#seriously just listen to us

[starfishinthedistance]

As a lesbian, I have literally never been bothered by the things non-lesbians have told me I have to be offended by.

Ace lesbians? Cool.

Aro lesbians? Swag.

Aroace lesbians? Neat.

Lesbians with split attraction? Wonderful.

He/him lesbians? Sure.

Transmasc lesbians? Whatever floats your boat.

POC lesbians with their identity influenced by their culture? Lovely.

Bigender lesbians? Nice.

T4T lesbians? Amazing.

Butch 4 butch lesbians? Rad.

Femme 4 femme lesbians? Great.

Like there are so many issues we actually face that we'd love y'all to get fired up about, but instead you chose to play identity and respectability politics with members of our community just living their lives and not hurting anyone??? It's wild.

can't believe we're all adults being forced into the club penguin level of censorship in 2024

#ramble #if you say unalive in front of me i will personally kill you with my hands #you just can't muffle and censor and hold someone's hand through some things #some things are horrible. and they should be spoken aloud and they should upset you. because they are horrible #the second we started kidzbopifying the world was the end of taking anything seriously i think #i'm not even joking i've spoken to people older than me who won't even say the world sex #this isn't the playground you're not going to get in trouble just let us say the word!!!!!! #how am i supposed to listen to you when you won't even say the thing you're supposed to be talking about #yes this is the fault of the platforms with their censorship rules but the fact that we all just go along with it like it's not dystopian #you do know it doesn't stop with cursing right. people are already having to censor queer terms because they get flagged as inappropriate

FAMINE: That's one deep, dark nothing you've got there, Dean.

[youtube with closed captions]

dean and his father. dean and his family. dean and how bad it is.

(via @closetoyou1970)

#spn #vid #mind the warnings on this one for real #woe! fruit of my rewatch be upon ye. #pallas calls this my 'deangirl coming out vid' which honestly. true. but those who paid attention know i've always been a deangirl. #also. after this no more deanwinchester rilo kiley amvs I Pwomise #anyway. i'm not gonna give a full commentary here but a big reason why i chose this song is that the narrator #is essentially dismissing her own problems and instead watching the problems of someone else #and i kind of wanted to play with that theme. this is the parallels show so let's do some parallels. lots of things happen to characters #that are Like Dean somehow. either in personality or circumstance. that we know or can infer happen to him. but we don't see it bc it's #not sayable. not speakable. so like for an easy one. we see meg being tortured in caged heat. she also talks about apprenticing under #alastair just like dean. so i show her being tortured [in a way that is sexualized and demon-specific] and reacting how she does #because i invite the audience to imagine or interpret that this has also happened to dean at some point. we just don't see it #so there are many dean parallels in this video. some obvious. some subtle but textual. some products of my twisted mind. but that's the way #i am using them to make my argument. #oh also: dean voice sam's eyes going black is JUST like when he used to fight with dad and wouldn't listen to me when i told him not to. #i guess also the point is that because it's unsayable. dean can't say it. dean can't even acknowledge it. and so it bleeds through #into everything in his life #that's why it's important that the song narrator doesn't take her own problems seriously. dean doesn't either.

Every time I read Fernando cursing in fic, I can only think about this clip and then my brain short-circuits

#i have many feelings i shall not disclose about this clip #but i thought abt it again bcs in some fic i was reading it had fernando saying 'joder' #AND THIS CLIP JUST SHOT DIRECTLY INTO THE FOREFRONT OF MY BRAIN #fernando season 1 truly fed us so well #like seriously that show is a fernando fans wet dream theres just...so much...interesting...stuff... #i kept having to replay this clip bcs aaaahhhhhhhh my god.......the cursing...the low tone...the rolling Rs #wdym this clip is about being ahead in a race? all i can hear is sexy cursing and that it is brilliant :) #and nando himself listening back to the clip and just nodding confidently...I AM DEAD HE KILLED ME #(im not really used to reading Spanish J(too used to English J and German J) so the H sound doesnt really pop into my head immediately) #(so i could never really like visualize Spanish speaking charas saying words like joder in a sexy way) #(and then they showed that part in the show and my brain leaked out of my head) #*not actually strollonso but strollonso in my heart because this clip is how I visualize dom Fernando hehehe #i dont remember the ep i think it was either 4 or 5 #i think itd be funny if it was 4 tho bcs i think that ep had the most insane clips and gave so much content #(that one had kitty fernando/carlando sr gay drama scene/nando getting railed(thematically)/etc) #fernando alonso #fernando(show) #fa14 #formula 1 #formula one #f1 #we do a little bit of f1 #fernando s1e5

sick and tired of seeing people use zip ties for boning. listen to me i am a costume designer stop using plastic which does not hold your shape (the whole point of boning) you do not need to buy proper coiled boning or anything: go to a hardware store and find flat metal tension spring (google tells me that's what it's called, unfortunately i also don't know what its used for in hardware store related things so i cant describe it if that isnt the correct translation, soz) you can get a roll of 15m x 4mm tension spring for about 15 euros where i live and then you just have to cut it with metal shears (you can use a regular cutting pliers probably but if you have metal shears you will be happier) then either file down the edges a bit if you're genuinely gonna wear it a lot, or you just wind some tape around the edges to make sure putting them in the channels isn't gonna rip your fabric and anyway now you have an actually functional boned garment. go to a hardware store and show them this pic btw:

^ this is what you want. also bc this is 4mm wide around stress points like closures you want to make 2 channels right alongside each other and put in 2 pieces of tension spring for stability

#seriously zip ties are so bad for anything you want to do with boning and like i get why people use them and i DO get that most ppl dont #actually want a corset in terms of shape restriction but then im just like. use a different fabric that's stiff and is gonna look structure #just by the fact of it being a thicker fabric and you putting a bunch of seams in it #and if you want it for underwear USE TENSION SPRING BONING ANYWAY its just better in every way than plastic nonsense !!! #costuming #cosplay #sewing #historical costuming #idk dude im not on costuming tumblr just. stop it. i hate that im writing 'listen up tumblypoos' posts but like #i just got an instagram reel with ziptie boning and its like. a) if you dont know about zip ties by now its too late and b) use tension spr #-ng. this was like some dude also who thinks himself a fashion designer like baby girl i know you are not actually designing with zipties #ok. tumblypoospost over

How did the Abbot fuck up the forging process so badly

Multiple night creatures are outright retaining their original souls and personalities

I'm cackling he's so bad at this

#when isaac did it it was because the sinner soul was a weird ass pilosopher #and isaac was cool #but when it happens this many times and with the ORIGINAL souls #its a bit pathetic lmao #seriously its so funny #like ooh look at this scary forgemaster but his night creatures just feel really bad about being night creatures and refuse to listen #castlevania: nocturne #castlevania netflix #castlevania nocturne #castlevania #castlevania spoilers #the first show gave us two competent people and then the show runners decided “okay now we have to make the next one terrible at his job” #also just the “surprise i AM the father” lmaooo

In the deep silence of midnight, the universe revealed itself to its listeners as a vast desolation. What Ye disliked most was seeing the waves that slowly crawled across the display, a visual record of the meaningless noise Red Coast picked up from space. Ye felt this interminable wave was an abstract view of the universe: one end connected to the endless past, the other to the endless future, and in the middle only the ups and downs of random chance—without life, without pattern, the peaks and valleys at different heights like uneven grains of sand lined up in a row, lonely, desolate, so long that it was intolerable. You could go forward or backward as long as you liked, but you’d never find the end.

- Cixin Liu, The Three-Body Problem

#quotes #liu cixin #cixin liu #the three body problem #three body problem #3 body problem #dexterreads #seriously looking forward to the Netflix adaption of this #just need to read the next two books in the series #also I love how the same imagery is used for the Trisolaran listener #but both interpret it so differently

“you don’t get to tell me about sad” says the girlie completely and absolutely avoiding the fact that thousands of people are DEVASTATED bc their families, lives, and homes are being fucking destroyed, murdered and tortured. but she wont acknowledge any of that sadness….

#personal #bro like i’m sorry i used to literally fight in the trenches for her #but everything she does and says feels SO tone deaf #like i just can’t take her seriously anymore #it feels like we live in taylor swifts world but it’s not….she is doing absolutely nothing to better society…only herself and her agenda!! #i have such a grudge against ttpd bc of so many reasons….i think this is the first ts album i will not listen to release night

Power Seal?

what's that?

Ever wonder why you hear ancient stories about wild raging tyranitar burning villages to the ground, but in trainer battles on tv, a well trained lycanroc can get hit by a hyper beam from one and still be standing? Type advantage aside, thats thanks to power seals!

A standard diagram of a heal ball here. The blue rim, in different colors but in all pokeballs, is where your power seal is. PSA: If you ever notice a crack in that, GO TO YOUR NEAREST POKEMON CENTER IMMEDIATELY! Trade machines can exchange the same pokemon to another empty pokeball, and if you tell a nurse joy its because the seal is broken they’ll transfer your pokemon to a new pokeball for free

But anyway, power seals do exactly what it sounds like: they limit the power of a pokemon’s moves, so that in battles you can only ever knock out your opponents pokemon, and that a trainer’s togedemaru shocking you on accident wont literally kill you. Some people forget because they grow up around pokemon owned by trainers, but wild pokemon are way stronger than we give them credit for. Seriously, we don’t tell kids to avoid the tall grass for nothing. A power seal on your pokeball breaking means your pokemon is suddenly at its full power and very likely to actually hurt other pokemon in battles, so you need to get the pokeball replaced immediately

And if it worries you, pretty much all wild pokemon are aware that being caught means their power being limited, even if they don’t know exactly how. Thats why even the sweetest wild garchomp you have a bond to likely won’t just agree to be caught, lots of pokemon want a battle before you can catch them because they want you to prove you’re stronger than the power they’d be giving up

#if you listen closely you can hear me go into educator mode #but seriously it does worry me how rare this knowledge is in the general population because its SO important to know #most people are just told ‘if the line on your pokeball ever cracks go get it replaced’ but they dont understand the urgency #its a whole thing and you get treated to me rambling #pokemon irl #rotomblr #pkmn irl #lore #//enjoy: my copious headcanons on why ash can survive getting thunder bolted by pikachu #//and why everyone in pokemon legends arceus is freaking out about how dangerous pokemon are all the time #//professor laventon is afraid of handling a rowlet wrong. clearly theres something we dont know #//btw!! this is free to reblog and use! add ur own stuff have fun w it

The fun game of which headcanon would I like better:

A) one of the batkids playing welcome to the black parade by MCR and Bruce knowing every word cause of course he does, he went through an emo phase (he's still in his emo phase), he listened to it on repeat when it came out to the point that even Alfred can recite the lyrics, it was his inspiration for the Batman mantle

Or

B) one of the batkids playing welcome to the black parade by MCR and Bruce BECOMING obsessed with it, like he's never heard it before but the lyrics hit him hard and he then forces anyone near him to listen to it on repeat for weeks cause he plays it everywhere he goes, he gets into all their other songs, and he, as a middle aged father of 7, goes through the MCR black parade aspect of his emo phase

#he and ollie used to listen to it together #their feud would end as long as the song was blasting and they would belt out together #the batkids see this as the Embarrassing Dad™ Bruce and they just try to roll with it #if anyone tries to make fun of Bruce he just pulls the old 'this is my house and ill play my music without judgement' card #bruce seems like the type to not often get obsessed with things like songs but when he does he gets it BAD #bruce wayne #batman #batman hc #batman headcanon #batkids #batfam #welcome to the black parade #mcr #its crazy how well these lyrics fit with bruce like if you told me this song was written about bruce wayne i would believe you #its also radical that wecome to the black parade came out in 2006 #like dude i was barely 1 when that came out #and 16 years later my friends and i listen to it unironically along with many other mcr songs #but like seriously you need to go listen to it and tell me im not the only one who sees the comparisons #this is like bruces unoffical theme song (and mcr has a song called na na na (na na na na na na na na na) which i guess you could say is #batman's literal theme song- im telling you this is like Batman's Band™ and dont let anyone tell you otherwise

Watched "Into the Unknown" again for no particular reason whatsoever, and besides being the highlight of a movie that was meddled into absolute disappointment, I was struck by the genius of this shot as I watched Elsa run toward the edge of the cliff and remembered, "Oh, right, she stops at the edge and reaches out."

But no.

The movie is BETTER THAN THAT and has her make an extension out of ice, showing that Elsa's capable of pushing herself farther than the boundaries nature set for her, and that she's willing to go the extra distance to solve this mystery (which apparently the writers themselves didn't even have solved at the time).

It's just Good Animation. No one else is gonna do that. Every other character is going to stop where the cliff says "stop", but Elsa has MAGIC and she USES IT.

#this isn't meant to be an attack this is just me loving Elsa's character #and hoping that they use her for the next two movies #again...she can be in an action film if she wants #Frozen: War Arc #it can happen #seriously #might be good #show some horrors of war #also please give her a gf listening to the song reminded me that Gay Elsa is not only on the table she's already On the Board #''I'm of course it turned out to be her MOM #which was okay but also kinda eh #this movie was a MESS #but it was good #coulda been Great #but it was just good #Frozen original was Great though and Wish definitely cemented that status #but we need some ROMANTIC TENSION back in these films come on

just finished reading the last unicorn, and as much as I adore the film, its honestly so unfortunate how few people I see discussing the book, as the prose genuinely contains some of the most gorgeous, evocative imagery I've ever read

#the last unicorn #like seriously if u haven't read it before please do #or listen to an audiobook #just please for the love of god experience how amazing peter s. beagle's use of words is

(Image ID: A tumblr post that reads I need minors to learn how to lie online again. Your name is Derek, you’re 25 and work in accounting now. Please for your own safety learn how to fucking lie. And if you don’t want to lie, then don’t put your age anywhere. Don’t even say whether you’re a minor or not. It is perfectly easy to avoid adult spaces without signposting that you are doing so because you’re a child. Stating your age doesn't protect you this only makes you a target.". End ID) NO. NO. NO. Can we not encourage minors to lie about their age??? And can we ESPECIALLY not encourage them to lie about being an adult??? Predators do not fucking care if you lie about your age. Predators do not care if you tell the truth about their age. ENCOURAGING MINORS TO LIE ABOUT THEIR AGE ISN'T GOING TO PROTECT THEM. Hell, I'd argue that lying about your age is only going to cause *more* problems for folks. Also, saying that sharing your age makes you a target is straight up victim blaming (and fear mongering to an extent too!)

Sharing your age, regardless of if you're a minor or adult, is not going to hurt you by itself. If you're uncomfortable with sharing your age, saying "minor/adult" is fine. Saying that you're above/below a certain age is fine (ex. saying you're above 18).

And if someone is bothering you, breaking your boundaries or if you're an adult and don't want minors interacting (and vice versa), the block button exists for a reason. USE IT.

Seriously it's up to you if you want to share your age publicly or not. At the end of the day the internet is still a very dangerous place, regardless if you share your age or not.

(Image ID: A banner that is blue with flowers framing it. The text reads “OP is a minor. Please respect my boundaries” End ID)

#internet safety #internet privacy #safety #privacy #internet security #internet etiquette #listen i get being worried about other people's safety i really do #but encouraging people to lie about their age is not going to help. it really won't #instead of encouraging minors to lie about their age #how about we encourage people to just... not be creepy #or encourage people to use the block button more frequently #or better yet how about we encourage social media sites to start taking creeps seriously
