I call upon the fan fic writing gods to bless you with the perseverance to finish one of your unfinished drafts. 

May your fingers dance along the letters upon your device with ease, may the devil of distraction stay far from you, and may your work not need much editing.

I pass this blessing upon every fan fic writer out there.

I'm getting better a holding women responsible for their actions like I wold do with every person in their position, but sometimes i remember that they have been a 14 year old girl once and everything kind of crumbles

#you can get one single guess on who this is about

[ibenology]

I think they would've been friends

#headcanon that they have actually met #like Toph’s parents went to the north pole on some diplomatic rich people business #and since Yue already has guards with her all the time #Toph was placed with her #I don’t think they liked each other at the start #but grew to be friends #and Toph never mentions it because why would she #it’s never natural to bring it up #atla #toph beifong #princess yue

im starting to think you guys dont like it when stories make you feel things

#we had a long discussion about content warnings in my literature class the other day #I am all for putting both TW’s and CW’s on the curriculum #especially cause we’re reading queer novels and classics #but people were asking the prof to tell them all the ‘uncomfortable’ stuff that happened in EVERY book #so they could skip it?????? #you are taking a LITERATURE CLASS in UNIVERSITY #ABOUT QUEER HISTORY #you HAVE to be able to feel a little uncomfortable when reading the stories of REAL QUEER AUTHORS #okay I’m done now #iben speaks in tags

I must sleep. Sleep is the mind-healer. Sleep is the big-life that brings total ability to fucking do anything. I will face my bed. I will permit the blankie to pass over me and snores to pass through me. And when sleep has gone past I will turn the outer eye to greet the new morning. When the sleep has gone there will be everything. Energy and will to live will remain.

#I love sleeping!!!!!! #if I could be sleepy with a perfectly warm blanket and a perfectly cool room forever #I WOULD DO IT #random trash

it’s interesting learning which homophobic ideas are confusing and unfamiliar to the next generation. for example, every once in a while i’ll see a post going around expressing tittering surprise at someone’s claim that gay men have hundreds of sexual partners in their lifetimes. while these posts often have a snappy comeback attached, they send a shiver down my spine because i remember when those claims were common, when you’d see them on the news or read them in your study bible. and they were deployed with a specific purpose — to convince you not just that gay men were disgusting and pathological, but that they deserved to die from AIDS. i saw another post laughing at the outlandish idea that gay men eroticize and worship death, but that too was a standard line, part and parcel of this propaganda with the goal of dehumanizing gay men as they died by the thousands with little intervention from mainstream society.

which is not to say that not knowing this is your fault, or that i don’t understand. i’ll never forget sitting in a classroom with my high school gsa, all five of us, watching a documentary on depictions of gay and bi people in media (off the straight and narrow [pdf transcript] — a worthwhile watch if your school library has it) when the narrator mentioned “the stereotype of the gay psycho killer.” we burst into giggles — how ridiculous! — then turned to our gay faculty advisors and saw their pale, pained faces as they told us “no, really. that was real” and we realized that what we’d been laughing at was the stuff of their lives.

it’s moving and inspiring to see a new generation of kids growing up without encountering these ideas. it’s a good thing. but at the same time, we have to pass on the knowledge of this pain, so we’re not caught unawares when those who hate us come back with the oldest tricks in the book.
