it was red

We wondered what happiness would look like if we could give it a physical form. If I'm not mistaken, I think it was Suzaku that said that the shape of happiness might resemble glass. His reasoning made sense. He said that even though you don't usually notice it, it's still definitely there. You merely have to change your Point of View slightly, and then glass will sparkle when it reflects the light. I doubt that anything could argue its existence more eloquently

#why is everyone so sensitive about shipping#christ it isnt that big of a deal

because that’s real people like, you’re being a freak and dehumanize real people

[nouisalbums]

How am I dehumanizing them??? Bc I read about them being Gay????? They’re still human even if they’re gay in the fics u know??? I do know the difference between reality and fiction. I know they’re not ACTUALLY TOGETHER IRL. So why is it such a fucking problem for people to think people who have good chemistry look good together??? If someone thinks this ruins lives they’re so so fucking homophobic and so so fucking weak and not secure in their sexuality or the friendship they have with the other person.

You know Shane and Ryan have said that people shipping them makes them uncomfortable right? And you know that it’s weird and creepy to ship real life people, yeah?

Because… they AREN’T characters. You CAN’T just headcanon them as gay. Speaking from personal experience, when someone told me I would “be cute” with a close friend, I stopped showing him as much friendly physical affection because I wasn’t interested in dating him and I was concerned I could be sending mixed signals.

Now think about that. Think about how people, real actual people, might feel if they realize that people are writing about them as a couple, initially without their knowledge and definitely without their consent. Think about what it would feel like to realize hundreds of people are writing and/or reading graphic fanfiction about you and a close friend having sex.

It’s weird. It isn’t “just shipping” because these aren’t characters. They’re real people.

by the way the funniest thing ive read all week is this post on reddit i think where somebody asked for the pros and cons of different stem majors and so this one girl responded and she said she was a software engineer i believe and then she said “ok pro #1. i never have to wait in line for the bathroom ever again. there are more female restrooms in this building than there are women”

[codewitch]

pro #2: growing up i was surrounded by so many saras. just. saras everywhere. which sara do you want? but now, as a software engineer, I am the only sara. the eleven marks weep in jealousy. 

[lenarise-deactivated20191107]

the marks smdjdjdjdjd YEAH when i took my first compsci class the lab section had twice as many nicks than there were women

[geardrops]

someone was complaining to me about how there are too many ryans on the team, and i said “you wanna know how to fix that? hire more women” and the only other woman sitting nearby spat out her coffee

The Society of Women In Physics at my university had a whole campaign with the tagline “More Daves than Women” which was factually true in the physics department

THE LEGENDARY STORY OF THE TROJAN HORSE DOES NOT INVOLVE THE GREEKS GIVING THE HORSE TO THE TROJANS AS A GIFT. THE GREEKS’ DECEPTION WAS ACTUALLY THAT THEY LEFT THE HORSE AS AN OFFERING TO THE GODDESS ATHENA. 

IN THE LEGEND, THEY BASICALLY SENT SOMEONE TO TROY TO SAY “THIS HORSE IS FOR ATHENA, NOT YOU, SO OUR RETREAT BACK TO GREECE IS SAFE. DON’T TRY TO TAKE IT. IT WON’T FIT THROUGH THE GATES OF YOUR CITY, SO THERE’S NO WAY YOU DICKS CAN STEAL IT AND PRETEND YOU GOT IT FOR ATHENA. NOT FOR TROJANS.”

AND THEN TROY WAS LIKE “YOU’RE NOT OUR DAD. WE WON THIS WAR AND WE’RE TAKING YOUR STUPID HORSE AS A TROPHY SO WE’LL ALWAYS REMEMBER HOW BAD GREECE IS AT DESTROYING TROY.” 

AND A FEW TROJANS WERE LIKE “THIS IS A TRICK” AND TRIED TO EXPOSE IT AS A TRICK BUT THE REST OF THE TROJANS WOULD HAVE NONE OF IT BECAUSE EVERYONE WAS SWEPT UP IN THE THRILL OF VICTORY, AND ALSO BECAUSE THE GODS KEPT SENDING SNAKES TO STRANGLE ANYONE WHO SAID ANYTHING, BECAUSE THE GREEK GODS HAD NO WORD FOR “SUBTLETY”

THEN AT NIGHT ALL THE GREEKS JUMPED OUT OF THE HORSE LIKE “WE TOLD YOU NOT TO TAKE THE HORSE, WHY ARE YOU SUCH PRIDEFUL DICKS” AND BURNED DOWN THE WHOLE CITY
