Moments of Lucidity

She/her. 24 year old just trying to change myself, lose weight maybe, and post things I enjoy. Like art, anime, Tolkien, Welcome to Night Vale, and Star Trek. My fandoms are far reaching XD

[valtsv]

the only genuinely funny people on this bitch of an earth are either eldest siblings, people with bastard dads, or gays

[valtsv]

if you’re all three, you’re more powerful than any of the rest of us will ever be

[qlecs]

Omg Alec

[duckflyfly]

You’re part of the family.

[mihareth]

ALSO THE FACT THAT. ALEC HAS NO IDEA HOW MUCH HIS LOVE MEANS TO MAGNUS. BC HE IS A DUMB BITCH (I SAY THIS FONDLY). AND THINKS EVEN HIS LOVE. IS NOT WORTH MAGNUS’ LIFETIME OF PAIN W/O HIS MAGIC?

AND NOW HE WILL KNOW. WHEN MAGNUS LOOKS HIM IN THE EYE AND DOESN’T RECOGNIZE HIM. IM GOING TO JUMP INTO A RIVER.

[bytheangell]

Alec standing there, hearing Magnus tell him he isn’t that selfish, knowing that he’s in the middle of doing the most selfless thing he’s ever done.

Flint, Michigan w/o tap drinkable water for 1,806 days is a “true” emergency. The contamination of Flint’s water was authorized by Flint’s Governor, Rick Snyder & his lackeys.

This GoFundMe is little less than 20k from being fully funded!! If everyone gave just a little something it’d be funded in no time!

name one native american intellectual off the top of your head, name one native american actor or actress off the top of your head, name one native american senator, one native american news anchor, or an author or a tv personality or a singer or a poet or a comedian, name a single native american teacher you’ve had, can you? probably not 

ok so now think of one native american cartoon character you know of or a sports team relating to native americans whether it’s their actual name or their team logo, or a town you live in or near with a “native” name bet a lot of these things came to you right away i bet you didn’t even have to think 

needing native representation in media, education and government are not decoy issues, the commercialization and appropriation of native cultures are not decoy issues, the lack of native representation is institutional oppression at work 

[travelingstargazer]

White people specifically need to reblog this, I don’t CARE if it makes you uncomfortable–that’s the point. Listen to Native voices about Native issues PLEASE

[merrrrlion]

Been taking time to revisit old fanfiction today that I thought was damn good and MAN

SOME OF THEM

ARE 

DAMN 

GOOD

The one with dragon Seto and human prince Joey from YuGiOh?? So enjoyable!

The Kingdom Hearts one in modern day where Roxas is a self-destructive asshole and Axel is full of feels and it NEVer  FiniSHED and I STILL WEEP. 

Man, fanfiction is good. I hope some of these authors actually got the A’s they deserved in English. Or wrote more things. Because man these fucked.

[merrrrlion]

But like, I am excited that they are dealing with Magnus’s depression. 

If they do this, where is the follow up for Alec and his self-harm?????? Like I’ve been waiting for that????? And it was glossed over???? But that needs to be dealt with too?????? 

Also his guilt about Magnus and his magic???? More emotion for Alec please???? CHARACTER MOMENTS PLEASE??? For him as an individual???

[odlnsonss]

I know a lot of you guys don’t want to reblog those posts about the wildfires in Greece because they’re too long, so I figured I would make a shorter post for y’all. 

Here is a link on how to help and what the current situations are, and here is a direct link to the fundraiser.

As someone who has personally been affected by fire, I would really appreciate if y’all could sb this??

[phasered]

hey there LGBTQ kids who are also Christian/Jewish! If you feel like you’re disobeying God, questioning your faith, or feel wrong and dirty for loving who you love, there’s this fantastic site I found today called hoperemains that accurately and thoroughly combs through scripture and its (many) mistranslations, validates your orientation, and basically let’s you know that you’re not pissing off God. It’s insanely thorough and after reading through every page on the entire site it’s super helpful. Go check it out!

[wearyewe]

No no no! Jewish LGBTQ kinderlach! Go to Keshet! 

hoperemains is completely from a Christian perspective, and not pluralistic or interfaith at all.

[metallikato]

If you reblogged the first post from me please reblog this amendment so the Jewish peeps can access this resource too! 

[peppermintfeminist]

Trans Jewish kids, you can go to TransTorah as well!

[fuckyeahsexpositivity]

Muslim LGBTQ kids, you can go to iamnotharaam! It’s run by a mod squad of different genders and orientations, and they take submissions from everybody!

[spacevinci-blog]

MAY ANYONE WHO REBLOGS THIS BE ELEVATED TO THE EQUIVALENT OF SAINTHOOD IN THEIR RELIGION BLESS ALL OF YOU OH MY GOD.

[wickedkhaleesi-blog]

REBLOGGING THIS AGAIN BECAUSE IT’S SO FREAKING IMPORTANT TO ME AND ALL MY FOLLOWERS TO READ THAT DEAL WITH GRIEF AND GUILT WHILE BEING LGBTQ AND RELIGIOUS

[profanityandprophecy]

I created a masterdoc once of various religions and denominations of christianity and their LGBTQ affirming groups therein, esp. in the DC area (because that’s where I’m from). Lemme see if I can dig it up and post the info here.

In short, I don’t care WHAT you are, how conservative your denomination is, there’s 99.9% a group for LGBTQ& Allies for you. Yes, even THOSE groups.

Sorry there’s not many URLs. The list was for print.
