I'm just a queer girl in a queer-hating, girl-hating world.

[lolimnotfunnydude]

Accidentally back on tumblr at the big age of 31. Any other olds on here?

[indigenous-maya]

Just for clarification

We’re called Maya not Mayans. When you’re talking plural, it’s still Maya. Mayan is our language family/group.

I’m Maya. They’re Maya. The Maya calendar.

There’s roughly 30 or so different Maya ethnic groups with their own languages, traditions, clothing, culture, etc. just like the many different Pueblo Native groups in the southwest.

listen up this is how i imagine sokka in legend of korra (ie. he takes varrick’s place)

DEAD? WHO’S DEAD??

Ok so first of all, fuck billionaires and fuck weapon developers. so WHAT IF, listen up guys, WHAT IF sokka was the varrick of LOK? Okay, so

Sokka starts the show just as an eccentric inventor guy running around Souther Water Tribe and Republic City doing weird shenanigans. Forget that whole weird romance with his assistant, when you meet him everyone’s just like “oh yeah, he used to be married. But don’t mention the divorce, that really upsets him”,  and the LOK Team Avatar, being teenagers and therefore entirely self-absorbed by their own romantic failures, are like “ok sure got it lol”

everyone’s SO JAZZED to meet a member of the original Gaang, but then they realise Sokka’s just this chill old dude who spends his free time inventing random shit like moving pictures 

sokka is SO JAZZED to meet korra and he’s SO HAPPY she moved away to Republic City on her own to decide her own destiny.

the bisexual bro energy b/w him and Korra is too powerful to be contained, he’s the one who first sits her down and is like “I’ve seen you and Asami together, and you know you can be attracted….to both genders…right?”

Sokka’s the only person who loves to tell stories about Aang, but the catch is that no one knows if Sokka’s lying or not because all his stories sound fucking insane (”yeah and then we found a buried library run by a magic owl and his fox assistants, and then i got HIGH off my FACE on cactus juice”). 

Sokka directs Bolin in “The Adventures of Nuktuk” (our boy LOVES plays and acting, have you seen how he reacted in the ember island players episode??) and there’s like a bare minimum heterosexual love story but also Nuktuk has a brooding firebending sidekick and they spend a lot of time staring at each other and tenderly bandaging each other’s wounds

 Bolin: Uh…Sokka? Do I really have to lovingly brush my sidekick’s hair and talk about how I’ll always support him through the traumas of his past??? / Sokka (trying not to weep in the director’s chair): KEEP BRUSHING

yeah so Sokka keeps making cryptic comments about his ‘estranged husband’, but every one around him is a self absorbed teenager so they don’t notice

Zuko rocks up in Season 3 and again all the old people are like “oh yeah, he used to be married. But don’t mention the divorce, that really upsets him”

Later in Season 3 Zuko has a talk with Korra about the red lotus and adds casually “yeah so my divorce happened because I agreed you should be kept safe in a locked compound, but my husband disagreed and think you should be brought up in the world as a normal person. Our marriage kinda collapsed because of this. But i heard you guys are good friends now so ok that’s good”

Korra putting 2+2 together at last “OOOOHHH DAMN”

And blah blah blah, 3 years later Sokka gets kidnapped by Kuvira because he becomes obsessed with experimenting with Spirit Vine energy. He and Bolin makes it all explode and escape, and as they’re trudging along in the wilderness all of a sudden there’s a black shape in the sky and Bolin’s like HOLY SHIT IS THAT ZUKO’S DRAGON??

And Sokka’s like “YEAH THAT’S MY HUSBAND IN THE SKY NOW WE RECONNECTED DURING IN THE LAST THREE YEARS DIDN’T I MENTION THIS??”

They rock off and defeat a giant robot with a dragon. The End.

Hey kids, take it from an old forest hag: it's totally okay to half-ass your hobbies

... trace that picture for your journal

... like old cars without knowing how to fix them

... watch the movies without reading the comics

... super glue the part of the model

... learn one (1) way to make a braid

... watch how-to videos for every step of the recipe

... google every second word in that article

... use the automatic setting on your camera

And don't be ashamed. Real life isn't school. The all or nothing mentality is not healthy. Don't gate-keep yourself from stuff that might be fun. Shrug, grin, and hold eye contact with a boomer while you do it. It's good I promise.

[i-am-verybusy]

some writer snob somewhere: Do not start sentences with But or And because doing so is grammatically incorrect.

me, writing my fic: But I don’t care. And you can’t stop me.

[bich-the-moss]

Sometimes…..the flow of your creative prose…..is more important….than grammatical guidelines,,,,,,

[ziraseal]

[previouslysaltyfandombrat]

And a lot of the time, it makes the story better to start a sentence with and or but instead of using fucking commas, and yall can’t make me.

So I guess I'm a Wuko stan now

this is Sokka erasure

[princesokka]

the highly requested followup to the shared daydream comic has finally arrived

[dollsome-does-tumblr]

honestly, will poetic cinema ever reach higher heights than the part in the genghis khan music video where the james bond-y hero escapes and then promptly flings himself against the wall in lovelorn anguish and starts singing “ooh, i wanna make up my mind, but i don’t know myself”, echoing the supervillain’s piney lament from moments earlier, and you’re hit full force with the perfect epiphany of “OH SNAP, HE’S IN LOVE TOO!!!!!!!”??

i don’t think so. it’s just unbeatable! unbeatable!

(and then when he WHIRLS back around to dance his way to his supervillain boo? everything, everything.)

Don’t let the black and white trick you. The Capitol Crawl was in 1990. This is not ancient history.

[somekindaspacecadet]

This was in 1990.

Netflix basically just ruined the career of a black Muslim woman. They fucked up with the promotion of that movie

[guccixcucci]

Cuties is not some sick pedophilic movie.

The director, Maïmouna Doucouré, is a Senegalese woman and the movie is based off her own life. The movie talks about the hypersexualisation of young girls.

Y'all rushed to send her death and rape threats and she had to deactivate all her socials.

This is the original poster but for some reason Netflix decided to put out that other one and use that gross description.

[guccixcucci]

You can talk about how frustrating it is that Muslim girls only get “I hate my religion and some white person is saving me from oppression” as representation. But this is not that. She’s talking about her life. The problems you have aren’t with her it’s with production companies.

[inrainbows-deactivated20211029]

this is a review from january, long before this poster controversy, and it notes that there’s some heavy and uncomfortable subject matter, but praised doucouré for the way she handled it. there is no mention of pedophilia or inappropriate content. a film where little girls are figuring out who they are and what it means to grow up in this culture that keeps sexualizing women younger and younger is difficult and it’s going to make people uncomfortable, but this film is not the problem. if you are raising your eyebrows at some of the things mentioned in this review, that is the point. 

netflix botched this, they have admitted to botching it, they have publicly apologized, and they will release the film with a different poster. people are ruining a woman’s life and career because she dared to share her own story and dared to speak out about something that affects all girls and women. Maïmouna Doucouré’s coming-of-age movie criticizes the very outrage that’s now being lobbied against it.

[st-just]

I swear to fuck you’d think people would bother doing, like, thirty seconds of research before devoting themselves to ending someone’s career and barraging her with death threats.

[thundergrace]

Oh my God! 😭 You dropped this queen 👑

[thundergrace]

To think I thought I knew what ethereal beauty was before now. Laughable.

I’ll always remember Chi Chi as sweet and powerful; these are a couple little moments that I fell in love with her. The drag community has lost so much today. RIP beautiful ❤️
