I think Self Shippers need to kick it up a notch and have Fictional Enemies, make a self insert whose life goal is to beat the shit out of a canon character

[wired-heartbeats]

This is the the funniest fucking tag I’ve seen on this post yet

[susiephone]

tag your fictional enemies in the tags, the ones your self-insert will falcon punch given the slightest opportunity

[pansexualpandion]

I don't really do self-inserts. Instead, I steal characters from other universes and put them in areas where the characters who are there in canon are woefully out of their league.

Your doctor recommends a treatment. They tell you to check if your insurance will cover it. Your insurance booklet is 82 pages long. It tells you everything. It tells you nothing. Do you have insurance? You don’t know anymore

Your doctor’s office sends a prescription to the pharmacy. The pharmacy sends a request for approval. Your doctor sends approval. The pharmacy is still waiting for approval. The doctor is in the same room as the receptionist as they discuss the approval. The doctor has left for the day

You are on hold. You have been there for hours, or was it minutes? You don’t remember who you are on hold with. You don’t remember why you called. Your phone screen has dozens of numbers from an unknown phone tree. They thank you for your patience

They don’t know what is wrong with you. They give you a diagnosis. They know exactly what is wrong with you. They give you a different diagnosis. The diagnoses conflict with each other. Every doctor is right, but maybe none of them are. They give you another diagnosis

They tell you they’ll call you back with information. Days pass. You call and ask for the information. They tell you the information and tell you they’ll call you back with more. They call you the next day to tell you the same information again. They will call you back with more information

You call the hospital. You leave a message with the requested information. You’ve called them every day for months. They are your most called number. No one has ever answered. That department does not exist. You try another department. You are redirected to the first one. You leave another message

You take your pills. You don’t know if they help, but you know you have to take them. What are they for? You don’t remember. You have missed a dose. You are out of pills

Your doctor recommends a new test. You both know you cannot afford to get it. They write a referral you will never follow through on

Your treatment is expensive. Your insurance will make it less expensive. You use your insurance. It costs even more now

The pills don’t help. They increase the dose. The pills don’t help. They increase the dose. You are taking so many pills. This time it will help. The pills don’t help

They will call you soon to make an appointment. It is important. They never call. You call them. They apologize for the delay; they will call you soon to make an appointment. They never call

Something is wrong. They will run a test. The test says nothing is wrong. Something is wrong. They will run another test

You hope something is wrong so you can treat it. You hope nothing is wrong so you don’t have to. They are both true

Your contacts are full of doctors and pharmacies and insurance numbers. You have no room for your friends or family. You have never spoken to your doctor. A machine thanks you for your call. You ask to speak to a person. They send you to a different machine. There are no representatives. This is a more efficient way of doing things

The doctor will see you now. The doctor cannot see you. The doctor will not diagnose you. The doctor will not rule out any diagnoses. The doctor does not know what you should do. You pay your copay anyway

hey fall is coming around and that post “intrusive thought: eat a leaf” or whatever is probably gonna be floating around again so here’s a reminder that that post is not describing intrusive thoughts, but rather an impulse. intrusive thoughts are serious and can cause significant distress and should not be treated lightly. all those uwu relatable intrusive thoughts uwu posts are made by people who have a crucial misunderstanding of what intrusive thoughts are and likely don’t actually experience them, so keep that in mind before you start reblogging them uncritically. keep your mutuals with actual intrusive thoughts in mind and don’t reblog posts mocking and downplaying their experiences

An Actual Real Person my Dad knew. Pretty sure he worked as a bush guide. When someone asked the time he’d pull off his hat - some kind of broad brim - and use to take a few measurements of the sun’s position relative to the horizon. Then he’d declare the time.

He was accurate to the minute.

america’s response to 9/11 caused my chemical romance to form in protest

mcr inspired stephanie meyer to write twilight

twilight gets a movie deal

michael sheen gets casted as aro in the twilight films

a reporter asks michael sheen why he’s in such a silly film series for such a silly genre

michael sheen defends the genre publicly and cites neil gaiman’s works

neil gaiman hears about this and reached out and they go to dinner and eat illegal octopus

neil gaiman and michael sheen become friends

years later neil gaiman finally gets to adapt good omens for tv and casts michael sheen as aziraphale

YOU KNOW WHAT BOTHERS ME

when fantasy books describe the cloth of Quant Farmpeople’s clothing as “homespun” or “rough homespun”

“homespun” as opposed to what??? EVERYTHING WAS SPUN AT HOME

they didn’t have fucking spinning factories, your pseudo-medieval farmwife is lucky if she has a fucking spinning wheel, otherwise she’s spinning every single thread her family wears on a drop spindle NO ONE ELSE WAS DOING THE SPINNING unless you go out of your way to establish a certain baseline of industrialization in your fake medieval fantasy land.

and “rough”??? lol just because it’s farm clothes? bitch cloth was valuable as fuck because of the labor involved ain’t no self-respecting woman gonna waste fiber and ALL THAT FUCKING TIME spinning shitty yarn to weave into shitty cloth she’s gonna make GOOD QUALITY SHIT for her family, and considering that women were doing fiber prep/spinning/weaving for like 80% of their waking time up until very recently in world history, literally every woman has the skills necessary to produce some TERRIFYINGLY GOOD QUALITY THREADS

come to think of it i’ve never read a fantasy novel that talks about textile production at all??? like it’s even worse than the “where are all the farms” problem like where are people getting the cloth if no one’s doing the spinning and weaving??? kmart???

[systlin]

THANK U

[rosslynpaladin]

pro tip: what do you say instead? I gotcha.

 In Ye Olde Medieval Fantasy Dayes, everybody’s layer against skin (shirt tunic or shift) is gonna be linen. it’s almost never wool except stockings or hose (like pant legs). Say “undyed cloth” if you wanna make them sound simple and peasanty. Comment on how you can tell it wasn’t made for them (the fit is off) and has had probably eight owners before. 

Outer clothing is gonna be either wool, or a blend called Linsey-woolsey, and again you could say Undyed, but dyes are not only common they are CHEAP and relatively easy. (innerwear is often left undyed or bleached to white because it gets washed to heck- like beaten by a wooden stick on a stone by the river- and dye would just fade out a lot so why bother. Ths is also why innerwear has ties, rarely buttons, unless you are so rich you have people doing your washing delicately because they’re hired to do only that. Buttons would get broken in the washing)

A poorer person is often seen in “russet”, a kind of rusty orange-brown color. Purple was famously reserved for royalty in many times and places, but its  also just hard to do. We see a lot more magentas and fuschias for nobles or common middle class folks than we ever see of Purple- and not many of those. Deep blue was more likely on very rich people, but a light blue was common for even poorer folks. Yellow was popular with everyone, and so was green, and many shades of reds, including the color we now call orange (they did not- this is why redheads are called redheads and not orangeheads). Your vision of everyone in very drab brown and mud colors is from Hollywood- most medieval-ren folks have clothing with colors. Sometimes garish colors, to the modern eye. Traffic cone Orange and acid green was a popular combo in the 13th century.

[elfwreck]

Example medieval dye colors. Lots of yellows and orangey-browns. Woad gave a range of blues that are basically what we think of as “denim colors.” There were purples - royal purple was a specific color from a specific source - but if you mix wine-dye and woad-dye, you get purpleish dye. (Getting the color to stay that way may be more difficult. Everything worn by peasants fades; they couldn’t afford the really good fixatives.)

More examples and explanations here: 

Plum, dusty purple, lavender, burgundy, chestnut, blood red

Walnut, chocolate, tan, linen, pale apricot, spice, dark spice

Peasant clothes were often more colorful than the nobility. Nobles could afford bright, clear colors that peasants couldn’t - but one mark of wealth was being able to buy all 4-8 yards of fabric for an outfit at the same time. So nobles would have a full outfit, including hat, stockings, even shoes, of one type of fabric (with ornamentation of a contrasting type, and as many buttons or bits of silver as they could get away with wearing), while peasants would often have a shirt, bodice or jerkin, skirt or pants, stockings, and hat of all different colors.

Dying or re-dying any one piece of clothing was within most of their cost limits - dye itself is cheap; fixatives cost. But boiling your shirt for an hour with onion skins in a copper pot would re-color the fading fabric.

And yet more medieval dye colour samples:

[historic-old-guard-lover]

While centered on medieval Europe for the finer points, this is broadly true for any clothing needs

Cinderella was too weak to fight for herself...AND THAT’S OKAY!

I cannot believe we’re still tearing Cinderella down! 2018 only has a few months left and we’re still doing this, we’re still painting her as the weakest Disney princess and we’re still painting her weakness as a bad thing?

Why?

Why are people so caught up on bashing this princess?

“The movie is so simplistic—”

In what way is it possibly simplistic?!

“She didn’t work hard—”

YES, SHE DID!

“Well, okay, but the fairy godmother still had to come in—”

Yep, I remember the movie too, and the countless stories on which it’s based.

“So the fairy godmother was the one who caused the happily ever after.”

She sure was, now, what’s your point?

No, really, what’s your point? Is the point that Cinderella is somehow weak because she wasn’t 100% in control of her own life? Seems like a pretty disgusting opinion to have when the whole movie is about an abuse victim finding a way out of her horrible situation. So Cinderella wasn’t the one who got herself out. So what? Instead of looking the movie at its bare surface, maybe try analyzing it with a bit more thought and tact. You might see something a little different. A magical transformation, if you will.

Because Cinderella did work hard.

And guess what we learned from that?

You can work

and work

and work

And there will still be people out there who will try to tear you apart:

Literally.

And that sucks. It’s a horrible lesson to learn but it is something we will all face in our lifetimes. There will always be people who will try to tear us down, there will always be people who will try to rip us apart, until we’re in a low place:

Until it seems like there’s no hope…

Until it seems like you’re too weak to get out on your own…

And maybe you are.

Maybe you are too weak to get out on your own. Maybe you’re not the strongest woman in the world. Maybe you’re not capable of screaming at the top of your lungs or brandishing a weapon or throwing a punch. Maybe you’re not able to get out of something on your own. Maybe you hit a low point and maybe you have no way out of it. Not alone. But that’s just it.

You’re not alone.

Even at your lowest point, someone will come help you.

You don’t have to do it all alone.

It’s okay to have a little help when you have nowhere else to turn.

Cinderella is the story about an abuse victim who is unable to get out of her toxic situation by herself and just when she begins to lose all hope, is able to get help from an unlikely source. It’s the story about a girl who needs help getting to her happily ever after and that’s okay. 

Give us advocates:

They deserve their happily ever afters!

Give us warriors:

They deserve their happily ever afters!

Give us fighters:

They deserve their happily ever afters!

Give us girls who are not advocates, girls who are not warriors, girls who are not fighters, girls who still deserves their happily ever afters:

This reminds me of that quote that Mr. Rogers said his mother told him: “Look for the helpers. You will always find people who are helping.”

[butterflyinthewell]

YOU might be the magical fairy godmother in someone’s life and not even know it. Something you said to somebody could have saved their life, or given them the courage to ask for help.

[brunhiddensmusings]

people miss the point that the whole reason cindarella was a sympathetic character was that after all that abuse and being crushed she was still determined to be a good kind person who was nice to animals, sang to herself, and didnt lash out or get spiteful early disney princesses may not have been actively controlling their own destiny but they were still trying to convey that remaining a good person paid off, despite the temptations of giving up or becoming cold and hard had she gone to the ball being mean spirited or bitter, or actively looking to wed into money, the story would not have been the same as the one where she only wanted one night of magic to break the monotony of her servitude

[disney-is-mylife]

HELLO, I FOUND MY NEW FAVORITE CINDERELLA POST. BLESS THIS!!!! 

[ima-proud-disnerd]

Cinderella was my FAVORITE Disney Princess as a child, as well as Ariel. I really looked up to her, because it takes alot of internal strength to remain a kind and positive person after abuse like she went through. Sure, she isn’t the most assertive and she’s not the most physically strong one (from what we see) or even the best fighter, but she’s strong in other ways.

To me, that is admirable.
