andra @purpureusgalaxy - Tumblr Blog

Hi there!

Glad to see someone found their way here, it's been a while. My name's andra! I'm a 20 year old uni student who rarely does anything productive. However, when I do something, it's very likely to be writing, art or cosplay.

You're free to follow me on here and on any other social media you find me on (just know that I'm the most active on twitter) and if you ever want to talk, send me a message! I'm always open to hear about whatever you have to say.

Here's where you can find me!

Dear traveller, I wish you a good journey!

The people who ran twitter behind the scenes did a perfectly good job. It functioned. There were no famous issues people had with it from a technical standpoint, literally only complaints about how it was moderated, which has nothing to do with most of the coders and techs.

Not only did Elon fire a ton of them just for the hell of it or for disagreeing with him, he's reportedly now given all employees an ultimatum to agree to "intense" 80 hour work weeks with cut perks (no more free lunches) and no higher wages which is positively unreal. Imagine a billionaire just buying your place of work and making it immediately worse without an actual reason for it. No "problems" he can point to that needed addressing this way.

It'll be astonishing if even one employee stays. That's completely fucking nuts?!

Okay I reblogged this before BUT the visual contrast between the first scene and the second one is fantastic. The first sets Peter’s vibrantly multicolored suit up against the black & white colors of the reactor; the second does the same thing, but switches the palettes. Now the background is in reds and blues and Miles’ suit is the black and white. And he still catches the eye in a screen full of moving parts. THIS MOVIE, GUYS.

It’s Miles standing out against the colors of the original Spider Man.

Tumblr deleted my long ass rant while I was in the middle of writing it so you’re spared and will only get a summed up version

Long story short; your abs are supposed to be covered with a healthy, protective layer of fat. The shape Jason Momoa is in during his movies is achieved by a diet designed to lower his body fat to unhealthy numbers, dehydrating him and enhancing his abs with make up. This is what ripped, muscular, healthy person looks like on their off time. If you think this is a dad bod, for the love of everything that is holy, shut up and absolutely never comment on a man’s body ever again. I mean hell, you can still see his damn v-line, what fucking dad bod has that?!

Don’t believe me? Google some bodybuilders who are off their contest diet. The men who literally make a living for having defined muscles. For 360 days a year, they do not look like the way you think they do. During a bodybuilding contest, these men’s body fat is under 7%, they’re dehydeated and covered in fake tan that helps the muscles show up. And it’s literally only for that day, because it’s extremely unhealthy. Same goes for actors who are known for being ripped - they’re at their worst when they’re filming. This exact same shit happened with Vin Diesel few years ago with people getting a paparazzi shot of his “beer belly” and I’m genuinely worried of the young men who grow up in this society thinking being muscular means having defined abs 24/7.

Jason Momoa looks ripped and healthy, yall are just blind with unrealistic standards.

“This is what actors (& models & bodybuilders) do. If you see them with razor cut abs, they have been on a low carb, water-reducing diet to get there. You cannot retain that and be healthy. When we shot WOLVES, Jason asked me, “Do I have to have abs n’ shit for this?” I said no.”

- David Hayter, director, Wolves

“The wood chopping scene in The Wolverine was all the footage they could get before Hugh Jackman passed out from dehydration. Dehydration and steroids are the big secret behind Hollywood muscle definition.”

- My name is Grant‏

“Yeah there was a huge piece a few years ago about the prevalence of doping in the aftermath of Dark Knight (roughly), it became an arms race of every male actor going on roids for definition. Compare Jackman in XMen 1 from 2000 to him in Logan, for example.”

I like how they call starvation and dehydration a “trick” :)))))))))

thiswaycomessomethingwicked

I KNOW. Fucking killed me. “There’s this neat trick where we encourage disordered eating and dehydration. That’s what bodies should look like!!! This is the Norm!!”

bogleech

Wait so that text wasn’t from a criticism of abusive practices?? It was just “here’s how we did this neat-O special effect!!!!!” ???!???

maid-of-timey-wimey

This is the male equivalent of “magazine cover models are all airbrushed and/or starving” and needs to be spread just as much.

i-rathernot-say

The beauty standards of the patriarchy are fucking trash. Jason still looks great. And I hope guys aren’t looking to meet this impossible standard.

brunhiddensmusings

always have in the back of your mind- all the men who look at his body and think ‘i could never look that good’ then hearing people lambast that unobtainable body as ‘letting himself go’ how do they now feel about themselves

jenniferrpovey

Unrealistic body expectations affect all genders.

wemblingfool

Like…is it any wonder why Jackman doesn’t want to do Wolverine anymore?

Throwback to that time Zuko thought he could take down an airbending master that had fans

angrykittybarbarian

And that time he thought he could take down a waterbender, while surrounded by snow and ice, at night, during a full moon.

“Here for a rematch?”

I swear, Zuko is like a dog with no concept of his actual size compared to others.

normalize creators replying to fanon shippers with “that’s great that you’re inspired to write your own version of things. keep doing that! but please respect our version of our story.”

normalize fans being reminded that boundaries between fandom and creators exist for a reason.

normalize fans recognizing their own creative potential without seeking canon validation

normalize the idea that fandom is a hobby, not an identity to threaten and fight and harass people over

normalize a healthy understanding of the boundaries between fiction and reality

normalize just chilling the fuck out lmao

shirasade

We used to say in Ye Olde Fandom Times (when pretty much the only chance we had to interact with creators/actors was at conventions), “The fourth wall is there for a reason.”

It was coined to stop people from shoving explicit fanart under the actors’ noses, but it absolutely still holds true in more general contexts.

GOD YES FOURTH WALL FOURTH WALL PLEASE

Writing commissions!

Hello! I don't know if people will see this or not but I'm opening writing commissions! I don't have a particular number of slots open but I do have a few things to specify:

1 ko-fi/300 words (3€) - 3 ko-fi/1k words (9€) - may vary depending on length/theme/form, payment through ko-fi or PayPal

Will not write NSFW (sex only)/real people ships/for fandoms I am not in (for that, please refer to the list of fandoms I am in in my Carrd)

Can be prose or poetry (adding that poems may vary in price depending on form/length)

I will need a specific prompt (or at least a bit more than "coffee AU" unless you want me to go wild)

Can be posted on Ao3, Tumblr or be for the commissioner's personal use only.

Examples can be found on my Ao3 or, for poems, you can ask me and I'll send some personally.

If you are interested, please send me a message either through here or Twitter. And even if you're not, I would be incredibly grateful if you could share this. It would help immensely, thank you so much!
