Has this been done yet

this is for those who despair over seeing ships or tropes that make them uncomfortable while they do their little scrolly-scroll on ao3, acting like they aren’t responsible for their own internet experience

(alternatively, the back button also works)

The beauty of tumblr. I don’t know OP. Don’t follow Op but I have the same cloud from a slightly different angle.

Someone posted this on fb recently, WCCO shared it (not my pic)

But yeah. I have absolutely almost gotten into a vertigo-induced car wreck bc the clouds made me feel like I was falling down into the sky.

Call me crazy but I don’t think higher education should only be available to those who can study for 6+ hours a day

Cymru Queers for Palestine disrupting and leading the Cardiff Pride Parade, Saturday 22nd June by Hannah Tottle

it was kind of fucked up for wall-e to be that way about fat people now that im thinking about it

vedajuno

I’m never NOT thinking about how the first 40ish minutes of Wall•E are the most evocative, beautiful thing that the Walt Disney company has ever produced bar none, and then the SECOND they reach the space station it becomes the most boring, blunt and extremely ableist “save the earth” animated kids movie in existance for the movie’s remaining sixty minutes. Why did they do that to him.

guys I think maybe the space station part is important to the artistic themes of the movie

frankly i feel like if you read wall-e as fatphobic you're kinda misunderstanding the messaging of the film

I feel like you can make the same messages without putting the idea of being fat/needing mobility aids as a moral failing. I understand where the idea comes from, but just because the idea has good intentions doesn't mean the effect isn't shitty.

"humanity lived on a space socialism ship where everyone had their needs met. They got fat and lazy. They never made any art all they did was get eat and be dumb and use mobility scooters. This is a moral failing. We need to force everyone to work on a farm and grow their own food because that would make them not dumb and lazy"

The notes on this post really illustrate how a lot of people refuse to acknowledge that analysis that looks at the events in a piece of fiction as the result of choices made by the artist and analysis that looks at the events of a piece of fiction as the result of in-universe cause and effect relationships are operating on fundamentally different and often incompatible wavelengths.

"But it makes sense that they were that way because they were FORCED to live a sedentary lifestyle all their life" yeah turns out the critique here is not coming from an in-universe "it doesn't make sense" perspective, it's coming from an out-of-universe "the artists choosing to use fatness and reliance on mobility aids as a visual shorthand for societal decay has fucked up Implications™" perspective.

So something no one told me about transitioning is the desire to live. It sounds dramatic, but it really is true. I want to live and plan for the future. I turn 30 this month and I didn't think I would care about what I wanted to accomplish. Before I just sorta... Existed. My dysphoria manifested as apathy in the extreme. I felt like a Sim, just ordering my body to do the things I needed to survive. But now? Now my God I want to eat good food, laugh with friends, do my hair, wear cute clothes, find long lasting love, comfort and be comforted. I care so damn much now and it's fucking beautiful. Keep going folks, it gets so much better and the world is brighter with you in it.
