The Insistance of Memory

There's a vampire fleeing his past. There is a demon finding power in pleasure. There is a bartender trying to make it as best he can. A good doctor counting down his final years too young. (Indie multi-muse blog) READ MY RULES BEFORE SENDING ASKS

This thing has been hanging over the door to the kitchen of my family’s apartment since 2012

[symphoniclolita]

ok listen I barely know anything about homestuck but someone taped a cutout just like this of this guy to the side of our display at the very first con me and my sister sold at (think it was 2012) and that year we almost completely sold out our table, and every time since we HAVE to have the Baby Dave(?) taped up somewhere or else we do poorly, like the one year I forgot him I made $30 all weekend and idk what the significance of the character is and his presence vexes me but he is an important good fortune charm

Gods and Deities Sentence Starters

“And what are you the god of? Bad tastes?”

“You’re not my god.” 

“It’s been a long time since anyone invoked my name.” 

“I’m a god, not a genie. I do not ‘grant’ wishes.” 

“You haven’t an inkling of an idea of what you’ve just done, haven’t you?” 

“And what is a mere mortal to a god?” 

“A god is only as powerful as their believers.”

“When’s the last time anyone prayed to you?” 

“Don’t be stupid. Gods don’t exist.” 

“Your petty discourse is highly amusing.” 

“What a cute little shrine! I wonder who’s it to?” 

“Your title may have “Evil” in it but you just look sad.” 

“No one’s ever built me a shrine before…” 

“You mustn’t be a very good god then.” 

“Your mortal woes are beneath me.” 

“You dare speak to me in such a tone?” 

“Be careful of what you wish for.” 

“You don’t know the meaning of “God-King”. 

“You know not of who you speak to, do you?” 

“You don’t look very… godly… to me.” 

“’A god’? Don’t be so full of yourself.” 

“What are you the god of?” 

“Does it get lonely?” 

“Oh god, please don’t hurt me!” 

“Your god has no sway here.”

“And what brings you into my domain, little one?” 

“I think I just woke something up. Something powerful.” 

“Um… hello? Any… anyone listening?” 

“This is stupid. Of course no god will listen to me.” 

“You probably look nothing like your statue.” 

“I hope this shrine is worthy enough for you…” 

“I’m here as a sacrifice, as promised by my people.”

I think if Sherlock Holmes didn’t live with a doctor he would have died absurdly young

Watson: You are pale and sallow. Your fingers are always cold. I know what you are.

Holmes: say it

Watson: severely anemic, please take these

The way Birds of Prey’s cinematography went OFF

[lierdumoa]

Looking at this again I’m noticing how it this movie wasn’t afraid of putting things center frame. A lot of people come out of film school thinking the 2/3/golden ratio rule is the only way to compose shots and Marvel movies are especially bad about using that composition technique to draw the audience’s eye away from women’s faces to their boobs. Mad Max Fury Road is famous for the director’s insistence on using center framing to emphasize action

[canadianwheatpirates]

Another aspect this film borrows from Fury Road is that in the funhouse fight, something shot off the side of the screen will come back on travelling the same direction (so an arrow shot off the right side comes back on the left, still travelling right). George Miller was a real hardass about it in Fury Road, because it makes the action scenes SO much easier to follow.

Male Scifi and Fantasy writers: Look at this !Strong! female character! She can fight and solve puzzles, and ends up with the sidekick not the hero! Isn’t she a great character?

Everyone: No, she’s one-dimensional and still only exists to please the hero’s ego

Male scifi and fantasy writers: You’re never happy! This is how characters are written! Besides, it’s much harder for us to write women because we are men!

Terry Pratchett: *creates a female character who is literally the embodyment of a dog, sets her up to be the love interest of Protagonist Hero Man.* *writes her as clever, emotionally tortured, lonely and powerful* *uses her to explore difficulties of bisexuality and masculine dominated workforces*

Terry Pratchett: *Creates a pair of old witches, one of whom is a virgin and the other who has slept with lots of men.* *makes them best friends, never dismisses one lifestyle of the other, explains lifestyle choices based on characters history and personality, uses this to develop each character as the books progress*

Terry Pratchett: *Writes Sybil Rankin* *makes the powerful rich lady heavy set but beautiful, never plays her by her looks, develops her as she ages, acknowledges the way society views such people and then spits on their attitudes* *does it again with Agnes*

Terry Pratchett: *Writes a book about an entire army secretly being women, creates complex female relationships, introduces same sex relationships completely naturally*

Terry Pratchett: *takes old joke about female dwarves and uses it to explore gender identity without making it seem forced or unnatural, carefully discusses some of the issues and complextities whilst still making funny and witty observasions and maintaining genuine fantasy tropes*

Terry Pratchett: *DOES THIS ALL OVER AND OVER AGAIN, DEVELOPING CHARACTERS AS HIS VEIW OF THE WORLD DEVELOPS AND CAREFULLY APOLOGIZES FOR EARLY MISTAKES*

Massive L to our ancestors for not domesticating the Bear for the ultimate friend

[fortooate]

i sympathize with the post on the one hand but also ‘man we shoulda domesticated bears’ has the same energy as a divorced dad being like ‘i should have married that girl from high school’ when the girl in question was never ever interested and also turned out to be a lesbian frontwoman for an obscure but respected ska revival band

[ancestorswatching]

In many cultures, ethnic groups, and nations around the world, hair is considered a source of power and prestige. African people brought these traditions and beliefs to the Americas and passed them down through the generations.

In my mother’s family (Black Americans from rural South Carolina) the women don’t cut their hair off unless absolutely necessary (i.e damage or routine trimming). Long hair is considered a symbol of beauty and power; my mother often told me that our hair holds our strength and power. Though my mother’s family has been American born for several generations, it is fascinating to see the beliefs and traditions of our African ancestors passed down. We are emotionally and spiritually attached to our hair, cutting it only with the knowledge that we are starting completely clean and removing stagnant energy.

Couple this with the forced removal and covering of our hair from the times of slavery and onward, and you can see why so many Black women and men alike take such pride and care in their natural hair and love to adorn our heads with wigs, weaves, braids, twists, accessories, and sharp designs.

Hair is not just hair in African diaspora cultures, and this is why the appropriation and stigma surrounding our hair is so harmful.

Friendly reminder that bisexual, pansexual, asexual, and aromantic people do not experience “straight passing privilege”.

Identity erasure is not a privilege, it is oppression.

[brunhiddensmusings]

‘you are treated as ‘normal’ provided you never speak about or acnowlege your identity’

[doomhamster]

neither, importantly, do “passing” trans people. or anyone else.

[onaveridiansea]

“You are treated as ‘normal’ provided you never speak about or acknowlege your identity.”

[elfwreck]

“Passing” means a choice between ”lie to everyone and get accused of betrayal when your identity comes out” (whether you choose to reveal it or not) or “keep telling people, over and over, who you are, even in settings where it shouldn’t matter, even if you’d rather those details be private, and be accused of making everything into identity politics.” 

There’s no privilege involved in either of those choices. 

“I am able to hide from most of those who would otherwise attack me” is not the same as “I don’t face oppression for my identity.”
