thing but theres an arrow to flip it over so simon does

“it seems like you’re hella stressed for finals. wanna get coffee?” and then a number

simon looks over at jace to see him smiling back hopefully

(because jace also had a crush on simon ever since that first day he drew that stupid fucking thing and its taken him way too long to ask him out and honestly hes quite embarrased but)

simon nods with a smile and then mouths “took you long enough”

jace smile gets wider and they both leave the class feeling a lot better than they did going in

they date all the way through college

for a wedding present, simon gives jace a book of all of their drawings and ends it with the one that he used to ask him out

jace never lets it leave his bedside table

Saved|| Andromeda & Sirius || Dec.20 ‘70

The snow was just starting to fall outside the large mansion house in the middle of the countryside. A huge, extravagant Christmas tree, decorated especially for the occasion filled the entire main foyer. It would have been a quiet evening, perfect for a book by the fire, if not for the party happening. 

The Blacks annual Christmas party was well underway, being hosted by a distant third cousin- twice removed, in their luxurious country vila. Carols were playing and the champagne flutes were being passed around. Some couples had started to dance on the floor to the sounds of a lively piano as the girls played. 

Sirius had found a fairly quiet corner, after having been dragged downstairs by mum, from where he’d been playing pogs with a cousin. 

“You need to socialize. You can’t go around hiding in the middle of a party. now go talk to your relatives and find your father.” She said sharply, pulling at his hair and sighing as she gave up. 

“I thought I told you to wear the red shirt.” She hissed, pushing him back into the main room. Sirius let out an audible groan at the sight of all the boring old people, getting a glare from his mother. He shut right up and found a comfy armrest, grabbing a glass of champagne on his way. No one would tell him otherwise. 

As soon as he found his spot it seemed like flies to honey, his weird uncle came calling. 

“Sirius! Come say hello!” He called over, obviously slightly intoxicated already. “Your father was just telling me about your spot on the Quiddich team. How’s the green doing this year, you leading ‘em to victory yet.”

For the ten billionth time, he reminded his family that he did in fact belong to the Gryffindor house. The conversation turned boring really fast. Sirius finished his champagne in under a minute and cursed himself that he hadn’t kept some to sip on to keep himself awake.

Does he think I care about his son’s business? Why does it sound like he’s trying to sell me a chair? I wonder if I get up right now and just walk away- nah shit, mums right there… Maybe I could get another glass? He knows theres a speck of green in his teeth right? God stop talking you stupid oaf.

“Oh yes yes I completely agree,” his aunt cooed, sucking up to the man. “What do you think about that SIrius?���

“Uh..” Sirius nodded, “Oh yes,” he said very enthusiastically (unbeknownst to them, with heavy sarcasm). “I completely agree.” he nodded, playing along. 

“I was wondering how to get them outta my garden when I realized- You just pay their child support!” The group burst out laughing. Sirius’ nervous laughter died away, wait what? 

“You see I have exactly the same problem!” A woman agreed, trying to interject herself into the conversation. 

Wow, that is one very big hat.

"Annnnnd I told Winston," she patted her husbands forearm, as he zoned out with his whiskey. 

"Huh? Oh yes." The man nodded. 

"I told him right before we left to Italy, and he didn't listen. And they stole his wallet, right off him!" The listeners gasped at such an exciting story. The woman revelled in the attention.

Sirius sat there, what are they talking about? 

"And you know me Col, I love muggles. I worked with them practically everyday for the last 20 years." 

"Yah well you have the patience of a saint." 

"Back then maybe. Couldn't do it now. The amount of times I would get calls from them, oh Merlin, asking for the craziest things. Really darling, but I swear they don't know how to take care of their kids. They don't parent." She stated as fact. 

 "Well that's why I always get balls through in my window!”

Haha he said ‘balls.’

“And Mikey got run over the other day by a car- got their driving permit in a chocolate frog box?" Laughter. "Well their system is a lot different. Culturally, we can't really expect them to follow normal rules. It's just impossible for them. Rules and laws don't carry any weight." 

"It's respect. They don't respect their elders and their parents don't discipline...”

“Then they end up calling us and we pay for their children on welfare. And the alcohol and the drugs, gosh!" 

 Sirius' eyes had begun to glaze over. A record three minutes before the muggle bashing had begun. 

"I told Tish that she could bring home a muggle boy, and you shoulda seen Howard. Oh Merlin! He nearly fell off the chair.” More laughter. “But you know, she has her eyes on other prospects-" the group went quiet and the eyes shifted to the young Black, who was currently staring at Aunt Helen trying to get her far arse up outta the seat. He burst out a laugh, which looked quite random to the eyes that were all watching him. He stopped finally and turned, realizing everyone who had been talking had suddenly stopped. He might as well have been picking his nose.

“Darling, come away from that piano and sit with mummy,” the woman called to Tish, a horrid looking girl. “Oh she just loves to play piano, can barely take her away from it! Did you just hear her play, she learned that piece in under a day! Sirius, do you play?” The woman’s hand was still waving in the air for her daughter to come join them.

“Uhhh..” Sirius looked like he wanted someone to shoot him. “No.” He said flatly.

“Man of few words!” His uncle laughed and pinched the back of his neck roughly. Sirius flinched away. 

“Tell them Tish, what you want to do this summer?” His aunt looked at him intently to make sure he was listening. Sirius tried not to roll his eyes and instead focused on the large pimple on Tish’s nose. 

“Well me and daddy were in the shop the other day and I saw this little girl and it like just inspired me. I’m gunna work with muggles, because like, everyone needs help and like who better to give it to them then us. Sometimes they just need to be saved.” 

“Brava! Not many young girls would volunteer with muggles. Thats so dangerous, you're so brave!” 

Sirius gave a snort. His smirk was spreading faster then herpies in the Hufflepuff house and he had to look at Tish, “wow. That’s pretty rad Tish.” he said as best he could. 

The girl giggled, “thanks. Like its the children I’m most worried about, yah know? They live such sad lives, if just wanna bring them some joy.”

Sirius nodded, his face feigning like he was getting her on a deep emotional level (fully sarcastic, though they wouldn't know that). “Mmmhmm oh yah, I understand.” he added. 

“Or we could just kill them all and call it a day.” he said flatly. His face was serious, as he deadpanned their shocked faces.

The acclaimed showrunner/director behind ‘Buffy the Vampire Slayer’ and ‘The Avengers’ on his Save the Day PAC designed to get young people out to vote��against Trump. ">

Joss Whedon has always been with her, so to speak. On top of being raised by a hard-core feminist, he was bullied relentlessly during his formative yearsthe sorry plight of the androgynous ginger kidand thus identifies with the helpless, the disenfranchised.

He attended Wesleyan University, a bastion of feminism (Michael Bay be damned), and his first writing gig was for the woman-fronted sitcom Roseanne. Heck, his dad was a staff writer for The Golden Girls.

It should come as no surprise, then, that Whedon has long harbored a predilection for female protagonists, from the titular ass-kicker in Buffy the Vampire Slayer to The Avengers Black Widow. And now, the filmmaker is doing everything in his power to help another intrepid, resilient woman triumph against the forces of toxic masculinity: Hillary Clinton.

Its fitting that instead of facing off against a man, she is facing off against maleness, says Whedon. She is campaigning against the male idall the worst of toxic masculinity in this country. This huge fart, this empty skin thats filled with gaseous hate, is a kind of Halloween monster of man.

The Halloween monster of a man hes describing is, of course, Donald J. Trumpa real-estate heir turned punchline-happy reality-show host turned Republican nominee for president of the United States. Whedon recently launched the super PAC Save the Day in order to encourage people, particularly the young and impressionable, to register to vote. And make no mistake about it: They want these registrants to vote against the orange guy with the tiny hands.

Save the Day kicked things off with a bang. Its first PSA featured stars like Robert Downey Jr., Scarlett Johansson, Don Cheadle, Julianne Moore, and Mark Ruffalo urging American citizens to register to vote, with wry self-deprecation and the promise of a nude Bruce Banner. Its since gone viral, garnering 7.5 million YouTube views and counting.

Whedon was inspired to start the anti-Trump PAC through a combination of what he calls angry writers syndrome and the Democratic National Convention, where, following the hacking of Democratic National Committee emails, many Bernie Sanders supporters believed the party conspired against their candidate.

They were so fractious, recalls Whedon. Before Michelle Obama spoke and made everybody feel better, the Bernie bros were yelling, Lock her up! and I thought, Oh my godwe could hand Trump this fucking election if we dont get our shit together. So I thought, well, Ive never had the means to do this and the time, but I do now, and therefore I have an obligation to. As late in the game as it is, Im just putting the pedal to the metal.

Since its Sept. 21 launch, Save the Day has produced eight shorts, the most recent of which is The Youth, a cheeky piece featuring comedians Bill Hader and Nicole Byer that pokes fun at how adults tend to pander to millennials by trying to speak their language. All it took for Whedon to secure all the stars for his PSAs was to askas well as a little help from his talent agency, CAA. Nobody said no, says Whedon. Everyone who we were able to get ahold of was game.

The 52-year-old filmmaker is not just an acclaimed TV showrunner and filmmaker, but also a total news junkie. Whedons first celebrity autograph came from John Chancellor, the longtime NBC Nightly News anchor. He and his mother watched him every night.

Trumps frequent criticisms of the mediathat its rigged against him and doesnt give him a fair shakeseem particularly ridiculous to Whedon, given that the blustering presidential candidate, who was caught on tape bragging about sexual assault (and was subsequently accused of sexual assault or harassment by 11 women), is best pals with CNN boss Jeff Zucker, who keeps a framed Trump tweet in his office, and has been propped up by the gossip rags and cable news channels for decades. This is a guy who used to masquerade as a publicist named John Miller in order to brag about his sexual conquests to the tabloids.

All his criticism of the media is incredibly hypocritical, self-serving, and unreal. He is a creation of the media, says Whedon. The only person whos ever really come out against him is him. All these mean ads hes complaining about from Hillary are just him talking. And they wouldnt put Bernie on the air, and they air him and his rallies for hours every day. The media has helped him at every step, and they let him play the part of the crass, lovable rich-guy figure. Well, it turns out hes not fucking lovable! And the person who revealed that was him. The least interesting thing about the rise of Donald Trump is Donald Trump, he continues. Whats great is, A) the hypocrisy that the GOP has descended into is being exposed by their Frankenstein creation, and B) conversations about race, immigration, sexism, and misogyny that were not taking place have begun to take place on a national scale, which is great.

One of the more prophetic Save the Day videos was Fraud Squad, a bit about a team of voter-fraud investigators (played by Minka Kelly and Anders Holm) who are left with nothing to do because, well, voter fraud is by and large a myth. A 2014 study found that out of approximately one billion ballots cast between 2000-2014, there were only 31 incidents of possible voter fraud. So Trumps incessant whining that the election is rigged against him due to widespread voter fraud is not only falseits dangerous.

That scares me honestly more than anything else hes ever said, claims Whedon. We made this video months ago, and the voter-fraud thing was very much about people paying attention to who was really trying to make voting difficult. We made this before Trump started saying, Lets monitor the polls and make sure no ones getting in who shouldnt. Thats terrifying as well. I almost changed the script to reflect that. But the fact of the matter is voter fraud is a GOP creationthat they can disenfranchise the poor and people of color.

Whedon is referring to North Carolinas Republican-pushed voter-ID laws, which were recently found by a federal appeals panel to be the most restrictive voting law North Carolina has seen since the era of Jim Crow that targeted African Americans with almost surgical precision who largely voted Democrat.

They say elections are rigged to distract people from the fact that theyre rigging them, says Whedon.

While Whedon acknowledges that the rise of Trump and his army of acolytes isnt due to just racism in people, and that theres a sense anger and fear about the economy and the way the world is changing, he also believes the GOP has been sowing these seeds for yearsfrom the Southern strategy all the way to the birther movement.

Honestly, my favorite thing about all this was what they said on Saturday Night Live when they were doing Romney, says Whedon. He said, We in the GOP we do not say racist and sexist things; we imply them subtly over decades and decades of policy. So theyve been sowing these seeds, and then theyre like, Hey! Where did this guy come from?!

[Mike] Pence is just terrifying. I think Trump picked him because nobody would ever assassinate Trump. It would be the worst thing that could happen, he adds of Trumps incredibly homophobic running mate. People forget that the GOP fell out with Trump because he wasnt conservative enough. Forget the fact that hes just a racist, sexist horror whos trying to incite violence in order to clinch his bid for power, there are people here who are running for office who are worse. They really lost touch with their constituency. They went to the fringes and found the dreck of political humanity.

Whedon has been a Hillary Clinton supporter for quite some time, and thinks the unflappable former first lady, senator, and secretary of State is just the person to defeat Trump come Nov. 8.

Shes fought longer and harder against very unfair odds than anybody I have seen, he says. I do think she has a real chance of slaying what is an actual beastand then she can spend the next eight years dealing with amazing misogynist obstructionism, the way Obama got to do with eight years of amazing racist obstructionism.
