Love has many powers; if the love is true. It can cross the earth and withstand the storm.
It can conquer even you.
Norm Lewis in Once On This Island

So, I recently went to Universal and I feel stupid for this, but I want to make sure I’m not alone. I was super excited for the Spider-Man ride and since it was just a friend and me, we decided to go through the single riders line. As soon as we got on the ride, I knew that I made a horrible mistake with not having my friend with me. My most anticipated ride became my least favorite because I was TERRIFIED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! My friend said that it sounded like I was being murdered because I felt like I was. I thought I was more prepared for 3-D rides, but boy was I wrong.
Seven Things The Movies Forgot About Ron
Book Ron was an interesting, attractive and relatable character, and I feel that the movies really unfairly relegated him to the position of comic relief. The dynamics of the trio had to be simplified into hero + heroine + mascot, and that robbed us of a truly fascinating character. So here are a few things you should remember:
1. He really is poor and it matters. HP may have huge issues when it comes to representations of race and sexuality, but deserves a round of applause for having a character come from a low-income background, with the fact of their poverty not glossed over but made into a plot point. JKR is really consistent about this – about the things Ron eats and wears and buys and doesn’t buy, the way he reacts when Harry unwittingly flaunts his own wealth. Poorer kids who have to go without brand name clothes will see themselves in Ron, and richer kids will learn that poverty isn’t something you deserve. Kids who empathize with Ron because he can’t afford to replace a broken wand are less likely to grow up to be assholes who complain about the extravagant lifestyle of people on welfare.
2. He has knowledge about the world. Out of the trio, he is the only real insider in wizarding society. Hermione is the one who knows magical theory and basically everything that can be found in a library. But when it comes to wizarding society and all of its habits, rules and unspoken assumptions, he is the one who can fill the other two in. Throughout the course of the septology, he does almost as much exposition as Hermione.
3. He is actually quite intelligent. Despite what the movies would have you believe, he is not dumb. He is mediocre in most of his schoolwork, and lacks Hermione’s booksmarts, but he is an excellent chess player, meaning he possesses good strategic abilities. He is the one who keeps a calm head while throttled by Devil’s Snare, and he talks Hermione through saving both their lives. He has decent observational skills, after all he was to one to spot inconsistencies in Hermione’s third-year time table. Seeing his common sense and social insight as less valuable than Hermione’s academic knowledge betrays an inherently flawed definition of intelligence. (Especially since academic knowledge tends to be gendered as male, and social knowledge as female, think of Poirot and Miss Marple.)
4. He is loyal. He is the embodiment of loyalty. The movies erase some of the most poignant moments proving this, and hand some of them over to Hermione. But it is Ron who stands in front of Harry, daring Sirius Black to kill them both, despite his broken leg. It is Ron who repeatedly defies Malfoy and even Snape to protect Hermione from verbal abuse. When his mother believes tabloid lies about Hermione, he takes Hermione’s side. When his brother tells him to stop being friends with Harry because of the political risk, he is so furious at the suggestion that he tears up the letter. He is unthinkingly loyal to his friends, this is why it is such a big deal that he leaves in the seventh book – because it contradicts who he really is.
5. He is genuinely funny. In the movies we are more likely to laugh at Ron than laugh with him, and the jokes he makes tend to be somewhat juvenile. But in the books his sense of humour evolves with him and with the reader, leading to this dry, snarky, irreverent tone that is genuinely very enjoyable. Ron is fun to read, and he sounds like someone who would be lots of fun to be around. He jokes a lot, but it is rarely spiteful, and often meant to comfort or distract someone – a proof of emotional intelligence.
6. He is kind. I don’t really how to put this, other than the fact that if Ron was a girl, he would be immediately defined as a caretaker. He stays in Hogwarts over Christmas so that Harry doesn’t have to be alone. He often acts oblivious and selfish on the surface, but ultimately he really obviously pays attention to the wellbeing of his friends. From his words and actions and body-language we can piece together the sort of person who can make life suck less just by showing up, who is always there for his friends even if he cannot do anything specific to help.
7. He has a huge inferiority complex. The movies hardly touch on it but in the books it is his main character arc. He feels inferior to his brothers’ achievements, to Harry’s chosen status, to Hermione’s intelligence. It is explicitly stated in book four that he doesn’t understand how can someone not want to be chosen. The books are far more clear in implying that he gets together with Lavander because he’s insecure about romance. The Horcrux doesn’t get to him through his love for Hermione like it does in the movie, it gets to him through the nagging suspicion that he has never been good enough for anything or anyone ever, including Hermione. And the movie laughed off the scene after the destruction of the Horcrux, when Harry finally gets how much Ron suffered of this fear of being second best and Ron gets that Harry never chose to be chosen. But fear of being inadequate is the primary driving force of Ron throughout the septology, and the movie fails to see value in Ron just as Ron fails to see value in himself: his caring, his loyalty, his wealth of non-academic knowledge and his awesome sense of humour are not tangible achievements, and they are not something somebody notices about themselves.
Movie Ron is the person book Ron is afraid of being in his lowest moments, an incompetent oaf who makes rude jokes and chews with his mouth open, somebody their friends only keep around out of pity and habit, somebody Hermione would have to settle for out of a lack of better options. But book Ron, for all his flaws, is a loyal, funny and warm person with many valuable practical skills. Also: I can imagine Hermione regularly thanking her lucky stars for ending up with someone as amazing as him.

Apparently Barrowman posted this himself.
John Barrowman makes me so happy. And so does this outfit.
He’s got better legs than I do. Jerk.
This is beautiful.
Wow, nice legs!
He did a whole panel at Dragon Con this past weekend in this custom outfit with heels! He’s amazing!
yknow how you want to like female characters and not immediately hate them but at the same time they’re often written by those men that have a limited understanding of women as people and it’s really hard to like a character that is less meant to be a person and more of a wanking hand puppet intended for the male gaze
the flip side is when we’re supposed to dislike a female character but she’s obviously a straw-woman the writer’s using to work out some unresolved issues he has with an ex or his mom or an unrequited crush so you actually kind of like her out of spite (especially when the narrative insists she’s terrible but the real person she’s based on was wholly reasonable and the writer can’t conceal that)
Bonus points when the dude we’re supposed to think she’s such a harpy for being hostile toward is just an endless parade of predatory red flags, but the narrative never acknowledges it due to the writer’s evident honest belief that that’s just how you interact with women.

A remake of this (x) post, featuring new and previously overlooked actors.
I love that many of the actors of colors actually voiced characters of color and many of their own ethnic background
So you mean to tell me Shang, Tadashi, Kocoum, and James were fine in real life too?

Please don’t have sex with them if they say no to a condom when you want to use on.
please leave
runaway
don’t ever come back I promise you, you’re better off. Just leave.
no no no yall need to listen to this
When he tells you that other girls let him go bareback LEAVE
When he tells you that it feels soooo much better in a way that pressures you LEAVE
When he tells you that he’ll lose his erection LEAVE
When he tells you that sex isnt fun with a condom LEAVE
When he says he cant feel anything LEAVE
When he takes it off halfway through anyway LEAVE
Your health and security isn’t something you should have to debate. If a guy doesn’t respect your body enough to do one little thing I want you to LEAVE
Adding to this:
If he says he’s ‘too big’ for a condom, leave. That doesn’t happen except in rare circumstances and if he knows he’s too big for regular condoms he should be carrying the special elephant condoms he needs.
elephant condoms
Literally condoms can fit on a person’s whole arm up to their elbow.
If he says he’s “too big” for a condom, gtfo of there.
1. Yes a normal condom can fit a forearm inside it but this does not mean it won’t be uncomfortable for a large enough penis. Forearms have bones. A condom that is too small can cause pain, discomfort, and make maintaining an erection very difficult.
2. Bigger condoms exist. Nothing is preventing him from wearing one.
3. You don’t have to take hormones just so he can do it raw. Hormonal contraception has a long list of side effects, some of which are dangerous. Your safety is more important.
4. If he takes his condom off during sex without telling you, you’re not having sex on the agreed terms anymore, which is rape.
5. Don’t agree to anything you’re not confortable doing. Sex is not a performance. Sex should be emotionally safe, happy and satisfying for both of you. If you feel you have to appease him or impress him, leave.
