“But the people affected by these issues can’t just turn them off! Why should you get to decide you’re not going to look at that stuff while on the internet?”

Because I can’t take on the world. If I try to focus on every single issue out there, then I’m going to burn out and not have anything to offer.

[ID copied from alt text: A digital comic showing Ladybug standing with her elbows on a railing, her hands up in the air in exasperation as she says, "so i found out that my boyfriend's father - gabriel agreste - was actually my arch-nemesis hawkmoth, who has been terrorising the city constantly. and he actually got both of our miraculous and reshaped reality and then he disappeared. so i told everyone that he - gabriel agreste - helped me defeat hawkmoth and now everyone thinks hes a hero. plus he apparently created my boyfriend from the peacock miraculous. so now ive been lying to my boyfriend about being a superhero, about his father, and about how he's a sentimonster."

"so that's what's been up with me lately," Ladybug finishes, looking over to the side.

It cuts to show Zuko staring at Ladybug, sweating nervously. "um…"

Zuko shrugs his shoulders and says, "that's… rough, buddy?"

While Zuko says that, Chat Noir lands on the roof they're both standing on. He's looking down to put his baton on his back while saying, "hey, my lady, sorry i'm late. you wouldn't believe what -"

Chat Noir looks up and cuts himself off to ask, " - is that zuko avatar?" End ID]

prince zuko, i am hawkmoth. i have given you the ability to regain your honor. nobody will be able to evade your capture, especially the avatar. all i want from you in exchange are ladybug and chat noir's miracu--

#artists are gods #miraculous ladybug #avatar the last airbender #i love this

i want to coin a phrase that's the opposite of writer's block. call it the muse's fire hydrant. thirty thousand story ideas are being beamed directly into your brain and if you don't write them all at once you will die.

#the muse's fire hydrant keeps me from eating breakfast until 4pm #ma'am i know you have great ideas but i need a goddamn break #sometimes u gotta like. jot down notes (catch the water in cups) so you can drink that once you enter the writer's block #writing

This one is arguably very personal because I have no idea if other aros feel the same – but I've seen too many stories about a character being rejected where the person doing the rejecting is (accidentally or not) implied to be some sort of "bad guy" or "the one who has it easier", so I guess I had an itch to show my side.

Aromantic people and alloromantic people have such different views on what "true love" is that it's not about one or the other being "in the wrong" – it's just one big compatibility issue. All I can say is – as an aromantic, being confessed to romantically IS what leaves me heartbroken, for such reasons. Hopefully there will be a broader understanding of this in the future.

i just feel like “what if the trauma we go through is usually not noble but purposeless and terrible and the things we develop to keep us alive often change us for the worse” is one of the most important realizations you can come to in terms of like. empathizing with your fellow man and yet whenever that theme shows up in fiction so many people are immediately like its either PERFECT VICTIM OR IRREDEEMABLY EVIL. open the door and walk out of the dichotomy

I DON’T CARE IF IT’S LESS DRAMATIC I will romanticize the fuck out of relationships in which both people are very clear about their feelings and what’s working for them versus what’s not. People who aggressively like the person they’re with and do what they can to make it work. None of that ego bullshit.

im happy we™ are talking about how men can't express sadness/weakness and how damaging that is but I think its just as important to talk about how women can't express anger/aggression and how massively destructive that is too

#yeah bc in both cases...those emotions will just come out in more fucked up ways #like (anecdotal observation) guys will just get hella closed off and/or upset when they're sad and that's not good for you #or get angry at themselves and others when they feel weak #women not being allowed to express anger leads to atrocious passive-aggressive behavior and do the pettiest things you've ever seen #like just. just admit you're upset and talk about it instead of pulling the Silent Treatment on everyone #this is...@ my mom a good bit. who constantly policed how i would complain about things bc the second i was Too Angry i needed to calm down #honestly the silent treatment gets used by both genders when dealing with Repressed Emotions that they still want to make everyone's problem #gender #cue the queue

When absolutely 0 of Biden’s accomplishments have made any kind of news, and we’ve been fed a steady diet of fear and panic for 3 years, no one gets to be shocked when he loses the next election to Donald 2.0.

Posting anything positive about the president here will get you called a capitalist bootlicker.

What do we expect to happen?

Anger sells better. Anger feels better, it feels righteous.

It’s easier to protest against a president you don’t like then to actually remain in charge and keep pushing ahead, even if small, consistent accomplishments are all you receive.
