yall know the "after first kiss" meme

there are three types of pairing

the meme:

#oh man click for better quality i think tumblr is nerfing it again #casually slides laughingstock into the main tag. im going to be hunted for sport #anyway im still a popstar believer and advocate #I Swear They're Endgame #unless they arent! but i have faith #wailing sobbing etc these three pairings make me crazy #oughhhhh #one is technically canon the second i believe will be canon the third is just me being unwell #and i cherish all of em <3 #scribble salad #welcome home #welcome home puppet show #welcomehome #franklydear #wh popstar #laughingstock #i feel it in my heart that these are accurate #or.. no... not feel it... desperately hope while sweating profusely

when adam says "no, john winchester was some guy who took me to a baseball game once a year. i don't have a dad" like yes SIR get his ass

#i have so many thoughts about adam and kate and their dynamic with john and it's mainly that #obviously anything about john said by the ghoul has to be taken with a whole handful of salt. obviously #because it was actively trying to manipulate sam and dean #but when the ghoul said that younger adam bugged kate 24/7 to call john i believe it. just because it makes sense #he was young! he wanted to know who his dad was. and that's understandable #and the fact that adam HAD to beg 24/7 for kate to call him....i think kate knew something was off about john #i really do. and the fact that john only showed up on adam's birthdays and only ever took him out to baseball games #which are very crowded very PUBLIC places where anything can be observed by bystanders #i think kate set that up as well. without adam's knowledge #but adam eventually grew disillusioned with john as well because from a kid's perspective #who's had to watch his mother work herself to death to support the both of them #john WAS a douchebag who only ever came around to try and fail to play house #he didn't bother trying to raise adam he didn't pay child support he didn't do ANYTHING #he just showed up pretended to act like a father and then left. and adam and kate were left there still #with their bills. with adam still having to raise himself. with kate still working the night shift and breaking her back to support them #it makes me think about how it affects adam in the future. like his behavior #because adam as we've seen has always tried to look at things from different perspectives and hear people out #in 5x18 he was like okay i'll hear you guys out even though i don't like you. give me one good reason #and in 15x08 he advocates for sam and dean even though he doesn't want to. he talks michael #but it's so interesting to me. because the line that's always gotten me about 15x08 is 'you still care about that? after he left you in the #cage?' #and it's like. adam IS genuinely trying to understand where michael's coming from. he DOES understand michael's love for his father #but when concerning the father it's like #he DOES tend to be black and white about it. john was a shitty person so therefore he's not his dad #god is a shitty person who left michael in the cage therefore michael shouldn't care what he thinks. or about him in general #et cetera et cetera #the issue of the father is the one issue that adam is black and white about. and that is to say fuck them we don't need them #it's SOOOO interesting to me. really #kate rambles #adam milligan

#so my mom's wake thing was today and that was a lot. not in an emotional sense but in a im standing here talking for 3hrs #to ppl i dont kno or barely kno. ya kno? but it was good bc so many ppl showed up to talk abt her #so many people. my mom made a huge impact on the school system. so many ppl relied on her. she encouraged at least 2 ppl to get their #master. for one person to specilize in helping the dyslexic after her experience advocating for 3 dyslexic daughters. she wrote and was #awarded a 10000 dollar grant for special needs and intervention curriculum. which will affect so many lives. #everyone loved her. she's gonna get a track meet named after her and a scholarship created in her honor. #she was an amazing person and she affected a lot of lives and im glad she was my mom. and she raised at least one jem in my littlest #sister who is so sweet and is a great teacher. god but there was some weird stuff too. were pretty sure her old boss was in love with her. #and there were some weird comments abt her being a strong woman or this woman doing so much and its like hm y do i detect a note of sexism #y not say she was an amazing person? y the surprise? weird comments about how pretty i looked. which yes i looked great lol. my funeral fit #was cute. we did bright colors bc it was a celebration not a dower event. and im sure it was ment well but it was a lil weird. and then #everyone was telling my grandma what a great job she did raising my mom and like god fuck off she didn't do jack. my mom was great despite #her terrible mother. ugh. but altogether it was good that everyone was able to express their love for her. it was def a day that was for #them mostly. i mean partly for us but mostly for them. none of us even cried. ay but we have 2 more parties in her honor #bc everyone loved her so much we have to do one in her hometown too. plus a personal friends get together. ugh. im so tired #i wish i wasnt the most awkward. eye contact avoidant person in the room but like ya kno. what can ya do? #unrelated

the moment when you realize an ai would've written a better larry show than mike waldron bc an ai would've been trained on previous loki content and thus, unlike mike, would've actually watched the films

#still not over the interview where he didn't even know that loki killed laufey even tho it was a pivotal character moment for him #or how neither he nor kate seem to get that the sylki romance could be read as selfcest or incest bc they thought it was just like #miles/gwen bc they didn't realize “loki” is a name not a title #so sylki isn't like miles/an alternate spider person. it's like miles/an alternate miles. #originally posted this in the discord but im salty so its today its going here too #I genuinely think Mike Waldron is the worst writer I have ever come across. his lack of talent is truly staggering. #Not that the others like Eric Martin are much better #still wild to me that he basically copy pasted his abominable og script and changed a few names and no one cared #or that he could get away with openly messing up basic facts about the character in interviews and showing he never even watched the movies #(The point of this post is to show how abysmally poor the quality of the Larry show was. not to advocate for ai writing) #the point is. mike couldn't even clear that very low bar. the answer is not ai. the answer was hiring actually competent writers #and not making the show with the express intent to undermine loki. bc the show wasn't just bad. it was actively malicious #loki show #loki tv series #loki season 2 #loki tv #loki series #loki tv show #random musings

WAIT WAIT. do plants literally need love to survive???? Tesla died so quickly in part because she was neglected in her needs as a person -- did the twins only survive because Rem showed them that there was a place they COULD survive? Did Tesla's body just go "there's no place for me here" and shut down? The dependent plants only survive because people care for them and tend to their needs. Are independents the same, just with different needs?

#im having a lot of half-formed thoughts about how the plants 'know' 'how to be' a person/a part of something greater #they have a more powerful connection to symbiosis than humans do -- they KNOW they can't survive without community #humans can -- and often do -- lie to themselves that they don't need other people #but the plants KNOW that they wouldn't survive alone. and they know that humans wouldn't survive without them #the independents play a different role. they're able to see and understand humans' frequent need for self-reliance and they refute it #wait don't only the first couple tags show up in search #trigun maximum #trigun tesla #trigun #ok back to rant #independents are the mouthpiece of the plants -- their advocates #most symbiosis in nature works on a more fundamental level where such communication isn't necessary #but the humans' symbiosis with the plants operates on a higher level of consiousness #free will and sentience are essential elements of it. the humans' inventiveness and enduring will is needed for the survival of the plants #this is all just a bunch of loose post-its on the wall btw otherwise id jyst make a post about it lol #anyway thank you for your time i love yall

it’s actually unreal to me that ‘radio dj’ is not a part of eiffel’s eclectic work history, like. he was born for it. you’rrree listening to 35.9 THE WOLF bringing you the galaxy’s greatest hits of the 10′s, 20′s, and whenever the hell this song is from. and then he howls.

#wolf 359 #w359 #doug eiffel #i wanna hear doug eiffel radio stingers #give that man a sound board he'll go wild #like yes a little night music is kind of eiffel doing a radio show but it is NOT the same #i wanna hear him embrace his inner rock station dj #i understand what i'm advocating for here is a psychological torment chamber for minkowski but i think that's a necessary sacrifice #thinking about 1) how zach said he initially did voice over work for commercials etc. and had to unlearn some of those habits for acting #but like i think it worked out well because having a bit of Radio Guy Voice is exactly right for the kind of person eiffel is #and 2) when someone asked what eiffel's favorite rock band was but he misread it as 'what is eiffel's rock band' #and they were all on board with that like duh of course he had a terrible garage band at some point #he is so. he's sooo .

Reading your posts is the only thing bringing me some comfort right now. You’re right about it all. We love the show, and S3 being cancelled doesn’t change that fact. Feeling devastated isn’t silly, it’s allowing yourself to be moved by art. Ed and Stede are definitely being gay and doing crimes in their inn, and they love each other. Our Flag Means Us 🫡

Aw, thank you! It's sad - I'm still sad. I do think we need to remember as well that being sad means that something meant a lot - it would, in some ways, be even sadder if we weren't so sad.

I cannot express how this show has helped me, and I've seen that it has helped a lot of other people (including some of my IRL friends). That can't be taken away or overstated.

Ed and Stede are making a life together, which is what both of them had longed for. The crew are out doing pirate-y things and will come for dinner every Sunday.

(Rosie, Rhys Darby's wife, said that she preferred to say that they "didn't pick up Season 3" not that the show was cancelled. I like that. It sorta says that the story can end where it does, or it can keep going, and both are great.)

#reply #ofmd #our flag means death #i do think it's possible for them to do something more #for another network to pick it up or for a movie to be made #so it's worth continuing to shout at Max and to advocate for its continuation #much weirder things have happened and this is a very popular show #also i just Max to be incredibly annoyed and embarrassed

I want to believe this is how they found Hunter

#the owl house #toh #labyrinth runners #toh 2b #the owl house spoilers #SJHDHHS I’m sorry but the fact that it cuts to hunter waking up after being rescued is so funny to me #like ‘hey you. youre finally awake’ #idk what else to add. very sweet that they got the E.E. to advocate for him :) like ‘mom come pick me up I’m scared’ energy #someone pointed out that bump looked in willows direction when saying the E.E was responsible for getting hunter and guessed willow might #have been the one to bring it up. which makes sense bc she’s the captain and I assume she and hunter kept talking on pensta after asias #very cute :’) we were also right abt hunter continuing to call willow ‘captain’.. altho for me I thought it was along the lines of being #raised in the emperors coven. so he’s addressing her as his superior but like we also know he kind of has a crush on her? this kid has so #many issues to work out. please let him be ok by the end of the show omg #AND SOMEONE POINTED OUT HE GETS QUIET AS OPPOSED TO HOW MUCH HE TALKS IN ANY OTHER SETTING. THATS SO CUTE I- #god I fucking love this episode. love all these kids and my boy BUMP IM SO HAPPY TO SEE HIM LETS GOOOO #my art #myart #toh spoilers #the owl house season 2 #labyrinth runners spoilers #toh skara #toh viney #toh hunter #toh fanart #the owl house fanart #fanart #comic

Disabled in Gaza suffering disproportionate harm, aid groups warn

Nov 6th, 14:20 GMT

More than 15 percent of IDPs are estimated to have disabilities, yet most shelters in Gaza are not adequately equipped for their needs, the UN agency OCHA has warned.

“Shelters lack the required medical mattresses and beds, causing ulcers and other medical issues that cannot be treated in unsterilised conditions,” it said.

The agency spoke to Um Ashraf, a 60-year-old woman, originally from Gaza City, who is now an IDP in an UNRWA shelter in the Strip’s central area. She is confined to a blanket because her wheelchair broke.

#palestine #free palestine #al jazeera #sharing this one bc i know some folks follow me bc of my disability posts #and i want to make it SO CLEAR that you are not truly advocating for disabled ppl if you aren’t showing up for this #disability advocacy that doesn’t have a basis in anti imperialism and anticapitalism is a failure and always will be

love that it’s 2024 and the first we hear of Michael apart from the obligatory people magazine thing and a few scattered Instagram appearances he’s solo representing the band in an interview about a collab we never saw coming (even when the dice said) and somehow manages to spend 50% of the interview talking about mental health (the rest being music stuff with galantis). and it’s a rolling stone interview!!!! of all magazines. like this man really doesn’t hold back. people mag we talk about family updates, rolling stone we talk about mental health whether they ask or not could be his mantra. this man really doesn’t hold back. and basically confirming their shared braincell too while we somehow manage to empathise and be like ‘huh I guess I shouldn’t worry about that either’ while he’s figuring all this out in front of us in real time narrated in that weird rolling stone way. what an adventure. what an icon

#michael clifford #5sos #5 seconds of summer #lighter #lighter interview #it’s either completely deliberate or completely accidental #but I have to say it’s always really special when mental health advocate!michael shows up

One of Hello Future Me's videos on revolution brought up an event from the Philippines back in the 80s: the dictator sent a battalion to crush a supposed revolt, only for the soldiers to be met with nuns and children offering food and water. The majority of the army defected as a result

I'm going to use rwby to try hammering this abstract concept into a coherent thought, but this incident got me thinking about how nonviolent protest is theater

If a similar event were to occur in rwby, for it to be successful, the protestors would have to be the cutesy faunus types: rabbits, cats, dogs, and the like because they're non-threatening. Attacking a sweet cat faunus would be akin to attacking a child or nun, paragons of innocence and virtue respectively. Only a monster could cut them down, and no one wants to be seen as a monster

A scorpion faunus, though? Their mere existence is a threat. That tail is dangerous, a weapon available at all times. Bull faunus have horns they can use to gouge out eyes and organs. Claim they attacked and most people would agree that killing them in self-defense is justified

Because nonviolent resistance relies on public perception, people who could possibly taint the image of the movement will get left in the dark no matter how important they are. Bayard Rustin was the one who taught Dr King about civil disobedience and was an organizer for many major events, but he opted to ride to events in the trunk of people's cars so his status as an openly gay man wouldn't harm the movement's image

There would be little wonder why the White Fang would be more popular with the "scarier" faunus. Public perception is already against them, so it's not going to change much for them if they join a violent organization, but this in turn will be seen as justification for discrimination against these types of faunus. A hellish self-perpetuating cycle

These faunus would also be far more likely to experience violence at a much younger age, akin to how black children are treated as adults even if they're literally six years old

The strategy behind nonviolent protest like the ones Dr King did is to show the world the mistreatment of the innocent, but when your existence is deemed a threat, there's little hope that you'll ever get enough support to change the system. This is why bigots constantly spew the "queer groomer" and black crime "statistics": by portraying someone's freedom as a danger to the innocent, any level of violence is justifiable defense. The police aren't attacking queers, black, and brown folk discriminately, they're attacking dangerous criminals, so it's okay!!1!

Theater can't save those already condemned and to try is wasted effort

#rwde #antiblackness tw #<- in the link #Claudette Colvin refused to give up her seat a whole 9 months before Rosa Parks yet wasnt the face of the movement #good choice considering she was only 15 and shoving a teen into the racist public eye is Not Good but her pregnancy was also a major factor #idk hopefully i got the point across #somewhat related is the trend of the privileged being the biggest advocates for peaceful protest #while the ones who've endured violence - both economically and physically - are the ones who call upon violence #which almost always means violent *self defense* #the few occasions ive read where there were actual attacks its been targeted like the BLA ambushing cops #cant say i blame them considering the mcfucking everything the cops had going on #the bpp was basically destroyed by the police and fbi at this point and that was probs a major factor in their decision #and targeted violence was exactly what the white fang was doing before cinder showed up and ruined everything #literally nothing the wf does in the show is actually for faunus liberation bc its all cinder/salems orders!! #and no one is allowed to have a brain or personality or anything so no one questions why theyre suddenly switching targets #gr8 discussion abt activism here shawluna. love that you reduced the anti racism movement to mercenaries to avoid saying anything at all #ffs they even fucked up weiss's side of the convo! obvs the fumbling of blakes ball is much worse but come the fuck on #'the wf may have assassinated company board members and family friends but were teammates now so who cares!! team rwby go!!' #fucking barf

[perenlop]

what do you mean that rgu, the show everyone claims is so much more feminist than torture porn male gazey pmmm, which is bad bc it was directed by a man which means its for men apparently so none of its messages abt misogyny are worth taking seriously…….. was also written by a man.

#LIIIIIKE. THE WAY PPL TALKED ABT RGU I WAS LIKE #‘’oh ok this must be a lot better in how it handles irs themes or it goes over better w ppl bc it was written by a woman then right? #like they want me to check out a female led show? totally understandable’’ #BUT NO!!!!!!!! RGU IS ALSO CREATED BY A MAN!!!!! #like ik urobuchi has a rep hes cringe i get it but if we are only going by the metric that hes a guy… #im not saying its a bad thing either of these shows criticizing misogyny are made by men #but mannnnnnn does this whole thing feel a lot more ridiculous now. youre telling me you werent actually #advocating for more attention on a woman-led show. #echoed voice #have to emphasize that i dont think this is an L for either show ftr #its just…. ridiculous

it’s really so sad seeing how many gay men do not give a single shit about queer women

#we advocate so hard for gay men and they just don’t care enough about us to return the favor #they’ll invite their homophobic cishet girl friends into our spaces and act like we’re bitches playing into the mean lesbian stereotype when #we get upset #we’re not allowed to call out their besties #they’ll say shit like ‘ew i hate vaginas’ ‘pussy is disgusting’ and it’s clearly aimed at lesbians who have sex #like shut the fuck up bro. your misogyny is showing #text post #queer #lesbian #bi women #wlw #sapphic #ace #queermisogyny
