Ash || they/them ||22. Mostly She-Ra... @phoenixfictionaire is my Harry Potter side blog. Here for the shenanigans.

🟥 and 🟧⬛️ are now apparently being used by TERFs, as well as this horseshit. Supergay/superstraight/superlesbian/superbi just means “transphobe”, heads up

[tothemax04]

As a straight person I'd like to say I hope whoever came up with "superstraight" burns

[moralitycrisis64]

Time to manifest stepping on tacks for whoever came up with this supershit 🙃

Summary: The night that Harry and Dumbledore return from the cave, the Death Eaters are delayed from reaching the top of the Astronomy Tower for one more minute. Draco Malfoy lowers his wand. // A Deathly Hallows rewrite in which Draco accepts Dumbledore’s offer to fake his death and go into hiding with the Order of the Phoenix.

Ron stood on the edge of the rocky island, staring up at the wizard prison with his heart in his throat.

Azkaban was a dark monolith reaching up to the flat grey sky. There were no seabirds, no signs of life whatsoever. A pall hung over the place as if over a deathbed.

My goddamn fucking heart. @batmansymbol says redemption for ALL

(yes this is a link to ch. 23 but if you're new to this fic go back and read from ch. 1...this comparison has been destroyed by the internet, but I actually mean it when I say this is the best redemption arc I've seen since Zuko. The characters actually GROW. It puts so much TV to shame smh)

[moralitycrisis64]

Is it weird that everyone is obsessed with romance or am I maybe just aro?

hi friends, i hate to do this but my family is having an awful day – our house literally fucking burned down and we lost almost everything, including our dog. i’m heartbroken and devastated. i can’t stop crying. what wasn’t lost is now considered a biohazard and has to be either destroyed or deep cleaned, which just won’t work for things like my medication (which i will go into withdrawal without), burned phones, laptops, etc. almost all of our heirlooms, clothes, savings, etc are gone. just gone.

the cost to replace our necessities (clothes. shoes. etc) on top of medical fees (all 6 of us have to go to the hospital due to the amount of smoke and debris we breathed in) is overwhelming and it would be so very appreciated if anyone could help, whether financially or even through praying for us if that’s something you do. sorry this is so frazzled. i’m in shock and very very sad.

thanks and love always, dezzie. <3

a humble suggestion for the next time someone wants to take a crack at dracula

[inebriatednovelist-deactivated2]

I couldn't find the original post but this is still a good post!

[moralitycrisis64]

Ok but look. I've worked on planning fics before, fics I've written part of, fics I've never written, one shots I dare say I've even completed. AND DO YOU KNOW HOW HARD IT IS TO BE CONCISE

I'll die mad about this. I wrote 8 chapters of a prototypical Next-Gen fic just for fun and that shit was already 30,000 words long aka more than a third the length of The Sorcerer's/Philosopher's Stone and I HAD BARELY GOTTEN STARTED

100,000 words LOOKS like a lot on paper but when you actually start writing it out u have to pick your scenes SO CAREFULLY and

So yeah if you're a writer and you know how to be concise please let me know, I've got nothing

[moralitycrisis64]

Not to break into a new fandom but I don't understand why everyone's obsessed with capitalist Kuroo when he is, at worst, a salesman, and at best he's a marketer actively working to make sports more accessible to all

And meanwhile Kenma literally is the CEO of a corporation and plays the stock market 😆😆😆

(don't get me wrong I love both of them...but as a marketer myself I can tell you one of these people has SIGNIFICANTLY more power under capitalism than the other)

Some tips on eating as a poor person that aren't "live on dry beans and rice that take time and effort to make"

Food Banks Exist For YOU!! I don't need one anymore but am so thankful for them. You may hesitate to go to them bc you don't think you need it as badly as others... but from someone who spent years with their dad going to several, the food is there and they want to help. It isn't embarrassing; the people who volunteer are doing it for a reason, and ime treat you as a shopper, not a charity case. There are sites to find food banks. If you go to one, they usually have pamphlets for all the ones in the area. We never had to prove income or anything like that. They want to help, I promise.

If there's a local farmer's market, check to see if they have a subsidy program for people on food stamps. Another thing my dad and I used. At two separate markets 5 hrs apart, both had a program where you could DOUBLE your food stamp money in farmer's market coupons. Healthy, fresh, local, ethically raised food for less than the grocery store

If you go to a store more than once in a blue moon get the discount/membership/whatever card. It's usually super easy and almost always saves you a LOT of money

When in a supermarket, look at price per ounce if comparing items. Do not look at total price vs visual package size. Companies are experts at packing less and less food into larger packages. Grocery stores with a price per oz on the tags are so so helpful, but if they don't, sometimes it honestly makes a difference to use your phone calculator

CHECK IF YOU HAVE AN ALDI IN YOUR AREA. They sell actual seriously good, usually healthy food way cheaper than crappy stuff at other stores. This is for a lot of reasons I won't get into. But, it's also just a more ethical system for their workers, who make well above minimum wage. Aldi is Life. Tip: if you don't have reusable bags, keep an eye out for empty boxes as you shop. They don't bag anything for you.

BIG LOTS or other similar clearance/discount stores. They get an ever-changing stock of things at deep discounts. Lots of nice luxury and/or healthy groceries at half price as well as your normal staples. Also my go-to for home items and pet supplies

Shop Sales. This one is obvious to some but others just aren't in the habit. I almost exclusively buy things on sales where I save at least 1/3, usually 1/2. You can have a fully stocked pantry and freezer and spend half as much as if you only buy things when you want to eat that particular thing. It does mean less fresh food, but y'know. Just develop a laser eye for a sale tag and know where the clearance section is. Second nature to people who grew up poor but I was amazed shopping with college friends who bought full price name brand food and had trouble paying rent

I haven't done this but my brother swears by it. He went in with a few friends on a communal Costco membership. Could also do this with Sam's Club. They shop together, and then split bulk items if there's a great deal on something one person couldn't eat on their own. Bulk is the way to go if you can find a way to have the up-front cash. Impossible for many which is why the communal thing is so genius!

If this helps even one person it was worth writing out! I've realized last year, I learned a Lot growing up under the poverty line. It doesn't just appear in your brain when you're 22 and can't pay your bills for the first time.

Please feel free to add other tips if you have them. Just don't shame people for eating what they choose to eat like those "vegan dollar cookbooks" or whatever.

[moralitycrisis64]

Can confirm as someone who grew up in a family without a lot of money...food stamps are your best friend and ALDI is amazing

[co-superman]

God, I’m tired of fandom and the weird need to both insist fanfiction is important and culturally relevant, but simultaneously assert it’s not important enough to critique the rampant racism/sexism/fetishization and myriad other issues.

It’s like... either it’s a valid art form and therefore criticism is necessary for growth, or it’s not. Pick a side and accept the consequences.

[moralitycrisis64]

!!! exactly

I love and respect all of you but you have no idea how strange this sounds out of context 😆

[netheritenugget]

I'll add that to the list of weird things I've written completely seriously, along with "Tommyinnit was right. Technoblade did not listen to him at all. Tommy did not initially want to team with Techno.  Far from it actually.  Tommy just wanted to rob him and live in his basement."

[etherianinenine]

Now obviously I wouldn’t go the effort of plugging ‘LordHordak’ into a hexadecimal converter, then using the result to open a Twitter account, find a Hordak profile and header pic, and then spend an hour queuing up tweets written in a Captain Holt style. Because that would be much too far to go for a cheap gag…

[moralitycrisis64]

All Hordak fans please go follow this account immediately 😆

Am I in a fanfic?? Help 😳

So I have a childhood best friend, which means my prognosis is grim from the start. We met when they were 8 and I was 10. They were super shy and had no friends at the time, which 10-year-old me entirely failed to notice as I bounced right up to them every single week, being my loud, curious, unabashedly friendly childhood self.

Apparently they originally thought I was obnoxious, but in the 12 years we've known each other we've become very attached to each other (I was one of their first crushes) and are now best of best friends.

We've referred to ourselves as Miguel and Tulio from The Road to El Dorado (me: Miguel, them: Tulio) and as Hamlet and Horatio from Hamlet (me: Hamlet, them: Horatio)... they're quiet and sensible, I'm loud and dramatic; they dress in greys and blacks, I'm always finding new ways to flaunt the rainbow.

We've been mistaken for a couple at least twice, and although we're both sort of attracted to each other, we're also very aware of our INcompatibility in certain areas, so although we briefly considered dating a few years ago (I got scared and backed out), we ultimately decided we identify as queerplatonic.

This year, our goal is to move away from home and get an apartment together (depending on finances and the State of the World, of course), and that's got me thinking...

I've been concerned for awhile I might be stuck in a 100k childhood-friends-to-lovers slowburn bc (a) awkward and (b) I'm kind of tsun and very stupid when it comes to romance and I would be a DISASTER.

Anyway, figured I'd ask the experts. On a scale of "only one bed" to "and they were roommates," how screwed am I??

(and just to be clear, this is all for fun 😆 don't be afraid I'll actually make life choices based off this)

[moralitycrisis64]

I really hate that Tumblr came at me today with the "you look like you could use a break!" notif...I haven't seen that one before...how did it know I was more stressed than usual hOW DID IT KNOW

[birdsareblooming]

Tumblr post: Stop scrolling! You need to see something that will ruin your escape and make you more depressed about the state of the world!

Me: *keeps scrolling* :)

[birdsareblooming]

this is TOTALLY ok to rb, I, and others need to know that more people are like this.

You’re not selfish for ignoring current events. You’re not. 

ESPECIALLY if you’re like me and are a minor. We can’t do shit, so why should we be pressured into doing something we can’t do.

a lot of people use Tumblr as an escape, I do to, it’s somewhere to connect to fandoms and other lgbt people. 

Don’t let a post saying “You must reblog” get to you, it’s the same effect as “Rb or your mom dies.” It really is.

I want my blog to remain a “current-events-free” zone. I will not be crucified for it.

Do not be pressured by people telling you “You need to rb” it’s a scare tactic, and you are not selfish for not rbing. 

[thecrabbybarista]

Thanks cause I feel like I’m clogging up my profile sometimes

[moralitycrisis64]

I know I post about current events sometimes, but this is important too.

ALSO. For those of us who ARE adults (like me), we have to remember not to fall into the trap of thinking that reblogging = activism. It's really not. Yeah, spreading awareness helps, but it's way better to actually address the issue with available time/funds.

That's a lot harder...which is why, when the feeling of "I can do something about this, so I SHOULD take action" comes up...it's important not to simply reblog and call it a day.
