Hey! My name is Emily and I’m 28. This blog is mostly going to be a hot mess of different things. I will also occasionally upload my own writing. My dragon age fanfiction is for-the-dales.tumblr.com

my mom’s trans allyship is on another level

[joeyclaire]

she once called my friend’s deadname “that stupid thing his mom calls him”

[asideoftrashplease]

I was once talking to my 75 year old Chinese dad in passing about a trans friend of mine not getting along with her family and he asked why and I said err, because she's trans, dad.

He asked: "Oh, was she the only son or something before *waves hand*?" and I was like, warily, no she has two brothers. And he responded with a great deal of confusion: "Then what's their problem?!?!"

Later on: "Anyway, even if she WAS the only son, that's not her problem, that's THEIR problem. They should have had more sons if they were going to be bothered about it."

[jackdaw-kraai]

Knowing what I know about chinese culture there’s something so beautifully simple about his logic of “no son to carry on family name/look after them in old age/all the other stuff? Skill issue! Should’ve had more sons! Should’ve kept the family unit strong yourself! Blaming your daughter for your own failure of family planning is W E A K!” and then he learns there are more sons and it completely breaks his train of logic because if yes to more sons then why issue?? You have two others and you’re mad you don’t have three?? Whack. Greedy.

I can already envision him as an ancient lord of a powerful house looking down his nose at the latest messenger bringing gossip from the house of his offspring’s friend and going “now they have a daughter to marry into another family for powerful alliances and two sons to take over her former duties and somehow they’re still complaining about their good fortune? They shall not survive the winter.” and then sipping his tea with all the grim satisfaction of someone about to watch an unnecessary soap opera of drama unfold from a safe distance or something

Do you think it's like a rite of passage for every new generation of xmen to momentarily feel like it's kind of fucked up to be trying to kick the shit out of a senior citizen until magneto crumples someone into a cube like a trash compactor in front of them and they're just like Oh Ok

[tlirsgender]

On the one hand I'm sure everyone else is very heavily emphasizing that magneto is Theee big bad of all time and so on and so forth the whole time the new ones are training but also. Like. Imagine you're the new new new mutants or whatever and somebody manages to actually knock magneto over and he stays on the ground for a second and you're kind of looking at each other like. Guys isn't he *really* old what if we just killed magneto & then the entire city starts shaking while he's getting back on his feet & you're like ohhh he's just REALLY ANGRY now. Ok :) oh that's bad :/ oh shit. Uh oh

People think of children as either sweet and innocent or too stupid to cause much trouble and both views are wrong. A child of elementary school age has the moral reasoning and impulse control of a racoon paired with problem solving equal to or superior to an adult’s, yet unbound by the shackles of cautionary experience or awareness of long-term consequence. 

This is what allows the children to both create a black market in live bioweapons while still only valuing said weapons at 25 cents.

something that is bugging me right now is how wonderful and amazing “something very bad is going to happen” is so far (I’ve only just finished episode three and I am HOOKED) and yet everyone is only talking about the duffer brothers minuscule attachment to the project. I logged onto tumblr expecting to see ACTUAL posts about the show and yet I’m only seeing stuff about conformitygate. so this is just me reminding you that (as far as I’m aware) the duffer brothers are only PRODUCERS for this project and are not apart of the lovely and talented team of directors and writers for the show (haley z boston, axelle carolyn, weronika tofilska) and I’m sure that any connections to byler or stranger things are merely coincidental. please give the show a try before complaining about it, please!!

What I love about Nell and Jules being soulmates is that they were actually on the verge of getting divorced. Yes, they are soulmates, they complement each other, they truly see one another (really see each other, because they’re honest, open, and have total communication, which is exactly what Rachel criticises Nicky for lacking), and they accept each other as they are. But that doesn’t guarantee a perfect marriage.

Marrying your soulmate doesn’t make a relationship perfect. It doesn’t mean there won’t be problems, or that it won’t require work, or that it won’t go through crises or even that it couldn’t end. What it does mean is that you’ve found someone who sees you and accepts you as you are, even when you’re a mess. But from that point on, you still have to build the relationship, work on it, maintain it, and understand that just because that person sees and accepts you doesn’t mean the path will be easy or perfect. If anything, it means that even in the worst crises, you’ll always be able to rely on each other, because at the end of the day, you’re partners. Jules even said it himself, before anything else, Nell was his friend, and that’s one of the keys.

Honestly, I love that instead of portraying the only couple that actually “makes it” as some idealised, perfect relationship, they’re shown as something much messier, full of issues, even a bit dysfunctional. Finding your soulmate doesn’t mean anything if you’re not constantly putting in the work.

there’s a used bookstore in rural western massachusetts (the montague book mill) whose motto is “books you don’t need in a place you can’t find” and i just feel like that summarizes tumblr too

Watching The Testaments has got me remembering how I never did, and still don't, get the Nick Blaine hype from The Handmaid's Tale.

[dungeonmastersconsortium]

I know everyone makes a big deal out of the emotional moments in the "Chidi and Elanor Love Each Other" montage in the season 3 finale, but honestly, that's not the part that's the best. It's something that is very funny and VERY touching.

It's this moment. This one right here is how you know they love each other. See, Chidi teaches Elanor in every timeline... But here we see Elanor reaching out. She doesn't have a lot to offer Chidi, but she's TRYING. She's TRYING to teach him something that he doesn't know, and SHE IS IMITATING HIM not because it's a joke, but because she's using him as a model for love. This kind of imitation is a CLASSIC way for someone like Elanor to dip a toe into the pool of emotional vulnerability, into reciprocating effort and feelings.

AND HE'S TAKING HER SERIOUSLY. He's CLEARLY trying really hard to follow along, even though there's NO WAY this matters... Except it matters to her, so it matters to him.

Human relationships are not transactional but they are reciprocal, which I think many of you with your ‘i don’t owe anyone anything’ shtick are too happy to forget

[aromanticduck]

Transactional: everything has to be exactly 50/50 all the time, pay me back for the £5 sandwich or buy me something worth exactly £5, I refuse to make an effort for you if there’s nothing in it for me

Reciprocal: you were there for me when I needed help, and I’m going to do the same for you, it doesn’t matter if one of us needs more or is capable of less, because the point is not equivalent exchange but mutual care

The Testaments is fantastic. Entertaining, but never indulgent. Honest and yet resolutely hopeful. Great writing, great acting, great sets and cinematography. It is powerfully woman centered. And thank God critics agree and are as uninterested in Nick Blaine as people over 12 are
