There’s no room for imposter syndrome when people are being paid to write supernatural

Cosmere Inktober Day 4: Portal

The Oathgate spren, it was the only related to portal that I remember well.

The first god children to know of are Ailbe and Edna, the blackbird wolves. Twin sisters, similar in appearance but very different in power. Ailbe, six minutes older, excels in the magic of sight. Children in the blackbird clan often have the ability to see through the eyes of the many crows that circle Shepherd’s Valley, however none can see quite so clearly as Ailbe. Edna, younger and faster, is the expert of the other blackbird child ability: obfuscation. Not quite invisibility, but a shield of misperception that allows her to travel undetected. 

“I’m going to nitpick this wording and ignore the actual point you made because I don’t have a counter to that and it’s fucking obvious.”

Alright, fine. Rephrase, I’m not saying you have to be attracted to or interested in trans people. I really don’t give a single shit about your personal life or what qualifications play in to who you choose to pursue. Also, I know a shitload of CIS people who don’t care about trans people calling themselves gay/lesbian. In fact, I know more cis LESBIANS who don’t give a shit (and actually find the likes of your side abhorrent) than ones who do. 

And disregarding that entirely, I don’t really give a shit about that EITHER because my point was actually about CIS GAY PEOPLE who date trans people and choose to call themselves gay. Of which I know MANY because I’m actually involved in this community outside of tumblr. I go out and meet people in person and shake their hands and get to know them. So sorry that one shrieking banshee on tumblr isn’t going to change my mind or persuade me to change my stance. 

“sexuality is a spectrum” was supposed to mean “bisexuality exists and isn’t necessarily a 50/50 split” not “no one is actually homosexual”

M’kay, darling.

“sexuality is a spectrum” was supposed to mean “bisexuality exists and isn’t necessarily a 50/50 split” not “no one is actually homosexual”

I think they means like... locker rooms? Changing room.

But still. Trans people aren't going into public changing rooms and revealing themselves that's 1) how you get hate crimed and 2) UM DYSPHORIA INDUCING AS ALL HECK the thing this person is trying to protect themselves and "the children" from is a thing that does not actually happen

Even when I was at the beach in OREGON with my sister, I used women's public restrooms. It might have been Oregon, but I'm not risking an encounter with a dickwipe like the one in this screenshot. Do I look like I belong in the women’s bathroom? No. Have I had women come in, see me, and assume they were in the wrong bathroom because I was standing by the sink? Yeah. A few times, actually. But my voice is still high enough that it's easy for me to “prove” I'm biologically female if I have to. It’s safer for me that way.

this is gross of course but I'm stuck on the implication that men Need to see penis in the bathroom or it's a human rights violation

I love being a fully fledged adult who has a job and washes his clothes and sheets regularly and knows how to cook for himself and has a regular sleep schedule and walks his dog every day.

This isn’t a joke. I’m tired of posts that treat functioning adulthood like an impossible standard. Those are out. Respecting yourself and striving to learn to be independant is in.

i’m really over the idea that customers deserve unconditional respect from employees like nah bitch you deserve back the exact amount of respect you enter the store with. you throw a tantrum in public? you deserve to be escorted out in front of everyone and i hope it’s humiliating for you. you try to come in after close and don’t take “we’re closed” as an answer? you deserve to be told to leave and ignored. you insult the people providing services to you? you deserve to be refused service. if you don’t behave like a damn adult with impulse control and basic compassion, no one personally owes you a fucking thing my dude 

There should always be the option to give no award. Sorry, no best movie this year, everyone was bad!

I’ve always heard those “all animals are good, except wasps are the spawn of satan” jokes and kind of nodded along before one day I just. Realized. I’ve never had a negative run-in with any wasps. Ever. Usually when one is nearby, it approaches me, buzzes around exactly like a bee would, and then leaves me alone. 

Here’s a fun fact: There are no animals or creatures out there at all who will just attack you or anyone else for the sake of attacking you. Starting unnecessary fights is the fastest way to get yourself killed in the wild, and any species that widely fought everything around it for sport would have already driven itself extinct. If something is attacking for seemingly “for no reason,” chances are there IS a reason. That reason might be disease, it might be personal space, or it might be that the animal felt threatened. 

Just because you don’t immediately know what the reason for that behavior is doesn’t mean there’s not one.

We need to better educate kids on the importance of animals that are typically hated because otherwise you end up with adults who think hating wasps is a personality.

Harry Potter and the Bisexual Awakening - Part One of Three (Part 2+3) A very slight adjustment to That Scene featuring a smol grumpy Harry and a tol, very helpful Cedric. (And a dodgy use of the dialogue from the movie mostly, too)

This maybe sounds a little harsh and I know it’s tempting but… don’t spend money on gacha games. Don’t. Don’t ever. Don’t even start. I’m perfectly aware that they’re all deliberately set up to incline you to spend money on them but I promise you even if you DO get what you’re whaling for it will not be worth the $100+ you spent on it.

I just discovered foodtimeline.org, which is exactly what it sounds like: centuries worth of information about FOOD.  If you are writing something historical and you want a starting point for figuring out what people should be eating, this might be a good place?

One day Edward gets a call from Jacob and he’s like “DUDE TURN ON GHOST ADVENTURES RIGHT NOW THEY’RE TALKING ABOUT YOU” and they’re in an old “haunted” Chicago hospital and Zak Bagans says “one of the victims of the Spanish influenza was a seventeen year old boy named Edward who disappeared with no trace one day. Will we come into contact with his spirit tonight?” And Edward of course has to sit down and watch the whole thing and every time they hear anything they’re like “EDWARD? IS THAT YOU?” And Edward just yells at the screen “YEAH, MAYBE”

The family eventually gets a whiteboard to keep track of how many times they’ve each been featured on a ghost hunting show. Alice is in the lead.

I literally can't stop fucking thinking about this it's the funniest thing I've ever read in my life

you little fucker
