‘history, huh? bet we could make some’ and ‘you don’t make it fucking easy. but i’m in love with you’ and ‘on purpose. i love him on purpose’ and ‘your spine is a ridge i’d die climbing’ and ‘you and me and history, remember?’ and ‘you love so much bigger than yourself, bigger than everything. i can’t believe how lucky i am to witness it- to be the one who gets to have it, and so much of it, is beyond luck and feels like fate’ and ‘you had the absolute audacity to love me back. can you believe it?’ and ‘have i told you lately that you’re brave?’ and ‘henry kisses his mouth over and over again and says quietly,  “you are good.”’

i never talk about these things but i can’t remain silent.
i know tumblr doesn’t give a SHIT when things happen in countries outside the “most popular ones” (such as the usa & england). it’s true, don’t lie to me. y’all don’t give A FUCK. not every issue and problem in said countries gets the appropriate exposure but in general shit shows up on the news WORLD FREAKING  WIDE. you set up donations, you help out, your spread the word, you say “pray for x”……
southern europe is burning. 
my country is burning.
people are dying - at home, on the road, trying to run away, in their cars.
yesterday my country had 300 active fires.
people are losing EVERYTHING they own.
i have a friend that is on a train right now passing through places that have been burnt to the ground and she says the smoke is so intense it’s getting inside the train and she can barely breathe.
and yet, even though several people (myself included) have been trying to bring awareness to what has been happening in southern europe… what we get from most of you, those not part of the countries suffering, is silence. we don’t ask for money, we don’t ask for shit other than a reblog to spread awareness… something you can delete in 24/48hrs if you wish. 
i don’t know what to tell you. i’m angry. i’m frustrated. i’m disappointed. i feel like i’m screaming into the void. “a reblog does nothing” - you know that’s a damn lie, you know exposure always helps, you know people start paying attention when posts on social media become popular. my country in particular is a small one, we get ZERO exposure. y’all are only starting to figure out we even fucking exist bc of the shit we’ve been winning lately. 
but hell, if the EU doesn’t give a shit, why should some user on tumblr dot com?
again, i don’t know what to tell you so i’ll let the images speak for themselves:

as someone who loves neil and andrew i do not hate aaron at all i'm new to the fandom and only just got the books. i'm still on the first book. but why do so many people hate aaron? all the characters have their flaws all the characters have their good parts that's what make them all human. so i guess what i'm asking is why does aaron get so much hate? it seems unjustified and cruel. no ones perfect. thanks for reading all this! have a good weekend
I’m going to try to answer this without being too controversial, and without being too spoilery since you haven’t read the entire series. This is something that has low key bothered me about the aftg fandom for a while, and sometimes I scream into the void about it. These are just some observations and opinions I’ve made over time. This is by no means directed towards any certain person or blog, y’all are obviously allowed to think and process the books however y’all want. That’s what makes books so fun.
Keep reading

Number 15, burger king foot lettuce
The last thing you'd want in your Burger King burger is someone's foot fungus. But as it turns out, that might be what you get. A 4channer uploaded a photo anonymously to the site showcasing his feet in a plastic bin of lettuce. With the statement: "This is the lettuce you eat at Burger King." Admittedly, he had shoes on.
But that's even worse.
The post went live at 11:38 PM on July 16, and a mere 20 minutes later, the Burger King in question was alerted to the rogue employee. At least, I hope he's rogue. How did it happen? Well, the BK employee hadn't removed the Exif data from the uploaded photo, which suggested the culprit was somewhere in Mayfield Heights, Ohio. This was at 11:47. Three minutes later at 11:50, the Burger King branch address was posted with wishes of happy unemployment. 5 minutes later, the news station was contacted by another 4channer. And three minutes later, at 11:58, a link was posted: BK's "Tell us about us" online forum. The foot photo, otherwise known as exhibit A, was attached. Cleveland Scene Magazine contacted the BK in question the next day. When questioned, the breakfast shift manager said "Oh, I know who that is. He's getting fired." Mystery solved, by 4chan. Now we can all go back to eating our fast food in peace.
saar, what the fuck?????????

Friendly reminder that people (and well written characters) are more than one thing.
Aaron has some homophobic beliefs; “if you’re gay you shouldn’t be proud of/broadcast it” being the biggest one that appears to me in canon, but probably others as well. AND he stands up for and supports Nicky. His feelings towards Andrew don’t change when he finds out he is gay. BOTH these things are true and exist at the same time.
Nicky sexually assaulted Neil, and has issues respecting other people’s boundaries. AND he deeply cares about Neil’s happiness and wellbeing as well as all of his friends and family. BOTH these things are true and exist at the same time.
Andrew takes his promises and deals of protection extremely seriously. He respects people’s sexual boundaries to a fault due to his history of abuse. AND he seems to feel as if once someone is under his protection he has a degree of ownership over them. (slashing Kevin’s chest/choking him, “don’t touch my things”, always being in control of what the cousins do/where they go.) He physically assaults multiple characters on multiple occasions. BOTH these things are true and exist at the same time.
Kevin is arrogant, single minded to the point of insensitivity, and dismissive of others he deems unworthy. AND he tells Neil to save himself and run, knowing it will cost him the season, which could probably lead to him going back to the Moriyamas. BOTH these things are true and exist at the same time.
Neil is a cut throat badass man who does whatever needs to be done to achieve his goals while accepting there may be collateral damage to others. AND he enjoys and craves moments of softness with his friends and lover and wants to protect them. BOTH these things are true and exist at the same time.
Even Riko, he was a horrifically abusive and cruel person who hurt a lot of people. AND he was a victim of abuse. BOTH these things are true and exist at the same time.
If you keep looking, you will find more things that may seem to be contradictions. People aren’t black and white, good or bad. Complexity and nuance are GOOD. Actions can’t cancel each other out, no amount of good deeds can erase the bad you’ve done, and vice versa. 
Try expanding your thinking! As Walt Whitman said, “Do I contradict myself? Very well, then I contradict myself, I am large, I contain multitudes.” Things get harder to define and to put into boxes, but they also get infinitely more interesting and useful!

andrew has a lot of rage and angery inside him and it makes sense that he choked kevin Vs. no one ever kept a promise to andrew and it shows very clearly in the way he holds on tightly to the promises he makes until he mentally and emotionally can't keep them anymore (see: his deal with aaron) + promises being the only thing andrew is evidently passionate about + a large part of his arc being just his loyalty boner for 3 people. choose your fighter.

Ok but, “killing Neil is the one thing Andrew can’t come back from, the one thing it would hurt him to lose” is slightly negated by “Andrew would burn the world for Aaron, there’s no coming back from that kind of love” and if not for the vast miscommunication and distance the twins put into their relationship it would stand to reason that Andrew could see that it would also hurt beyond repair to lose Aaron thanks for coming to my ted talk
