fuck it, i never ever do those “reblog for X, this one really works!” posts, but this one doesn’t have any of that BS, this is just straight up wishing us good things; and then the comment doesn’t even say any of that either. Zero claims on this post, all positive vibes
May you end this week feeling ever more certain of a future you’ll love

Reblogging for some added help for the coming months
Targaryen madness is not simply evil, fire rapists like the Mad King, it’s many different forms of obsession, jealousy, instability, and various other fixations. To the Mad King it was his distrust of everyone, Viserys it was his entitlement to the thrones, Rhaegar’s was the prophecy, even Baelor the Blessed was mad with his obsession with the gods, Aegon the Unlikely was a just king who cared for the smallfolk but he became so obsessed with dragons he killed himself and half his family with wildfire. Daenerys’ madness is her savior complex. Her belief that she is a divine savior who will free everyone, her idea of creating a new world. The writing was bad, but the idea that he savior complex would lead her to doing unspeakable acts in the name of her “new world” is not out of character or the realm of possibility.
Funny how Dany stans are bragging about the #JusticeforDany awareness, but when Sophie did a similar fundraiser before season 8, for depression, Dany fans were criticizing her. 🧐
Anon, of course they criticized Sophie’s fundraiser. These are the same people who photoshopped Emilia’s face over Rose’s at Kit and Rose’s own damn wedding. I’m sure they’re also the ones who sent the hate mail to Sophie in the first place (probably all the way back since season 1) just because they didn’t like the character she played and wanted her scenes to go to Emilia.
But I’m not interested in Game of Thrones discourse anymore. We won. Sansa got a relatively happy ending and Daenerys is dead. Her stans are still pissy - two weeks after the finale - because they’re in the collective denial stage of grief. Eventually, they will have to accept that she’s not getting “justice” because the story is over.
Disney: we vaguely implied that the villain’s toady was into him! :D canon representation!!! :D :D :D
Marvel Studios (also Disney): we had a nameless extra ask about his husband :) you’re welcome :)
PBS: The title character’s elementary school teacher will get married to a man on-screen and all of his students will be there to support him, nbd.
Okay I know this is a jokey post but it IS a big deal for PBS! Back in 2005, the Arthur spin-off, Postcards from Buster, had an episode where Buster visited a (real life!) family that had two lesbian moms. The episode never used the words ‘lesbian’, ‘gay’, or ‘homosexual’, just had Buster hanging out with this family for a little bit.
The US Secretary of Education at the time was SUCH a fucking homophobe that when she found out about the episode, she demanded that PBS return all federal funding used to make the episode. PBS only aired it on a few channels.
Marc Brown, the original creator of the Arthur books, recorded a video about how important it was to him that all types of families be represented in the show. PBS has been trying for 14 years to get gay rep and it’s important that we support the show since - as they say in the credits of each episode - it’s funded by viewers, not by corporations!
little mix’s cover of love on the brain is, in fact, the best thing that’s happened on pop music since rihanna herself.
as we all know I have terrible anxiety including getting scared of going shopping for no reason but I recently got a cashier job for the summer and it took maybe 2 days before I stopped being afraid of shopping completely because here’s what I’ve observed
sometimes customers ask to leave something at the till while they run off and grab one more thing and when they come back I’ve already forgotten what they look like. if you go shopping at the same store two days in a row or even twice in one day the employees will not remember you at all
if someone takes a little extra time getting their change/card out it’s not annoying, it gives me some extra seconds to chill out and maybe file away some loose receipts. if it takes a TON of extra time to get their change/card out it’s still nice cuz hey I don’t have anything else to do, I welcome that little pocket of calmness
if they accidentally drop their change on the ground then I have something slightly more active to do than just continue to stand there like a mannequin (also I never think any less of them or mock them in my mind, ppl drop things all the time, it’s no big deal)
if the machine doesn’t accept their card on the first try, I’m just thinking “alright, let’s try this again”; the thought of “this must be their fault” doesn’t even cross my mind
in conclusion: if you have a fear of shopping bc of anxiety, working as a cashier for just one day will immediately cure you, highly recommend
Is there anything more beautiful than women supporting women?

now, this is what it would look like if people said: “girls will be girls.”
Ricky Berry and his roommate Philip Blackwell not only were denied service at a CVS in Carytown, Virginia, when they were in search of sliced cheese, the employees there actually hid from the customers and called the police on them. Blackwell said there was another customer attempting to purchase some medicine for a bad tooth, who also couldn’t find anybody to help him. Berry stated that a police officer showed up and helped them search the store only to find the employees in a back room behind locked doors.

Y'all can’t be serious
The only non-racist explanation for this is if the employees were all made out of cheese.
Best of JCF, 6/12/19:
if i see one more post accusing neil gaiman of queerbaiting good omens fans even though
he’s said that he wants LGBTQIA+ fans to feel valid in interpreting aziraphale and crowley however they want to for the past three decades
neil has repeatedly and publicly said that he supports interpretations of A&C being in love, queer, trans, nb, or a-spec its just that labeling their love is difficult because they’re divine beings not contained by human ideals of romance and gender
that tweet going around of neil saying that fans were “reading too much into” A&C’s relationship was only a partial screencap of a longer tweet in which neil was supporting queer interpretations of his characters but no one on this site has reading comprehension or the ability to use google so everyone saw the incomplete text of the tweet and assumed neil was being homophobic when in reality that couldn’t be further from the truth
the book good omens was published in the year 1990 when it was much more risky to display openly queer characters in media than it is now
the show good omens was made as a memorial to co-author terry pratchett who died in 2015, so obviously, making significant changes to the plot gaiman and pratchett wrote together would be full of emotional hardship and grief for neil gaiman who is no doubt extremely upset that he is making this adaptation without terry alongside him. of course he isn’t going to deviate from the book since terry can’t approve the changes.
there are a million ways to show love between two characters that don’t involve kissing or sex and good omens used every single one of them between aziraphale and crowley
good omens already has many radical messages outside of A&C’s relationship (it’s literally a book philosophizing on the dangers of war and protracted conflict and questioning our understanding of christian theology. it also includes issues of feminism, anti-capitalism, climate change and pollution, and nuclear disarmament.) which cannot be ignored especially in todays political climate and to pretend that this show is as problematic as others i could mention just because neil won’t call two genderless creatures gay is reductive and frankly insulting
im calling the fucking cops

My favourite thing about Zuko joining the Gaang is how seamlessly he assumes the position of:
sleep-deprived
over-aggravated
strict
parent, forced to play bad cop, to keep the children on task.
And my absolute favourite (without missing a beat):
Which is a pretty accurate approximation of daily conversations with a toddler.
THAT’S JUST IT ABOUT ZUKO. He became the missing piece the gaang sorely needed because he IS the central father figure taking care of the toddlers.
This is a character who’s been prepped for leadership for years. He knows he could potentially rule the firenation one day. His uncle has been secretly grooming him while aboard the battleship WHICH Zuko runs. He’s the leader of a small batallion of fire nation soldiers. He’s a prince. He understands what it means to be a leader. He understands sacrifice. Can you imagine from his perspective exactly what it was like to join the Gaang? The people who’ve thwarted him all this time, really ARE just children.
He finds out Aang really IS a literal child. Sokka is mostly self taught as all paternal figures he could have had teach him left for war at a young age. So he’s very much Junior as to what it means to be a leader. Toph led a very sheltered life of female nobility, learning to be seen not heard. And she lashes out in full blown preteen angst. Katara has the mom of the group part down because by god SOMEONE had to step up and be an authoritative figure to the babies!
So here comes Zuko thinking the Gaang might just be as war worn as he is. They’ve got all their shit together and must be, like him, mature for their ages. DING DONG HE WAS WRONG. He’s a practical adult with a lot of life experience trying to wrangle children in to saving the freakin world. No wonder he’s sleep deprived, aggrivated, and strict. He thought he was dealing with professionals. Like what he’s used to. Instead he just adopted 3 kids and is sharing custody with Katara.
I love Keanu Reeves and the recent surge of love and appreciation for him warms my heart but I dread to think what’ll happen the moment you demons have had enough of him and start digging up/making up “problematic” shit he did or said when he was like 20 or something
Yes but it’d be hard to go all the way back to the 14th century just to dig up dirt on one guy
Keanu Reeves sold bad copper and was rude to messengers and sent them back empty-handed through foreign territory and I for one am sick of everybody just giving him a pass for the whole thing when we have over a dozen cuneiform tablets documenting his bad behaviour.
oh my god you did NOT
I’m sorry, I just can’t forget that Elizabeth Warren claimed to be Native American. I just can’t trust someone who reached that level of peak whiteness.
Her mother told her when she was younger that she was, she wrote an essay on her heritage for college based primarily on stories from her mother.
Last October she did release a report on a DNA analysis that was said to show a pure Native American ancestor appeared in her ancestry “in the range of six to 10 generations ago.”
All in all, they were able to conclude that she does have native american ancestry, not as much as initially believed, but nonetheless an adequate amount. We need to take another step forward and keep in mind that genetic testing/analysis for ancestry has only been possible in the last 10 years (three years for consumer markets). She wrote her paper in college, and believed her mother all of her life That is why she said that. Ancestry is a hard thing, especially prior to modern technologies as they were all based on stories being passed down to descendants ad nauseam, not on anything substantial like we have today.
Just have to add:
Elizabeth Warren DID NOT claim to be Native American. She reported that she had some Native American ancestry. Those are 2 very different things. She didn’t make a big deal out of it. Trump, otoh, did by calling her POCAHONTAS. Which one do you really think was behaving poorly?
It’s not like apologize was all she did:
She appeared at the National Indian Women Honor luncheon a few months ago to support a Native Leader from Massachusetts, who was winning an award, and she got a standing ovation.
She has also been working on legislation with Rep. Deb Haaland (New Mexico), the first Native American woman to serve in Congress that seeks to address funding shortfalls in tribal lands.
Even her critics admit she’s addressed the issue, to an extent, well:
Julian Brave Noisecat, a Native American journalist and activist who has criticized Warren previously, has said: “Based on my conversations with tribal leaders and advocates, the consensus position is that she’s one of the strongest allies of Indian country in Congress. She has good relationships with tribes across the board. And I think that’s relevant.”
Mr. Noisecat also said the ancestry matter had become double-edged: “More than any other Democratic presidential candidate, Ms. Warren has caused the most upset among Native American communities, but has also probably done the most outreach and is more vocal on issues that effect tribal citizens than other presidential candidates.”
María Urbina, the national political director of the progressive group Indivisible, said she and other liberal leaders were encouraged by Ms. Warren’s decision to apologize. Going forward, Ms. Urbina said she expected liberal activists to take their cues from Native leaders on whether Ms. Warren had adequately addressed their concerns.
“Native leaders and native people should be the ones to affirm — or not affirm — whether her record shows if she’s been an ally,” Ms. Urbina said. “That’s absolutely important.”
A new report may reveal who will play Artemis Crock on DC Universe's upcoming Stargirl series, which is filming now.
Huh, they hired an Asian American actress to play Artemis Crock, continuing the version of the character introduced in Young Justice where she was half-Vietnamese, neat!
It’s interesting that this is very much becoming a live-action JSA show, which worries me a tad, as Artemis was a villain in that book (this was pre-YJ), albeit one on good terms with the heroes.
This is my favorite celebrity headline of today
John Mulaney voice: It was even weirder, though, when I went out for the night with some money, black out, and wake up with more money, because that means that I earned money. That means that I traded goods and/or services. Which is scary.
Why is Marvel like this?
Anthony Mackie:
Brie Larson:
So I’m not the only person who finds this really creepy right?
No, no you are not
