Zutara week 2026 prompt: Warmth

I'm too busy to do all the prompts but here's some love for one of the classic ships of my childhood <3

[saaraahka]

Not sure I'm cute enough to get away with being this mentally ill

[hollanderthoughts]

Every day I wake up and I try to figure out what I did wrong. You know, the big thing I did wrong that everyone knows about but me? which I have yet to figure out what it is, but hey, there’s always tomorrow!

KICK THE CAN!

Let’s play the biggest game of kick the can on the internet.

To kick the can, reblog it. I wanna see how long this can go on for.

[visibun]

the oldest reblogs for this post that i can find are from january 2nd of 2013. this can has been getting kicked around tumblr for almost 13½ years now

[drtanner]

And yet somehow this is my first time kicking it!

[rosenkranz-does-things]

finished my whiteboard doodle of Paige (b&w version under the cut)

[redstonedust]

kind of embarrasing when your life is actually going pretty well but you still have mental health problems. it's like when you drink water but still have a headache like what the hell. you're telling me this isn't because of the Situations i'm actually just like this. i want a refund.

Leopold Schmutzler (1864–1941) “Siren”

its so fucked that not only did they erase our languages and beat and kill our people for using them but they stole the words of important tribes and important people and used them for the military and for trees and for food and for summer camps. average native american name is seen by non ntvs as a joke or something to use or consume, not a human being

[shadeslayer]

i like that ppl r thinking abt town names and things thats very good to be aware of but just to be clear this is actually specifically about other things actually, the things everyone but those looking up their nation forget about

sequoyah was the man who created the tsalagi syllabary before it was ever a tree

if i try to look for apparel or crafts to show off my chickasaw pride, i get results for chickasaw plums which is just a specific species of plum before i get results about human beings

others have mentioned if they google their nations name they get boot companies before their nations website!

theres a tweet that still haunts me that was about a Quirky Quasi American Restaurant in europe or somewhere that was being funny by being cowboy themed and their steaks were named after native american nations. even outside the usa we are nothing but literal dead meat for others consumption

"blackhawk" "apache" - fuck theres a whole wikipedia page for the way weve had our names used for weapons used to colonize and kill us and others!

yes talk about town and location names but you need to look farther than that. it gets so much worse, i promise

[blockcheddar]

The way my people have been genocided, ethnically cleansed, beaten into submission and then appropriated by our oppressors and colonizers is humiliating and dehumanizing.

[kairos-polaris]

martin is like the extreme opposite of momsterfucker

[grimbeak]

9th doctor era was simply The Best One im sorry. shaved head leather jacket doc martins telling people to kill themselves. sweetie pea retail worker universal union organizer who became god for him. their stray cat horny little boytoy bottom who becomes an unkillable eldritch horror because of their love. did i mention the first guys a dilf and the other two have daddy issues.

[willgrahamscock]

how it feels to be surrounded by perverted mutants

STOP REBLOGGING I MEAN MUTUALS

[brassyasssassafrasaphone]

no, this is why she would understand, if she truely loves dr pepper so much

[moffie-moff]

She did understand,,,, truly Dr Pepper will bring them all together

[freakoutgirl]

they found a way to put sex in a can and they called it Dr Pepper

[miiilowo]

dying in a horror movie bc the sound of me opening my dr pepper echoes across the field loud as fuck and i am located instantly

[violentoffender]

man knows what he’s about

[what-even-is-thiss]

I think that now I’m one of those evil people in the movies that thinks an AI can’t be a person. I’m the guy saying that your robot girlfriend isn’t real. They’re gonna kill me during the matrix wars.

[brunetterightsactivist]

even masturbation is dull now like omg whatever i GUESS i’ll do this…there’s not much else to do

[cock-holliday]

Queer people getting to be open and talk about their desire for sex is important in a world where queer people are prevented from being with the people they want

Asexual people getting to be open and talk about not wanting sex and never having sex is important in a world that tries constantly to sell sex to us as an inevitable activity

Disabled people fighting for the right to marry is important in a world that holds life-saving benefits hostage and prevents one from marrying

Women fighting for the right to divorce or to never marry is important in a world that pushes women into a subordinate role of "wife"

Ex-Religious people fighting for the right to leave a religion or not be forced to convert to a religion is important in a world that subjects everyone to predatory missionary work

Religious people fighting for the right to practice their religion and do so openly is important in a world that prioritized religions over one another--often Christianity but not always

And you could substitute many more things into this. Young people fight to not be infantilized by authority, but they also in some areas fight to not be adultified. Some people have to fight so hard for a variety of reasons to be able to grow out their hair. Some people have to fight so hard to be able to cut it. Some fight to be allowed to wear coverings, some fight to be allowed to wear nothing. Some fight to be left alone, some fight to get the care they need. Some fight to be able to leave, some fight to be able to stay.

None of these comparable fights are opposed to one another, because the fight isn't about the specific thing, it is all about the same thing: autonomy.

Someone's fight to wear a dress is someone's fight to wear pants is someone's fight to live alone is someone's fight to live with someone is someone's fight to be left alone by medical institutions is someone's fight to be able to medically alter their body.

It is the same fight. People who want the opposite for themselves that I want for me are my siblings. We want the exact same thing: the choice to be who we want, how we want, on our terms.

And I WANT that for everyone. I want people to be allowed to choose what I wouldn't, do what I wouldn't, because then I would be free to do what I want and need.
