Trump and Vance really put the tyrant in tantrum, didn't they? Pathetic. Weak, cowardly, sniveling little bullies is all that they are.

I understand that I'm just one person who voted against all of this. I understand that this is just my Tumblr thingy. I understand that when the history of this is written, I will not even be a footnote.

But it is still important to me to go on the public record: The way Trump and Vance treated the President of Ukraine was despicable. It was a betrayal of an ally that is fighting for its very existence. As an American, I am disgusted with the rulers of my country. I am disgusted with their supporters, who ought to be ashamed of themselves.

To the people of Ukraine, I am so sorry. 75 million of us did everything we could to stop this. but there is a white supremacist cancer in America's blood, and the 2024 election confirmed that it has metastasized. For what it's worth, I stand with you, as I stand against the tyrants who disrespected your president today.

Holy shit, this is beautiful!

[tickletorso]

so I got into grad school today with my shitty 2.8 gpa and the moral of the story is reblog those good luck posts for the love of god

NATIONAL HOLIDAY TODAY!! (Skin Deep anniversary) ♥

[tickletorso]

So I want to share a romantic, fluffy moment that happened today in real life all thanks to Rumbelle!

My partner was working tonight leaving me with kiddo bedtime. Somehow he snuck into the house, dropped off beautiful roses, and left this quickly scrawled card reading, “I’m yours. I have been for quite some time.”

Well, of course, after I finished freaking out and squeeing my heart out, I started googling this quote. I was like this sounds so familiar. Is it from Pride and Prejudice or Jane Eyre? Maybe one of the movie adaptations?

So finally I gave up and messaged him AND the quote is from one of my Rumbelle fanfics THE RARE BOOKS CRISES 😩😩😩😍😍😍😍💕💕💕

He quoted me back to me and all because of Rumbelle and if that’s not true love then I don’t know what is 🥀

HAPPY SKIN DEEP DAY

[tickletorso]

Skin Deep - Rumbelle the Movie

In honor of Skin Deep day, I compiled all of the Dark Castle/Enchanted Forest scenes from Skin Deep into one video - enjoy :)

I've also added it in my plex server so if you would like to have access to that then let me know! I would just need your plex username (making an account is free) so that I can add you :)

Happy Skin Deep Day!

I can't believe it's February 12th again already. Happy Anniversary to the Rumbelle fandom. I love y'all! Watch Skin Deep, drink some tea, buy yourself some roses, and ugly cry when Rumple says "so she needs....a home?" Read a fic. Write a fic. Make some art. Comment on someone's fic or art. Spread the joy of Rumbelle.

Happy February 12th!

A small hippopotamus trots into your inbox, carrying a bouquet of flowers in her mouth for you and leaving slightly damp footprints in her wake. A card tucked into the flowers reads "You are a wonderful, loved person." Pass this on to at least five other blogs that deserve it.

Thank you little hippopotamus for making me ugly cry first thing in the morning ❤️❤️❤️🥰🥰🥰😘

I’m counting this as part of the @fluffapalooza celebration. Clearly, Rumple got into some magic mischief and now he’s stuck being an adorable little hippo for 24hrs but he wanted to make sure Rumbellers feel special on this holy day 💐 And trotted through the snow with roses and cards.

[tickletorso]

I just spent 10 minutes looking at outside shots of Mr Gold's Pawnshop so I could see what store is next to him for a throwaway line of no importance in a fic I'm writing.

It's an ice-cream shop, btw.

Quietly losing my mind over the fact that Elon Musk has straight up orchestrated a coup of our executive branch and like....I don't even know what, if any, system we have in place to fix this. Like... He's just taken control of the money and locked out the actual appointed officials. What the fuck.
