I like to write Fanfiction. going through fazes of obessing over Fruits Basket, and various other anime, Miraculous Ladybug is a constant overpowering obsession lately. Chat Noir is.. too much, but I can't get enough of that cat. (I'm also cat obessed)
Having sensory processing issues is like if every app on your phone was sending unnecessary notifications including apps you never installed & you don't have permission to change the settings. Do Not Disturb is a myth made up by neurotypicals
You're always apologizing for not responding to the texts and alerts that you actually care about because they got lost in the mess of other notifications and alerts.

It’s only manipulation when it’s intentional/premeditated. Otherwise it’s just your words having an influence on someone, i.e. The Concept Of Human Interaction.
Sometimes that influence is good, sometimes bad. But never malicious.
Being conscious of whether your words have a positive or negative impact is a noble endeavor, but you’ll never be a piece of shit unless you’re trying to.
Here’s what’s really perverse: prisoners, who cannot vote, still get counted in the U.S. Census. The more prisoners a county has, the more representation it gets, even though the prisoners cannot vote. See how that works? The more black and brown people they lock up, the more government resources and political representation they get. Even though those prisoners have no say and cannot vote.
If county-A has a population of 50 voters but no prisons, and county-B has a population of 50 voters and 50 prisoners, the county with the prisoners gets more government funding and more political represention. This is sometimes called “prison gerrymandering” and it is used in redistrictring.
Not so fun Fact: Southern states that reliably vote for Republicans also have the highest prison population in the United States. (source). So mass incarceration is a double whammy. It’s both a form of voter suppression and a tool to strengthen white people’s political power.
They told us in school the 13th amendment ended slavery. What it actually did was change the name to “life sentence,” which they then proceeded to pass out disproportionately to people of color, particularly Black and Latinx. Plantations are now called private prisons. And as mentioned, imprisoned people count in the census for purposes of the electoral college and assigning resources to the communities that imprison those people. They changed the three fifths compromise to a whole five fifths, all while pretending they were ending slavery. That’s what “reform” has always looked like in this country. We don’t need reform, we need abolition and redistribution of funds to actual social services.
name one native american intellectual off the top of your head, name one native american actor or actress off the top of your head, name one native american senator, one native american news anchor, or an author or a tv personality or a singer or a poet or a comedian, name a single native american teacher you’ve had, can you? probably not
ok so now think of one native american cartoon character you know of or a sports team relating to native americans whether it’s their actual name or their team logo, or a town you live in or near with a “native” name bet a lot of these things came to you right away i bet you didn’t even have to think
needing native representation in media, education and government are not decoy issues, the commercialization and appropriation of native cultures are not decoy issues, the lack of native representation is institutional oppression at work
White people specifically need to reblog this, I don’t CARE if it makes you uncomfortable–that’s the point. Listen to Native voices about Native issues PLEASE
Donald Trump and the liars that make up his administration really want to pretend they never brutally attacked innocent protestors
Sure would be a shame if tons of people reblogged this post and made sure no one ever forgets the vile brutality that Donald Trump ordered against innocent protestors just so he could do a shitty photo-op and pretend he was a real president
Its sketchy but hey its finished. Shout out to that anon who sent me the link to this song,this is all because of you. I used a ton of references and screenshot redraws for this and I even copied some screenshots for this one panel ...I just love these kids so much
I’ve seen it, and here it is, it’s amazing and totally loop worthy.
Nightmare [Miraculous Ladybug PV] It’s by WintermothStudios
Both of these mediums for this give me the chills, both are absolutely stunning!
150k notes later and I’ve finally given this an update. In addition to tidying up the wings and adding more feather layers, I’ve also added the #1 request throughout the years: examples.
As someone who’s job is to handle chemicals like this, I need to state that this information is IMPORTANT. Plenty of people have accidentally injured or killed themselves at home because they didn’t know what kind of reaction certain substances have with one another. Play it safe and don’t mix chemicals.

When a god is forgotten, it is not the humans who suffer. It's everyone that the forgotten god was close with.
When a god is forgotten, it doesn’t die. Because a well-known god can and, will be reborn. No, when a god is forgotten, it disappears.
The days, weeks, months, even years leading up to their final worshiper losing faith; it's during this stage, that the god grows weaker, smaller; but no less themselves. The god may try to soothe the feelings of those close to them during this painful time.
They may release their familiars, their followers, their regalia if they are certain of their own end, and do not wish to see the ones they care for so deeply, to suffer over something that no one can change.
When a god is forgotten, their shrine remains. It was built by the humans after all, but the humans don’t take the shrine down, it was forgotten right along with the god that once belonged there.
When a god is forgotten, they leave behind those that they were close to. The Regalia that they took in, the familiars they had contracts with, the friends they had made; are all left behind with memories of someone no longer around.
When a god is forgotten, those that served the god are on their own once more. Those that served the god have only a few options:
Some will go and find a new god to serve.
Some will go back to the way they were before.
Some, will stay with the shrine- and wait for a god that will never come back.
But no matter what choice they make, no matter how hard they may try.
They will never forget the god that once lived, that once taught them, talked with them, laughed with them, lived among them, is now gone forever.
But even if human kind forgets a god; they will never be completely gone.
For when a god is forgotten, it may disappear from existence, but it will never disappear from the minds and hearts of those that knew them.
So I decided to edit and repost my short fic from three years ago (Since I don’t have many fics posted) for my First Fic Back Friday. (I don’t have many posted fics so I might change what theme Friday is)
I was asked if there were other things like Six Sentence Sunday, and I thought that a full week of fanfic events might be fun. I also thought it would be great to include readers in a way that would allow them to be participants, too!
Feel free to use these images as banners if you decide to participate in any of these days. Learn more about them under the cut.
Note: many of these would apply to other types of fanworks, too!
