Bi/Pansexual/Genderfluid, don't question it. I write and draw, I guess. Always tired. Will not put up with your BS

So This Is My Need To Know Info

I genuinely could not care less about nsfw, just don't be horny about me specifically unless given permission, my age is a mystery (I am immortal /j) and I enjoy shooting neonazis and terfs (this is a joke don't send the cops after me)

My main fandoms are Dungeons and Dragons (specifically the game itself, the movie, and Critical Role), Overwatch, Pokémon, Jurassic Park, How To Train Your Dragon, and Metal Gear. My favorite characters from each are, in the order stated above: My OCs, Genji Shimada, Ash Greninja, Owen Grady, Toothless, and Jetstream Sam (as is obvious I have a slight ninja bias)

I am an avid sword practitioner, altho I'm very shitty in an actual swordfight bc my coordination and reaction speed is trash (when medicated I am a beast and could kill a man with a bokken). My prefered sword is the chokuto or the katana (depends on how I'm feeling) and I like to dual wield it with the shorter ninjato

I'm biracial and bisexual, so I'm all the bis I guess. I also am genderfluid and accept all pronouns, and if you're really curious enough to know what's attached to my crotch (fucking perv) I am AMAB

I'm autistic, I have ADD, I have general anxiety disorder, and I am not above murder

I am a heavy metal and punk rock fan, altho I also heavily enjoy EDM, classic rock, and modern rock

I am an athiest and I dislike religion and have trauma relating to christianity, so please do not use religion as a topic of discussion

I love drawing comics but I will take no commissions

Dni list: Pedos, Republicans, Terfs, Christian zealots, Israel supporters, Capitalists, Nazis, Transphobes, Biphobes, Homophobes, and that one bitch from back in elementary school

That's all, enjoy yourselves!

Billionaires have one agenda: stealing value created by others.

[astriiformes]

The Fellowship gets on the topic of their ages one night and Boromir comes to the dawning realization that he has absolutely no idea how old any of his companions are supposed to be at all

[astriiformes]

Boromir, pointing at the hobbits: I don’t know how your ages work

Boromir, pointing at Legolas and Gimli: I definitely don’t know how either of your ages work

Boromir, pointing at Aragorn: I thought I knew how your age worked but apparently I was wrong

Boromir, pointing at Gandalf: I especially don’t know how your age works

Gandalf: It doesn’t, but carry on

[elidyce]

Listen I will die on this hill. I don’t care what it says in the assorted apocrypha, if you go by the Actual Text of LOTR you can make a very good argument that Boromir is the youngest member of the group. 

The hobbits are the only ones given official ages in the text, and are between fifty or fifty-one and twenty-nine. Elves and dwarves notoriously age slowly, and Gimli is the offspring of one of Bilbo’s pals, so okay, we’ve established that he’s old enough to call the hobbits young, and Bilbo confirms for them that Aragorn is Pretty Old For A Bigjobs. Gandalf is, of course, eternal.

But we are never given any context for Boromir and Faramir’s ages, except that a) they are humans and, though Sons of Gondor, not much longer lived than most Bigjobs, and b) Faramir is A QuiteYoung Man. I was absolutely convinced, when I read the books as a youngun, that Boromir, being in ‘the flower of manhood’ iirc, was probably between 25 and 30.

And it would be Freaking Hilarious, okay, for Boromir to finally get around to actually asking how old this baby-faced hobbit carrying The Ring is, and get told ‘oh, he’s only fifty, but he’s very steady for his age.’

Boromir: ?!?!?!

And then Pippin and Merry start asking everyone how old they are because this is fascinating are we all official adults here except for Pippin or what.

Boromir: …. Pippin isn’t an adult HOW OLD IS PIPPIN.

Pippin is just 29, which is why everyone calls him Pippin, it’s gonna be at least another 20 years before he can make Peregrine work. Why, how old is Boromir?

Boromir, who would rather DIE than admit to being 28 right at this moment: …. 43. 

All the others, weighing up his apparent age compared to theirs: Sure, sounds legit. 

Gandalf, who knows for certain, does not say anything because he is absolutely certain that telling Pippin that he’s older than Boromir will be an unmitigated disaster.

LOTR Heritage Post

[elodieunderglass]

As everyone reading the post probably knows, Pippin was only 28 during RoTK and makes a particular point of being ALMOST 29, LIKE PRACTICALLY 29 RIGHT NOW ACTUALLY, DEFINITELY 29 THIS VERY YEAR, in a conversation with a child where he does not necessarily come off as the more mature. He was probably making such a clear and important point because hobbits are considered “full” adults (emotionally) at 33. That’s why Elrond’s heart misgave sending Pippin on the journey - he was contextually underage. That is, of course, nerd stuff and not especially interesting.

What is interesting is that Elijah Wood was an actual teenager when acting in the movies but Billy Boyd was 33, the same age as Cate Blanchett playing Galadriel. Born in 1968, Boyd is 9 years younger than Sean Bean (Boromir) and 8 years older than Dominic Monaghan (Merry).

It takes a very concentrated type of energy to be the eldest actor in the hobbit grouping by a healthy margin, and play the youngest character, and there is probably a lesson for all of us. It’s probably something like keeping a flexible mindset, drinking lots of water, staying in touch with friends of different ages, etc. It also goes to show how little reference point younger people really have for being 33.

To any trans person reading this, there's nothing transphobes are afraid of more, than you surviving.

As long as your heart beats, there's a chance you'll outlive them, so please let it keep beating.

[wtchgrrl]

will genuinely never understand how terfs essentially got out a megaphone and yelled “ummm intersex people said they don’t wanna be included!!! they said that they’re deformed and disordered freaks who should be fixed, not celebrated!!! they actually said that!!!” and the queer community at large bought into it

There are only around 1,500 native Cherokee speakers left, and most of them are elders

Little Cherokee Seeds is a program where mothers and babies spend all day with first language Cherokee speakers, speaking nothing but Cherokee, so that the babies become a new generation of native speakers. They're also teaching traditional skills and mothering practices to the mothers to pass on.

This is so so important for the survival of the language. These babies are on track to being fluent first language speakers, and they will be able to keep the language going for another lifetime.

I recommend checking out the little cherokee seeds facebook page!!

Here's how you can support little cherokee seeds!! They take donations through PayPal and Venmo!!

The remake from 2069 was okay but it would have been better if they kept the fruit stand scene

When I was a kid I thought there were so many more swear words than there are. But in actuality we get like. ten before it just turns into slurs. Deep down, I’m still disappointed.

Like to charge and reblog to cast Chinese scientists destroying the Insulin industry

[attackdogz]

the original tweet is from May this year but there has been an update!!

yay for the Chinese destroying the American insulin industry!!!!

[patrochilles-or-bust]

And before anyone asks, no I don't think violence is a first resort nor something that should be done thoughtlessly. But when you try to utilize peaceful means of communication and understanding, and your oppressor ignores those peaceful means (that they were not entitled to, but were done as a peaceful courtesy), the end result isn't "well I guess I'll just die quietly to maintain their comfort, since asking nicely didn't work". Y'all love MLK and bypass that "riot is the voice of the unheard" quote every time. Maybe instead of judging those who chose retaliation, you should start judging those who were offered peace in exchange for equality and spat in its face. 🤷🏾‍♀️

[teaboot]

Some rando: You should think about stopping your prescription

Me: My pills make me not want to die tho

They: You shouldn’t want to die, that’s not normal

Me: Yeah that’s why I’m taking my pills

[teaboot]

Again: But you aren’t the *real* you when you’re on your pills

Me: I’m the alive version of me

[teaboot]

An actual doctor, once: “Relying On A Chemical Crutch For A Hormonal Imbalance Denies The Fortitude Of The Human Soul”

Me: Cool so like I’m agnostic

[inner-muse]

They: “But you might be on pills the rest of your life!”

Me: “So?”

[illnessisnteasy]

Good! That means that I have a “rest of” my life to continue living!

Thanks to the pills.

[erinptah-admin]

Meanwhile, no person ever: “You should think about giving up your insulin/antiretrovirals/beta blockers/anti-rejection drugs/prosthetic legs/daily multivitamin, because using those your whole life is bad for some reason”

[teaboot]

Oh no, they do that too.

I have a kidney transplant. A woman once told me she didn’t believe in organ transplants and that people should just die when they’re meant to.

Sounds like a great set-up for a murder

People who are fully healthy, fit and neurotypical seem to think they are that way because they’re doing something right that the rest of us haven’t thought of, and not just because they got lucky

[gehayi]

Speaking of the luck of the non-disabled…I once terrorized a Karen who was using me to teach her entitled kid that disabled people are Other and should not be treated with respect. I told her (truthfully) that until I was twenty-eight, I wasn’t visibly disabled. Then a defective chromosome that I hadn’t known about kicked in. So my luck ran out. But until then, I had been normal–just…like…her. 

The sheer terror on her face as the concept of “You mean I’ve just been lucky so far?” seeped into her brain was a thing of beauty.

[ankoku-jin]

“You are one stroke of bad luck, common viral illness, or traumatic event away from being just like me” is honestly the most terrifying thing you can tell an abled person - and you should. I was healthy and fit and doing everything ‘right’ too - right up until some inner switch flipped and my body crumbled right out from under me.

"You all sound like Trump supporters four years ago!"

Four years ago, Trump supporters rallied outside government buildings to yell at the workers inside to stop counting ballots because Trump was currently winning in that state.

Meanwhile in a state where he was losing, they yelled to keep counting. The workers never stopped counting, the news just predicted that state would go blue and they took that to mean the electoral college had been decided.

Demanding an investigation, pointing out suspicious happenings, and wanting to make sure every ballot was actually counted does not match that lunacy. I don't have the energy to match that lunacy.
