i wish people would normalize being lost in life and just not knowing anything. not knowing what you’re passionate about, where you want to live, what you want to do, where you want to go— or what lies next. as a society, we normalized going to school, finding a passion, getting a job, finding a partner, getting married, having kids, working hard to earn an honest living. but what about when shit just doesn’t go that way? you really just don’t know. and what’s even worse is, you don’t know why you don’t know or even where to start so you feel alone. you feel as though you’re a disappointment to your family. as if you failed in life. but you haven’t, it’s okay, to not know. to be lost. you have your whole life ahead of you to figure things out. patience is a virtue. there is no time limit on life. you don’t need to rush. don’t allow society to fixate the narrative of having all your shit together at a certain age. it isn’t realistic for most. being lost is so much more normal than we think. and i just wish people would be more transparent about it.

CROW NOVEMBER CROWVEMBER I drew these with black colored pencil on bristol paper, I love crows

[nambroth]

CROW NOVEMBER CROWVEMBER I love crows so much. The colored pencil hurts my hand to use for very long so I tried some little brush-pen paintings. Pigmented ink brush pen on watercolor paper. Most are available here.

how are we going to teach the gen z kids that fiction includes bad people and bad things and makes you uncomfortable on purpose sometimes bc maybe the author is trying to tell you something

“x ship is normalizing incest-”

Buddy

If game of thrones hasn’t normalized incest by now (pulling over 10 million views in the 7th season alone) then a small fandom ship most certainly won’t

[lentilswitheverything]

Spn ran for fifteen fucking seasons, it ran for over a decade, and wincest was consistently one of the two or three most popular ships. And it had no measurable impact on real world abuse. Maybe you think fandom is uniquely dangerous (why, idk, but this tumblr after all) but a pretty good rule of fandom is that if Spn couldn’t do it, fucking no one else is going to manage it.

Drawing from October of last year. - A younger Vygo, in his early 20s, attempts to capture an eagle fledgling straight from its nest. His twin sister, Indrys, is atop the cliff, holding the ropes that keep him safe, as well as giving him support, just as he will do for her when it’s her turn to catch her own raptor. To capture his or her first eaglet is rite of passage into becoming a hunter for Turvao Varanar tribes. Wild eaglets are captured from their nests, and taken into training. Females are preferred, as they are bigger and stronger than males. A hunter will keep his or her eagle for close to a decade, and after that, the animal is released back into the wild so it can continue its natural lifecycle. It’s not easy to catch an eaglet. Adults are very protective of their young, and nest in tall, steep cliffs. It’s a dangerous task to reach them, and one wrong step can result in a lethal fall, or in the best-case scenario, a life-crippling injury.

IT’S TIME FOR THE HALLOWEEN BATS

[shipping-isnt-morality]

Good morning! I’m salty.

I think we, as a general community, need to start taking this little moment more seriously.

This, right here? This is asking for consent. It’s a legal necessity, yes, but it is also you, the reader, actively consenting to see adult content; and in doing so, saying that you are of an age to see it, and that you’re emotionally capable of handling it.

You find the content you find behind this warning disgusting, horrifying, upsetting, triggering? You consented. You said you could handle it, and you were able to back out at any time. You take responsibility for yourself when you click through this, and so long as the creator used warnings and tags correctly, you bear full responsibility for its impact on you.

“Children are going to lie about their age” is probably true, but that’s the problem of them and the people who are responsible for them, not the people that they lie to.

If you’re not prepared to see adult content, created by and for adults, don’t fucking click through this. And if you do, for all that’s holy, don’t blame anyone else for it.

[auressea]

The content you do NOT LIKE, is EVERYWHERE around you. It’s in Books, movies, television and the news. A03 is the MOST controlled space for reading content you could possibly find. It does not need MORE controls. 

Stop escalating your desire for censorship into a ‘safety’ concern. Since we’ve started to drown out the ‘purity-wank’ advocating for censorship because ‘think-of-the-children’ the latest push wave of censorship advocacy is against racism. - It will NOT work.    I’m here to tell you- as a minority/oppressed person.. I run into works that squick me out or cause me offence ALL. THE. TIME. and I leave them. I close them. I don’t expose myself to misogyny and ablism. I hate it- and I DO.NOT.ENGAGE with it. 

ANY and ALL attempts at censorship will always result in the most vulnerable group loosing ground. every time. It’s a slippery slope. Thin edge of the wedge. 

It’s happened before. all through history and all around the world. Censorship does NOT achieve ‘safety’ or ‘equity’.
