A lot of people are really scared and angry because of the results of the newest climate change reports — as they should be. But I’m already seeing a lot of posts and news reports like “HERE’S WHAT YOU CAN DO TO FIGHT GLOBAL WARMING” and bizarrely enough, the answers are never like “weed out climate change deniers from your government, impose strict new rules for the corporations that are  creating most of the emissions, pour government resources into alternate forms of fuel, etc.” It’s always like “carpool to work!”

Look. Of course you should be working to reduce waste in your own life. But let’s not fucking pretend that consumers are the ones who made this mess. You know what another recent study found? Just 100 companies are responsible for 71% of global emissions. If the rest of us stopped ALL WASTE and fucking ascended to a higher plane of existence that no longer requires consumption of any kind, the world would still be absolutely fucked if those 100 companies keep on as they do.

I hate this personal responsibility model when it comes to conservation. By ignoring the actual source of the problem and focusing on individuals instead, guess who gets targeted? The absolute most vulnerable individuals on the planet. When people advocate personal responsibility, somehow they’re never talking about billionaires and their private jets. They’re creating straw bans that will make life more dangerous for people with disabilities. They’re shaming women for using disposable menstrual products. They’re criticizing the poor and destitute for using “wasteful” products because they’re all they can afford. They’re making vaguely eugenic statements about getting people in “third world countries” to stop ~breeding~ so much. It’s monstrous.

Stop shaming consumers for the sins of corporations and their powerful investors. Stop placing the blame at the feet of the people who already have the hardest time getting through life. Do something, and by “do something” I mean buy a reusable coffee cup on the way to fucking vote. Go to a protest. Call a representative. Demand accountability from the people who got us into this mess.

Hetalia Characters as Teachers (part 3)

[potterjackson22personal]

Finland: The math teacher that all of the students who pay attention and do their homework really love because he's super sweet and gives out snacks when you come in for tutoring but he's also actually really strict on rules and makes you call home if you didn't do your homework, it's terrible.

Sweden: The wood shop teacher who no one understands. He mumbles so much and the students always have to sort of piece together what he said based on what each of them heard. He's really chill though, you have to mess up really bad to get in trouble.

Denmark: The dorky science teacher who sometimes shows Bill Nye even though this is advanced biology what are you doing??? Students either love him and think he's the best or think he's a loser and generally find his enthusiasm really annoying.

Norway: The science teacher who also thinks Denmark is a loser and generally finds his enthusiasm really annoying. To most students he seems like a pretty normal teacher, doesn't talk much other than when he's lecturing, but those who get to know him discover that he's a pretty weird guy too, and he apparently believes in bigfoot.

Iceland: The new English teacher who acts very cool and hip and tries to pretend he doesn't care but actually cares so much. He really just wants all of the other teachers to approve of him and to keep this job. The students love him though because he's young and "gets them".

Lithuania: The kindest history teacher. His class is all business, relatively dull, but this poor guy will do anything to help his students pass. He gives retakes, extensions, extra credit, but he's always really trying to make sure they're actually learning.

Estonia: That one teacher who seems to teach like ten different subjects. He usually teaches choir an economics, but it seems like every time an extra section of a class gets opened up, he's the one who's stuck with it. He likes what he does, though, and always seems happy to teach whatever is thrown at him.

Latvia: The teaching assistant who is very nervous, and will quickly do anything the teacher wants but for some reason always seems really afraid to mess up. The students kinda feel bad for him, and they always watch as he runs out of the room to make copies.

Netherlands: The cool English teacher who you can talk to about anything. Students are completely open with him and they never get into trouble or get scolded. Also everyone wants to fuck him, and every once in a while a rumor will pop up that someone actually did.

Four rich fathers go golfing.

One of them stays behind to pay the bill and the other three proceed to the first hole. While golfing, the three fathers start bragging about their sons.

The first father says, “I am very proud of my son Arthur; he is my pride and joy. He started working at a very successful company at the bottom of the barrel and now he is at the top!  He became so rich that he gave his best friend a top of the line Mercedes Benz for his birthday.”

The second fathers says, “My son Ivan is also my pride and joy, I am very proud of him. He went to flight school to become a pilot and managed to become a partner in the company where he now owns the majority of the assets. He became so rich that he gave his best friend a brand new jet for his birthday.”

The third father says, “Well, well, well - congratulations! My son, Ludwig, is also my pride and joy and is also very rich. He became an engineer. He started his own construction company and became very successful and a multimillionaire. He built a mansion especially for his best friend.”

Then the fourth father catches up and they ask him how his son is doing.

The fourth father replies, “Oh, my son Alfred is gay and he makes a living dancing as a stripper at a nightclub.”

The three friends shake their heads and say, “What a shame, you must be so unhappy! How tragic.”

The fourth father replies with a bright smile, “Oh no, I am not ashamed at all! Alfred is my son and I love him just as well; he’s my pride and joy. And he is much loved by his friends too. Did you know that his birthday just passed and the other day he received a Mercedes Benz, a brand new jet and a huge mansion from his three suitors?”

Grandpa fights/arguments in the context of Germania×Rome? (If that makes sense?)

I think I got what you meant?…maybe…let me know if I got it wrong. -Admin Jay

Germania and Rome

Rome: “Well back in my day-”Germania: “We are from the same day!”

Germania: “These damn kids and their technological fruit.”Rome: “For the last time, it’s a phone, not food!”

Rome: “I demand a carriage!”Germania: “It’s a taxi, dammit.”

Germania to Prussia: “Back in our day, we didn’t have these fancy doctors and medicine. We just died.”Rome: “But we died drunk!”

[hetaliatxtpostz]

Thoughts from @marfacat:

Everybody likes to portray Germany as like this responsible adult but the man is younger than AMERICA and was raised by PRUSSIA. I feel like he’s just super extra about everything

Prussia: Ludwig why are you holding a funeral in the backyard…?

Germany: *solemnly* It was the best shirt I ever had. 

Prussia: LUDDY WHY ARE YOU MICROWAVING RAW POTATOES 

Germany: Only the strong will not explode. It’s natural selection. 

Prussia: I’m back– 

Germany: You were gone five minutes longer that you said you would be. You’re a failure and a disgrace to this household. I had to feed your dogs for you, and I finished all of your chores. You’re tearing this family apart.

Prussia: Jesus Christ I was GETTING GROCERIES 

[potterjackson22faves]

England: where in the bloody hell are we supposed to meet America??? I can't connect properly with this blasted signal!

Germany: I told you we should have bought a map of New York and do it the old fashion way!

China: says the youngest in the group! Anyways, why don't we ask for directions and get this over with?

Italy: veh~ I'll do that~ I'll talk to the beautiful American ladies over there~

France: no, no, no~ I, the country of love and beauty, will talk to them~

Spain: no! I wanna~ My passion and good looks will make it easier for me to talk to them~

Romano: yeah right, tomato bastard! Italy and I will obviously go and show them true Italian love- hey, where did walking-eyebrows go?

England: excuse me love, terribly sorry to bother you, but do you mind if I borrow a second of your time to ask for directions? I'm struggling to find this address on my phone and I just can't seem to find a decent signal around here.

Girls: *blushing and giggling*

Europeans: *grumbling* British accent...

Haikyuu!! crossover

[siorca]

Can we just stop for a moment and talk about this scene? And how much I love this analogy and how France uses the phrase, “used forever,” to describe himself.

France really doesn’t like being a nation.

((Episode source: Hetalia The Beautiful World “Episode 5”))

[jazztronic]

I really don’t think that’s the case. If anything, I think it shows France selflessness. It wouldn’t be the first time he has exhibited this trait. It’s not that France doesn’t like being a nation, but rather he’s perfectly aware of how dependent on humans nations are. Without humans, nations can’t exist. Nations depend on humans, and you know what? He’s fine with that. He acknowledges things don’t always go well (“there are times where [the ship] could suddenly run ashore and it’d be all over”) but as long as there are people who still have faith in him, who are there to “repair him” and try again, he doesn’t mind putting his life in their hands.

France really was the perfect character to use this analogy, and probably the only one who genuinely shows no resentment when he speaks of people “using him forever”. Let’s remember France took it upon himself to tell Italy the Holy Roman Empire was dead when nobody else wanted to tell him and would have been ok leaving Italy waiting forever, but France said Fuck that noise and went and was blunt for Italy’s sake. Because keeping him waiting would have been cruel. He risked Italy - one of the only nations who arguably considers him like family (he called him “big brother France” since they were children) taking out his pain and anger on France, who was not the only guilty one but was the only one who owned up to it.

And let’s not forget France’s canon reason for growing a beard: he wanted to “look more like a big brother, so people would rely on him”

France does not hate being a nation. France is just extremely selfless.

He’s the country of love, and will give up anything for the sake of those he loves.

[mcmac125-blog]

This….this is so perfect. I get so pissed when people say France is a rapist and Pedo. I’ve literally heard people say this stuff before. Sometimes I wonder if people even watch the same scene I did. Because he stated: “You can’t force ‘love’ on to people.” And that he would never do that. This scene also gives Him a bigger meaning. Hetalia is a comedy, but I think a lot of people forget it’s not all fun and games. Like take for instance Russia’s character songs, just about all his songs has a hint. A small line in each song that talks about his loneliness and want for a friend. If you bother to look deep enough Russia and France can be some of the deeper character in Hetalia. Yeah there’s a lot of other characters as well if you look hard enough. These are just examples, but this whole entire post basically proves my point.
