I guarantee you I won’t be looking for “spindrift” when I want “blue but not on the purple side I want it more green but not that green how saturated do we go here should it be whiter or what”

The first one is more accurate to writers than artists tbh

Over the weekend I had a 2 hour long debate with a Tory, Hitler sympathising family friend.

Growing up around this person, I’ve always been rather cautious in their presence, they thrive on lad culture and therefore always mocked me - even as a child. At times, I was a bit scared of them.

But during this debate, I completely held my own. I was more educated than them, managed to speak eloquently through my anxiety and I won. They backed down, admitted that I was clearly more educated on the multiple topics we were debating and therefore he couldn’t argue with me. This doesn’t mean he came out of it agreeing with me, but for this person to say this to me and us leave on good terms was a HUGE win for me.

To the many family members around us and my boyfriend, this meant nothing. But to me, it was everything.

It signifies how far I’ve come with my mental health, after all my hard work over the last year, I’ve been able to stand up for myself and my principles to a man who used to scare me. And frankly I feel like a boss ass bitch

Re-watching the MCU

(Series and all, because lockdown)

So I’ve started noticing some things that I didn’t before (despite having seen each movie at least 5 times each... 20 of we’re talking about The Avengers), so I figured I’d make a thread to update on my re-watch journey...

[lord-kitschener]

Sure, relationships typically start with a honeymoon phase that then grows into something deeper but a bit more mellow if things work out, but it’s depressing as fuck that this has turned into a really, really common script for straight relationships that says it’s totally normal and inevitable for dudes to just become more and more emotionally checked out of the relationship, and leave it to their girlfriend/wife to perform if she wants to get even a crumb of affection from him. I’m so fucking tired of seeing women constantly being taught that decades of emotional neglect is just our lot in life.

[yardsards]

what “getting out of the honeymoon phase” should mean: you aren’t joined at the hip anymore and can spend time apart, but you still greatly enjoy eachother’s company and deliberately make time to be together. you’re not just a unit, you’re a matched set (like, you’re susan and bob rather than susanandbob). you start to see eachother’s flaws and don’t put eachother on a pedestal but instead love eachother as human beings, flaws and all.

what it should NOT mean: you barely talk anymore. you feel like two completely different people, tied together by a frayed thread. you’re annoyed by eachother’s flaws and don’t like to be around eachother

[cumaeansibyl]

similarly: “relationships are hard, they take a lot of work” means that cooperation on a daily basis in both the practical and emotional realms takes conscious effort. you can’t coast on those honeymoon feelings forever, and you aren’t psychic, so you have to pay attention and communicate so you can honor each other’s wants and needs.

it should not mean that you’re fighting every two days or walking on eggshells to avoid the anger of an unreasonable partner or breaking your back trying to get the slightest sign of affection or respect from someone who’s checked out and doesn’t care about you.

[beetlebip]

also, don’t let the fact that the “honeymoon phase” eventually goes away worry you about relationships. sure long term relationships lose that ‘excitement’ that new relationships have but once you’ve been with your partner long enough it’s just as enjoyable, if not better because you basically become best friends

Rewatching the winter soldier for the bazillionth time and truly, what I love about it, are the “everyday” heroes who tried to do the right thing:

Sam Wilson

Sharon Carter

The guy running and screaming “close the bay doors!”

The air control techs who let Steve, Maria, and Sam in with a simple, yes, sure, please do come in, sir

The guy who wouldn’t launch the helicarriers

The members of the world security council who stood up to Pierce (not if it was your switch)

All the people who were trying to be “the only air support captain Rogers has”

This movie was about every person having the same energy as Steve Rogers; every person can be a hero if they choose to.

This movie is somehow more relevant in 2019 than it was in 2014.

kept tags: #winter soldier now feels like such an outlier#partly because.... think about it. where's everyone else in infinity war or endgame? i mean *everyone else.* the public. people.#age of ultron. civil war. infinity war. endgame. they all reduce nonpowered bystanders to pure collateral damage.#at least in the first avengers film they showed cops and firefighters trying to help fight and protect#but in everything after that? all the team movies? everyone but the heroes are just there to be menaced or killed#there's no brave civilians#there are barely any civilians at all#the streets and parks were totally empty in the earth fights of infinity war#'oh but it's a cosmic struggle you can't have somebody from brooklyn throw a tire iron at thanos'#uh buddy#that's steve rogers right there#that's the essence of his character and of so many heroic characters#I don't care how cosmic the stakes are#give me an underdog's fight or fuck off basically#give me nonpowered people who just happen to give a shit about their neighborhood and or world#give me brave civilians#give me the old german guy who told loki to go fuck himself#they demonstrate that the world is more than superpowered squabbles: it's a society worth fighting for.

not to be like anti-neurotypical or whatever but adhd people with hyperfixtations and autistic people with special interests are like, literally the core of any fandom. all those fics and comics and askblogs that update daily with no signs of stopping? those theory and other fandom blogs that post content so often you wonder how much free time they have? listen, it’s amazing what you can get done when it’s literally the only thing you fucking think about. appreciate your local autistic/adhd content creators.
