I work with kids and sometimes we have to do safety lessons with them about like, not telling strangers on the internet your home address or something. And sometimes the kids wont understand why, so you have to impart upon them that, well, some adults want to hurt children. And thats kind of difficult to do, because you have to beat around the bush, both because you dont want to scare them (while still making them understand how serious it is) and because you might lose your job if you explain it too straight forward.

Luckily, for some reason, the villain of one of the most popular franchises with children for the last 10 years happens to be a serial child murderer. So when a kid asks why they shouldnt trust strangers, instead of hand wringing and humhawing my answer out, I can just say "we dont always know when a strange adult has good intentions with children, or when they are William Afton."

if you are a writer who finds themselves unable to think and are getting more and more frustrated, perhaps consider...

the last time you had anything to eat

the last time you had anything to drink

whether or not you have moved your body lately

whether or not you have had enough rest

i'm not saying these things are always the cause. i'm just saying these things are often the cause.

I have two halves of some poetry written but idk where they're going, whether they're the same poem or two different poems, whether they're anything at all

Astrophysicists are asking...

It's funny and wonderful how things happen, isn't it?

The days and nights are becoming cooler but the soil is still warm

And our universe is dominated by something we cannot see

and

Perched on an upturned bucket and flanked by two imposing eagle statues

Pocket universe

Carved into a duck

[albatris]

sometimes you can tell how much someone loves dragon age by how much they hate dragon age

[chateauofmymind]

best kinds of characters either:

is/has been an active suicide risk

doesn’t or cannot consider suicide a real option and so is left with an inarticulable feeling of circling the drain

I have been a sheep caretaker for like two days and already I'm like. Wow. I get it.

I get why these were some of the earliest mammals to ever be domesticated. They look up to humans with this sort of dumb but all at once innocent and pure and trusting expression. They're happy to see you. They follow you around. They like to be rubbed under their chins. Maybe its just some latent Scottish highland shepherd DNA I still have in me but I look at my sheep charges and suddenly I see why the love of God for humanity is so often described as a shepherd and his sheep. I'd fight a wolf for these guys. I'd go way the Hell out of my way for them. I'd carry their young for miles on my own back.

The ancient shepherds I'm referencing also ate lamb lol

Me spending time with people: joy abounds, we are all connected and there is hope!

Me 1 day later: I need to be left alone to gather the pieces of Me together

Me 2 days later: there is something very rotten at my core and I will almost certainly die unloved

my notifications are once again devolving into a spirited debate about the ethics of actions that could potentially make someone uncomfortable, and at risk of sounding like someone about to get a lot of irate anons I think we're frankly giving way too to much moral weight to hypothetical discomfort

[batmanisagatewaydrug]

the thing about discomfort is that it's an extremely nebulous category that can be triggered by virtually anything and that's far too broad a category to have any inherent moral quality to it. like. my mom was mad uncomfortable when I stopped shaving. that didn't mean I was doing violence against my mom it just meant she needed to get over herself. many such cases it must be said.

[batmanisagatewaydrug]

there's not a single example I could give that's better than this

Hot take but magical girls as werewolves

As in, you have the same "every full moon you transform against your will with no memory of what happened" but you turn into a teenage girl with a magic wand and go fight evil.

If she hits you with the power of love you get infected and become a magical girl.

If someone is stressed / anxious / afraid of something or some situation that you're not, be mindful of how you treat this person and their fear. Being unafraid while someone else is doesn't automatically mean you're better than this other person, so don't treat them like you are.

Say for example you're at a friend's house relaxing outside in their garden when a storm rolls in. You're not worried or bothered at all by the storm, but your friend seems really worried and stressed out. They want to go back inside, while you want to stay outside and experience the storm. Your friend begs for you to come back inside with them while appearing very stressed and afraid.

So, later you brag to your mutual friends about how this friend was so scared of the storm but you weren't, and make it a point the next time you see this friend to rag on them about how scared they were of that storm, and how funny it was that they were scared and you weren't at all. But, why?

First of all, people generally don't control what makes them afraid, or what stresses them out. Your friend didn't choose to be stressed out by the storm, or worried about you staying outside. There's probably something or some situation that scares you but not your friend, so why would their fear and stress in this situation make you better than them?

Second of all, you never know what sort of experiences someone else has had that you haven't. Often times when one person is afraid or stressed out about something it comes down to that they have some knowledge or experience that has given them reason to worry. Maybe your friend has had dangerous experiences with a storm where their safety or life was put at risk, or the safety or life of a loved one. So if you've been so lucky as to never have had a dangerous or scary experience with something that's scaring someone else, good for you, but not everyone has been so lucky.

Either way, if someone is stressed or afraid, the proper response is compassion, not mockery. So instead of mocking someone who's stressed out or afraid, why not try to consider their point of view? What could have caused them to be so stressed out or afraid of this situation? People don't like to be mocked or made to feel inferior, especially for things likely beyond their control. Try a little compassion and support instead of an unearned feeling of superiority.

PSA: stuttering in fics

as someone with a speech impediment, all of the people saying that only one type of stuttering is valid are wrong.

stuttering CAN look like this: "t-this is a-an example s-s-sentence"

OR this: "this-this is an example sen-sentence."

OR this: "t-t-t-th-..t-ttttthis is an example sentence."

OR this: "this is, uhm, an example, uh, sentence."

OR this: "this is an example sssssss-sentence."

OR this: "this is an examp-...this an example sentence."

sometimes the sentence won't even come out of your mouth at all.

there are probably many examples i'm forgetting, but that's the point! it usually is a mix of a few of these, but some people do one of them more often than others! some people with speech impediments have certain sounds that they almost consistently have trouble with (for me it's "st").

people with speech impediments also rarely-if ever-stutter whilst they're singing or whispering.

most importantly!!!! people with speech impediments are capable of saying a sentence without stuttering!! it can just be a gamble sometimes.

and if more people could portray the frustration that comes with stuttering and not being able to get words out, i'd be a very happy girl.

(fun fact: sometimes when my mouth won't let me say what i want to say, i get so annoyed that i just yell or grumble out "WORDS.")

this was your speech impediment PSA!!!!

we need to bring back old school tumblr communication and im so serious. sending an ask to a mutual just to say hello. seeing three different asks in your inbox all asking how your dentist appointment went. seeing a post you think one of your mutuals would enjoy and tagging them/sending it to them in the dms. nowadays its just silently liking a post or (if youre feeling extreme) replying under posts. WHAT HAPPENED TO US!! we used to be a proper community!!!! #LetsBringWhimsyBack
