I didn’t wanna leave you hanging so I whipped up Snail Pope. He’s protected from the sun so he does not sparkle and worry the humans.

This is the first time checking Tumblr today I think, so I only just now saw it!

Snope?🙏

Snail Vatican....I love the idea that only the sparkling keeps people from figuring out he's a snailpire😂😂

So.....⬇️

Therefore, I think we've figured out a big kept secret:

Or worse:

💋😂

Imagine a world where all of the TW characters were given time and space to unpack their trauma. Where we saw Scott and Derek actually get to bond over how Peter hurt them both, how Isaac and Stiles could relate to seeing a parent become someone they no longer recognized. Just. Imagine.

the fact derek hale was never allowed to talk about his trauma will forever make sad, frustrated and angry. he is probably one of the most traumatized characters to grace television but he's not allowed to acknowledge any of it.

the other day, on the teen wolf sub reddit (believe i know. it's a sickness that i keep going back) i talked about how it bothered me how it is peter and jennifer that get to talk about paige. in visionary, peter is telling a story. paige isn't really a person to him and we know there is no way what peter tells stiles and cora is the whole truth. for her part, jennifer has mythologized paige's death and almost sanctified derek for committing the virgin sacrifice that allowed the nemeton to have enough power to save her when kali left her for dead. it's partly why she's so obsessed with him. in a twisted way derek saved her so paige is just a means to an end.

meanwhile derek doesn't even get to so much as say her name or confirm the real story when he was the one who had a relationship with paige. he is the one who knew her as a person, loved her and mourned her. .

someone in response to my saying that was like yeah well derek's not just gonna talk about his trauma. he's not that kind of guy.

and i'm like why not? characters suffering is not the only interesting way to tell a story.

if derek's story was to eventually evolve than that could've been part of it. opening up and healing.

imagine how powerful it would've been if derek was able to reach out to scott in the wake of allison's death and be able to tell scott about paige, that he understood all to well what scott was going through. imagine how much character growth that would've been for the both of them. derek finally able to reach out to someone emotionally and for scott to reach back finally able to set aside his issues with derek to see him as a person.

the missed opportunity that was cora hale. we could've learned about talia and laura and pre-fire peter via a couple of conversations between her and derek. there wasn't even a proper reunion between the two. (the fact most of our information about talia hale comes from gerard fucking argent still pisses me off).

malia was also a missed opportunity. derek had what? maybe one real scene with her? malia's character development should've been related to her reconnecting with her father, readjusting to being human and her figuring out what it means to be a hale by blood and what that legacy meant to her. not putting her immediately into a romantic relationship with stiles. derek could've factored into that. specifically regarding loss and guilt.

like derek finding out he had a cousin and malia finding out that just because she doesn't really care for peter doesn't mean there aren't other hales she can possibly have a relationship with.

isaac and stiles being bitchy to each other is fun but it's jealousy based due to scott. i think they could've overcome this eventually. imagine them hating theo together???? beautiful.

scott and isaac. i love them. adore them. but i will forever be pressed about that scene where scott throws isaac into a wall. like, fuck off. it was weirdly out of character for scott. instead of all the stuff about allison they could've talked about their dads. scott weirdly doesn't talk much about rafael and that bothers me because rafael mccall needed to be read for fucking filth (i am a child of an alcoholic so this may be a me thing). like we saw how much stiles hated rafael mccall. it would've been interesting for isaac (who was living with scott and melissa) to in turn be protective of him.

we had a whole episode of kira having a life changing field trip with derek and i wanted more that okay. that was a dynamic we needed more of.

i maintain lydia and derek's relationship would've been like two reality show judges. two beautiful people dealing with a world of plebs. lydia martin making derek hale have a spa day was a missed opportunity.

jordan parrish and derek hale being the personification of "someone is going to die." "of fun!" meme from parks and recs.

derek hale (and everyone else on this show) should've been allowed to unpack some of their trauma suitcases.

the fans wanted found family and the show took us by the hand and said "no. xoxoxoxo"

Hey I noticed that u seem insecure ab ur body but usually ppl with ur body type (u said urself that u found it childish/small I think) can wear a lot of things and make it look good/cool/aesthetic, I've noticed this a lot.

Ofc all bodies are great but I just wanted to say that bc I rlly believe u have no reason to feel insecure ab ur body but I hope the way u see urself gets better <3

omg 🥹🥹

why ur so nice?! 🫶🏻 <3 your message brightened my day up a bit, it gave some more confidence

its true, Im kinda insecure about my body & wearing cute/aesthetic things because I look small, thin and I barely have curves. Girls in my age kinda avoid to be with me because I seem too young and ughhhh- they speak in a childish tone with me because I’m the ”little one” (not sarcastic, they probably think speaking like this would make me happy)

on photos I always, like, really, always looked two years younger than my classmates and people say that even my sis -who’s three years younger than me- looks more mature than I. You can imagine how this always pushed me into an inferior role :/

and over the years it really frustrates and gave me many complexes (Minderwertigkeitskomplexe- idk how to explain in English) especially now in puberty- I feel like on my lowest point mentally

so, well, today I wore a cute aesthetic kinda tight outfit and it felt somehow intimidating. Though I know it’s all in my psyche and people actually don’t care about my looks!! The inner negative voices cant leave meeeee

I’m doing my best

thank you again, I wanted to say <3

forget about the optical preferences of boys and focus on your own well-being ❣️

The thing is, I feel like Roman Roy is someone who’d have a very high tolerance to insanely spicy food and would get some masochistic pleasure out of, like, eating raw peppers or casually snacking on...say...incredibly, dangerously spicy chips.

So something’s up, there’s a war room situation at Waystar, all hands on deck, etc. Everyone’s been there for hours. Gerri’s tired and hungry and irritable, Roman’s making these obnoxious crunching noises while he snacks, and finally she snaps and snatches the bag away from him. 

Before he can stop her, she pops a chip  in her mouth.

I’d say you can imagine what happens next, but the fun part is that you don’t have to!

Except it’s Gerri, not J, so as steam billows out of her ears and sweat pours down her face and she gasps for breath, she’s trying not to be conspicuous or draw attention to herself. Even though she’s literally dying.

Now, if the team is spread out and Roman and Gerri are alone (or mostly alone) in her office, he’d probably be pissing himself with laughter but also trying to help her by, I don’t know, rubbing her back or something equally ineffective, and she’d be able to let go a bit more and gasp for help/water/etc. and just try to keep it together enough so that people can’t tell through the glass walls that she might need an ambulance. 

If, on the other hand, they’re all together in a conference room—Roman, Karolina, Frank, Karl, Kendall, Logan—it’s a different story. I like to think that Roman would have the quick-thinking wherewithal (and mild guilt, even though she stole the bag in the first place) to invent an immediate though clearly fake emergency and get her out of there before the worst of it all kicked in because he knows how much she’d hate for anyone to see her lose her composure so spectacularly. That said...it’s Roman, who is not necessarily known for his practicality and cool head in a crisis, so. 

Short story is that this could play out a lot of different ways but I feel like all of them end up with Gerri forcing Roman to stick a hot pepper up his own ass.

He scrambles to his feet, removing his own mask and tossing it aside before holding his hands up in a vague gesture of surrender. "I swear to you I didn't intend to wind up here-wherever this is." He's backing away from her slowly, getting ready to make a run for it if he needs to. "If you could just show me the way I'll be happy to leave-I want to leave." There's still recognition missing from his eyes and his appearance remains younger. He seems frightened and confused yet genuine but how can one ever be sure with this man?

"Oh yeah? Just like the first time you stumbled here, when you tried to mess things up?" There's nothing but pure rage and hatred against him now as she pulls out a dagger and points it back to the giant portrait of his future self.

"She may not remember things but I do. I'm always here, hardship after hardship- and you know what you did? You LIED! You USED her! Just like all the others before you!" Her feet are planted firmly to the ground as the heat of the situation intensifies, as if she can and will strike at any given moment.

"After all the horrible things you did, how can I EVER trust you!?"

[allblognameswerealreadytaken]

For me it is simple. It is easier to desinguish from one the other. Someone yelling: "I'm coming!" can be interpreted as someone announcing their arrival, which is always a possibility my mind will jump to first, as it is the more common everyday use of that phrase. This always creates a form of mental sidestep for me, distracting from the intended meaning at hand and breaking my reading flow.

"I am cuming!" however, only has one interpretation and therefore cannot be confused with anything else, preserving the reading flow.

The use of 'cum' instead of 'come' especially makes sense when you use the noun 'cum' for sperm in your fic instead of 'come', as the latter is usually only used as a verb, hence sounding odd when used as a noun. 'Cum' is free from this problem, as it is both a verb and noun.

Therefore, 'cum' is the superior choice for me.

Grian in 2024: There is a snail following you constantly and if it touches you you die. It can’t be killed or stopped and it reflects damage and tnt back towards you. If you go too far away it teleports and it can burrow through blocks and fly using a propeller. Good luck.

Declutter Tumblr

The new layout it a whole mess. Thankfully Xkit can already help with a bunch of this! I'm sure it'll give more options soon.

Vanilla Tumblr:

(I have marked in red what can be removed. The tabs can be set not to stick, so you will really only see them at the top of your dash. Empty box on the left for hidden notifications and shop sparkle, i just didn't have any. I'm EU so no Live for me).

In Gaza, journalists are passing out from exhaustion and famine. Despite the ICJ ruling, the US and Australia are intentionally defunding UNWRA based on baseless claims by Israel that members of the aid group are Hamas-sympathizers. Netanyahu, of course, has ignored the ICJ ruling. Israel has banned insulin pens from arriving in Gaza, a particularly cruel and inhumane crime to add to their laundry list of offences. Nothing has changed, and things are getting worse.

It is not that hard to not buy things. To not watch things. Perhaps it is inconvenient, and makes you go out of your way, and costs a little more to buy alternatives. But if you were to attend a funeral a day for every child that has died in Gaza so far, it would take you over 27 years. When the worst that will happen to you is that you don't watch a TV show featuring a zionist, you don't buy a specific brand that donates to and supports zionism, how could that possibly compare to the plight of Palestinians who must amputate limbs without anesthesia?

Once again, this is the BDS list of brands to boycott.

Here is a comprehensive post about more actions you can take in support of Palestine.

Here is a list of verifiable orgs that provide aid on the ground.

credible organisations that are doing work on the ground in Palestine:

Care for Gaza:non-profit charity that distributes money, food and other resources directly to families in Gaza.They maintain a regular presence on Twitter and Instagram. You can donate to them via Paypal here.

PCRF / Palestine Children's Relief Fund: non-profit organisation that distributes essential food and resources to families in Gaza. Most recently, they delivered 30 tons of vital medicine, and 82,000 pounds of flour.

Medical Aid For Palestinians: deploys medical teams to treat Palestinians suffering under Israel's malicious bombardments.

Donate e-sims to Palestine: massive post with tutorials and relevant links, with discount codes included in the post and in the replies.

Direct Aid: humanitarian fund distributing supplies such as blankets and winter jackets directly to Palestinian families.

help people leave palestine (donate what you can)

Help a Family Evacuate Gaza (GoGetFunding)

Save Sanaa and her Family (Gofundme)

Save Amjad Saher and his family (Gofundme)

Help a family of 13 escape Gaza (Gofundme)

Help a Palestinian children's book illustrator save her family of 12 (Gofundme)

Today, tomorrow and until Israel faces justice for their crimes, learn how to prioritise Palestine over your own comfort.

and if you wanna talk about jewish students feeling unwelcome on campus... my university's chapter of jewish voice for peace was banned from our jewish center for being a "political club" despite them allowing pro israel political clubs to be affiliated with it. the guy one of our college schools is named after, a wealthy zionist philanthropist, literally flipped me and my jewish friends off for protesting. a zionist student doxxed us all and put us on blacklists of pro palestine students. my israeli american friend got arrested for burning an israeli flag near campus. many such cases on american universities but somehow this type of stuff never makes it into the headlines about jewish students feeling threatened
