Reasons LGBT cafes should exist

Non-sexualized spaces

Inclusive so u don’t have to out urself

No alcohol so younger ppl have full access

I fukkin love chai lattes

No pressure to find hook-ups, lookin at you my aro/ace pals

No need to socialize u can literally sit at a table and be gay all by ur self

Please make these a thing

mischeviousfaeriedragon

Adding to the list that autistic LGBT people would appreciate having this kind of space because clubs are such a sensory nightmare.

profeminist

Great point!

Not to mention genderfluid/trans people could give their chosen names to the person behind the counter and not get ugly looks

wow, a version of this post that doesn’t have queerphobic comments attached to it? Color me surprised.

most important and not discussable:

daytime activity!!

aromantic-pride

I’m super sensitive to sounds and lights so this would be really nice. Also, do you wanna go hang out with a fellow LBGTQIAP+ friend in public and talk about queer stuff without being judged? This would be the perfect place! Can someone please make this a thing?

Non-Boring Environments that need Fantasy Representation

Tropical Rainforests

Scrubland/Dry Forests. For extra effect make them the sort that burn very often; some native plants never germinate until after a fire, and some animals not only rely on fire to smoke out prey, but may even start them themselves.

Savannas/Tropical Grasslands

Temperate Rainforests. I almost didn’t include this bc New Zealand is covered in them, and that’s where they filmed Lord of the Rings. But tbh, no one really knows about them, so it belongs here

Taiga Forests

Barren Tundra, perfect for some extreme seasonal dichotomy

Polar Ice Sheets

Desert-Grasslands (arguably the same as Scrubland but Australia’s good at adding its own twists)

Barren Desert

If you like Cacti, look at American Deserts like the Sonoran

Salt Flats

Soda Lakes and Alkaline Lakes

Madagascar’s Karst Limestone Formations

Madagascar’s Spiny Forests

Madagascar’s Baobab Forests

Madagascar’s Subhumid Forests (Madagascar is cool as hell ok)

Danxia Landforms

Badlands/Mountainous Deserts

Steppes and Highland Prairies

Flood Basalts

Newly-Formed Islands, still rife with Volcanic activity

Now for Underwater Environments, sure Coral Reefs are cool.

But there are SO MANY other kinds of environments for aquatic settings, it’s unbelievable:

Seaside Cliffs

Archipelagos. Not just Tropical Island chains like Polynesia (Moana anyone?) but also Coldwater Archipelagos like the Aleutians.

Tidal Flats

Bayous/Cypress Swamps

Tropical River Basins, AKA Seasonally Flooded Rainforests

Mangrove Swamps/Deltas/Beaches

Kelp Forests

The Open Ocean

Coastal Seabeds

Rocky Beaches with Tidepools

And there are a LOT more I could name but this post is already obscenely long as is, if you’d like to toss in your own go right ahead, but my point is if you limit yourself to European Deciduous Forests you’re a wimp.

At 17, I was a depressed teenager who self harmed and wondered about just how painful it could possibly be to end my life.

Right now, I’m laying on the couch, and I can hear my husband reading our four year old a bedtime story using silly voices.

Life gets better. Make sure you’re there to see it.

It’s funny how similar Druck!Jonas and Marlon pretty much have the closest storyline out of all the Jonases (music, drug-dealing, they’re definitely the most passionate about causes) but Jonas is the most loved and Marlon is the most hated.

cloudy with a chance of witch burning

note-a-bear

your periodic reminder that a good chunk of Europe basically shat the bed for a few centuries while everyone else kinda did their thing.

binghsien

I am sorry I’m going to be that person.

This map is extremely inaccurate.

1) China was not going through business as usual China was going through the TANG DYNASTY i.e. the Golden Age of Chinese culture, which would lay down legal and social and poetic norms for the rest of Chinese history. The Tang is so influential that a lot of languages call Chinese people 唐人 (People from Tang.) (We call Chinese people “people from Qin” so.)

2) Japan is _first becoming literate_ during this time period (due to the influence of the Tang they adopt Chinese script), which is a BFD for poetry, religion, politics, society. Japanese court culture develops, which near the end of this period (11th century, around the time Europe enters “high middle ages”) will produce The Tale of Genji (by a totally awesome woman named Murasaki),widely regarded as the world’s first novel because of it’s deft use of irony and social commentary.

3) The southern part of Korea is experiencing the emergence of Unified Silla, a state that will last the entire period and will see the importation of Chinese and Indian buddhism, the construction of the first Confucian college in Korea, and so on.

4) In Mesoamerica, the Mayans are inventing astronomy, writing (the third and final independent invention of writing in human history), and a whole crapload of other stuff. This is the triumph of their culture.

5) The Umayyads in Spain are a massive center of technology, learning, and (comparative) religious toleration.

6) The Eastern Roman Empire, which spans both the green and yellow portions of your map, isn’t doing too badly either, bouncing back after losing territory to the Caliphate.

7) The Polynesians are colonizing the ENTIRE PACIFIC using amazing advanced navigation technology not rivaled until the INVENTION OF GPS.

8) I am not equipped to talk about Sub-Saharan Africa in detail (cue rant about how we never learn about subsaharan africa in the western educational system) but you can bet there are some major, amazing developments going on there too. I’d be shocked if there weren’t.

9) HOLY SHIT INDIA.

10) OMG SOUTH EAST ASIA. SOUTH. EAST. ASIA.

11) THEY WEREN’T BURNING WITCHES IN EUROPE DURING THE MIGRATION PERIOD (dark ages). Witch burning took off in the EARLY MODERN PERIOD, nearly 1000 years after this. Europe was going through some tough shit, which would leave them backwards compared to the rest of the world for 1000 years, but also there were some amazing things happening there, at least have the decency to be like “angry dudes with swords stabbing people” not WITCH BURNINGS FFS.

12) And ABSOLUTELY Islamic Caliphate was a totally amazing flowering of intellectual, artistic, and spiritual culture, a mixing pot between a thousand cultures and languages, and totally amazing. Don’t in any way want to diminish that in any way.

solacekames

I’ve always winced when seeing the original picture, so thank you binghsien for that excellent commentary!

To add:

5) Yep, Spain was mostly Muslim back then and was doing a lot better than other Western European countries in terms of retention and transmission of classical knowledge.

8) Around 1000 AD was a major wave of Bantu migration, carrying a new technology of advanced ironwork throughout Africa:

So if we wanted to watch some French animation, what films would you suggest?

the Triplets of Belleville is about an elderly woman searching for her son who was kidnapped in the middle of a Tour de France race. It’s largely free of dialogue, but the sound effects and such are wonderful. It was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Animated Feature—it lost to Finding Nemo.

A Cat in Paris is about a young girl and her cat who discover mysteries in the course of one night. It was also nominated for an Oscar for Best Animated Feature, but it lost to Rango.

Persepolis is based on an autobiographical graphic novel by Marjane Satrapi about her early life in Iran. It was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Animated Feature, but it lost to Ratatouille.

the Illusionist is about an aging magician and an imaginative young girl who form a father/daughter relationship. It was also nominated for a Best Animation Oscar, but lost to Toy Story 3.

The Rabbi’s Cat is a story about a cat who swallows a parrot and gains the ability to speak like a human. It is set in 1920’s Algeria.

Ernest & Celestine is the adorable story about a big bear and a little mouse who forge an unlikely friendship. It was also nominated for an Oscar in Best Animated Picture, but lost to Frozen.

Kirikou and the Sorceress is a story inspired by West African folklore that tells the story of Kirikou, a boy who was born with the ability to walk and talk, who saves his people from an evil witch. The film was popular enough to spawn sequels and a stage adaptation.

A Monster in Paris is a 3D animated musical film that is reaaaaalllly loosely based on the Phantom of the Opera. It’s set in 1910 and is about, surprisingly, a monster that lives in Paris, and his love for a young singer.

The King and the Mockingbird is an 80’s film about a cruel king titled Charles V + III = VIII + VIII = XVI, who is obsessed with a young shepherdess, and whose attempts to capture the young girl are thwarted by a mockingbird whose wife the King had previously killed.

Those are probably the most famous of the feature length animated films.

But the animated short films are just as glorious. Here’s a compilation of a bunch of short films and I can link you to others as well.

Sorry for the long answer but I just really love French animation.

disneyforprincesses

Reblogging over here. French animation tends to do better with diversity than Disney does, hahaha.

young-angry-and-fabulous

I should add “Le Tableau” which is really beautiful, especially if you love art. This movie is highly poetic !

“A château, flowering gardens, a threatening forest, here is what, for mysterious reasons, a Painter has left incomplete. Three kinds of characters live in this painting: the Toupins, who are entirely painted, the Pafinis, who lack a few colors, and the Reufs, who are only sketches. Considering themselves superior, the Toupins take over power, chase the Pafinis from the château, and enslave the Reufs. Convinced that only the Painter can restore harmony by finishing the painting, Ramo, Lola, and Plume decided to go looking for him. Throughout the adventure, questions will follow one after the other: What has become of the Painter? Why did he abandon them? Why did he begin destroying some of his paintings? Will they one day know the Painter’s secret?”

I would highly recommend Ernest & Celestine as the animation is beautiful, the characters are really moving and the story conveys a great message about love, friendship and oppression.

Another thing : have you seen how these amazing movies lost to american big productions ?

pardonmyfrench-bitch

Don’t forget about Kirikou et la Sorcière.

helshades

They didn’t forget! Kirikou and the Sorceress, up there.

May I suggest Dragon Hunters for myself? This 2008 feature-length film is based on the 2004-2005 cartoon Chasseurs de dragons, by the same makers (available fully online, by the way). The music, by Klaus Badelt, is hypnotic. The world is beautiful and strange, the characters lovable… and the dragons, really good.

Just saying.

monkeysiu

hey, wthat about Le jour des corneilles? Its one of my favorites french films

yihagathe

I need to add a few movies myself:

Tout en Haut du Monde / Longway North

A young russian girl goes for a trip to the North Pole to find the boat that her grandfather, a famous explorer, used for his last adventure during which he disappeared… Visually stunning, and very cool story and characters.

Avril et le Monde Truqué / April and the Twisted World

The story is set in a world where science never went further than steam and coal, since it’s been years that all scientists have mysteriously disappeared. April is the daughter of two scientists who disappeared when she was a child. As an adult, April too turns to science in secret, and will discover the reason why scientists have been disappearing all this time. Humour, atmosphere, mystery… And based on the graphic style of veteran legend comic book artist Jacques Tardi!

Aya de Yopougon / Aya of Yop City

The everyday life of Aya, a young woman who lives in Ivory Coast at the end of the 70s. Very nice mood and humour!

Adama

A young african boy goes after his older brother who left to fight for France in the war. This will lead him for a whole trip to Paris and beyond. I mainly like it for the graphic style. An interesting look for a 3D movie since they used animated textures.

Astérix: le domaine des Dieux / Astérix: the mansion of Gods

By far my favorite movie adaptation from the Astérix comic books series. This one revolves around an ingenous plan set by Caesar. He builts fancy appartements for rich romans near the Gaulish village, hoping that the Gauls wont attack civilians but will sitll get annoyed enough by the roman population to want to leave their village… and the plan works way too well.

Lascars

How 2 guys from a popular neighboorhood of Paris spend their holidays after being robbed of their trip to a paradise location. One of them tries to borrow money from a local criminal, and the other one finds a job in a rich family.

Very funny, but very not for children as well (drugs, violence, swear words, and sex!)

Le Magasin des Suicides / The Suicide Shop

The Tuvache are a really rich family in a town where nobody is happy to live. They made fortune in selling suicide articles. Unfortunately for them, their youngest son is a really nice, happy little fellow who wants to make people’s lives better… the first half is really worth watching, for the black sense of humour and originality.

Dofus, Livre 1: Julith / Dofus , First Book: Julith

For all you Ankama / Dofus / Wakfu fans! And for the others as well, since it’s not required to already know the Wafu universe to understand the movie. Follow the adventures of Joris, a young orphan who lives in a wolrd where the Dofus are special magical dragon eggs that grant tremendous power to their owners. Extremely good animation and funny characters.

Le Château des Singes / A Monkey’s Tale

A movie by the same director who made Le Ableau, Jean-françois Laguionie. A tale about two populations of monkeys, one tribe that lives at the top of the trees, and one that lives on the ground. One day, a young monkey form the tribe of the top will go meet the tribe of the bottom, who seem to live in some medieval kind of way.

Now that is one weird movie. About a unicorn named U, who came to help a girl who is not happy with her parents cruelty. Bur that girl isnt very nice herself…

Now a last quick word about studio Folimage, which is the one that produced A Cat in Paris: most of their movies are must-see. Like, really. Just look at all these visuals!!!

Phantom Boy

La Prophétie des Grenouilles / Raining Cats and Frogs

Mia et le Migou / Mia and the Migoo

They also produce short movies that can be gorgeous. My favorite is Le Bisclavret!

i was asked to recommande french animated movies by a friend so here is the full list for everyone to enjoy (again)

thatdoodlebug

ahhh thank you! <33

raygirlramblings

For stop motion fans, please also accept Ma vie de Courgette (AKA My Life as a Courgette/My life as Zuccini)

Seriously, this and Prophetie des Genouilles have some of THE BEST acting and vocal performances of animated children I have ever seen (in the original French language, naturally). Played with such emotion and realism without being pretentious.

Also if you like Asterix I heartily recommend Asterix and the Vikings

And Asterix in Britain (a personal fave ;D It’s so accurate!)

fantastic planet duh

taopopop

Kerity, la maison des contes

An italian/french production about a boy who discovers his grandmother’s magic library and goes on an epic quest in order to save the library inhabitants. Oh and the soundtrack is utterly beautiful.

aphbaguette-deactivated20230720

Two of my favourites are recent fims:

Zombillenium (dir. Arthur de Pins)

In the North of France, a horror-themed amusement park was built on top of an old coal mine. Hector Saxe, a regulations inspector, is hell-bent on shutting it down… Until an accident at the park turns him into a demon. Gritty monsters, sparkling vampires, and capitalism! Pick your favourite scare!

Mutafukaz (dir. RUN)

I wouldn’t know how to describe this one; basically take your typical ghetto/gangster movie and throw in some urban fantasy involving creatures literally made of black matter that feed on the world’s negativity. I really recommend it!

a-random-fandom-friend

French here : while Asterix and some others like Kirikou can be shown to kids, la Prophetie des Grenouilles TRAUMATIZED half my friends who watched it at an early age. Kirikou might have some scary scenes too, but nothing too too bad. I also found Les Triplettes de Belleville very, very unsettling do to the weird graphics, but that might have been just me ^^’

Tho, I highly recomend showing Asterix et Obelix, Kirikou, Ernest et Celestine, Un Monstre à Paris and Le Roi Et L'Oiseau to kids. They are all A+

apmnwq

Another Frenchie, I did watch La prophétie des grenouilles as a kid and i can only remember how terribly sad it was. I can’t tell you what the story was about but I can still recall the deep sadness I felt watching it. And apparently Le Jour des Corneilles makes you emotional too.

Among the movies listed my faves are Dragon Hunters (friggin beautiful), Le Tableau, Zombillénium (based on a comic but follows a different storyline), and of course all the Kirikou movies.

And if you need another one, Azur et Asmar is a real masterpiece (by Michel Ocelot, the same director as Kirikou), absolutely beautiful. An original fairy tale with humor and action and music and legends and mystical creatures…

And also Zarafa: “A grandfather tells his grand kids the story of Maki, a young boy who escapes from slave traders, befriends a giraffe, crosses the desert, meets a pirate, and a few other things on a trip that takes him from Africa to Paris”. Really beautiful

a-random-fandom-friend

Oh yeah you absolutly should watch Azur and Asmar

It’s the tale of two young boys (one is the son of the local duke or something, and the other is the son of his nanny, so they are raised as brothers) who were told since they were little the tale of a cursed princess. But abruptly they cannot see eachother again, until somehow they are both on the quest to free the princess. And it is STUNNING. At least half of the action is located in north africa and it is SO. BEAUTIFUL.

Do yourself a favor, and watch it.

(And other animated films by ocelot too. Princes et Princesses is entirely made of silhouettes and it’s beautiful. It’s three friend in… an old theater i think ? That like to tell and play fairytales. Look at that :

It’s really pretty and really great, with a lot of different kinds of princes and princesses. Watch it.

Comme film d'animation y'a Brendan et le secret de Kells aussi (c'est une production irlando-franco-belge, dir. Tom Moore)

C'est tellement beau, regardez !!

#Ils m'ont manqué tous ses films putains

art-vandeley

I hope to all the gay energies that, ‘you are not my type’ is not the equivalent of 'I have a boyfriend’. Cause apparently that’s the only way to get a creepy assholes of your back? Even if MiaxHanna aren’t the end goal. I hope Mia gets a better storyline. DRUCK BETTER COME BACK WITH A WLW S2!

skamtrash

Anywaaay, everyone in druck is gay. Did y'all see how Samuel looked at Jonas?! There are now two (2) instances where Toilet Sam seems to be into Jonas…..bicons.

evaking-deactivated20190416

after the quality of jonas/hanna you just know that druck would make sure to adapt evak the finest, most respectful way possible and the actor behind matteo has already given solid hints of the emotional subtlety it takes to portray isak valtersen and there is a big fat chance season 3 won’t see the light of day AT ALL and the frustration is giving me literal chest pains.

strokesthetic

speculations on Mia’s season

It could go either two ways:

a) Mia gets a gf and s2 could follow some of the plot line of og

Why?

1) Alexander would have graduated by s2. Unless he goes to school to continually stalk her creepily, I don’t think their relationship in this sense is possible.

2) Mia has repeatedly rejected him and shows 0 interest. It would be so weird to have her turn now.

3) While I’m scared at the risk of being queerbaited, so far, I choose to trust Druck not to, because they’re doing their best to raise social awareness and even tackle issues that og Skam hasn’t. They’ve also made improvements on what the OG had as problematic.

BONUS: (a reach) Kiki and Mia’s relationship is highlighted. A lot of Vilde’s last scenes in the og that were with the squad were replaced with just being with Mia. And Mia suggesting she might want to like girls. Instead of a new orig character as a gf, Mia might end up with Kiki and help her come to terms with her sexuality.

b) Mia ends up with Axel anyway

Why?

1) Marketing-wise, it’s better for Druck to push thru with Winterberg. Their views go up significantly higher in Germany - they trended on German YouTube - after a Mia-Axel clip.

2) They’re making Axel redeem himself by himself. He doesn’t apologize to Kiki because Mia told him to. The show might attempt to please both Noorhelm fans and anti-Noorhelms by making Axel become less of an asshole.

3) Mia is a confirmed bisexual, which still leaves the possibility of a romance with Axel. They could have made her into a lesbian which would make a lot more sense since she’s told him he’s not her type and then proceeeds to kiss Hanna. But they didn’t.

A speculation based on nothing: I think Druck is still unsure of how s2 will turn out, depending on feedback. So I think you guys should def use the WhatsApp thing to voice out ur opinions and thoughts on this to help the show come up with a wise decision.
