Emily Axford always plays the kind of characters that sound like OCs weird little girls draw and write stories about (compliment). Like.

A rebellious punk rock teenager with horns and a skateboard and a sick bass! She’s in charge of hell and has a phoenix girlfriend! And she’s got 3 whole dads!

A kick ass lady in leopard print who punches creepy guys in the streets, all while accompanied by a magical cat! (Her husband’s an angel who’s also good at punching and loves her a bunch btw)

A haunted middle aged woman. who owns a toy shop and pilots airships! She did a lot of adventuring but an evil robot bird murdered her crew and now she’s out to kill it! FOR REVENGE!

Little Red Riding Hood but she’s a werewolf! She rips bad guys apart with her teeth and claws when she’s mad! Oh and likes to play Gin Rummy with gramma

A pretty robot space outlaw with roller skates and she blows up stuff with her grenade arm cannon! She’s best friends with another robot who lives in trash!

And a superhero who was bit by a ghost bat and now she’s like a human bat who uses echolocation and flies just like a bat and she’s armed with a sick parasol and also TWO KATANAS!

yall i swear to god if a bitch says her pronouns are she/her then her pronouns are she/her

[mephistopheles]

my close friend from uni was a cis girl who had the audacity to wear pants and cut her hair short and like nobody at this school, a place OBSESSED with ‘respecting everyone’s gender identities,’ would call her ‘she.’ after MONTHS of this she started wearing a fucking pronoun pin to work and i dont even think that fixed it. me, im sorta androgynous; i have shaggy self-cut hair and go by a neutral name, but i always say my pronouns are she/her, and people ive worked with for months and have introduced myself in front of fifty times will STILL reflexively say ‘they’ for me. i respect the progressive circles i run in, but this IS evidence of misogyny. people’s definition of “woman” or “girl” is so narrow and high-maintenance that even the tiniest deviation from the norm gets you forcibly defeminized. but it’s a compliment, right? like who would wanna be a girl anyway?

[mephistopheles]

replacing an inescapable gender binary with an equally-inescapable gender trinary is stupid 🩷

"crime" for conservatives is basically just existing in public as a person of color

always thinking about that Oxford study that found half of adults define "young people hanging around in groups" as "anti-social behaviour"

I will forever respect Animorphs for tricking kids who are just really into animals to read a book series by going “Hey you, you daydream about what it’s like to be a dolphin or a bird or a wolf? Have I got a book for you!” and then slowly radicalizing them with 50+ books of “There are no winners in war. Whatever ‘victory’ you perceive comes at the cost of sacrificing your own morals and killing the part of you that is human. In the end you will resort to murder, torture and war crimes and the knowledge of what you have done will haunt you for as long as you live.”

[banannafan]

So the amazing thing is that after the release of the last book, the author K. A. Applegate was interviewed and asked about why she wrote such a super dark ending for the series. She responded (I’m paraphrasing here, I read this when I was like 11) “This is what happens when kids are forced into war. There are no fairytale endings for them. And if that upsets you, then go to the polls and vote to prevent this from happening to real children.”

I got to ask her about that rebuttal years later at a book signing event for her newer One and Only series. She laughed and said that her publisher had no idea she would say that, and if they knew they probably would not have let her do so. But she genuinely meant what she said and was proud it left an impression that lasted 20+ years.

Support authors with real morals, guys. It’s not hard.

trying to explain to dumbass tumblr users that saying they benefit from systemic oppression on a certain axis is not the same as invalidating every struggle theyve ever had in their entire life

my friend's puppy has baffling levels of attitude for someone who's only been around for a handful of months. he understands concepts like deceit and civil disobedience and other things i didn't fully grasp until well into my 20s. this guy doesn't even know the seasons loop yet. he's probably like okay spring. what's next. some other new bullshit i bet

The opposite of “the elephant in the room” is “the centipede in the room”: something that’s not actually an issue but everyone is freaking out about
