If I had a nickel for every time someone’s superpowers was retconned to a rock…

I’d have two nickels, which isn’t a lot, but it’s weird that it happened twice.

Idk if this counts but creator of Miraculous Ladybug and some of the hardcore stans rub me the wrong way.

First off we as an audience had no idea that Chloe would get worse after her Queen Bee arc ended. But why a lot people liked her was she was an abused child, who was trying to learn and get better, and feel like the redemption was taken from her.

Some also like her due to her being a good example of a broken home, and mental problems that could form due to neglect.

Is it ableism for the Miraculous stans to be so hateful for people liking this character for what she became a symbol for in terms of mental health, and if you look at her behavior mental disorders caused by neglect and abuse, by saying you’re “just as bad for liking her”?

this is ableism.

People talking abt autism like its a set of quirky silly traits and not an often debilitating neurological disorder genuinely drives me up a wall, especially as someone who's support needs are higher.

"I want a gf with autism :3" ok are you prepared to help them with hygiene tasks? Are you gonna help them with laundry and cleaning their room? Are you gonna be patient with them when they're using AAC? Will you comfort them through meltdowns? Or do you just want a gf who talks to you about dinosaurs and has a cute "neurodivergent aesthetic"?

The minimization of autistic struggles to just "socially awkward sometimes" ends up making higher support needs autistics feel real isolated, because it's obvious that when you romanticize neurodivergence, you're not talking about us.

average cis conception of gender is roughly equivalent to "every single liquid is either type O+ blood or cold-pressed peanut oil." and you're like "are there not perhaps a handful of exceptions" & they get so mad they start funding nazi militias

[estrogenesis-evangelion]

you try to start soft with "well there are other blood types. and other methods for expressing oil from peanuts" and they shriek NOOOO YOURE EMASCULATING MY DEAD DAD WHO I HATED

[estrogenesis-evangelion]

you try "actually there's also milk, and seawater, and room-temperature elemental mercury" and they accuse you of taking a day off your regularly scheduled child rapes to lie specifically to them

[estrogenesis-evangelion]

BUT IF PEANUT OIL ISNT REAL THEN HOW AM I CURRENTLY SMOTHERING MYSELF IN IT i didn't say it wasn't real i said there were other liquids YOURE SO OWNED BY MY OILINESS ok

[estrogenesis-eeveeangelion]

god whoever wrote this must be so fucking hot

[ambivalent-amphibian]

maybe it's the avpd or the burnout but I can't help but think of browsing the aromantic, aroace and asexual tags as an ordeal that will inevitably make me feel self-conscious about my ultra limited life experience and relationship history even though I do want to feel part of the community.

[ambivalent-amphibian]

st/byler fanart that headcanons future mike looking like a lankier version of adam driver really make me wish there was a tag for that.

Talk to your children. Please don’t let them be bullies.

This is horrific. This child is no longer here due to fears over ICE. This should not be happening.

We need to make sure (as best we can) that our children are living in kindness and understand what is at stake.

max mayfield deserves fucking better than spending fanon eternity being just a(n unpaid) therapist side character that you think already filled her character development quota forever and ever or only being Author's mouthpiece for bashing and sass.

everyday thanking the universe (or web designers from days past) for the date range filter. Don't want to risk getting any ai generated slop in search results? Search until May 2022. On youtube, use "before:2022" at the end of your search query. Don't want to read any fic after a general vibe you don't like suddenly swept your fandom (and you know writers aren't tagging that)? only show me results from this date to that one. want to enjoy the ambience of a userbase at a given time and maybe chill there for a while? you totally can. it's like the wayback machine but with more space to wander.

"You should create for yourself" and "it's okay to feel discouraged when creating your own original projects if no one interacts with them" are two sentences that should be able to co-exist with each other

The moment I saw these double doors in our apartment, I knew I wanted to put colorful foil on them:

Today my wife did it, and I couldn't be more stunned and happy:

Isn't it amazing? This is a dream come true, and it makes me so happy! 🩵🧡💚💛💙❤️🩷

[purlturtle]

The doors continue to delight:

(pics taken as the sun shines through the doors, making all the colors shine and projecting some of them across the hallway floor) (edited this reblog to add a second pic)

This post is almost at 11,111 notes and I hope someone screenshots it when it happens!

[rathenarts]

@purlturtle here you are I got it for you!

what if I told you that I am RIVETED to my notifications at the moment, for fear that I will miss it

The galaxy map of this post's reblogs is a thing of beauty:

This isn't a post from a big blog that a ton of people reblogged from that one big blog. This isn't even a post that got big because one big blog reblogged it. Yes, there were a few big-name boosts, but almost all of these reblogs are just, this post ambling through Tumblr making people happy.

And that makes *me* happy. Thank you, fellow Tumblrinas!

Y'all.

My wife found this incredible rug to go into the living room, that matches the doors so so so well!

Isn't it fabulous?

Someone made a post talking about how Jo speaks like a nerd for someone who's meant to be a teenage bully in the early 2010s and I can't even defend her because it's true.

"Who wrote this? William shakespeare?" Girl are YOU william shakespeare??? "Playing paddycakes with the new playmates, huh? Well enjoy the honeymoon, G.I. Joke, 'cause today we're bringing the pain!" That line ALONE has alliteration, assonance, a pun and several figures of speech. Did she max out her vocabulary or something. You are not dr. seuss
