so many people ive known have pushed themselves to burnout trying to deny their disabled reality, skipping accommodations, skipping rests etc. and the world convinces them that the solution to their burnout is to push even harder. it’s a huge tragedy. i know social pressures make it tough but i want more disabled people to make things easier for themselves where possible, to opt out of things that harm them when possible, to quit while they’re ahead. be that person today! protect yourself where you can! take micro breaks while doing your hobby. get that shower chair. sit to brush your teeth. lie down in the middle of the day, even if only for 5 mins. these things add up and it’s so worth it.

happy disability pride month! ACCOMMODATE YOURSELF TODAY!

MAKDNOWANLOKMKSHES SO BEAUTIFULLLL

I've been wanting to draw something like this with her reflection showing her past and future AND THIS IS SUCH A GOOD COMPOSITION

AND THE SUN. AS A HALO. AAAHHHHHHHHH

Also the dead mirelurk 10/10 Liz would approve

after a certain amount of time an abandoned castle will just start growing maids like a fungus. and when some adventurer inevitably stumbles upon the place they’ll all immediately anoint her as their new princess. this can be a difficult process when the adventurer doesn’t start out as a girl but the end result is really just inevitable.

Some dude bro on the internet talking about the new She-Ra reboot: Ugh SJWs are taking over cartoons and making them all preachy. I hate it when shows try to push an agenda on kids. Why can’t they be like they used to be, you know?

Original He-Man, looking straight at the audience: We had a lot of fun here today, but you know what isn’t fun? Judging others based on how they look. Not liking a person because he or she is a different race or religion is wrong. Also, plant a tree, and don’t do drugs.

[bogleech]

Lou Scheimer was born to a German Jewish family and believed that his cartoons had a responsibility to teach children kindness and respect for everybody.

Back then there were also MILITANT divides between “boy’s” and “girl’s” entertainment but when he found out He-Man had at least a small following of little girls he pitched the concept of He-Man’s sister She-Ra and was insistent she be as tough a warrior as her brother. He saw that girls actually did like “scary” sword and sorcery and had a WHOLE NEW FUCKING SHOW made so they could feel acknowledged and have a heroine to look up to with her very own series.

Later he would help design a whole new sci-fi fantasy setting with the most creative control he ever had, Bravestarr, and was adamant that the hero be a Native American man, the first ever in a starring role on a kid’s action show. He also wanted Bravestarr to be a positive role model by being a patient, gentle, soft spoken man who abhors violence and avoids using guns at all costs. These cartoons are remembered as schlocky toy commercials and they ARE entertaining that way but real love went into them by a guy who wanted kids to grow up more sensitive and caring. Some of these same geeks crying about THE SJW’S were raised by even more bluntly progressive media than we’ve almost ever had and they didn’t even know it.

[northstarfan]

Bravestarr was shockingly inclusive for a late 80′s/early 90′s cartoon. If they faithfully remade that show, the jackasses going “teh SJWs ruined my childhood!” wouldn’t have a leg to stand on, because you already had a show where just about every recurring human character represented someone who’d be othered in the real world.

Lead character? Native American dude.  Love interest? Kickass lady who was also the only other authority of law on New Texas. Wise old sorcerer/mentor figure? Another Native American dude. Town doc? Black man. School marm? Black lady. Newspaper man? Wheelchair bound. The only white, (so far as we know) straight dude I recall was the mayor, and he was a blustering, cowardly pitiable scrap of a man. I mean, yeah. It was still a product of its time. There are several cringe-worthy veers toward stereotype with Bravestarr and Shaman across the series. The Prairie People are the unholy offspring of Jar Jar Binks and a desperate Ewok, which is all the more galling for their being the typical cutesy critter stand-ins for native peoples (just barely averted by the presence of actual NA characters in the cast). But Scheimer was still doing something very different with this show, and I’d love to see it get an update.

(Also, yes. I am an absolute sucker for a space western.)

[comradekatara]

atla just so happened to write one of the most insane and complex brother sister relationships in all of television, and yet for some reason everyone focused on zuko and azula instead, even though they are basically just normal siblings, and as such not even that interesting ..

[comradekatara]

their dynamic is more fraught and tragic than you could ever comprehend……

this☝️ is just a typical sibling interaction

[adrenaline-revolver]

katara and sokka are what happens when you are your brother’s mother and your brother also tries to be your father. you love them, you hate them, you’re half of them, you can’t stand them, you look after them, they keep you safe.

azula and zuko are both just gifted kid burnouts with a dad that only loves the winner.

[tanoraqui]

#yeah when they're not trying to kill each other azula and Zuko are p normal. #katara and sokka on the other hand spent the majority of their childhood trying to raise each other #and were also the ONLY kids in their age group that they ever interacted with. #they are so. they're so. #''i don't remember what my mom looks like I just picture katara'' WHEN HE HAS HIS MOTHER'S FACE. kills me.

the failure(s); the many loves of the vampire lestat

prints • insta • twt

[lioncunt]

the very idea that someone could sit down, watch lestat puke while still trying to rationalize the abuse, have a full blown panic attack over it when louis yells that there is no rationalizing this, and then go say it's consensual...that it's not portrayed as abuse...insane...

i also think a lot of people aren't really getting the *point* of louis' reaction. it's extremely harsh and judgmental and completely insensitive to the fact that lestat is being abused, but that is the purpose of it. the entire season is lestat attempting to justify it. this is louis saying that you cannot justify it. there is no rational way to justify that happening. and when lestat has a breakdown over it, they both sort of realize at the same time that this means lestat has been suffering incestuous sexual abuse for 200 fucking years.

it overwhelms lestat, and it clicks for louis. that's when he changes tacts, when he comforts lestat, when he gently tries to help him admit that it's been abuse all along in the bar. it's so realistic, such a necessary sequence.

i think there is unfortunately a knee jerk reaction people have to abuse like this, esp when it's mother/son, where it's just "gross", "weird", or "sick", as louis says. where the child is not taken to be a victim, somehow. i think the show is very honest in having this be louis' initial reaction, until he sees lestat's panic, until he properly thinks it through for a second. and then he gets it, and he feels horrible about what he said. again, it's just all very realistic and bittersweet. everyone involved did an incredible job with this storyline imo.

"Femboy/trap porn doesn't fetichise trans women"

Their giving them tits.

[moth-grrrl-mavis]

At best their chest is just kinda inexplicably round/protruding in a way that evokes the idea of breasts, at worst they've somehow developed actual tits after being feminize.

Theres a tag in rule34 called hormone breasts. Used exclusively on femboy posts.

[moth-grrrl-mavis]

In fucking hasbin hotel Angeldust has a tuft of spider fur on his chest clearly meant to look like tits.

[moth-grrrl-mavis]

Of course people who fetichise us don't depict transition as a beautiful liberating experience but a punishment meant for inferior men

[moth-grrrl-mavis]

And they're still tagging canon trans women as trap and femboy

[moth-grrrl-mavis]

Fuck you

[moth-grrrl-mavis]

Oh I spelled fetishize very wrong

[moth-grrrl-mavis]

Still fuck you.

[moth-grrrl-mavis]

And fuck the person who responded to me explaining how the term femboy was made to fetishize and dehumanize us by going "but my friend is a femboy so I will fight to defend this term". Is that really the time to be white knight your boy? Fuck you.

today I learned that in 2008, the city council of florence overturned dante’s sentence of execution if he returned from exile. yes, dante’s inferno dante, who died in 1321.

but the funniest part of this is not that they were debating the exile of a man who has been dead for over 500 years.

the funniest part is that the vote was 19-5. five people voted to uphold dante’s exile.

[stabethadeathwhisper]

The objectively funniest part of this is actually that the city that holds his remains, Ravenna, refused to give his remains back. This was a ploy from florence to have his remains moved back for the tourist money and its been ongoing for a long time. Florence had a fake tomb built in the city to trick people into visiting, and have tried to force the return of the remains.

His actual caretakers have been very steadfast in keeping them hidden, moved, or generally out of reach to respect his choice in life to never, ever, ever return to florence, even when he was first offered the chance to return. This is at this point an almost millenium long feud that florence is really, really mad about losing

[mysteryteacup]

so basically the five people who wanted to uphold his exile were in the right
