i had to do it guys i had to

clearly inspired by this post <3

okay so in the book when bilbo was able to break out the dwarves from the elvenking's dungeon, thorin said something about how they will be for ever at bilbo's service. and i think about how erebor did not disclose bilbo's identity and whereabouts to the servant of sauron, how some dwarves helped him in his 111th birthday, and how when some dwarves passed by the shire they looked on the place with wonder and gratitude for there was the hobbit who helped the dwarves restore erebor

being a barbie forced to scissor another barbie must feel so good

It makes me sad thinking about how bilbo truly wasn't able to settle back into his little hobbit hole post journey, because he too was scarred from it and suffered loss. He probably wasn't as comfortable now knowing how much bigger and scarier the world is outside his books and maps in the shire. He didn't want frodo knowing about the ring until he absolutely had to, because he didn't want to loose frodo just like how he lost thorin...

love the steddie dynamic where they're both not being used to being taken care of.

Eddie because maybe he's never really been in a relationship, he's used to being being seen as a freak and an outsider and just not really expecting anyone to care for him like that. But then Steve is giving Eddie his sweater, before he even had the chance to complain about being cold. Steve is listening to the music Eddie talks about, he even has some tapes in his car that he'll put in if he's gonna be driving Eddie around. He listens to Eddie's rants and instead of brushing him off, he asks questions, tries to understand (even when Eddie knows it's hard for him to wrap his head around some of the fantasy stuff that Eddie's into). And every time something like that happens, Eddie has this oh right moment. Like he keeps expecting to be met with disdain or something but then is so pleasantly warmed by Steve's love.

And Steve because he's so used to being the caretaker in all his relationships. He's used to being the "man". He's always thought he had to be the tough one who took care of everything. And so the first time he accidentally cries in front of Eddie, he's a little bit mortified, but instead of laughing at him, Eddie just pulls him in gently, tells him it's okay, holds him until it's over and it feels so good it almost makes Steve cry harder. Or one time, Eddie was peeling an orange while they were chatting about something, and he kept mindlessly giving pieces of it to Steve. And it seems silly, but Steve is SO touched, because no one's really shown him that effortless kind of love before.

and just yeah, both of them believing they were hard to love or fundamentally flawed as people or something and then meeting each other and realizing just how easy it is love one another, like something has finally clicked into place 🥲

karate kid is so refreshing cus like today’s teen movie protagonists are all misfits with emotional problems in some way, meanwhile daniel larusso is such a normal well adjusted polite and friendly guy whose life randomly gets interrupted by a repressed blonde psychopath and an adult man war vet who makes it his ultimate goal to physically and mentally destroy a random child

Let people grow.

When I was younger I was very right-wing. I mean…very right-wing. I won’t go into detail, because I’m very deeply ashamed of it, but whatever you’re imagining, it’s probably at least that bad. I’ve taken out a lot of pain on others; I’ve acted in ignorance and waved hate like a flag; I’ve said and did things that hurt a lot of people.

There are artefacts of my past selves online – some of which I’ve locked down and keep around to remind me of my past sins, some of which I’ve scrubbed out, some of which are out of my grasp. If I were ever to become famous, people could find shit on me that would turn your stomach.

But that’s not me anymore. I’ve learned so much in the last ten years. I’ve become more open to seeing things through others’ eyes, and reforged my anger to turn on those who harm others rather than on those who simply want to exist. I’ve learned patience and compassion. I’ve learned how to recognise my privileges and listen to others’ perspectives. I’ve learned to stand up for others, how to hear, how to help, how to correct myself. And I learned some startling shit about myself along the way – with all due irony, some of the things I used to lash out at others for are intrinsic parts of myself.

You wouldn’t know what I am now from what I was then. You wouldn’t know what I was then from what I am now.

It distresses me deeply to think of someone dredging up my dark, awful past and treating me as though that furiously hateful person is still me. It distresses me to see others dredging up the past for anyone who has made efforts to become a better person, out of some sick obsession with proving they’re “problematic.”

Purity culture tells you that once someone says or does something, they can never go back on it. That’s a goddamn lie. While it’s true that some remain unrepentant and never change their ways and continue to harm others, it’s important to allow everyone the chance to learn from their mistakes. Saying something ignorant isn’t murder. Please stop treating it that way. Let people grow.

Still call it out and question it ….

defilerwyrm

Bruh. No. Listen. Call out what people do now, absolutely. If they haven’t changed, call them out on their record. This post is explicitly not about people who HAVEN’T changed. What this post IS saying is, if someone is making an effort to be a good person, don’t go digging around in their past for evidence that they were once for what they’re now against, or once against what they’re now for, as “proof” of what they “really think,” because people’s opinions and beliefs can change.

The obsession with finding shit in someone’s past and then claiming that a questionable or even sordid past negates all possibility of a good present needs to become extinct. Gold-star activism and purity culture are bullshit and we need to collectively reject the fuck out of them.

If someone has changed for the better, don’t harass them about what they were like before they fuckin’ changed. That’s shitty and it needs to stop.

We can’t change the world if we decide people can’t change.

Gold-star activism and purity culture are bullshit and we need to collectively reject the fuck out of them.

We really need to start asking where this purity bullshit came from. I’m not Christian and was not raised Christian but there has been a lot evidence that much of gold star activism and purity culture originated in of evangelical youth movements and then infiltrated progressive left-wing and center-left politics when those youth left their churches but failed to leave behind the black-n-white puritanical “you’re going to hell if you stray one inch from the righteous path” style of thinking they were taught.

I distinctly remember some conversations I had in the late 00s and very early 2010s with long time social justice activists who were baffled and disturbed by the new crop of youth activists who were practicing something that was decidedly NOT social justice despite stealing that phrase from us.

In the decade and a half that has passed since then, all of this gold-star activism and purity culture has done exactly what I predicted back then: empowered the far-right while sowing division everywhere.

Folks. This shit needs to stop.
