Character concept: A Manly Man Alpha Male dude who is frankly just all talk and posturing, but he also has a cat he adores and is very insistent on keeping up the rhetoric concerning this. Going like

"A man's gotta be a provider in the household. Take care of his own. So whatever my sweet baby girl wants, she's gonna get."

Sweet Baby Girl: Meow. :3

"Damn right baby."

i went to navy pier as a child and clowns took my father away and built a table out of him with three other dads and i always thought this was some unpleasant and vivid dream and i mentioned it to my mom one day a couple years ago and she was like Yaa when we went to chicago they made him do chair tricks with other men

they did this to him

[strictlyquadrilateral]

at some point during high school i drew a centaur girl with large breasts because i wanted to draw a character that looked like me, and my biofamily got real upset about it. "why are they so large" because mine are that large. "wouldn't that make it hard for her to run" interesting that you think that but keep trying to make me run. "don't draw things like this, it's morally bad" ok i and my apparently inherently pornographic body will just be over here trying to avoid being looked at

[strictlyquadrilateral]

this is not to say porn is bad, tbc. i just wasn't a fan as a teenager of being treated like it was impossible to look at bodies like mine non-sexually. frankly i'm not a fan of it now either lmao. i keep kind of thinking about how so many female protagonists are canonically flat or small-chested girls/women who textually wish they had larger breasts, but i can't remember the last time i encountered a protagonist with large breasts where that fact wasn't meant to be sexual. what is up with that dynamic and how do i destroy it

[strictlyquadrilateral]

it's like... in order to be accepted as a woman, the character has to desire the idealized form of The Perfect Woman (or if she's a #feminist, reject and detest that same idealized form, but the focus on it is often still there). but in order to be a non-pornographic protagonist, she can't attain it. the moment you have a large enough chest you don't really get to be a normal character anymore, you have to go to sex world. idk. probably someone better read than me has written some sort of papers on this. idk what search terms to use though

[seraphym100]

Reblogging because I need someone to help this incredibly intelligent and determined individual hunt down whatever is this dynamic because she wants to destroy it and I can’t think of anything I want to get behind more atm.

Oh, this is so cool. Yes. If you have the money, why on earth not? Imagine, you get the live performance AND (best) you get to support an artist!

Absolute banger policy. The SNP want to introduce a sort of ‘baby box’ equivalent for children starting school.

The school bag would be filled with essential school items - stationery, books, a water bottle and information for parents to help with literacy and numeracy skills at home.

Fucking send it, love this idea.

so back when my little brother was in high school, my mom went as a chaperone for their senior year field trip to an amusement park. which, you know, brave move to volunteer to supervise a bunch of high school seniors let loose in a wonderland of rollercoasters and sugar

my brother and his friends in this field trip group were truly great kids. but they were not above run of the mill teenage boy shenanigans. it’s the end of senior year, you and all your buddies are at the amusement park, you’re naturally going to want to act like a complete moron

there was one kid in the group who was especially prone to goofing around. committed to the bit, some may say. my mom knew that if nonsense was going to break out, he’d likely be at the center of it

so she goes up to this kid at the very start of the trip and says “hey, i’m kinda worried about this chaperoning thing. this might be a lot to ask, but can you help me keep an eye on everyone? you wouldn’t have to do anything big, just be an extra set of eyes for me.”

friends, this kid proceeded to run their field trip group like the fucking us marines. everyone is at the meet up spots at the designated time. everyone waits in line for the rides like a bunch of boy scouts. the second the horseplay gets too out of hand, this kid is getting it back under control

it’s incredible how differently people act based on the expectations you set. instead of going to this kid and saying “hey, i know you’re trouble, so i’ve got my eye on you,” my mom went “hey, i know you have influence in your peer group, so i think you can help me.”

treat someone like a problem, they’ll act like a problem. but give people a chance to help, make them feel important, and they usually rise far above the occasion. it was a stroke of genius that i’m honestly still in awe of

I got literal chills. This is the first Pope I have ever felt even the most grudging bit of respect towards.

this is genuinely breathtaking lmao

Yeah look the weird smut comments are totally out of pocket but I really can't get over "im more into dr.seus or self help books lol"

#do you think he's actually read dr. seuss or did he just hear "doctor" before an author's name and decide it sounded smart? (Via @shellys-apprentice)

What kills me is he typed that shit on a magic rectangle that ALSO could have told him exactly who Nancy Drew is. How you gonna say you don’t know shit when it’s literally under your emoji-typing fingertips??

Oh god 😑

[0v9]

I am, like, a long running proponent of the "eat something and you'll feel better" crowd and am often one of the first people to suggest "maybe it's time for a snack before I get whipped into a frenzy" but I really do resent how instantaneous it is. like it'll feel like I'm having my worst day in months and then I'll start eating and literally before I even finish I'm like oh yeah the world is beautiful

Capitalism is a hostage situation, and we are all the hostages.

[seraphym100]

That’s because capitalism is violence.

In order to put some sort of a limit to my uncontrollable habit of inhaling hummus at financially unfortunate speeds, I decided I'm going to get bell peppers and use the hummus as vegetable dip. So for every jar of hummus I eat, I'm going to have to chop a vegetable, and will also have to eat a vegetable. And it works, which I find supremely annoying. And just as I'm chopping my second pepper of the day, a mockingly sing-song voice in my head goes

Oooh, look at me, I am mr. Fancypants, my hummus spoon is a ~vegetable~

And first and foreremost I have to ask myself why the hell is my internal narration voiced by Homer Simpson.

[andrewrnease]

I'm... I'm not going to lie, here: I'm a little disturbed by the implication that you weren't dipping anything in the hummus and were just eating whole containers with a spoon like pudding cups.

[addi-the-unhinged]

I agree, as much as I love hummus the fact that "hummus spoon" is being treated as a perfectly normal thing here disturbs me deeply, who are these behemoths eating straight hummus?

I would train to be like them but I fear because I love hummus so much I'd unironically start going through a container a day which would not be good for my finances or my health

[homunculus-argument]

I think the Homer Simpson voice appeared out of the fact that I'm vaguely aware that normal people think it's weird to eat hummus with a spoon, while Homer specifically would think it's weird to use a vegetable as a hummus spoon.

[seraphym100]

You can make hummus at home though… it’s easy… the ingredients are super cheap…

[luckofthegrayajah]

Not a popular opinion on tumblr I know but I would argue character death is good for stories, actually, and often a death with long narrative consequences is much better use of a character than having them linger with no more important plot beats to hit.

Character death isn’t writers being mean to viewers or something characters don’t “deserve,” it’s an important part of narrative and plotting to give stories stakes and emotional beats. The work making you have an emotion is in fact the point, not something to avoid.
