Surprise! I actually added a third place to my giveaway, because over the course of the contest I reached 3k! The third place winner was @scifikiid, who requested Taako ( @sisterlich‘s design!) dressed and full of panache like he would have been on the Wonderland catwalk!
Please don’t tag as kin/me/id/etc!

Rina nods in understanding. Someone who took care of Mommy…oh! She wonders if he knows her Papa too?
“Papa?” She tilts her head slightly. Man Man was family apparently. How odd. Either way, she would remain curious of him as her curiosity got the best of her. “Rina big sister.”
“I don’t know who your papa is, so I can’t say.” Rain ruffled her hair and joined her on the ground. “When he was really little, I took care of your mama. He was only about your size when I started.”
Her eyes lit up. “Oooohh! Mommy small like Rina!” And her mother was tall. Maybe there was hope for her yet to grow big some day. “Papa is tiger Papa! Big big! Rina wants to grow big like Papa and Mommy!” She appears to talk a lot when finding out more about her parents. It’s clear she loves them both plenty.
THE BABY CAME AND I'M SO HAPPY. Thank you!!! He's so tiny and cute and soft. I love him. ♡♡♡♡ @darkgreyclouds

The entirely unnecessary demise of Barnes & Noble
“Whether the Andrea Gail rolls, pitch-poles, or gets driven down, she winds up, one way or another, in a position from which she cannot recover. Among marine architects this is known as the zero-moment point – the point of no return.” –Sebastian Junger, “The Perfect Storm”
Posts like this aren’t my usual fare, but there’s a lot of readers on Tumblr. So y’all might be interested – or, if not, you really should be.
On Monday, this went down:
That’s the bloodless, matter-of-fact, ho-hum business event way of describing it. Let me paint you a different picture.
On Monday morning, every single Barnes & Noble location – that’s 781 stores – told their full-time employees to pack up and leave. The eliminated positions were as follows: the head cashiers (those are the people responsible for handling the money), the receiving managers (the people responsible for bringing in product and making sure it goes where it should), the digital leads (the people responsible for solving Nook problems), the newsstand leads (the people responsible for distributing the magazines), and the bargain leads (the people responsible for keeping up the massive discount sections). A few of the larger stores were able to spare their head cashiers and their receiving managers, but not many.
Just about everyone lost between 3 and 7 employees. The unofficial numbers put the total around 1,800 people.
People.
We’re not talking post-holiday culling of seasonal workers. This was the Red Wedding. Every person laid off was a full-time employee. These were people for whom Barnes & Noble was a career. Most of them had given 5, 10, 20 years to the company. In most cases it was their sole source of income.
There was no warning.
But it gets worse.

biggest hetero lie i’ve been told: fighting is a part of a healthy romantic relationship
Disagreements are a part of every healthy relationship. Having bad days when you’re not your best self is a part of every healthy relationship. Fighting, disrespect, and insults? Those are not healthy at all.
NO OKAY THIS IS SO FUCKING TRUE. THIS BOILS MY GODDAMN BLOOD.
STORY TIME.
When I was 16 I had recently moved, and was attending a new school. About half-way through the school year, I started dating a guy I was friends with. He and I got on REALLY well. Like yeah we had disagreements and shit, but we always, ALWAYS talked about it and discussed our feelings and why things were making us upset. Every. Single. Time. We had a good system. And when we had disagreements we resolved them immediately. Otherwise we got along SO WELL. It was great I was really freaking happy and he was too!
About six months into my relationship, people, mostly my family members, commented about how WELL we got along…a l m o s t like it was a bad thing. I didn’t really think about it though, too involved in my own brain.
Skip ahead, to about a year-ish in. Friends of mine would sometimes get into fights with their significant others and they’d tell me ALL about it and I’m a good friend so I’d listen and try to give advice. Except I never had anything when they’d ask me, “Oh well what do you do when you and J get into fights??”
And I never had an answer other than “Well we don’t fight.”
And they never believed me. Or worse they’d insist that was UNHEALTHY. “Fighting is healthy, it lets out tension building up! You just need to sometimes!”
I never, EVER EVER felt comfortable with that, and I’d shrug it off and insist we didn’t NEED to fight. Our relationship was ALREADY healthy, especially because of the way we handled disagreements. People never listened and insisted there was something wrong, whether out-right stating it or hinting at it.
Even my best friend insisted that fighting was healthy, and I listened to her on nearly everything. Except for that. I didn’t budge for anyone.
DO NOT LET PEOPLE FOOL YOU. FIGHTING IS NOT HEALTHY. DISAGREEMENTS ARE. BAD DAYS ARE OKAY. LEGITIMATE SCREAMING AND GOD FORBID PHYSICAL VIOLENCE IS. NOT. OKAY!!!
Don’t be fooled guys, please. :/
Talking to one another through disagreements is the ONLY healthy way to handle disagreements in a relationship. Verbal, physical and psychological violence is NEVER healthy.
^ All of this!
Please spread the word!
I work in a grocery store in a teeny town in Florida right near Daytona Beach, and we have a basically nonexistent LGBTQ+ community. Two of my regulars are a lesbian couple who have been together for thirty years. THIRTY YEARS!! They are super cute and always very kind to me when I ring up their groceries. One time, they came into the store after Volusia Pride (my county’s tiny pride festival) all decked out in rainbow stuff, and I said I liked it, and they just gave me smiles and said, “You’re family.” They are truly lovely.
They own a chocolate company called Sappho Chocolates that make gourmet chocolate that looks amazing. With the holidays coming up, it’s a great time to support a lesbian-owned business and treat your loved ones (or yourself) to some awesome chocolate. This is their website. If you can’t afford to buy anything from them, please reblog this post! I love these two wonderful ladies, and their business needs support!
SAPPHO CHOCOLATES (X)
Valentines is just around the corner! Support small LGBT buisnesses!
i did some research and found out that their chocolate is ethically sourced and they work in advocacy for ethical chocolate production, they make them nut-free, egg-free, and celiac-safe, they have vegan chocolates, AND they even have paw print chocolates that go towards helping animal shelters.
also they have a TON of really cute nerdy ones like a D20:
a TON of star wars ones LIKE THIS DEATH STAR THE SIZE OF A TENNIS BALL:
a TARDIS and some daleks:

You know what line gets me every time I watch MAD MAX FURY ROAD?
“Do not, my friends, become addicted to water. It will take hold of you, and you will resent its absence.”
Think about that. “Addicted to water.” It makes it sound like water is an extra luxury that people don’t need but are greedy for, something they should be able to go without, and if they are desperate for it, it’s their own fault, and not the fault of the man who has all of it, and withholds it.
Think about how the people in power tell us not to be greedy for the things we need, like healthcare, like a living wage, like the right to be free of fear and violence in our own communities. The people in power tell us not to be greedy for these things, when they themselves already enjoy them freely, and withhold them from us.
Don’t trust the narrative that tells us we’re being greedy by asking for things that we need.
Don’t trust the asshole sitting on a grassy hilltop with his hand on the spigot telling us not to be greedy for water.
Fury Road is a fantastic criticism of capitalist property rights over common necessities
I AGREE.
That three part harmony gave me chills
Nah but honestly like when they released this video I was so happy. Like the oldest sister is hardly around and they’re all always filming independent projects etc so their YouTube channel is just “Lauryn & Chyna” so whenever she’s around they try and get her in it too. It’s so cute & ofc they always end up singing
I love seeing all these young black Disney stars I saw on Tv back in the day thrive and prosper :’)
Okay sis in the middle has the cutest freaking facial expressions on this planet…. and her go off sis face 😭😭😭
How did an entire family get this blessed??
mute frisk is important 👍✨

‘Marvel deliberately cut a scene in which Valkyrie’s bisexuality is made explicit’
‘Tessa Thompson had to beg for it to be shot only for them to cut it last-minute because ‘it distracted from the final exposition’’
“Taika Waititi also fought to keep the scene and yet it was still cut”
You know, I’ll get hate over this, but I have to say I’m glad they did cut the scene out. Why do we need a scene to show someone’s bisexuality, when this movie should be focused on the plot and our beloved characters growing? Especially where it’s a superhero movie, I think the overall growth and writing of the character is more important than what gender the character prefers.
I could care less about her sexuality, or anyone’s, I just want to watch a good Marvel flick that has the heroes kicking the villains’ asses, good writing and wonderful visual (which the movie did have). Nothing more, nothing less. They already made a scene which did show her with another Valkyrie who was saving her life from Hela, so that’ll be he closest thing we get to know her sexuality.
But this is all just my opinion! please don’t hurt me.
Genious.
if you close your eyes right before the train hits, your brain will think that you have died. some people find calmness in this.
I always reblog this I just love it so much
okay listen. A train is coming towards you. You close your eyes. The train stops coming towards you. You haven’t died. Your brain is really freaking relieved that the train is not coming towards you anymore. That’s why you feel calm. Brains aren’t so stupid that they think you’ve died just because everything is black. It might have felt a bit stressed by seeing that there is a large vehicle travelling towards you, because sometimes it can have problems with understanding things outside of you and telling what’s real and what isn’t. But your brain perfectly aware that your heart is still beating and your lungs are still breathing and blood is still travelling around your body. That’s it’s job. You don’t feel calm because you “died”, you feel calm because you’re ALIVE.
Can we stop glorifying suicidal thoughts now please?
No matter what happens, you will always have an ancient part right in the middle of your human brain, somewhere that you have no access to, that wants nothing more than for you to stay alive.
