Reblog If Your Blog Is Safe For

bare minimum stuff i wish all cis people knew:

basic understanding of what transgender/trans means

what a trans woman is, what a trans man is, and what a nonbinary person is (and recognition there are identities under that umbrella even if they don’t know the specifics)

what (gender) pronouns are and why it’s important to respect them

why it’s good for cis people to normalize sharing pronouns

how to use they/them pronouns

why gender-neutral bathrooms are important

basic knowledge of what kind of jokes are transphobic

basic understanding that trans people face violence and discrimination

like i do not expect everyone to have a degree in Trans Studies but this is basic basic stuff you can learn to help us be comfortable and have a foundation for deeper discussions on trans topics. it would take maybe a few hours or less to get a general understanding of these things.

i don’t want to have to explain all of this every time i ask if we can do pronouns in introductions, add gender-neutral bathrooms to accessibility info, introduce someone who uses they/them pronouns, etc. if people took just a little time to learn this on their own it would be so helpful.

(cis people feel free to reblog this, and i encourage you to do some reading on anything here you don’t know about)

Characters Bottling Emotions

@knightedwriter asked: “I have this character who gets into a stressful situation and has a history of emotional abuse. He bottles his emotions. I’m having a lot of trouble figuring out how he should respond to situations, especially as his stress builds and he starts to break. He’s not the POV character.” 

I’ve gotten similar questions more than a few times recently and I think there’s something to be said for characters who don’t wear their heart on their sleeves are harder to write about when it comes to showing emotion.

NOT EVERYTHING IS ABOUT A GOD DAMN RELATIONSHIP AND LOSING WEIGHT AND BEING BEAUTIFUL FOR GODS SAKE GO OUTSIDE AND ROB A STORE AND FEEL ALIVE AS YOU RUN AWAY FROM SECURITY

Hey people, so, this is kinda a last-ditch effort considering that I've got basically no people following me, but maybe some people will see it via the tags or something. Basically, I watched the documentary series "Don't F*ck With Cats" on Netflix earlier, and I just realised that, well, it was a lot heavier than I bargained for. I don't have any idea why I didn't just turn it off at the time. I've got slight anxiety/paranoia issues anyway, and this really isn't helping. My thoughts just keep drifting back to the documentary/the content of the documentary... Which is very dark. Animal abuse, serial killers... etc. Does anybody have any ideas on how to calm down and stop myself from freaking out over this/stop worrying about being murdered by a serial killer/stop my thoughts from drifting back to the documentary? Thanks so much to anybody that can help. :) PS: Please tell me if I missed any tags that would be suitable here/trigger warnings, or if my trigger warning tags aren't up to standard! (I heard that there are different conventions that change every so often, but I'm not up to date.)

What sort of stuff should people submit in junk responses, exactly? Will just random keysmash do?

[Tweet from the FBI at 5:47pm EDT on June 1, 2020: The FBI is seeking information and digital media depicting individuals inciting violence during First Amendment protected peaceful demonstrations: fbi.gov/violence]

The FBI has set up an online tip site to collect information on “unlawful violent actions” going on at protests in the U.S. Please help flood the system with junk responses so the FBI can’t use this tool to track down and punish protesters! You can submit a junk response here or by calling 1-800-225-5324.

Some details:

You can submit multiple responses

You do not have to be in the U.S to submit something

The form asks for but doesn’t require you to fill out personal information

Even though the page is meant to be collecting photo/video files, you don’t have to upload any (although doing so will make your response more time consuming to weed out!)

Messing with surveillance tools like this has been shown to be effective this week already. Support the protesters who are fighting for and with you! Black lives matter!

the whole “mermaids are all colourful and friendly and wear seashells as clothes and collect sparkly things and sing to the fish” is definitely appealing, 10/10, but let’s be realistic for a sec.

the ocean is scary as shit.

as humans, we have only explored about 5% of the ocean. meaning, we have seen very, very little of what lives in the ocean.

in that mere 5% we know about, while we have found some awesome stuff (coral reefs, starfish, dolphins, fish that glow!!!), we have found some absolute fucking monsters. huge sharks, giant squids, eels, some pretty freaky fish, the list goes on.

so, let’s be realistic.

you’re gonna look me in the eyes and tell me that all mermaids are dainty little figures with brightly coloured tails, long, flowing hair, big blue eyes and perfect white teeth? no. way.

show me the mermaids that live in the deepest parts of the ocean, of places man has never, and will never, get to. show me mermaids who hunt in packs, who don’t sing, but rather shrill and screech, or are so silent that you don’t notice them until it’s too late. show me the mermaids with grey, silver, multicolour, scaly skin and eyes that glow yellow in the dark and teeth that make great whites look friendly. show me the mermaids with coral and plankton and barnacles growing on their skin, with kelp in their hair.

give me mermaids who can camouflage into their enviorment, who can shoot ink, who can electrocute unsuspecting prey. give me giant mermaids with tails like eels or like jellyfish or like sharks, that will kill anything they see, that can cause tsunamis with a wave of their hands. give me mermaids who are ripped, with no hair, with fangs. give me mermaids with armour similar to crabs, with flesh harder than rock, with nails like talons. give me mermaids that have hidden themselves away from man in the furthest reaches of the depths, who have slowly evolved to look more monster than girl.

bring me the mermaids that no one wants to acknowledge, the ones that fuel nightmares and folk tales and urban legends.

bring me the diversity, the reality, of the ocean into mermaids.

Supreme Family/IronStrange Headcanons

Nobody told me Supreme Family was A Thing™? Why????

Stephen helps Peter obey his curfew.

If he’s in the middle of patrol at 11:58, a portal will suddenly open up in front of him and he’ll find himself swinging into his room by 11:59.

Tony is not amused.

Stephen: “What? You want him in by twelve, I get him in by twelve, what’s the problem?”

Tony gets frustrated and the fastest way to calm him down is to fluster him (which Stephen is very good at).

Peter has been complaining for months about an unfair teacher that hates him, and then report cards come in.

Straight A’s in all his classes, except that teacher’s, even though Peter did all the work and knows all the material.

The High Maintenance Dad Duo™ is absolutely not having it.

Stephen goes down to the school and spends no less than three (3) hours correcting every factual inaccuracy the teacher has ever said in his life.

Tony calls the principal/superintendent/any higher-up in the school system and has him fired within hour 1, but still listens as Magic Husband goes off on his ass.

The cloak has a serious interest in Peter’s happiness.

It’ll go with Peter to any convention or other Nerd Gathering™ as a part of Peter’s cosplay.

If someone tries to pick Peter’s pocket while he’s busy soaking up all the cool stuff everywhere, it will smack the hand away and Peter is none the wiser.

Peter will fall asleep on his homework or whatever he’s working on in the lab, and no matter how far away it is, the cloak will zoom to Peter to drape around his shoulders.

Approximately twenty-one (21) windows and seven (7) priceless artifacts at the sanctum have been broken this way.

If Tony or Stephen is already there with a blanket ready, the cloak will physically fight them to get to Peter first.

Stephen does something similar with Tony. He doesn’t get why Tony calls him a hypocrite for chastising the cloak.

I’ve got more that I’m gonna put in a part 2

SPN S8 Headcanon

In S8 whilst Castiel was going around helping people, don’t tell me that he didn’t hang around top suicide spots to stop people from ending it all.

Don’t tell me that he didn’t tell the trans and/or queer teen whose parents love God more than their own child that God is gone and never coming back.

Don’t tell me that he didn’t comfort the depressed teen who’s just been dumped by their boyfriend/girlfriend, that he didn’t tell them that there’s so much worth living for.

Don’t tell me that he didn’t teach the student with anxiety who continually worries about demons all the tricks to protect themselves against those sons of b*tches.

Don’t tell me that Castiel didn’t save hundreds of people from suicide, because he damn well did.

This is the money pentacle. Reblog and unexpected money will come to you!
