I had this small oneshot star wars fic I was planning to expand on but the canon reboot screwed me over
The truest note I have ever found at the end of a fic.
Romantic idealisation of mental illness more like but let's go with the Addams quote
Max: Elisabeth is at that very special age when girls have only one thing on their mind.
Sophie: Boys?
Elisabeth: Homicide.
I've thought a lot about your opinion, and I agree that bodily autonomy is important,and believe that the fetus has a right to bodily integrity too. As I tried to explain in my previous comments, being connected to the mother's body at this stage is necessary and completely natural and universal. I simply can't deny the fetus their humanity, whatever the circumstances of their conception. Thank you for having this conversation with me.
Isn’t it ironic that dead people have more rights than a living (developing) human being?
What "special right" ? To not be killed? I'm pretty sure pro lifers advocate equality too.

Here's my problem with most feminists: they don't hold all people to the same standard, they excuse any behaviour as long as a man can get away with it. BULL. SHIT. Not to mention that the whole "bad boy" fetish is primarily a women's thing.
whoop there it is
Imagine Vader at a Miku concert, singing along with his bass as hell voice, waving his lightsaber like a glowstick
Vader, pointing at the buttons on his suit: this one cleans my air filters, this one sends an electric charge on my sternum in case I go into cardiac arrest - happens more often than you might think - and this one plays music by intergalactic hologram pop star hatsune miku
Luke:
Vader:
Vader: *presses button*
Vader’s suit speakers: *blasting Melt by Hatsune Miku™*
I don't know where the hell my previous comments went but screw it, I'm gonna ask until I get a reply : please give credit to Hiromu Arakawa. You are using her work and don't even have the decency to mention her.

Anakin : Don't worry admiral, I know what I am doing
Narrator/Yularen : He did not know what he was doing
I mean, sure, I could do something that doesn't make me cry but Violet Evergarden is just too good
Roy: I used to think that working for the military was one crisis after another.
Roy: I was wrong.
Roy: as it turns out, working for the military is multiple crises, concurrently, all the time, forever
I don't know about you but as a person who studies medicine I am pretty concerned about the ethical sourcing of human tissue. So, you know, maybe think about that before blaming HIV deaths on pro lifers?
The nightmare never ends and neither does the hypocrisy
I think this is actually good. I’m okay with the occasional mature art and writing , but straight out porn? I don’t think that’s ok.
A better, more positive Tumblr
Since its founding in 2007, Tumblr has always been a place for wide open, creative self-expression at the heart of community and culture. To borrow from our founder David Karp, we’re proud to have inspired a generation of artists, writers, creators, curators, and crusaders to redefine our culture and to help empower individuality.
Over the past several months, and inspired by our storied past, we’ve given serious thought to who we want to be to our community moving forward and have been hard at work laying the foundation for a better Tumblr. We’ve realized that in order to continue to fulfill our promise and place in culture, especially as it evolves, we must change. Some of that change began with fostering more constructive dialogue among our community members. Today, we’re taking another step by no longer allowing adult content, including explicit sexual content and nudity (with some exceptions).
Let’s first be unequivocal about something that should not be confused with today’s policy change: posting anything that is harmful to minors, including child pornography, is abhorrent and has no place in our community. We’ve always had and always will have a zero tolerance policy for this type of content. To this end, we continuously invest in the enforcement of this policy, including industry-standard machine monitoring, a growing team of human moderators, and user tools that make it easy to report abuse. We also closely partner with the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children and the Internet Watch Foundation, two invaluable organizations at the forefront of protecting our children from abuse, and through these partnerships we report violations of this policy to law enforcement authorities. We can never prevent all bad actors from attempting to abuse our platform, but we make it our highest priority to keep the community as safe as possible.
So what is changing?
Posts that contain adult content will no longer be allowed on Tumblr, and we’ve updated our Community Guidelines to reflect this policy change. We recognize Tumblr is also a place to speak freely about topics like art, sex positivity, your relationships, your sexuality, and your personal journey. We want to make sure that we continue to foster this type of diversity of expression in the community, so our new policy strives to strike a balance.
Why are we doing this?
It is our continued, humble aspiration that Tumblr be a safe place for creative expression, self-discovery, and a deep sense of community. As Tumblr continues to grow and evolve, and our understanding of our impact on our world becomes clearer, we have a responsibility to consider that impact across different age groups, demographics, cultures, and mindsets. We spent considerable time weighing the pros and cons of expression in the community that includes adult content. In doing so, it became clear that without this content we have the opportunity to create a place where more people feel comfortable expressing themselves.
Bottom line: There are no shortage of sites on the internet that feature adult content. We will leave it to them and focus our efforts on creating the most welcoming environment possible for our community.
So what’s next?
Starting December 17, 2018, we will begin enforcing this new policy. Community members with content that is no longer permitted on Tumblr will get a heads up from us in advance and steps they can take to appeal or preserve their content outside the community if they so choose. All changes won’t happen overnight as something of this complexity takes time.
Another thing, filtering this type of content versus say, a political protest with nudity or the statue of David, is not simple at scale. We’re relying on automated tools to identify adult content and humans to help train and keep our systems in check. We know there will be mistakes, but we’ve done our best to create and enforce a policy that acknowledges the breadth of expression we see in the community.
Most importantly, we’re going to be as transparent as possible with you about the decisions we’re making and resources available to you, including more detailed information, product enhancements, and more content moderators to interface directly with the community and content.
Like you, we love Tumblr and what it’s come to mean for millions of people around the world. Our actions are out of love and hope for our community. We won’t always get this right, especially in the beginning, but we are determined to make your experience a positive one.

I mean we could say Netflix!Olaf when we try to specify him from his book (or movie) counterpart
but
We could also call him Show-laf
Imagine Olaf screaming "PARKLIFE" every time Lemony finished a sentence
That chapter stabbed me in the heart
Golden Kamuy chap 179 SPOILER ALERT... I'm literally about to cry for Tsurumi this was so cruel.... So his name is apparently Tokushiro, I had that short of a headcanon that it was Saichi like Sugimoto. Anyway, yeah... Poor Fina, poor Olga, poor Sofia... This chapter was honestly crushing. The way Tsurumi kissed his baby's hand... Just... Waaaaahhhh 😭
Cinderella is (still) a heroine
Recently Keira Knightley mentioned that she doesn't allow her children to watch Cinderella, because "she did nothing and waited for a man to save her". Because she isn't "feminist" enough. Emma Watson too made about the same comments a few years back when she rejected the role of Cinderella. To be honest, I was extremely disappointed with both actresses's interpretation of the character, a bit more with Watson, because she is a UN ambassador for women. Cinderella is a domestic slave in a male dominated society. She's an orphan, her remaining(all female too! ) family appears to be financially unstable, and yes, she's a servant. Do you know how many women are actually in the same position today? MILLIONS. Moving on, with one of my favourite quotes about Cinderella: she didn't ask for a prince. She asked for a dress and a night off. She had every right to be at that ball, she even worked hard to be there, and yet her stepmother and sisters still found a way to sabotage her. Enter deus ex machina: the fairy godmother. Because social services didn't really exist at the time. She gets to the ball, she has fun, she even gets to meet the prince, and yet when her time is up, she just goes home. She doesn't beg anyone to take her in, she doesn't ask the prince to save her. Why? Maybe she's still too traumatised and scared to actually escape. Maybe she thinks she isn't worth that much anymore. So, home she goes, back to cleaning and cooking. This is where I'll stop narrating. This is enough. This is a story that has been true, is still true, and sadly will be true for countless young women. So, Keira and Emma, please tell me: what is a "strong woman" supposed to do when faced with poverty, abuse and has no access to education, welfare or even just a better job? Why does Cinderella have to be a role model, when she is in fact a victim? All these women in sweatshops, in the fields, in the kitchens of rich men's mansions, would really like to know: I'm I not "good enough" as a woman?
I'm convinced some people on Tumblr confuse gender with personality

Hey Tumblr, do you know what terror feels like? Volunteering at a camp and suddenly seeing thick black smoke and FUCKING FLAMES, one year after the camp had ALREADY burned down and we had worked our asses off to rebuild it. Seeing 160 kids cry, scream, complain, clap every time they saw firemen. Singing about Jesus holding you in his hands, while inwardly screaming for your daddy. Realising that your phone is literally working on 1%. Spending a chaotic afternoon without food, water and a toilet, while trying to keep all these children occupied. Returning to camp at 1:00 PM, with no water and power. Finally being able to sleep long after midnight, and being jolted awake when the fire re-ignited. Reading news the next day, and seeing that you were the lucky one.
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:
An image captured by a Nasa satellite shows a thick plume of smoke blowing southward from the Greek island of Chios over the island of Crete

Duca, Croatia

I'm kinda annoyed because the scene where Yularen caught Thrawn with Nightswan wasn't in the comic
