Does anybody remember Dragon Tales? 🥺

you wouldn’t last an hour in the asylum where they raised me

Hannah Montana is fucked up because its entire POINT as a show is that children should be protected from fame and exploitation, but it stars a REAL little girl that's being exploited. Nearly every episode carries the looming threat of Miley being outed as Hannah and losing her peaceful teenage life to the ravages of fame. Her father in the show (played by her own father in real life) wisely protected her from the trauma of fame by making her wear a disguise and live a rather quiet, interview-free life. Meanwhile the REAL Billy Ray Cyrus sold his daughter to Disney Channel when she was 11 and forced her to read dialogue about how terrible it would be to face the public eye. Like... Jesus, dude. The fictional Robby Ray is 10x the father, and it's not even close. (It's also IMMENSELY funny that her dad doesn't use his real name in the show, while she does. Almost like he wanted a bit of a disconnect between his identity and his character. Something Miley didn't get.)

yeah, people do lie on the internet, however i am so passionate about things that if i lie it will feel like i committed an autistic sin

James baldwin’s the artists struggle for identity. Btw.

I love animals that are, like, the opposite of cryptids: we know for a fact they exist and have a clear idea of what they look like because we have photographs and individual specimens, but we haven’t the faintest idea where they’re coming from - they just keep showing up out of nowhere, and the locations of their actual population centres are a complete mystery.

as! is! her! RIGHT!

It's easy to think you'd be able to do something when you know that you'd never have to actually do it.

Thinking about it (Aragorn getting up early everyday to see the sun rise over the White City for Boromir, Merry and Pippin hearing Boromir's voice every time they pick up their daggers, Legolas and Gimli visiting Minas Tirith on the anniversary of his death or on his birthday, Frodo writing his book and reaching the part where Boromir attacks him and instead of being angry he sympathizes with Boromir and realises that he would have been the only one who would have understood why the ring tempted Frodo at the very end------)

Reblogging would be a great help, but don’t feel pressured to

ONLY MURDERS IN THE BUILDING 3.03 GRAB YOUR HANKIES

I understand some of you are 19 but that is not an old man, he's 32.

Anyway this is why I keep saying that people refuse to be normal about the idea of mixed race people and interracial relationships and communities happening and creating children.

I am black and black only until it is convenient to call me white. And it doesn't matter that I'm also native because I'm too black to be native anyway. I've talked about being multi-racial and having even further racial mixing in my extended family since I made this blog in 2014 but that doesn't matter if any of my racial mix can be used as a weapon against me.

Y'all complain about the stereotype of the tragic mulatto without understanding why that stereotype exists in the first place.

Something I do really love about The Tumblr Experience™️ is that you get everything. The whole blog, in order, not by popularity or (usually) tailored to fit an audience.

I followed this person for one thing, but this is a really gorgeous picture of a bird. A gifset of a movie I never would have seen. A poem about brothers or frogs or ribbon or love.

It's odd but it's meditative, almost. I think it's part of why mutuals, especially ones we don't really talk to, are such a specific phenomenon. I've never spoken to you, you stopped talking about the thing I followed you for forever ago, I don't even remember what it was, but I like seeing you there, still reblogging gifsets of 1990s cult classics and parasocially blogging about Bob Dylan.
