NEVER TAKE YOUR SIBLINGS FOR GRANTED

To those of you who have siblings:

Whether you’re best friends

And you never go anywhere without each other

Or you fight all the time

Or don’t know each other that well

Or even at all

Even when they annoy you

Or take your stuff

You have someone who you were born to love

And someone who was born to love you

You have someone who would probably die for you

Even if they wouldn’t admit it

So tell your sibling that you love them today

Even if they look at you weird

Cuz you’ll never know how lucky you are

Until you don’t have them.

With Love, 

An Only Child

[potbelly-stove]

how it ends kinda makes me think that they weren’t always an only child

Three years ago, my dog went viral on Imgur and Reddit, thanks to this picture I took right after she’d yanked down a post from the front of our house with her bare strength.

But like the image above says, this is not a good post.

That dog above, the one that made so many people laugh, her name is Eva, and she’s my 7-year-old lab. She was just diagnosed with canine lymphoma.

Without chemo, she only has 3 months left with us. But her oncologist has given her a good prognosis with chemotherapy. She could live to see her 9th, 10th, and even 11th birthday.

Which means more years of this happy, ridiculous puppy.

The price to extend her life? $8500.

I nearly died when I saw the number. I’m paying off 4 student loans right now, and my parents are in insurmountable debt. I thought, this is it, we’re screwed. In between crying spells and anxiety attacks, I realized what my choices were: give up and let Eva go in the next 3 months, or crowdfund my ass off.

Internet: you’ve done it before, now I’m begging you, do it again. Spread Eva like wildfire. She deserves a second chance. She deserves the extra time, and all the fun and happiness she’ll have in that time.

Here is the link to her gofundme.

Any amount you can donate will help tremendously. Please, help Eva.

[daynapapaya-deactivated20181023]

Eva has raised over $3,000 in one week!!! Part of that is because of many tumblr users who have donated, thanks to so many of you reblogging this. Please keep sharing. Tag people you know who have lots of followers. Post it on your facebook. On reddit. On twitter. Everywhere!! I have 17 weeks to come up with $5,000 more for this fantastic pupper.

New tactic for week 2: anyone who reblogs this post will get an automatic follow from me. You don’t have to follow me back! If it gets more people to reblog this post, I’ll do whatever it takes.

11 Self-Defense Techniques (That Even A Child Could Use)

[xxxkyrareaperxxx-deactivated201]

These are great! These are all really useful methods of defending yourself and I actually learned most of these in my Krav Maga classes. 

I would have to go up against people (usually guys) twice my size and could easily overpower me, but these tricks DO work and they don’t require a lot of strength.

The way JMO said “I don’t know…I think it might be Emma getting down on her knee…" 

And then we have the filming spoiler of Killian reacting to something Emma says outside of Granny’s in 5x23…and kissing the life out of her…

 ….JMO…did you just tell us something…

[on-the-nightshift-deactivated20]

My thoughts exactly.

Did JMo have another “suck him into the darkness” moment??

Do you think it is easy?????? For them to come up to Disney and say “hi we’re making these classic princesses gay” it is not, unfortunately Disney’s general audience is made of people who are deep down against it. As much as it is important and Disney itself is trying to change that they’re taking baby steps.

Disney is making a movie about mulan and tbh they probably didn’t use mulan because of that.

But we did get bisexual representation, we did get Dorothy and red riding hood making out in front of thousands of american families who probably hated it. But we did it, now if you want to join these people and bash the authors because it wasn’t how you planned go ahead.

I’m tired of seeing ppl complaining about “not seeing enough cs” or “what about mulan”.

And yes, it was fast, Eric and Ariel was fast, snow/herc was fast. Anyway, I’m happy, complain all you want but I’m happy.

Once Upon a Time adds a LBGT relationship which was an extremely bold move (hence so many homophobic people claiming not to watch). We were already suffering in ratings and now people are going to stop watching the show because they can't handle the fact that love is love. Not only do we have the homphobic people, we have people who are compaining about the relationship because it was not enough?? So many people on this show have fallen in love within days (same with the actual Disney films). Just because it isn't like the fanfics you have read does not make this bad writing. It was a beautiful story and we are lucky Adam and Eddy decided to go with such a bold move when the show is already suffering in ratings. As for Mulan she is a warrior and her not finding love right away makes her relatable (heck how many of Emma's boyfriends have died?!). The complaining in this fandom is ridiculus and I have kept quiet until now. Just because things were not written the way you like does not make it a bad story. Complaing about it along with people dropping the show due to being homophobic could have Adam and Eddy regretting it in the first place. Love is love so glad they added LBGT characters, it is important for everyone to know that their happy ending is possible.I will continue to support wherever these two amazing creators of the show decide to take it!

[cherrykillings]

hey hey buddy you’re watching once upon a time a show where people have been born out of eggs and you also had pregnant dragon ladies so if a pair of girls fell in love in just one episode, it should be the least weird thing you’ve seen in the show

[westernskiesofoz]

People are actually using the argument that it’s not right or fair to take a well known fairy tale and rewrite it and change it Like..

What do you think the entire show is about??????
