What if minecraft had a northern variation of the swamps?

"Travellers visiting the region note the appearance of strange blue lights, always hovering far out of reach. It is known that passing through the swamp during the hours of the day is completely safe, however, beware nightfall when the lights turn red."

no cause it's so great to see people be able to separate her as a person from loki because they are just fundamentally different people— variants or not, their backgrounds are different— but don't realise it's those differences that make them horrible for each other.

they do connect and it is a sweet thing but loki's character is tied on his need for validation from others whilr sylvie's character is focused on her independence and that's shown even more in season two where she's able to have friends and genuine connections but still always being by herself.

not out of lonelieness either it seems! she's known by so many people, she's made that timeline her own and still, she sticks to herself because that's what she knows. she chooses herself over all. she'll always choose herself. that's just how she is.

and loki, he'll choose his friends. he'll choose the people he cares about because he desperately wants to be loved by other people.

me: oh that's a good take on sylvie! i never thoght of that befo—

can’t stop thinking about my friend’s cishet partner who said last night that he doesn’t think anyone is the same gender. god-tier take.

website

friendly reminder that findtags is the best way to search tumblr’s absolutely destroyed tag system. it actually accurately looks through the tags without omitting results. it’s the only thing i use at this point because it’s the only thing that works

fuck i can’t believe i wasted my entire life being moved by art and beauty and the indomitable human spirit ugh i should’ve been making money through internet scams

people on this website be like “it’s actually school’s fault that i don’t know how to read because i wanted to write my essay on the divergent trilogy and that BITCH mrs. clarkson made us study 1984 instead. anyway here’s a 10 tweet thread of easily disproven misinformation about a 3 year old news story and btw, who is toni morrison?”

my least favourite thing about some people analysing media is their 'are they a good person?' moment—

you can enjoy a character while realising some of the things they do is a little messed up. sometimes that's the intrigue of it all. how you see them do this completely deranged thing all for this desperate, hopeful reason— a calculated, sinster reason.

it's all valid ! and it's all interesting ! it's all worth admiring and enjoying.

As a reminder that good exists out there, a coworker recently confessed to me that he found out his child is questioning their identity (kid's gender redacted for this post). The kid is keeping it from him, so he can't say anything to them or show that he knows, but he's doing his best to get mentally prepared and educated so that he'll be ready whenever his kid does feel comfortable enough come to him.

For context, this guy is a big, bulky middle aged dude who loves sports and typical outdoor "manly" activities. As his coworker and friend, I know he's a kind and sweet teddy bear of a person, but his kid probably views him as a stern, authoritarian figure, the way most teenagers view their parents. His family lives in a conservative area, so I'm sure between that, their dad's looks and interests, and the fact that their dad is a Figure of Authority, the kid is worried that they won't be accepted.

But you know what? When he found out about his kid, the first thing he did was reach out to his closest queer friend and ask for resources for parents of questioning children. His biggest fears are that his kid will be bullied or discriminated against and won't feel comfortable enough to be themself. His second action was to find himself a mentor in another parent who went the same situation (kid coming out in a conservative town). The other person is preparing him for some of the struggles his kid may face and the fights he may need to take on as a parent to make sure his kid is safe and treated well.

Something I want to emphasize for people focused on language as the primary method of allyship is that when we spoke, he used some outdated terms and thoughts about gender and sexuality. That does not make him bad. These were the terms and thinking used about questioning teenagers when he was growing up and he never needed to learn more current ones. But now that he does have that need, he's throwing himself in head first because that's his kid and he's darn well going to make sure that his kid feels welcomed and has a safe place to be themselves even if they never come out to him.

might get shot and killed for this but allo people only being able to categorize platonic relationships as "parental" or "siblings" is actually so embarrassing. have you never had friends before

nothing will ever amaze me the way fanfiction authors do. like, you wrote silly little stories about my favorite little guys? and i can read them?? for free??? that’s fucking wild.

you poured your heart and soul and very being into your writing and then put it out there for anyone to read? insane.

you spend a truly incredible amount of time writing novel-length, high quality stories, again, FOR FREE, that anyone can read, again, FOR FREE??

shoutout to every single fic author in existence, you guys are fucking incredible and i love all of you so much

i think it's an insult to both cDream AND cTommy to label the latter as solely a victim.

“their relationship is too deep to be sexual” what’s deeper than dick in hole. please tell me

the reason that c!techno is actually such a good character is because he did get exactly what he wanted through violent means. that was very much a thing that happened.

but afterwards, he still wanted to change and be better. he was shown violence worked but he went to c!niki and said 'this isn't what it should be about and i need to be a better example and i'm gonna work on that'.

it wasn't perfect. he wasn't perfect but he's a good example of someone deciding to change and better themself solely because it was the right thing to do.
