Wait, what? @agayspacemermaid - Tumblr Blog

I forgot Tumblr existed for a year and a half. Gotta love having adhd.

adhd bitches be like. “there’s this very tiny sound that’s extremely quiet that no one can hear but me but the fact that i can hear it means that i can no longer focus on this task” but also go “sorry i have no idea what you said because you weren’t the only sound being produced in this environment at the time and you weren’t super loud and perfectly enunciated therefore i processed nothing” i’m bitches

Dr Frankenstein is a gay man whose internalised homophobia destroyed his life and his relationship and no i will not be taking any questions

If Victor Frankenstein just let himself get completely railed by his good friend Henry and let himself explore the beauty of another man's body instead of letting his repressed feelings form into an obsession over creating the perfect male body with a working penis he could have avoided all that mess

Fellas, is it gay to want to create human life without the confines of compulsory heterosexuality and also to fixate on creating the perfect male body but also make him 8 feet tall

Worst crime Victor Frankenstein ever committed was taking one of the hottest concepts ever (reclaiming the act of creation from God AKA reclaiming the divine for yourself) and making it completely unsexy by behaving like a little bitch

We’re OK with letting them have this BAR though:

socialjusticeissue

Reblogging for the “shut the nazis down while they are being ‘nice’ before they escalate and become a more serious problem.”

Don’t talk to bigots. Don’t ‘debate’ bigots. Don’t let them talk you into ‘having a civil conversation.’

The worst atrocities in the world started with people downplaying the early warning signs.

if hypothetically i was a pirate captain in 1654 and, hypothetically, you were a mermaid that got injured in our nets, and i took you in on our prize hunt to tend to your wounds and you (i’m speculating here) stayed in my cabin to sleep by day so you could stay with the ship and swam alongside us by night and, if this were to happen, i would tell you stories of my time on land and of the many wonders of the world i had visited (and though i would not be too bold as to say it, none could compare to you) and you would tell me of your life at sea and of the most magical places not yet written on the blank corners of the map, and if, hypothetically, when we finally took a prize and came to port i met you by the docks by night to see you and maybe kiss you, and on our last night before going back out to sea i asked you to stay with me on my ship and be my pirate-mermaid girlfriend, what would you say?

Hey, remember back in 2016 when there was a lot of cynicism on social media about how both the Democrats and the Republicans were hopelessly corrupt?

Remember how a lot of that turned out to come from Russian psy-ops designed to discourage left-leaning people from voting?

Because I do.

leeshajoy

Self-reblogging because I’m seeing both a lot of cynicism about Democrats and a bit of “Biden’s got this sewn up, no need to bother voting” on my socials lately.

Anyone who tells you you shouldn’t vote does not have your best interests at heart.

IDK if you already saw this but the US military made guide for how to respond to "what's your favorite war crime?"

https://www.shacknews.com/article/121149/the-us-navy-has-a-manual-for-when-twitch-viewers-ask-about-war-crimes

It would seem that the Navy prefers that their Twitch streamers don't discuss war crimes.

OH MY FUCKING GODDDDD

I really appreciated Kotaku's headline personally

It has come to my attention that Aquaman (2018) is just a shameless ripoff of the Mattel classic, Barbie: A Mermaid Tale.

We have the child of a mermaid queen and a regular human guy

who was brought up in the human world as a free spirit,

who talks to sea creatures,

who is fated to take over the throne of an underwater kingdom (where all the buildings are round and mushroom-y)

which is currently being occupied by an evil, power-hungry relative

with an army of sharks

And their unique position, straddling the human world and the underwater world, is at first a burden but ends up being their greatest strength

… I’m just saying

cuddlyplaguedoctor

So what you’re saying is, basically, Aquaman is a Barbie Princess. Fair enough.

It's ace week so here are some reminders for y'all

Ace people are not broken

Ace people are allowed to be proud of their identity!

Ace people aren't "basically straight"

Ace people can still be in relationships (if they want)!

Asexuality is a spectrum and different ace people use different labels

Ace people can have sex if they want!

Ace people are LGBTQ+

Man found the stoplight cameras were activated during yellow lights and decided to cut the wires of it.

Florida Man: Chaotic evil. New York Man: Chaotic good.

timelessblasphemy

Holy shit. Nah dude look up the entire story, it’s INSANE.

The dude got arrested once before this for using a painter’s extension rod to point the stoplight cameras into the sky instead of cutting the wires. He didn’t cut the wires until AFTER he got out after being arrested the first time–which he did after posting facebook videos that prove that the stoplights are intentionally rigged to trick drivers into citations–the yellow lights at intersections with cameras only last THREE SECONDS, as opposed to the five seconds they last at other stoplights without cameras in the same county.

When he cut the camera cords, he reported his deeds to the news -himself,- and then politicians pressured the local police force into arresting him. The local police and sheriff deputies actually SUPPORT him for his actions because the lights have been killing innocent people! During his most recent arrest, one of the Sheriff’s Deputies actually -offered to bail him out-. When he got home again after these incidents, there was a surveillance camera planted at his house BY THE GOVERNMENT to watch him! His reaction to being surveilled? He painted over the camera in America’s flat out fucking ballsiest “fuck you” to the gubmint I’ve ever heard of. And it gets EVEN CRAZIER. After painting over the camera, suddenly this guy–his name is Stephen Ruth by the way–started GETTING ATTEMPTS ON HIS LIFE. He reports that a car intentionally tried to hit him in a head-on collision, and after talking about the car to his neighbors, they confirmed that the car in question (Or at least, one that was visibly identical, its occupants included) had been staking out his house! Somebody was legitimately trying to MURDER HIM over his discovery and his actions!

As a final insult to injury, Ruth pointed out that the VAST majority of the cameras were found SPECIFICALLY in lower-to-middle-class neighborhoods. As well, the victims of these rigged stoplights tried to go to the local news station to talk about the deaths of their family members that occurred from the rigging. Aaaand… The local station, “News12″, never aired their interviews. Remember how I said that, after cutting the cables and calling the local news station, Ruth was arrested because of pressure from politicians? Get this: News12 is actually owned by CableVision, who PROVIDES INTERNET SERVICE TO THE CAMERAS. Whereas mister Ruth was only trying to help people and save lives, he’s been caught up in a full-blown fucking government conspiracy that’s out for his blood. This guy isn’t Robin Hood, he makes Robin Hood look like a -CHUMP-.

One story element I’d like to see more of is the targeted bride-price

Something like: the newly-widowed queen knows she and her daughter won’t be allowed to rule their country themselves, so she has to agree that her daughter be married. But she wants to ensure that her daughter gets a husband who will treat her well and that her land gets a ruler who will treat it well, so she rigs the game.

Mercedes Lackey did a most excellent job of this in her 500 Kingdoms book The Sleeping Beauty, where the final challenge of the tournament to win the princess’ hand is to find a way to permanently protect their small but rich country from their many greedy neighbors (the winning concept is brilliant, btw, I grin every time)

I’m thinking also of that neat comic with the witch who says she’ll marry whoever gets the key from around her cat’s neck–but she is also the cat, and the only way to get the key is to befriend her. that’s a really great example and also one of the few I can think of where the person is setting their own bride-price, double credit.

any of those ‘the youngest/weakest wins by being clever’ or ‘the kind one wins by getting help from allies they helped along the way’ stories have potential to qualify, but I want specifically the ones where the person setting the bride-price did it that way on purpose to ensure a clever or kind winner

same for any of those stories where the thing which must be retrieved is incredibly fragile and only a careful, gentle person could retrieve it

or it’s worth a fortune and only an honest, selfless person could pass it up for the quest, y’all get the idea

or, genre-swap: the mob boss has a handsome, powerful son, and all the other mob leaders keep trying to arrange for their beautiful eligible daughters to cross his path, and the mob boss says instead that the one who brings the most to the table will be allowed to marry their son

this phrasing I like because it’s got two possible subversions!

1) all the mob-parents keep trying to show off their resources and the boss gets to say ‘no, none of these count unless you’re trying to marry my son. what do your kids have to offer him’ and then whoever’s the most badass all on their own gets to win

or 2) mob-son is actually in love with a nice straight-arrow baker from down the road, who comes and brings a brace of pies literally to the table, and wins on a proper fairytale technicality

I just super dig the idea of taking the big heavy traditional concept of a bride-price (and the ensuant actual selling of a bride) and turning it instead into the mechanism by which a clever and caring person makes sure that they/their kid/their country will be safe and happy in the future
