Can't Take the Sky From Me @latibulefizzgig - Tumblr Blog

contrary to popular belief not everyone has an innate sense of internal gender or care to have one or seek a name for it, some people go their whole lives without questioning their occupation in one of two gender roles, but for some people, if pressed, they don’t feel that internal sense of ‘i am a woman’ or ‘i am a man’, and in that case i feel the switch over to transgender vs cisgender relies on active identification of a gender other than the one they were assigned. if someone’s like ‘idk dude I just work here’ then that’s valid

#i would describe my gender as not exactly ‘idk dude i just work here’ #more like…..when someone assumes you work somewhere that you don’t #but you know how to help them so you do it anyway #my gender is wearing a red shirt at a target

These are the best tags

A portion of people in the notes are like ‘but that makes you trans. That’s called being agender’ and another portion of people are going ‘this is how the majority of cis ppl feel and it’s NOT agender’ and personally I feel like both of them are missing the point here. Yes a lot of people identify as agender because of this feeling. Yes a lot of people with this same feeling still identify as cis. These are not mutually exclusive experiences and it doesn’t mean the agender people are secretly cis or the cis people are secretly agender. It just means they have very similar experiences of gender that they choose to conceptualize and label differently, and neither of them are mistaken or wrong to do so.

Essek betrayed his country for his family and Caleb betrayed his family for his country and both were nearly destroyed by the weight of their actions name a better narrative foil duo

#wait this is frying me now because. #essek chose not to reveal the one motivation that caleb would have sympathized with the most. #because to him it's more selfish and shameful than lofty intellectual concerns. #and caleb kept trying to appeal to essek's patriotism because to CALEB that's the most powerful motivation lever to push #but essek fucking hates his country for what it did to him.#tearing my hair out (via @venndaai)

I like that this episode gave the audience nowhere to hide from who Caleb used to be

with the campaign, there was a degree of separation between the audience and what Caleb was describing. the simple nature of the show's format provided the audience tacit permission to downplay and soften Caleb's story, even while Caleb himself tries to impress on everyone that he believed in what he did. ("It was a good time. We believed in the Empire, we were going to keep it strong. He was cruel. He hurt us a lot. Made us go through extreme circumstances, but we got strong." / "He made you executioners?" "We wanted to be.")

the animation provides no such luxury. we are given graphic, up-close depictions of the kinds of things Bren did to people as a Volstrucker. the camera lingers on the violence. nowhere to hide. that's also why it's so important that they removed the false memory Trent gave Bren and replaced it with the trio simply taking him at his word.

what happened to Bren was a horror and a tragedy, and the show makes you look at it, really look at it. it says "don't look away. this is what was done to him. this is what he did. this is what he believed in. will you accept him still?"

okay everyone I'm gonna need you to lock in and remember: thaisha has personality traits beyond being a mother. thaisha can interact with characters in ways that aren't necessarily maternal. thaisha left her children to go travel and save the world and stuff. she doesn't need to be The Mom Friend all the time to everyone. thaisha lloy rolled up to the funeral of a loved one and almost immediately started going drink for drink with a demon. she's complex like that.

I guess we're doing necromancy on this damn post so since I've been unceremoniously summoned from the grave, let me share a fun fact about lions: the idea that male lions are lazy and incapable of hunting is a myth! a myth so widespread that I got sick of people repeating it in the notes of this post and turned off reblogs!

but now it's back, so to set the record straight, lions and lionesses have different but equally important roles within a pride, which was kind of the whole point of the OP. while lionesses are the primary hunters in a pride, males have the important job of defending the territory and any cubs from rival lions and other threats. but both males and females are capable of performing either of those roles when circumstances require it (male lions can and do hunt for themselves, even once they have a pride of their own, and female lions have been known to take on a "male" role in some prides). a lion that can't feed itself is not a lion that lives long enough to ever have a pride.

the moral of this post was never "haha men are useless and stupid" it's "humans, like lions and wolves, are social animals that thrive best with the support of a community/family, and it's ironic that the types of people with the most individualistic/isolated approaches to life have chosen other highly social animals to represent how they see themselves."

thanks for coming to my TED talk, captive audience.

Come to think of it, "lone wolf" should really refer to a paradoxical being.

the weird part about being part of a well-known company with a large fandom is that I simultaneously want to never be persevere by the fandom and also um actually all of the things.

Anyway. I'm back on tumblr

Comments about Aabria "inserting herself" and "taking too much attention" really brings to mind this study that used to go around, about how female students that were responsible for half of the discussion were perceived by men as talking a lot more than them, and when they were actually talking a lot less, they were perceived as speaking as much as the men.

The problem here is that a significant portion of the audience has a very low tolerance for a black woman to take any amount of space. Anything more than being a fly on the wall is going to feel intrusive to them. Aabria participating in roleplay is seen as disruptive by the same people who would never ne bot5hered by Sam derailing an entire scene with a joke on his flask (just an example)...

I wish I knew the exact time and date that harry told snape ‘there’s no need to call me sir professor’ so that I could take a moment of silence to remember the moment each year

Judging from the context of the chapter…

We know that it’s September 2nd. I’d put it between 9:00 AM and 11:00 AM. (They have breakfast and then a free period. They have Snape’s class before their break, which was before their lunch.)

yaneela

But in the UK first period typically only starts at 9 AM. So free period from around 9-10 AM and Snapes class from 10-11 AM I’d say.

perhapsarat

Okay so 10am-11am every September 2nd is now an hour dedicated to remembering the most glorious piece of dialogue ever spoken by a fictional character

perhapsarat

I hope everyone is prepared. The time is almost upon us.

Tonight I may have had an encounter with the smoothest human being on earth.

As many of you know I work as an actor in a haunted house. This is a fun job for many reasons, but witnessing people’s reactions to being scared is by far the best. I’m a scare window actor, which means I hide behind a section of the wall that is held up by a latch that I can lift and drop away suddenly, scaring people with both my scream, and the loud sound my window makes upon being dropped. I have a small hole drilled in the wall to look through to see people passing.

The smoothest human being on the planet wore a white hoodie. He came in a group with three other friends. I did not expect to scare him much. After a while you can kind of gauge just by what you can glimpse from your peephole whether someone will be a good scare or not. Men in their 20’s in a mixed group of friends typically do not get scared easily. But this guy was wearing white in my blacklight-equipped hallway, so he had made himself an easy target and I had to take advantage.

I dropped my window precisely when he was in front of it.

He leapt back toward the wall on the other side of my narrow hallway and his drew back his arm like he meant to punch me.

“This is it.” I thought. “I’m finally going to be socked in the face for scaring someone.”

But I was wrong.

His arm kept curling back behind his head. Smoothly, flawlessly, effortlessly he tucked his hand behind his head, leaned back on the wall opposite me, and propped a foot up on the plywood frame of my open window, reclining with ease.

“So, come here often?” He asked.

All of this occurred within the span of a second. Maybe two.

I was shook. I was stunned. I almost broke character.

I shrugged. “Only on the weekends.” I replied with my character voice. His group laughed. He double finger gunned me and walked on.

I will never forget him.

I cannot stress enough how perfect his transition from his fear reaction to his playboy act was. It flowed so naturally.

He is already a legend in my haunt.
