I just learned today that Blorbo is a made up term and NOT the main character in the Hobbit

Anon I’m obsessed with you

Fondly remembering the time that a cat owner casually entered their calico Maine Coon in a cat fancier’s competition and the judges lost their minds because the cat was 1) male and 2) able to bear children

Random tangent prompted by absolutely nothing but when ur talking about why JKR and Harry Potter are horrible stop bringing up the fact that Harry Potter's written badly. That doesn't matter. It could be the shittiest story in the world that wouldn't matter. BRING UP THE FACT THAT IT'S WRITTEN ANTISEMTICALLY AND RACISTLY. STOP BRINGING UP THE PLOT HOLES AND BAD MAGIC SYSTEM. BRING UP THE RACISM AND ANTISEMITISM AND WHATNOT. BRING UP THE FATPHOBIA. BRING UP THE PROBLEMATIC SHIT. HARRY POTTER BEING WRITTEN BADLY IS NOT THE PROBLEM HERE AND IT NEVER WILL BE

What's that bro? You began interacting with a media from a different country than yours and/or was made in time period different than the recent present day? Haha that's sick bro! Keep expanding your horizons bro! You're remembering to take into account that sociocultural norms, gender roles and genre expectations are different from what you are used to and meeting the story halfway, instead of forcibly superimposing your ideals into the story, right bro? Right? Right?

Evil universe fanfic tropes like. Selling One Direction To My Mum. Chastity Pollen. Way Too Many Beds. Pretending To Not Be Married.

“We need more complex fictional women” you guys can’t even handle Aziraphale

Just a reminder that Vincent van Gogh did not eat yellow paint to make himself feel happy, he ate paint, and drank different chemicals because he was suicidal and this is why he was not allowed in his studio while having breakdowns. He also did not paint starry night and his other great works because he was depressed, he painted most of them while he was in recovery and demonstrated his hopefulness and love of the world through this. Most of his great works were painted from his room at a hospital. Van Gogh’s depression should not be glorified. His hope and effort toward a better life, as well as his recovery from depression should be glorified.

If you noticed, in the last week or so, the daily reports of the number of Palestinians killed in Gaza would average ~120. And as grotesque as it sounds, I do feel like people for the most part have grown unaffected by the numbers. The reason I say this now comes from the fact that what was circulating the most in the past week was how all of Gaza is functioning on 6 ambulances or how all of 36 hospitals in Gaza are destroyed (which isn't entirely true). This honestly proves that while we need consistent advocacy, people do crave shock value even if misdirected unfortunately.

Not sure what the best way would be to tell all of you that every single Palestinian killed by Israel is one life too many and genocide does not have a specific threshold of number of people killed per day to qualify as such.

We need to be loud about Palestine and we need to be consistent. Make no mistake, this genocide might drag on for many reasons but at the end of the day, those who are facilitating it are counting on people losing momentum.
