my biggest word of advice to anyone scared to post their work/ocs/involve themselves in creative spaces online is to earnestly get interested in other people. be kind to others, like/reblog their work, tell them what you like about their work, get to know them as people.

this isn’t to “weasel” your way into anything or having ulterior motives or whatever. if you become friends with someone then that’s great! but there’s always something very personal about posting any kind of creative work. we’re all trying our best to connect with each other and the best way to get comfortable is to get to know others and show up as yourself. 🫶🏾

Still thinking about the biggest evil in Merlin was misogyny/toxic masculinity and how it damaged literally everyone because if you lie and hate and hide away from the gentleness of kindness and love you will always become the worst version of yourself and when you isolate yourself because youre scared you risk also becoming the worst part of yourself and

#and this is why Gwen is such an interesting contrast#bc she always approaches situations with such utter kindness#and it starts to rub off on others#like Arthur#showing that you don’t have to lose your kindness to be powerful#but also season 5 does everyone dirty too so of course they have to ruin that just a bit#it doesn’t matter tho bc she is fighting the patriarchy by being gentle and kind and I love her for it!!!

I love this post because the replies are like "for anyone who doesn't know what nestle did, they benefited from [insert human rights violation here]" but nestle has done SO many fucked up things you get a different topic in every comment

[breakingboob]

Nestle has:

Drained water from places suffering from drought for absolute pennies.

Made African mothers dependent on their milk formula, which they gave for free, until their milk dried up. Then they required them to purchase it, mothers could not afford it, mixed in too little to fulfill nutrient needs, and mixed it with polluted water. Children died.

Used slavery to produce their cocoa.

Pushed for water to be considered a “want” not a “need” and is at the forefront of arguments that water is not a human right.

Poisoned Chinese infants with melamine in their milk formula.

Demanded Ethiopia pay a debt owed to Nestle, during a FAMINE.

Price-fixed food items.

Contributed to deforestation for their cocoa farming.

The worst thing is, Nestle owns TONS of other brands, making it difficult to avoid for certain products.

[theeretblr]

Nestlé is LITERALLY the largest food company in the world and have one of the worst track records. Pls avoid their products if you can

They looooove draining springs and then hopping onto the next one.

They are diabolical.

[todaysbat]

They have an entire page on Wikipedia just for the problems they've caused.

It seems like they know people are trying to boycott them and are trying to avoid advertising a brand is theirs as much as they legally can get away with on the packaging.

imo the way you feel about groups it's fully socially acceptable to hate (like children or polyamorous people, among others) is the canary in the coal mine for underlying bigoted beliefs. if you're only supportive of marginalized groups when it's cool to do so, probably you don't actually care about marginalized groups, you care about other people thinking you care

the funniest moment in dungeon meshi is when marcille is having her nightmare and brings up her dead bird while also talking about her dead dad, saying “papa and pipi” and laios automatically assumes pipi is marcilles third nonbinary parent on top of her mom and dad

in the age of repression and purity culture, getting more perverted is the only morally correct course of action

[brawlite]

it's always interesting to encounter people in fandom who don't seem to understand that interesting characters are not always 100% perfect/make bad decisions/aren't morally pure/etc. look. this isn't my little pony. i don't want a moral lesson, i want an interesting, complex, flawed character.

i like my adult media to have complex, adult characters "that character is irredeemable now because [insert moral failing here]" have you ever made a bad decision? have you ever hurt anyone? have you ever made a mistake? are YOU irredeemable? are YOU not worthy of atonement? what about love?

You know how Kilgarrah describes Arthur and Merlin as two sides of the same coin and describes Morgana and Merlin as "a shadow to your light"? It should've been switched.

Merlin is quite literally a shadow to Arthur's light, the behind the scenes of all of his deeds, the hidden part of Arthur's glory. The suffering of magical community and elevation of peasants, a failed messiah and a prosperous king, the lies and honesty. Light and shadow are opposites that sre interconnected. The shadow doesn't come from the light itself, it's cast from the things that the light shines on. There is no need for the shadow to grow bigger as light shines brighter, the size of the shadow depends on where the light is relatively to the object that casts the shadow. There is no need for magic to suffer so that the kingdom could prosper. + purely based on character design: Arthur has light hair and Merlin has dark hair, shiny armour and rags, a royal who is always in the spotlight and a servant who isn't suppoused to be seen.

Morgana and Merlin are made from the same material. Their actions and choices come from the same place. They both feel like an outsider, they are both scared, they both want a better future. They're both impulsive, brave and outspoken. They value their inner circle above everyone else and quite literally ready to do anything for their loved ones. They also strongly lean in their one chosen direction. Merlin and Morgana are opposites that come from the same place, an either or choice - like two sides of the same coin. Morgana chooses to fight against Uther to stop prosecution, while Merlin chooses being compliant to not cause more. Morgana chooses loyalty to magic community, while Merlin chooses loyalty to Camelot. Morgana shows her anger openly, while Merlin bottles up his. Morgana demands to be acknowledged, while Merlin hides. Morgana fights mostly against destiny, while Merlin fights mostly for destiny. Morgana choses to sacrifice others, while Merlin chooses to sacrifice himself. They seem like opposites but ultimately are the same, their only difference is the side they are on. Both Morgana and Merlin are ready to kill without remorse for what they think is right, as long as it doesn't concern their chosen people. Merlin killed sorcerers left and right and didn't blink an eye until he had to poison Morgana, because she was one of his chosen people. Morgana was ready to kill Uther until she was reminded that he is in her inner circle.

Any character can be aromantic if you try hard enough. Be the change you want to see in the world.

I bring a real 'actually people who are pregnant do deserve some special consideration because they are effectively at least temporarily disabled if not permanently after some complications' vibe to the party that a lot of people don't seem to like

[ilynpilled]

death of the author yeah whatever but death of the fandom is so integral to enjoying and having a decent read of legitimately anything like that is just a necessary step to take in ur head always. do not let them affect the text in any way exterminate them all with ur death ray. they r not real and cannot hurt u and have absolutely 0 bearing on the text itself lol
