🤣 Crazy part about it, is that Tenoch does not really start with anyone. He calls out racism and colorism then the white Mexicans get mad. 🤣
That’s to be expected of the palm colored folk. 😂
We love a man that’s not afraid to call them on their bullshit

Hey! I will like to participate in your exchange reading!
For you I will be answering which fictional character does you future spouse represent?
I don’t know why but once I started thinking for you I channelled your future spouse to be similar to superman in a sense there is a duality in their personality on one hand they may seem really gentleman, intelligent and geeky types but on other times they may seem like a force to be reckoned with. Regardless, your future spouse seems like a generous and charitable human who thinks about welfare of other people. But anyway for some reason I channel a duality in their personality or they are just mysterious which always makes you discover something new about them.
I would like you to answer how will I recognise my fs? For me.
My initials are H.T. and aries sun.
Thank youu!! 💖💖
Hello there! 😻
I hope you're doing well! Thank you so much for participating!
Feedback for my reading
I love how you picked up on the duality and mysterious nature. I've been told that he'll keep me on my toes (well, I love that because my gemini mercury gets bored very easily). Generous and philanthropic? Gosh! I wanna meet this man already. I'd love me a Superman in human form haha. Thank you for answering such a fun question🙋
Now onto your reading,
How will you recognize your FS:
Your FS is someone who is very vocal about his beliefs. He could love studying politics, law and subjects like sociology (I'm getting the book Animal Farm). He likes observing how the society works, and he'd be very annoyed by casteism, racism, homophobia etc. He could be an activist of some sort. He wants to be the face of a cause. He wants to contribute towards equality. He's very diplomatic too. He doesn't believe in violence. He knows how to kill with kindness. He's very thoughtful, intelligent, just and fair. He does everything with zeal and zest. I see him enjoying prayer too. He could be into meditation🧘‍♀️💭 He misses his guides hints tho 🙄 Haha I don't know if he's just dipping his toes into spirituality or is really into it the way we believe it :P Moving on, you're gonna recognize him after some sort of an emotional awakening. I see you coming to the realization suddenly. He'll do something to awaken your emotions and feelings and thats when you'll recognize him. His soul. It's like until yesterday you saw him as a friend and didn't want to take it any further but today you see him in an entirely different light. Ngl, you would be very naive and ignorant of this connection 😭but I see a transformation taking place. A spiritual transformation, you may call it. You're gonna feel very intense emotions for him (do you have scorpio placements) they're gonna be activated. You'll feel very attached to him, almost obsessive, it could scare you how much you can feel for a person.
Side note: You could be in a long distance relationship at first/he could be at a physical distance from you. I see him being very generous with his time tho. He's gonna wanna make it work even though the timezones are so different! Cute. :')

Some of my family in Korea were texting me about what the Israeli embassy there did and they are losing their minds that they’re losing the information war
They first sent a letter to the Green Party (one of the political parties there who stood up for palestinas but repeating “from the river to the sea”) in English, addressing the wrong party then claiming that the phrase was illegal when 1. why was this copy and paste letter in ENGLISH when they’re in Korea 😭 2. The phrase isn’t illegal there, that’s some American bs law and 3. The letter wasn’t properly written so the Green Party leader ripped up that letter live
And then there was that propaganda video the embassy release then deleted when they tried to warn Koreans of how awful Palestinians are, when we’re very aware of the real history we have of women and children being taken and beaten. We don’t need fake propaganda saying “what if this was you”, we have the violent history of comfort women that is very recent. But the Israeli embassy didn’t care to learn about that.
This is so embarrassing but also cruel. They didn’t care to write a supposedly important letter in Korean while being the embassy IN KOREA then try to feed actual Koreans fear propaganda of something that actually happened to us,
lmao they're so dumb This is so disrespectful and embarrassing. How does an ambassador don't even speak the language of the country he's working from?? 💀 Ripping that letter live was such a power move lmao I had no idea Korean Green party was savage like that 👀
Yeah Israel is definitely losing the information war, and the more they're freaking out about and desperately try to pull out more and more nonsensical stunt, the deeper their grave is gonna be 💀
I feel like those people got so used to the "that's antisemitic!!" card to be enough to shut down any contradiction or criticism of their government, that they're seriously taken aback and fail finding onto any other argument that doesn't resort to guilt ripping or emotionalism. Unfortunately, their awful behavior blown on the embers of a lingering antisemitism and NGL they are having a field day on social medias rn And no, their profil aren't the queer leftists Zionists LOVE pointing fingers at when it comes to explain the rise of antisemitism (last time I checked, it was "libertarian"/rightoid Elon Musk who allowed such opinions to be allowed out in the open - not some lgbt activist okay?)
I mean, look at how confused Zionists are whenever we tell them we are also against the Hamas lol
or when CHRISTIAN tell them to keep our name out of their mouth and stop using us as props against the Islamist menace, because they are the biggest Jesus haters (FYI at least Muslims acknowledge Jesus as a prophets so they're unlike to cuss him out like religious jews do on the regular) Authentic Christians are as much against Islam as they are against Judaism - who are, as a reminder, a cult that doesn't acknowledge Jesus as the Messiah and hated him so much they conspirated to have him crucified. None of that happened because of Muslims (who didn't even exist yet) so I reaaaally recommend the Christians thinking judaism is Christianism biggest ally against islamist to read the Bible.

Hi! Yaqui anon (again lol) So I was doing some thinking about what you were saying in your responses, and ngl, I think I’m at another crossroads. You really emphasized the importance of connection when it comes to reconnecting, and I realized that, to my knowledge, there are no family members, either immediate or extended, who are enrolled in the tribe or practice the culture. The only thing I have is basically a family story and information online that could honestly be inaccurate (I think I mentioned that I saw tribes connected to ancestors in my research online, though I’d ideally like to actually view the uploaded records and not rely on information that anyone could input and that isn’t actually based on data from records (literally just learned that today so yayyy 🙃🙃) Unfortunately I can’t view the records that might have ancestors’ tribes listed on them without a paid subscription to the site.
I’m not going to lose all hope of trying to reconnect just yet and I’m still going to reach out to relatives, distant and not so distant, for any info, but rn it’s looking like reconnecting and claiming I’m Yaqui may not be my place. I won’t lie and say the thought isn’t upsetting to me, but I know I’ll get over it, and better to figure that out and come to terms with it now than insert myself in spaces that aren’t mine. If you have any advice— maybe I’m missing something— I’d appreciate it very much! Thank you again for being so gracious and informative with your former replies. Take care and be well 🌸
Ill put this one under a cut just in case it gets long. sorry if its not best written. i had to take an edible for body spasms so im a little drowzy
connection isnt just to family since someone could not have family or want contact and thats fine. my dad is Yaqui but hes not Yoeme. hes just Yaqui by blood. Also hes a bigot. He SAYS he cares and wish that he could learn but i think hes lying and would rather just be white. he also says no one on the yaqui side wants to talk to him. like huh really? i wonder why, trumper??
connection is more for community. connection looks a lot of ways, not just talking to people, not just learning. like for me, language is what makes me feel connected. even though im just learning.
for someone else it might be activism. it might be talking to someone in the same boat as you. it might be listening to music, or gettinf envolved. connection could be donating for projects that benifit the community if thats all you can do.
and especially for reconnecting its not going to happen all at once. its going to be rocky, and its going to be drawn out. there is never going to be a time where it all falls into place and you can check reconnected off on a list
it can be as much or as little. but there has to be some tether. like i said, just taking a title and then doing absolutely nothing isnt it. like..
ok so im trans and disabled. big identities for me. i never know when pride is, or trans day of visibility. i dont know news about trans issues unless i see it on my dash. sometimes if i read stuff that doesnt effect me, or even does, i dont feel anything. or rather im not emotionally affected. basically, i support trans rights 100%, just sometimes some things feel meh even if its dire. if that makes sense. i still care!
but being trans makes me happy and proud and that is just who i am. i am always trans. even when im not in the community actively. and this can also be attributed to passing, white privilege, etc.
and with disability its the same, even if its something that is very relevant to me. thats just how my adhd mind is.
and i felt bad about it for a long time bc i felt, of im really trans or really disabled then i have to be an activist and do the most and fight for the community!! but theres nothing wrong with being in the community but engaging when you feel like it
so connection is going to be tailored to you, and whats relevent to you as a person. like identities always sounds like.. a jacket? but its just you. strip everything away and being disabled, being trans, being native, being a religion is still there.
again its never going to feel enough which is why you have to focus on you rather than how youre percieved. its so hard lol. at least for me.
But in terms of proof, im in a slightly similar boat? My cousin has papers which he says he has that indicate that my great grandma was full Yaqui. which lines up bc (BQ talk for sake of thr conversation) im 1/8th, which makes my dad 1/4th, and my grandma half. i think my grandma. and then my great grandma as 100%. which unfortunately i never got to meet. ive also been told he thinks a cousin lives on the rez in arizona. but other than that i dont know anyone other than my cousin who is connected or even attempting to reconnect
So again it lines up. but its really hard to get that info. and getting that info is especially hsrd when you have anxiety or are shy. which can seem like
well if its important enough, then you can work through it and should. but thats why we have to focus on us. push a little past what makes us comfortable, but ultimately dont beat yourself up for not being able to interact with people.
and youre so right, i think you have a great mindset- because yeah its not about searching to be native or yaqui. its not fingers crossed let me be native
its about a missing puzzle piece. and if the puzzle piece you find is actually not the one you thought it was, what matters is still finding the right piece
also i would love to know where u get your info and that subscription site, unless its the ancestry.com shit. that makes me mad. everytime it shows up with info it gives me a money screen
also if you want if youre on ancestry.com or 23andme we can add each other. who knows maybe we're related lol only if youre down. ill give my name so you dont have to publicly. but you said youre shy so its cool if no
otherwise idk how anyone does genealogy. like my jewish side has a lot of info and italian from one of my cousins who collected a bunch of stuff. and then on my dads side it goes to my grandma and it doesnt fill anything in.
but yeah even if you dont feel comfortable claiming yaqui yet, you can still connect to the native community
and at the end of the day a lot of native ppl dont know their tribe they decend from. they are still native. just from an unknown tribe. which is sad to not know but like, its not their fault. it feels shitty to say youre not native anymore bc colonization ttok away records and knowledge of your heritage.
like i think one some people do is support their local tribe. get involved locally.
unfortunately i dont have much info to give bc like i said im in a similar boat. im shy and anxious so its hard for me to talk to people, so seeking that info overwhelming
and then bugging my cousin sucks
but since you seem to have a little less to work on.. idk. maybe sign up for 23andme AND ancestry so that you have a wider net for family members that you can contact
otherwise maybe getting a genealogist to help you
and yeah its ok to not claim anything. Theres no rush! you can still be in the native community and support
sorry if i missed anything

Hello love!! Can I get a male ship of Marvel, GoT and Vikings?? 🙈
I’m a photographer and social activist from the North of Spain, very interested in politics and meeting new cultures. I wish to travel the world with my camera and use my photography as a way of opening people's eyes to other realities. I started writing as a way of expressing my feelings since I tend to keep them to myself and now my house is full of notebooks and diaries. My music taste is rock, folk and country as the main ones but I listen to literally any genre. I'm a very social person and I love my big family but it's really important for me to have time for myself too. I love train rides, nature, reading with a cup of tea warming my hands and art. I started studying music when I was eight and I've been in a bunch of bands as singer and guitarist. I love sitcoms and I laugh at almost everything. I'm a sucker for board games and I'm always the friend of the group who annoys the rest with new plans. When I'm older I'd like to live in the countryside on a big house with a lot of children and animals running around. I'm a libra, hufflepuff, enfp, with rock/grunge/hippie style, 5'4ft with light-brown hair and brown-hazel eyes. To my grandma dismay I have tattoos and my ears are full of ear rings. I consider myself as a passionate, goofy, sweet, positive and naive person. I have a lot of issues in the "dating" area haha it's really hard for me to find someone who I have romantic interest in (more than just physical attraction) and open up to them. I'm the kind of person who prefers to not be attached to anyone but then misses having someone to cuddle with. As I said I good at making friends but not at showing vulnerability and love scares me sometimes.
Hope it wasn't too much information😅😅
Sending lots of love, Rach💖
I SHIP YOU WITH...
BJORN IRONSIDE
Tumblr media
Just like you, Bjorn is drawn to foreign lands. He's curious about other cultures and beliefs, which is probably how the two of you would meet. Completely unplanned and by chance. It was a coincidence, really, that the two of you would meet while exploring a country unknown to both of you, you'd say. But Bjorn would call it fate. The two of you quickly notice the many similarities between you and soon you would be making new plans together. What attracts him to you first, other than your looks, is your unique and creative view on the world around you. He could listen to your ideas and visions forever, only stopping you whenever he has a thought of how to make the experience even better. Another thing he admires is your love and loyality to your family. With his own joining in, the two of you might be in for some trouble though, as it gets bigger and bigger and bigger. But then again, that might not be so bad. The two of you are so often away on your travels, that it is pleasant to be home once in a while, even if it might gets chaotic with your relatives, his brothers and all his nephews and nieces running around. It is quite understandable that you might need some time for just you after that, even if he might be reluctant to let you go at first (mostly because he's nervous something might happen to you out of his sight). Nevertheless he enjoys quiet evenings with only the two of you a lot. Snuggled into some fur, with some hot drinks to warm you up, there is nowhere he would rather be.
I SHIP YOU WITH...
BUCKY BARNES
Tumblr media
Bucky is the right fit for you. He would steal glimpses at you when you first meet, but he would be quite reluctant to approach you. It would definetely take a long time before the two of you reach the level to have truly deep conversations with each other, but as soon as the step is taken, he gets much more comfortable. Since he isn't bound by a company like Tony, or a Kingdom like T'Challa, Bucky can freely accompany you on your adventures. He'd be fascinated by your work and drive all around the planet with you, preferably with one of you behind the wheel of a car, blasting your favorite music from the radio. Bucky would also be intruiged if you tell him about your time as a singer and guitarist. He probably even ask you to teach him to play (or learn it behind your back to surprise you). Family-wise he would be overwhelmed by so many members at first, being awfully silent when meeting them, until you give him a nudge to put on a smile. But don't worry, he'll get better at that, even if it takes some time. In addition to that, Bucky would never judge you for needing some alone-time. In fact, he feels the same way and understands it perfectly if you prefer some time for yourself once in a while.
I SHIP YOU WITH...
DAARIO NAHARIS
Tumblr media
The best man to keep you safe in this case is Daario Naharis, and you will meet him when you least expect it. Once you have captured his interest, he doesn't hesitate for long. In fact, he doesn't hesitate at all. Despite his obviously flirtatious behavior, Daario carries himself with confidence around you, impressing you most with his knowledge about other cultures and especially the many languages he speaks (which is quite helpful ngl). He is able to show you the wildest and most untouched secret places wherever you travel, where there is nobody but the two of you. He is charming and always calm (seriously he gets never nervous or anxious) allowing you to get comfortable around him quickly. In addition to that he can fit in very quickly and has a lot of stories to tell, which is a big plus when meeting your family (he is in their favor so quickly, it's ridiculous). When your desire for alone-time arises he would play to be offended at first, tough when you don't let him off the hook he might say something the lines of: "alone with me, right?" It might take him some time to get it, not gonna lie, but eventually he'd get it. Without a doubt, he is the one able to make you laugh the most. He shares your love for boardgames and does not mind a future with a hoard of children at all.
A/N: Hey Rach! Thank you so much for that lovely ask (there is no such thing as too much information here, haha). Can i just say you seem super sweet and i really hope you like who i've picked out for you! Thank you!

Do you know any ChengQing fics that address the fact that JC wanted WWX to leave WQ's family to die, and that he is very much not a zombie rights activist WRT WN? Or actually killed her family in novel verse but that may be too far lol. I'm 1000% here for ships with conflict but ngl most stuff I've seen seems to either have her brush it off or leave it as the most awkward elephant in the room lol. I just can't see her being okay with that just bc he's hot and has good fashion sense.
I haven’t read a lot of post canon chengqing fic! The premise of most of the aus I’ve read is that he changes his mind, or it never comes up in the first place, which is what gives them the chance to get together. If anyone else has recs, please let me know!
I think that while she’d probably have a lot of feelings about it- I definitely agree that it would not be something she’d be ok with on hotness grounds- I’m also not sure those feelings would be a straightforward condemnation. One of the things I like about them is that their starting moral positions are pretty similar. She also wants to protect her particular people before all else and is extremely devoted to her family! While she wavers in that conviction, it never extends to open rebellion or support for their enemies, which is what Mingjue is being so stubborn about. Of course Jiang Cheng is in a more powerful and autonomous position than she was, but I think based on the deal she struck with WRH- she’ll serve him loyally as he embarks on his genocidal conquest, including spying for him so he can locate essential resources that will make him basically invincible and running his supervisory office; in exchange no one touches the Dafan Wen- she has a pretty good understanding of why he might choose to prioritize the well being of his people over the well being of other people and she’s not wholly unsympathetic to that choice. She seems to basically respect his position and think he’s doing, if not the right thing, at least an understandable thing that is in line with his responsibilities. She has two separate opportunities to tell him about the core transfer and try to cash in on that favour, or ask him for help more generally and she pretty vehemently does the opposite of that. She tells him they’re even and strongly suggests that helping her entire family is impossible for him to do, before adding that she IS a Wen and will be sticking with her people (the same way, I think, he’d stick with his). When she asks him if he’d have helped I don’t think it’s because she thinks he’s a terrible person who would have ignored the obviously correct thing to do for petty reasons; I think she is pretty intimately aware of what it can mean for the choices of the aristocracy to trickle down to the people they’re responsible for, as evidenced by all the innocent people she is responsible for who are punished for her uncle’s choices (and arguably for her choices, that she made to protect them, it is always crying about Wen Qing times). And also because the Jin are sadistic assholes and the Nie are down with collective punishment and Xichen didn’t want to fight with Mingjue about it but that’s a side issue.
And in the end she does turn herself, her brother, and her people over to the Jin to save Wei Wuxian. She basically follows Jiang Cheng’s exact plan but two years later. Is it a rejection of her previous my-people-first-philosophy? An outgrowth of the fact that Wei Wuxian is one of her people now too, and she thinks the Wen are doomed but maybe they can still save him? She’s functionally trying to undo the sacrifice he made when he saved them, and tells him they should have died in the camps; I do not think that implies she thinks he owed it to them.
I personally actually do think he owed it to them, and also that Jiang Cheng owed them more help than he gave. In CQL trying to turn them over to save his brother is the most fucked up thing he does by far (and it’s very fucked up!), but I also think the peasants going to die for Wei Wuxian is bullshit and honestly prefer the novel on that point. Wen Qing and I are clearly not in agreement about ethics in feudalism, is what I’m getting at here. Anyway I’d love to read fic that gets into any of this and I turn anon’s request for recs over to you all.

idk if you're looking for feedback for Jaden, but I work with a lot of folks with disabilities. Muteness and vocal chord issues aren't my particular disability so feel free to disregard for any reason. Just based on my experience, whenever it comes to "corrective" surgery, it's a multi-layered decision, based on the risks associated with the surgery (i.e. cochlear implant is a risky procedure), the inconvenience of the adaptive surgery (i.e. is there disfiguring scarring, painful healing process, etc.), cost obviously, availability of a proficient surgeon, support from family and adaptive devices (say, a wheelchair is exactly what they want and need for mobility), and sometimes an attachment to the identity associated with the disability, such as the deaf and hard of hearing community. I also am pals with a guy who's a disability rights activist who talks really passionately about not taking such a route because there's nothing wrong with him, the world just isn't built for people like him. You seem like a thoughtful creator, so maybe you've already thought about all of this!
Yeah, I have thought about this, but it was something I was hesitant to speak on in the initial post since Jaden has a disability that I do not have :’D I guess it feels weird to discuss for that reason?
There is the sort of struggle of what I should do--correcting a disability to better fit in with the world around you, or to demand a world to change for you and those who share your struggles. The latter is, of course, preferred--as you said, there isn’t anything wrong with having a disability. Even if Jaden’s is based off of an injury he received as a child, it is still a part of his character. He gets along fine with whispering and signing, but he’s still at a pretty big disadvantage as well, which causes the dilemma in the first place. Of course, if the surgery has a high fatality rate or has a high rate of something going wrong, then it would of course be something he wouldn’t consider. I already have an “alternative” for him having a voice, which was based on this device and some Ultimate Inventor Creativity. (Honestly I’m surprised no one has thought of using this kind of gesture technology with sign language and text to speech programs. At least if they exist, I haven’t seen them!)
And that is something I want to portray with his character--that he shouldn’t have to get a surgery for the world to accept him or at least for him to be treated well (I.E. because he’s not deaf and not even 100% mute he doesn’t fit in with the deaf or mute communities (A lot of his character has to do with being left behind/being an outcast and sort of isolated, so his experience isn’t meant to be a 1 to 1 with how these things would happen in reality (or at least I’d hope not) but alas) but he is also constantly put in a straining/mentally taxing position by able-bodied people as his disability is not obvious)  at the same time, what is more in character for Jaden to do himself? Look into and possibly get the corrective surgery, since he lives in a world that will probably not change for him in his life time, or does he not? It’s a matter of pros and cons for him, and something he (well, I) would have to research further into.
Then again... NGL, I really forgot about that “Sign to Speech” idea I had back when Jaden was completely mute and before I found out that damaging your vocal chords doesn’t actually make you 100% mute. I guess I scrapped the invention since it didn’t seem like a real tool that was available (as far as I’m aware, please let me know if I’m wrong!) but honestly maybe I’ll just, give that back to him. That’s the kind of solution we should be seeing in our world, after all!
Hmmm....
I’m also like, super god damn sleepy--so my brain isn’t functioning 100% right now xD;
Also thank you I do try to be thoughtful and stuff when it comes to my characters and this sort of this :’D

Probably an unpopular opinion but I think his messaging in his interviews has been pretty consistent. His logic is just dumb. He’s basically saying the intimacy he’s revealing is that he was chasing a girl that broke his heart, and the who doesn’t matter so much as how everyone can relate to that kind of feeling.
But like, no shit. Who wouldn’t assume he’s had his heartbroken by now… he’s 40… he’s no spring chicken who hasn’t experienced love. To him tho, I think he thinks that’s revealing a very vulnerable part of himself bc compared to before, it’s actually something personal. Which is true in a way, that is more than what he’s ever said before about his love life, but it’s just information that people would assume anyways so it feels anticlimactic. But everything about Ben is a a bit anticlimactic to me lol. I also hate his singing face, he makes the nastiest looking grimaces 😂
Btw the more interviews he gives about 11:11 the less I think it’s about Ms Inbred Blackface Asshole Exorcist. People keep saying he’s trying to distance himself from her bc of the backlash but when has Ben ever been smart enough to do that?? If anything he’s so stubborn he doubles down. Everyone and their mom was dragging him about his like over her racist activist shit and he not only didn’t unlike, he liked her apology too. He knows exactly how all his fans feel about her. The thirsty gays, the thirsty teens, and the thirsty moms all shade each other about being bad fans but everyone unites to talk mad shit about her and he’s tagged in it too. He’s been fending off criticism about her for 2 years. That hasn’t changed his continued association to her at all.
So I don’t think his trying to clarify that it isn’t about her is him deflecting for an extra 15 albums sales from would be disgruntled fans, I genuinely don’t think it’s about her. I do believe she told him about it tho. She’s the only one of his known acquaintances that’s into this kind of “clap trap.” And it would also explain why she keeps associating herself to it while he really hasn’t. And why 11:11 doesn’t even feel like it’s really part of the song? It feels like he just tacked it onto the first verse to get a theme going about wishes
Not unpopular at all. He is quite consistent, to the point of boring, and it all seems nonsensical if ye think about it. Just said in the ask before. Generic is what it is.
Anticlimactic and underwhelming. All the secret messages and uuuuuu it’s time uuuuu. And we only gonna get an EP, which is fair and fine cuz EP is a debut go to, but some of the fans (darklina fangirls mostly) were hoping for a full album.
The thirsty gays, the thirsty teens, and the thirsty moms all shade each other about being bad fans but everyone unites to talk mad shit about her and he’s tagged in it too.
Beautiful words ngl
And I do think the song is about her. Or at least some parts of it. The 11:11 is apparently the time when ye make a wish (if ye like 11) so it makes sense to call a song about one two three wishes like that?
The chasing part or whatever. The I wanna you but ye can’t be mine. Saw some speculation that it might have been written back in 2020 when she was reconciling with Brooksy.
Who knows the truth. Well, I can point to at least 2 individuals, Brooksy's opinion would be nice too.
Lemme just add that people have been mocking him for almost two years now, for being involved with her. TWO FUCKING YEARS. The 11:11 is so much her thing that it hurts my eyes. YET he decided to name the song like that. No one made him (hopefully lol), he could have called it Never Our Time or Bullshit Lovesong for all I care, and that would fit well too? Maybe lol? But no. He went for the claptrap he does not believe in. At this point not associating the two together is wishful thinking xdd

just letting u know the doc that ezra made about that racist killer cop wasn't actually made to sympathise w him as ezra partnered w a blm activist to make it. it was actually to prove that darren wilson is a liar. with that being said tho people hAVE pointed out that the doc was still a bad idea regardless as it was unnecessary exploitation as they're p much capitalising off the deaths of black ppl. just thought i'd clear that up, that it wasn't actually a pro cop doc but still complete trash.
first  of  all  ?   thank  u  for  not  being  rude  or  aggressive  UEIJDNMD  .   i  really  appreciate  it  !
i  digged  deeper  before  answering  this  because  i  never  paid  attention  to  them  and  the  only  reason  i  know  abt  the  assault  is  because  it  was  trending  on  twt  ,   and  all  this  is  new  information  to  me  .   i  didn’t  find  anything  where  they  explicitly  said  they  sympathize  or  that  it  was  made  for  that  purpose  ,   but  they  did  say  that  the  impulse  behind  the  short  was  to  “try  and  find  ‘that  mettle’  to  seek  a  way  to  personify  and  close  the  gap  between  us  and  darren  wilson”  ,   and  that  …   doesn’t  sound  right  to  me  .   maybe  it’s  not  explicit  sympathizing  ,   but  it  sounds  an  awful  lot  like  that  .   closing  the  gap  between  a  man  that  committed  a  hate  crime  and  the  rest  of  us  ?   yeah  …   it  doesn’t  rub  me  the  right  way  .   and  that  statement  is  quite  literally  followed  by  the  sentence  ,  quote  unquote  ,   “this  is  an  issue  beyond  race”  .   i  don’t  …   think  i  have  to  explain  how  and  why  the  history  of  white  male  cops  killing  black  people  in  america  is  ,   in  fact  ,   an  issue  about  race  and  a  deeply  rooted  one  at  that  ,   and  why  a  response  like  that  is  ignorant  at  best  .
even  if  we  ignore  all  that  ,   and  acknowledge  that  the  short  film  wasn’t  pro  cop  although  it  shed  light  on  something  people  apparently  were  already  aware  of  ,   there’s  still  the  fact  that  it  was  an  awful  idea  and  does  nothing  but  exploitate  and  capitalize  off  the  deaths  of  black  people  like  you  and  other  people  have  pointed  out  ,   which  i  strongly  agree  with  ,   i  think  it’s  very  distasteful  and  lacks  tact  ,   on  top  of  being  .   plain  messed  up  .
what  i  get  from  this  doesn’t  really  matter  that  much  ,   but  i  think  if  they  stuck  to  making  the  short  film  and  kept  what  they  thought  to  be  a  revolutionary  thought  to  themselves  (  or  better  then  :   don’t  even  think  that  bs  ?  )  ,   while  it  would  still  be  problematic  and  wrong  ,   it  may  not  have  been  perceived  as  badly  .   but  when  ,   on  top  of  making  such  a  tasteless  film  that  was  a  really  bad  decision  no  matter  how  you  look  at  it  ,    you  process  what  was  said  about  closing  a  gap  and  how  it’s  beyond  racism  (  link  to  the  article  .   what  was  said  after  just  …   yeah  .  )    ,   and  add  all  the  claims  ,   Multiple  ,  of  how  stuck  up  ,  selfish  and  prepotent  ezra  seems  to  be  from  people  who  have  personally  met  them  ,   with  one  of  them  being  this  friend  of  a  friend  showing  them  their  idea  and  proposing  to  work  on  it  together  just  for  ezra  to  basically  say  ,   “no  ,   i’m  famous  ,   you’re  not  ,   so  i’ll  take  (  read  :   steal  )  the  idea  and  do  it  myself”  ,   even  when  i  try  to  take  it  with  a  grain  of  salt  …   the  idea  i  get  is  that  he’s  a  piece  of  shit  ,   and  it  reeks  of  ulterior  motives  and  just  a  person  who  is  way  too  self - absorbed  and  a  lot  more  i’m  unable  to  articulate  because  of  lack  of  words  and  ngl  ,   brain cells uisekddsj  .

ngl as someone who is part of the queer community, the continued insertion of straight celebs into queer events because they have played a queer character or played up to queer audiences really pisses me off. and that's not a dig at darren himself, i love him and i know he's a committed ally, it's an issue i have with the entertainment industry in general and their inability to hold queer events without token straight(s) involved. i'm surprised katy perry and joe jonas aren't on the list tbh.
Different anon asked:
I’ve seen a lot of people (mostly on twitter) talking about being a little uncomfortable with Darren going to that Queer Prom, since he’s not actually queer. While I usually disagree when people complain about him getting too much attention as an ally, I kind of agree in this case. It seems a little strange for him to be involved in something that’s supposed to be specifically for queer people. I’m curious about your opinion on this, because I always love reading your thought on these subjects.
Gleekto says:
So I want to say that I think this issue of ally of x being involved in x - in issues of representation to events to whatever is so much more complicated than I have ever seen remotely well articulated on tumblr. I so often see posts, for example, saying “Can straight actors stop playing gay roles!” and all I can tell you is that isn’t a world I want to see at all.  And I say that as someone who is desperate to see disabled people acting their own (and others) stories and trans people acting their own and others stories - Because there virtually are none. Honestly, I cannot even get into this on tumblr really except to say that context matters to me a lot.
So - the queer prom context. So here is the goal of the prom:
“With prom season in full swing, Buzzfeed is shaking things up for high schoolers in the best way possible. The media platform is tapping big-name celebrities and major influencers in the LGBT community to throw its first-ever Queer Prom, a star-studded, red-carpet-style bash at Siren Studios in Hollywood on Saturday, May 13. The once-in-a-lifetime event will celebrate “everything a high school prom should be,” according to Buzzfeed, and emphasize themes like inclusivity, diversity, love, and self-expression…
That’s where Buzzfeed plans to step in. The online platform is making a statement and throwing an inclusive, magical evening, hosted by Buzzfeed’s Eugene Lee Yang, open to people of all sexual orientations and gender identities, where they can celebrate unity and acceptance with music, dance, celebrity guests and more. Buzzfeed’s hand-selected Queer Prom Court (local high schoolers making a difference in their communities, each of whom will be flown out to Los Angeles and honored at the event) will be joined by students from local high schools, along with LBGT advocates and stars like Adam Lambert, Darren Criss, Latrice Royale, Margaret Cho and Ryan Murphy.”
So the event itself (while clearly being for queer people and celebrating queer people) is open to all sexual orientations. All the people being honored are LGBT, the activists are all LGBT and they also want to bring in celebs, and the highlighted ones here (though I imagine there are more) are all LGBT except Darren, who is an active LGBT ally (ie not a random straight actor, but one who has shown a particular awareness and commitment to LGBT issues), and loves to do this kind of stuff, and is a teen heart-throb (this is a prom after all, and they want to make the kids happy).
So what do I personally look for when I see an event like this? Because I do see what you’re talking about, anon 1 - it does happen not infrequently that some straight person gets all these props for attending a queer event. So my own litmus test  -  Are the people being honored from the LGBT community? Is the focus on the awesome x community, not on the greatness of people who support them? What is the role of the ally here (to attend and celebrate with, perform, have fun etc… or are they the main focus)?  Is the ally trying to speak on behalf of the community or not? So for me, Queer Prom passes it all at this point - LGBT honorees, LGBT celebs (with some straight allies), focus on the right things. In that context, I feel happy that strong ally celebs want to be a part. Just like I’m happy that awesome enlightened men attend feminist events, pro-choice rallies, women’s marches…That’s the world I want to live in.  So I’m cool.

omg Kassie i'm bad at these au meme things and i feel like asking for, like, theatre kids au headcanons is disingenuous because can you have a headcanon for your own world? that would just be canon, no? so gimme 5 headcanons for a a hedric college modern au?
the “send me an au and i’ll write 5+ headcanons about it” game
I actually have done that for this game before, though it was a little less, “headcanons about a universe that is already headcanon” and more, “a glorified excuse to talk a lot about the headcanon universe” — but anyway
So, at Hogwarts University, we have Cedric Diggory, one of the History department’s postgrad students, and Harry Potter, one of the undergrads in the Social Policy and Social Work program.
They first met each other during one of the unofficial, only barely organized, by the students and for the students games of football, when they got put on the same team and butted heads about strategy, with a lot of openly sarcastic snark from Harry, and a lot of passive-aggressive dry snark from Cedric, and a lot of eye-rolling from their teammates because there is a time and a place for ineptly flirting at each other without entirely realizing that you’re doing it, and neither of them is, “during a game, what the Hell, guys”
Everyone else on that team, from Ginny (Harry’s ex and his best friend’s sister) to Viktor (who’s a big deal footballer but he really doesn’t like being reminded of it, or how it’s impeded all of his academics, and anyway, he’s Cedric’s roommate and they used to be boyfriends) had a Super Awkward time of it because eventually, it became obvious that Harry and Cedric were not listening to them, were totally off in their own world during all attempted discussions of strategy, and were probably going to be super into each other
The snarkfest finally ended when Harry sort of accidentally tackled Cedric while trying not to faceplant after hitting a slick patch of mud too quickly and sliding, after which: 1. Ginny took over as captain, and dragged Viktor into being her co-captain, because she decided that if Cedric and Harry couldn’t share the co-captain spot without flirting and being ridiculous at each other, then screw them, they don’t get to be co-captains anymore;
and 2. even if she hadn’t, they would’ve calmed down anyway, because abruptly ending up sprawled out with Harry on top of Cedric made both of them have an, “oh shit, he’s hot” moment, which really knocked the wind out of their unintentional snarky argue-flirting and made both of them much more cooperative
For her part, Cho is really glad that she was on the other team for all of this (though, at the time, she was really not into this arrangement because she got stuck with Draco, Zacharias, Pansy, Oliver, and Roger Davies as some of her teammates, and Cho mostly likes Oliver and Roger, but all five of these people kinda suck to be on a team with for various reasons).
But she’s grateful now because on one hand, she and Cedric dated before they were in undergrad, and he’s one of her best friends. On the other hand, she and Harry briefly dated, and it ended amicably.
And on the tentacle, she’s currently in a Something with Ginny that isn’t yet officially anything because neither of them is sure what she wants but they keep flirting with each other but in not very direct ways, and okay really, it would’ve been Awkward And Messy for Cho to be on a team with Ginny while two of her exes were being even more inept at flirting than Cho and Ginny have been
Cedric has this problem where he doesn’t know how to ask for help when he needs it, because:
1. he’s legitimately gifted (which has given him kind of a Thing about working hard enough to prove that he isn’t just coasting by on his natural talents and aptitude, which usually means that he will work himself almost to the point of a complete breakdown, succeed, and then learn almost nothing from this since he didn’t actually have said breakdown so it’s probably okay to keep doing this — and he still feels like it’s not enough and maybe he’s not actually good at anything)
2. a lot of people whom he cares about rely on and look up to him (which kicks him in the responsibility and makes him feel like he has to always be there for them, and he gets that he is allowed to ask people to be there for him in turn, but he only actually lives that idea in certain specific ways that usually do not involve any of his actual problems)
and 3. he kinda has a chip on his shoulder about whether or not he can actually handle anything on his own, and about doing all of the work to prove that he can, because he was sort of an awkward and sickly kid, and between his Mum verging on being overprotective and Amos over-hyping Cedric for every. single. accomplishment. he ever had, in ways that Cedric finds over-the-top and unnecessary, Cedric got stuck worrying about whether or not he could handle anything
This is all getting particularly problematic because Cedric has pretty much no idea what he’s going to do after finishing his postgraduate work (which he started because he had no idea what he was going to do after finishing his undergrad) and he feels like he can’t ask anyone for help without letting everyone down and somehow hurting them horribly.
Someone, please. Help this boy.
Harry really values his ability to keep a low profile. Unfortunately for him, this ability is borderline non-existent because:
1. He’s the son of that famous footballer whose father invented Toaster Strudels or something (it was actually the Sleekeazy line of hair products but almost nobody remembers that, since Harry never talks about it, and his hair never behaves and he has no idea what hair products do what, so no one thinks to associate him with Sleekeazy), and that one big deal activist who made her name vehemently, openly opposing that one disgraced former Tory MP who was in good with Thatcher back in the day but these days, he’s gone even further to the political right and he’s trying (once again) to make a comeback by capitalizing on increasing Islamophobia and anti-immigrant sentiments to make people vote for him.
2. The Potters died in really shady circumstances when Harry was very young, which sorta led that guy’s big fall from grace, and a huge custody nightmare because Harry was supposed to go live with his godfather and his father’s BFF, that wayward disowned, gay, bipolar son of that one noble family who are some of said ex-Tory MP’s biggest supporters, who’s managed to establish himself as a writer, but Lily’s parents initially started voicing Concern about Harry living with him, because at the time, he was:
a. undiagnosed, so a lot of his symptoms were seen as Just Sirius Being Sirius and, “just Sirius being Sirius” was periodically dangerous (mostly to Sirius himself but… still in ways that concerned Harry’s Evans grandparents);
b. nominally single, officially “straight,” and sharing a place with Professor Lupin from the History department (who was a postgrad, then), but that was all a façade, hiding their on-off Thing, where they were kinda together, but sometime not, and sometimes, “together but allowed to see other people as long as they talk about it if it ever gets serious (which it never really did but still)” — and oh boy, there was a Mess when that all came out during the custody nightmare (not least because Petunia and Vernon entered the discussion by being homophobic all over it, and making matters way, WAY worse when some trashy tabloid journalist outed Remus’s HIV status);
and c. a person of interest in the investigation of James and Lily’s deaths (which never amounted to charges and was eventually dropped, but not for lack of trying to pin it all on Sirius, on the parts of a few choice assholes).
3. Harry is a pretty gifted footballer himself, and a pretty good student, and friends with that loudmouth activisty girl who took advantage of an obscure and underutilized academic option to design her own program (combining history, law, political science, and social policy), and the youngest son of that family of impoverished minor nobles who act like they’re all about family values but are secretly an abusive shit-show, oh and he’s not actually a student here anymore, he left school to go into some nebulous but profitable startup with his twin brothers, but Harry and Hermione are still here, so he hangs around so often that most people don’t remember that he doesn’t even go here
(overall, Ron and Hermione are equally notable but in very different ways and for very different reasons)
and 4. Harry also spent his entire adolescence accidentally foiling that dickbag ex-Tory MP’s plans to try and make his comeback, and aside from all of the shit that he was embroiled in as a toddler, his godfather being kind of a Big Deal in several ways, and his “uncle” being a member of the university’s faculty, Harry just keeps drawing attention to himself without meaning to.
Someone please help him, he just wants to not have to deal with all of this attention, it is so frustrating
ngl, one of his favorite things about Cedric is that Cedric does not treat him as Famous Harry Potter, and manages to strike a rare balance between acknowledging the effects of this shit on Harry’s life and treating Harry as a real person without giving him any special treatment for better or for worse because of who his parents were, or his accidental teenage activism, or his talent at football, or any of that
(—like, seriously. Ron, Hermione, Luna, Cho, Remus, and Sirius are the only other people Harry would list as having done the thing consistently. This isn’t really fair to some others in his life, but he’s also pretty sensitive about all of this, so unfair as it is to some people in his life, it’s understandable that his list is so short)
Their first date happened kind of by accident.
See, it started when Sirius got asked to come have a reading and talk on campus, and of course Harry was going to go because it’s Sirius and his new book is really good and even if Harry didn’t like it, he’d still go because it’s Sirius.
Cedric showed up with the intent to just enjoy it and hopefully ask some questions during the Q&A (like, this boy showed up with an entire page of possible questions in his notebook, and that had already been whittled down quite a lot, and even as he went into the auditorium, he was still debating which one he wanted to ask most)
This particular event had open seating, rather than assigned seating, and Harry…… was sort of not sure where to sit, when he showed up. Like, he picked out Ron in the crowd first… but then noticed that Ron was sitting with Viktor, and looking kinda bored while Viktor looked eager, and yeah, there was a brief feeling of, “What the Hell, I should go over there and ask why Ron didn’t tell me he had a date with Viktor, who cares if I ruin their moment, what the Hell Ron” — but Harry decided against it because Ron hadn’t had a date in a while, and ruining it for him would’ve been a dick move
Then, he spotted Hermione… right as Luna sat down with her and they picked up where they’d apparently left off in some debate or other that Harry couldn’t hear so he just imagined that it was another round of Hermione reading Sirius’s poetry as sociopolitical commentaries first and foremost, while Luna primarily reads them as poems, looking at how the language and choice of images create certain emotions and stories and word-pictures, rather than what those things mean in a broader sociopolitical context, and probably arguing about the place of the author in interpreting literature
(He wasn’t that far off. Add in some stuff like, “Luna ffs why did you bring gummy bears to a poetry reading” and, “Did you do something special with your hair? …Oh, wait, you’re just not wearing any Sleekeazy’s in it, are you? …It looks really pretty and I’m sorry your internship’s been pressuring you into wearing it for the sake of looking quote-unquote professional” — and then you’d basically have what they were on about)
This process repeated itself with Cho and Ginny, then with Dean and Seamus, then with Lavender and Parvati, then with Angelina and Katie, then with Fleur and Tonks — it was only different when Harry noticed Draco, then Zacharias, because ugh, fuck shit dammit NO, there is not enough money in the world to pay Harry to sit next to either of them — and finally, he noticed Cedric sitting on his own
Faced with the choices of, “go ask Cedric if he can sit next to him and risk rejection” or, “sit alone and feel lonely, and risk Remus coming to sit with him and feeling like a loser because ugggh, one of his godfathers actually came to sit with him so he wouldn’t feel lonely which was well-intentioned but just kind of reaffirmed Harry’s feelings of loneliness and loserdom, and ugggh, he loves you, Uncle Moony, but why this”
……yeah, Harry went and asked if he could join Cedric
Cedric was really confused about why Harry seemed so hugely relieved to have been told, “Oh, sure, please — God, it’s kinda lonely with all the couples in here, right?” because?? Like???? Cedric goes out of his way to try and be kind and welcoming to everyone (even when they’ve shared incidents like the football game arguing and accidental tackling), and he got worried that he’d done something to make Harry feel like he didn’t like him or didn’t want him around
But there wasn’t really a lot of time to worry about it before the presentation started
So, instead, Cedric just waited until it was done and then asked if Harry wanted to go get dinner or something, because it was Very Important to Cedric to make sure that Harry knew that he was genuinely welcome
And well, first, they had to duck over to see Sirius before he got to signing books for people, because Sirius doesn’t always read his texts before just going, “shit, where is my godson” (or whatever) and getting really caught up in things, and Remus regularly forgets to charge his phone, lets it die, and doesn’t notice until someone (usually Sirius, Harry, Minerva, Marlene McKinnon, Mary MacDonald, or Tonks) goes, “what the fuck, why does your phone keep going straight to voicemail”
Like, you just can’t go, “okay, text Remus and he’ll go tell Sirius because he’s more responsible” because neither one of them is actually that responsible about this particular point — so Harry wanted to just congratulate Sirius, let him know that Harry would be staying at his and Remus’s place that night instead of at his, Ron, and Hermione’s place, and go, “oh btw, I’d stay here longer but I think the hot guy I accidentally tackled a few weeks ago just asked me out so I’m sorry for blowing you off but I’m gonna go out with him now”
(Sirius is always touched when he’s reminded that Harry loves him that much, but he’s also confused about why Harry felt a need to apologize for that because his opinion on all of this is, “why didn’t you just text me then, shut up at talking to me and go get some with Hot Football Boy”)
(Harry’s not even going to try to go, “I can’t text you bc I never know if you’re going to read them before you call up Ron, Hermione, Professor McGonagall, and the campus safety people to try and find me despite how I texted you that I was going to bed early or something.” He’s done that too many times to think that the message ever sticks with Sirius for long.)
Either way, Harry burned up a lot of his, “communicating with other people in an effective way” points because he didn’t ask Cedric if he’d meant this as a date date until two-thirds of the way through dinner, and his reaction to Cedric’s, “……I hadn’t thought about that one way or the other? But I’d like it if it were, if you did” was, “???? so is it a date date or not what??”
Working that out took them a good five minutes of vague as fuck, noncommittal back and forth
They eventually decided on it being a date date, but still

Shitty last headcanon is shitty because it’s 1 AM and I lost control of my life and this post and I’m tired but: so, Cedric and Viktor have a dog. She’s a mutt who Cedric found at a shelter a few years ago and fell in love with because she just looked like she needed a home so much. Her name is Lady and she’s very friendly. Before Harry met her the first time, Cedric did tell him that Lady is very friendly, but he didn’t really specify how friendly she can be when she decides that she likes someone.
She decided that she liked Harry immediately after meeting him
So, while he was waiting for Cedric to finish getting ready, she came over and put her head on Harry’s leg… then brought over a toy and made the, “play with me please please please” face at him and he indulged her because awwww cute……
And then Harry isn’t really sure what happened, but he wound up on the floor by Cedric and Viktor’s coffee table (which is perpetually buried under a stack of books), with a large dog sprawled on top of him and alternately nuzzling and licking him
Viktor had to come save him because Harry didn’t know what to do and felt bad about trying to tell Lady to get off because anytime he does that with Sirius and Remus’s dogs, the dogs get sad and Harry feels like he just seriously hurt their feelings and he doesn’t know what to do
As opposed to Crookshanks, who Harry can be blunt and cranky with, because Crookshanks is only marginally nicer to Harry than he is to Ron, and fine, cat, if you’re going to be an arse, Harry’s going to just pick you up and relocate you when you sit on his things or try to commandeer his lap when he’s trying to work
Hermione and Sirius both wish that there weren’t so much slightly vague enmity between Harry and Crookshanks, and Ron and Crookshanks, but Hermione and Sirius are both biased as fuck because Crookshanks is always nice and well-behaved for both of them
Viktor still took pics first, because it was cute and he figured that Cedric would want to see it
He was right, and Harry, personally, is just thankful that nobody put the pics on social media

Ayesha Liveblogs Fairy Tail S3
Can the narrator really justify the “small peaceful nation” part of the intro after a morality weapon was resurrected and almost destroyed a ghost town
“Flower parties are freakin’ manly!” Elfman isn’t here for your gender roles
My sweet stripper son:
Erza: Have you considered putting on a shirt?
Gray: [Growls]
“Don’t get cold feet” I love shitty battle puns
The implication that Natsu would literally move the heavens and the earth for Lucy is beautiful
I can’t believe that disaster of a play exists in continuity
“I need your guidance Laxus” When Freed is faced with difficult decisions he looks into the sky and sees Laxus in the clouds
“A real man never uses his brain” I mean... tru
Gray just fucking peacefully iceskates past a pile of his friends
“You and me aren’t married okay” “Then why are you blushing” Baby Natsu and Lisanna are so cute
That exchange between Natsu and Lisanna makes it seem like she’s missing and not dead but they buried her body right?
Gildarts has apparently decided to adopt Natsu
Poor Natsu he doesn’t even get sad about Lisanna’s death he’s mad
Natsu @ Gildarts: You’re not my real dad! 
DRUNK GAJEEL SEARCHES FOR KITTY CATS
Mystogan is Wendy’s Jellal oh no the one nice thing Jellal thinks he did his whole life was a lie
I fucking love Natsu���s nicknames for Gray: Frosty, Freezer Burn, Snowflake <3
“We need to talk, it’s time you learned to grip it right” Gray pls
“I wish something interesting would happen today,” said Lucy, shortly after Mystogan announced the impending apocalypse
This is the second time that everything Wendy knows and cares about has evaporated right before her eyes yikes
Based on this intro everyone’s going to meet their AU selves in Edolas and I’m really curious if AU Gray is just going to put on more clothes
“If none of our buddies are in this world, what would be the point of coming back here anyway?” Natsu <3333333
“We gotta walk somewhere, so why not this way?” shit u right Natsu
AU Gray does wear too many clothes I love it
Oh no Lisanna’s probably still alive in this universe
“Why isn’t Cana half-naked and fully drunk?” Cana is a mess 
Natsu, weeping: The Gray I know would be half-naked by now
“I’ve never seen a frog like this! We should take it back for Lucy as a souvenir” Amazing his friends are trapped in a giant crystal and he’s still thinking about what they might enjoy as keepsakes
I think Scary Lucy is in love with Natsu
But how did Gajeel get to Edolas without a magical flying cat?
“This Gajeel’s a freelance journalist, better get the scoop on him” I wonder if his political activist alter ego also uses terrible wordplay
“Being bossed around is kind of a nice change” Kinkshame Scary Lucy
It makes sense that Lucy’s the only one who can use magic here because her magic isn’t tied to Earth
Gentle Fro Gajeel bonding with Angry Spiky Gajeel is great
Lmao @ Mystogan just tossing up random members of a Fairy Tail up into the sky and also it seems abundantly clear at this point that he’s Edolas Jellal
Natsu [Aggressive Roadster voice]: My Lucy
I guess Edolas Natsu is only ballsy while inside moving vehicles
“Not exactly my idea of a dictatorship” Clearly you have never seen footage produced by any dictatorship ever
Nalu must be canon because she just gave him the Hug of Passionate Restraint
Ngl this cat drama is a bit Much for me I don’t even like Happy
This is some dark philosopher’s stone ass shit that I didn’t really expect from Fairy Tail yikes there’s no moral dilemma for these people
How come Gajeel can use his magic??
Honestly the greatest suspension of disbelief in this show is pretending Happy does not sound like a whiny adult woman
The way they told that story at first made it seem like all 100 eggs belonged to Happy’s parents 
I’M SCREAMING THE REAL GRAY AND ERZA ARE BACK MY SWEET NAKED AND VIOLENT CHILDREN
I love their entrance bathed in ethereal light and also the fact that their combined magical power was enough to fill a town square
Ohhhh so that’s why Lucy can use her powers because Mystogan gave her the crazy red pills
Gray, trying to give medicine to a person who is out cold: Come on, open your mouth, you loser
“I was wondering what he popped in my mouth,” I'm concerned about you Lucy
Gray just faded into transparency because he was being ignored amazing
“Do you want get in the middle of that?” “You know, you make a good point” I missed Gray’s and Lucy’s asides <3
Gray did you need to pin Lucy down to protect her you are so Extra and I love it
Gray just... fucking chucked Lucy.... twenty feet in the air GOOD LORD
Oh my god is Panther Lily going to become Gajeel’s magical flying cat
“You’re not dead, are you? Yell if you’re dead!” NATSU PLS
“I have to care about her, because it’s obvious that you don’t!” Lucy is so powerful and kind I love her
Full offense but I’m going to marry Gray Fullbuster
“I’m still making you my cat” he said, before beating the shit out of a man-sized panther
I bet Good Erza robbed Bad Erza lmao beautiful
Why are neither Gray nor Natsu attempting to retake their hostage
None of the Edolas boys have this same need for angry haircuts
The Cat Drama has reached new heights but I’ve slowly grown fond of it
Did Panther Lily save Mystogan?? Oh the answer is yes
What the ever loving fuck that was an abrupt cut off to an almost happy ending
I can’t believe Mystogan is a prince and also that no one is reacting to the fact he is Edolas Jellal
“I’m sure he’ll feel right at home crawling along the ground with the other pests” Apparently there is a worse dad than Papa Heartlessfilia in this show
Natsu as Daenerys Targaryen: Fire cannot kill a dragon
Fairy Tail is full of Human Disasters no matter what universe
Erza, every time she puts on a new suit of armor: My strongest armor
I love that Erza, Gray and Natsu all give their opponents speeches on the morality of their decisions as they fight
“Is a floating island going to fall on our house?” no one ever said that Mystogan was great at foresight
“But Edolas had a pretty good run, huh?” said Hughes, just calmly fucking watching the apocalypse
Why is Jellal always trying to get himself killed no matter what universe
I’m crying I love Space Jellal 
The fist pumping is killing me 
“What an overachiever!” Gajeel is so happy to have his own kitty cat
Every time Natsu tries to hug Lisanna someone physically restrains him
I’m so happy for Mira and Elfman and Natsu <3
This is going to be so weird for Fairy Tail to them it’s like they passed out and they wake up to their friends bruised and bloody, Mystogan gone forever, a baby panther in Gajeel’s arms and someone back from the dead 
Hughes, about his own execution: Seriously, it’s not a big deal, just do it!
Jellal did the thing! The Fairy Tail thing again my sweet son
The implication of Mystogan having joined Fairy Tail as a child means that he’s been walking around in a full cloak since he was like 10
Lmao @ Natsu dreaming about fighting Gray 
The unnecessarily intimate and homoerotic friendship chain continues as Lucy and Cana bathe together
Literally their legs are intertwined together underwater?? This is Extremely Gay and I love it
“Forget your clothes again?” “Don’t have time to worry about that!” 
Ggekghjrhgkhkg Gray using one of Lucy’s spirits as his partner 👀👀👀👀👀👀👀 
“At this point I’d put almost anything in my mouth as long as it’s cold” ... Like an ice wizard? 👀👀👀👀👀👀👀 
GRAY IS LITERALLY THIS MEME:
I arrive at S-Class Trials
Ship: Crowded
Partner: Loke 
Dick: Out
I am forcibly clothed at S-Class Trials
Gajeel using Levy’s head as an armrest pls 
Makarov @ an Ice Wizard: Chill
“What sort of vulgar sorcery is this?” Omg Freed is so nervous around scantily-clad women I love it
I guess Freed and Bickslow throwing the fight makes more sense than if they were defeated through the power of sex and cotton candy
“There is one thing you still lack” Self control?
This was actually a pretty accurate guess
Mystogan’s a little young to have an adult man as his pupil
Hard for Emo Wizard to avoid confrontation when everyone in this guild takes “I could kill you” as an invitation to fight
I guess it says a lot about Natsu that Gildarts has been mentoring him for many years and yet he still thinks of the dragon as his dad
