I GOT A FUCKING RAISE THE POTATO WORKED WTF
This potato works. Every. Fucking. Time.
Then bring me luck
the day after I posted this last time I was notified that I was selected for a really cool mentorship gig and got an unrelated glowing review at work
At this point I can't fucking afford to ignore this
Please potato make my day better 🙏🙏🙏🙏
Doin this again, let's hope this potato ballin'
i posted this months ago on my abandoned art accs so ig im reposting it here for fun 💔
steve rogers was told by his old love interest that she lived her life, now it’s time for him to live his and when natasha asked him what he’s looking for in a partner, he says someone with shared life experience. we then promptly meet the winter soldier/bucky barnes who breaks thru of 70 years of memory loss and programming bc of his love for steve (the one face hydra could never take from him). we also find out that their catchphrase is ‘til the end of the line aka til death do we part.
but no no you’re right we all definitely read way to far into it
that pose is everything
Getting those Stucky drafts ready as we speak.
the thing about captain america the first avenger is that it tries really hard to sell the idea of Bucky being a macho womanizer. Too bad they cast Sebastian Stan, the master of sad longing gazes you'd normally only ever see in eastern european gay porn.
i know its been a while since it came out but im preeetty sure this is exactly how CATWS ended
(tip jar! // comms status)
a very self indulgent crossover of my favorite red-coded boys
I feel sorry for the old man, but it was stealing. There is no apparently about it. Water is not free, it’s not a right to have it, and people pay must pay for it. If a government gives a thing to you like utilities, its still not free because they take it from somewhere else, like in taxes.
my friend visiting my house: hey i’m thirsty can i get a glass of water
me:
Nestle isn’t gonna fuck you
Also water IS a human right, it’s classified as one by the UN the only country that really disagrees with this is the United States
I know this post is a few years old, but I stumbled on it and I just want to also point out… Even aside from water being free or not, even aside from water being a human right,
the old man wasn’t stealing.
He was using a neighbor’s water, that the neighbor pays for, with the neighbor’s permission. Nothing was stolen. The old man just wasn’t the one paying. If someone comes to my house and I let them charge their phone while they’re there, are they STEALING electricity because I’m the one who pays the electric bill? If I take someone out to dinner, are they STEALING their meal if I pay for both of us? Get fucked.
I hope that person has become a better kinder person since 2021, but I"m not holding my breath.
You don’t have to deepthroat the boot, Tumblr user debkorvelus.
If a fantasy world has an ancient tree of wisdom, that means it must also have young trees that are dumb as shit. Just giving terrible advice like, "the evil wizard is kinda hot"'
i do actually get tired sometimes of having the same basic decency discussions around native culture. stop using the term spirit animal. don't use the skin word for shapeshifters. i saw a plushie kickstarter with the W word for a small skull deer plushie and it had already met it's goal. people just blithely repeating terms with no connection to their culture. actively profiting off of it.
Ok, so I'm down but a sentence here gave me confused and I'm hoping you have spoons to help me clarify my brain.
"don't use the skin word for shapeshifters"
I know that the We---- word is a closed cultural word, and I'm careful to not say it because I don't want to be an asshole
Is 'skin wa-----' offensive as well?
yes! though "offensive" is a bit reductive; it's not a swear or a slur, it's just a concept that the navajo would prefer non-navajo not to talk about, both because of their belief about how using it's name invokes/summons the being in some way and because of the ongoing appropriation and erasure of native culture.
i came across a dog insta account w the description "is it a dog? is it a [redacted]?". finger on the block button i see the account is new and small and decided to reach out to the owner about language use. i sent a message in my friendliest tone informing them of the word's taboo and expecting to get blocked in return.
friends. they messaged back a thank you and they changed the word to "cryptid". instant follow.
so shoutout to this dog and their humans.
finally: some commenters have been pointing out that this reaction might be interpreted as mysticizing indigenous beliefs. "dont say the wrong word or the spirit will Get You" is the plot of many D horror movies. my intended sentiment is this: whether or not you think these beings exist, using that language as a non-native is disrespectful and appropriative and should not be done.
do not taste plants if you don't know what they are
do not identify a fruit as edible just because it tastes sweet
hope you didn't eat any fucking seeds, bro
And today, we have this winner:
I saw the photo in my feed and went ohh, dude, no, we do not handle yellow rocks with our bare hands until we know for sure what they are. And I know that orange...
In comments, they continue:
and that's where I started cussing at the computer monitor. But someone else had got there first:
So just as a reminder, folks. If you don't know what it is, don't put it in your fucking mouth!
YOU GODDAMN STUPID MOTHERFUCKER
the human brain is so cool, if you're tired and stressed enough, your brain will go, "don't worry, I got you" and shadows will start moving
and what's the genital situation on the shadows
oh this is my post
I think a lot of transmisogyny stems from this idea that people are really scared to see a dick. The reason bathrooms and locker rooms and hot springs keep being flash points is because these are all places where if a trans woman is using them, it's possible you might see her dick. A lot of transmisogynistic humor revolves around being traumatized because the subject saw a woman with a penis. And look, to a certain extent I sympathize. I'm not a fan of dick; I dont want this thing either. But if you want to be an ally to trans women, I think a big important step you can take personally is to examine your own reaction to the scenarios I described above, and recognize that a dick is just a body part a girl has sometimes. Seeing it as inherently sexual and/or traumatizing is a major wedge conservatives use to justify their rhetoric
Even more radical stance: as a society we need to normalize nonsexual nudity. Bathrooms/locker rooms are not made safer by segregation, they're made safer by privacy barriers, sturdy locking doors, etc. (segregation has never stopped malicious actors )
I was raised thinking nudity was not inherently sexual. I would see a penis sometimes at home as my dad was crossing the hallway from the bathroom to his room after a shower. It did not scar me for life or traumatise me. I didn't really think about it at all. Everyone did that at home, you just walked naked to and from the bathroom if you were showering. My dad slept naked, which was how I learned that was a thing you could do. I started doing it in my teens.
I think Americans need to see people naked more often. We need more naked art that doesn't cover up the genitals and isn't meant to be sexual. If you watch British or Australian or European stuff, there's a lot of nonsexual nudity. There's even comedic nudity, because of how non-sexual nudity can be there! Jokes can be a lot more earthy than America, which has what I like to call a 13-year-old furtiveness about it.
I've been watching documentaries about nudity in film lately actually, so here's some of the ones I've been watching:
A history of film nudity, from the silent era to now, as ratings boards, politics, and cultural norms have shaped how much celluloid skin we
This is slightly left of just nudity, but also helps understand a lot of American weirdness around it:
This deep dive into American exploitation films unearths the shameless and occasionally shocking origins of the popular entertainment genre.
And then here's one that is about Australian film and really showcases how different the attitudes about nudity are in other countries:
Discover how renegade Australian filmmakers in the '70s blindsided audiences with a raw, uncensored explosion of sex, violence, and mayhem.
The Hays Code did a lot of damage to American art and culture and even our attitudes. It still influences how people think about art today. So do obscenity laws. "this stirs prurient interests" is the worst exception to the first amendment and should be struck down.
When reading fanfic keep in mind that for professional literature:
Short story: under 7,500
Novelette: between 7,500 and 17,500
Novella: between 17,500 and 40,000
Novel: over 40,000
Fics over 40k are literally a novel written and shared for free. If you have written a 40k+ fic, you have literally written a novel.
“Clark.”
“Yeah—” wait, something wasn't right. Clark could feel it in his bones. There was a disturbance in the Force. For a moment his brain went blank, and then the realization hit him like a brick. He should've known. Your mind was brilliant. It was only a matter of time before you figured out his identity. He hadn't prepared for this. What was he supposed to do, act stupid?
“Shit.”
You gasped, eyes widening in surprise at his crude language. It wasn't every day that Clark swore. “When did you figure it out?”
“There's only one person in this world who would unironically say 'good gosh’ after being slammed into a building.”
Oh, yeah. He'd forgotten about that video. He still needed to get Mr. Terrific to erase that from the internet for the sake of his identity, of course.
“You weren't supposed to find out like this.” Clark, no, Superman almost wanted to whine, but he settled for a frustrated groan that left you grinning like an idiot. He was hunched over in the middle of your living room, panicking like a high school boy who’d just been outed by his crush; he was mortified.
“Oh? And how was I supposed to find out?” You raised an eyebrow.
“I don't know! Just anything but this!”
He took a deep breath, balling his hands up and pressing them to his eyes as he tried to make sense of what had happened. It wasn't as if he didn't trust you; it was the opposite. He cared for you in ways so deep that it scared him. The thought of you getting hurt because of him drove him mad during sleepless nights; he couldn't lose you.
He ran his hands down his face, both arms eventually falling back to his sides. He needed to calm down. Everything was fine. You were safe in your apartment with him.
“Clark?” Your voice interrupted his silent panic, effectively snapping him out of his reverie. He blinked. When did you get in front of him?
“Yeah?”
“Are you okay?”
He tried to put on a brave face; he really did. He told himself it was for you, but really it was for him. It backfired immediately, and he was left staring down at you with an expression that could only be a mix of panic and total adoration. You were staring up at him with those eyes, so bright and hopeful he could've sworn there was a whole galaxy hiding behind them.
“Yeah,” he sighed. “I’m okay.”
At last, his shoulders finally slumped, and the tension melted away. He offered you a soft smile.
“I think I’ll always be okay when I'm with you.”
