you should get a second evening for reading fan fiction. And you should get an extra day in the week to do arts and crafts.

now say it with me: authors/artists dont owe you moral purity. an author/artist job is not to hold you by the hand & tell you exactly what is Good™ & what is Bad™. you should be able to think for yourself

[orpheuslament]

"yes but depictions of (morally questionable thing) are only okay if its punished in the story" thats the hays code. you just reinvented the hays code

brought nothing to the gun fight. whatever man

and you know what's really fucked up about a site like rco getting taken down? there are a ton of comics that you genuinely can't acquire elsewhere. during the height of my involvement in the dc fandom i did pay for so-called 'unlimited' access to the dc catalogue and there were huge swathes of comics- comics that weren't even that old or obscure! fucking batman annuals!!- that just did not appear in dc's database. a couple of these titles were available for purchase on amazon but the vast majority were not for sale through any official channel. so unless you were willing to shell out absurd amounts of money on the secondhand collector's market- which wouldn't benefit the copyright holder at all anyway!- rco or a similar site was your only option. it's just ridiculous.

Sometimes "estrogen would save her" means literally just going on HRT would resolve her issues, but other times it means "a radical act of self-determination would reframe so much of how she views herself and the world around her, she'd come out of it a changed, better person. But also she's a girl and needs to realize that."

ITS GREAT LAKES AWARENESS DAY!!!!!

On this excellent day, be aware that this is the largest group of freshwater lakes in the world, covering over 95,000 square miles and reaching depths of over a thousand feet. They are beautiful freshwater seas.

Also when you die in these lakes, the very cold, oxygen-poor conditions at the bottom preserves you perfectly for all eternity. You will not rot and nothing will eat you. You will exist for as long as the Great Lakes do. Many shipwrecks still have the crew on board. Be Aware.

that last paragraph only applies to Lake Superior, the northernmost Great Lake! to be fair though, Superior is bigger than all of the other Great Lakes combined.

and that's not to say that the other Great Lakes aren't equally dangerous! each of these things earned the 'Great' descriptor for a reason, and the only reason they aren't all classified as inland seas is because they're not salty.

Lake Michigan in particular is really good at creating waterlogged corpses and hiding them in weird places, and every single Great Lake is full of shipwrecks and ghost stories.

and you know what? 10/10 I would let these things eat me anyways.

be aware!

fun optional addition, LAKE SUPERIOR VS THE EAST COAST

you could drown an entire small country in this thing

Great Lakes Awareness Day is May 5th this year!

My scheduled reblog worked perfectly!

Now I just have to decide how I will observe Great Lakes Awareness Day.

when i was a kid i decided that killing people was bad therefore war was bad therefore the military was evil. and adults would tell me it's more nuanced than that and i would understand when i grew up. well i'm a grown up now and idk i still think that killing people is bad and war is bad and the military is evil
