everything is canon

20s. Born in Russia, grew up in the States, now live in Wellington, NZ, and life couldn't be better. Except I could have more money and be married to Benedict. This blog was originally started for BBC Sherlock obsessions but now there's lots of Destiel and I don't even know anymore.

Why we love gay ships

I’ve wondered about this a lot and for a long time. I think at least PART of the reason that people, young women especially, become so attached to gay male ships–canon or not–like Destiel and Johnlock is because it’s two men showing emotion toward each other. We appreciate that it’s a cultural stigma for guys to show affection, especially for each other. But it’s what we crave from them. It’s no secret that we nerdy girls often feel a lack of attention and affection from guys. So the idea of men comfortable not only with treating women well, but men, too? Maybe that’s reassuring. Some of us may find it attractive when a man doesn’t feel the need to reassert his masculinity every time he hugs his buddy. Of course, there is the obvious reason of wanting equal representation as well. This is just my theory. :)

[sthpiders]

My theory is actually that women ship men because they're usually two very well written characters, interesting, deep, and not overly sexualized. And they typically build their friendships on very solid foundations that COULD take romance extremely well.

I actually can't think of a single hetero couple that fits that (whether it be platonic or romantic).

Female pilots edited out of the Star Wars movies.

[brightcopperpenny]

I saw the tweets about this today, and I was like oh yeah, I remember hearing about that.

And then I saw the pictures and just— wow. What it would have meant to have these women in the movie, all this time. I can’t properly articulate it but it’s hitting me unexpectedly hard.

[jasoncanty01]

Wow thats a shame, even a nice old lady too.  These Space Valkyries  should have been left in.

[cheskamouse]

They really should have.

WHAT.

THE.

FUCK.

I lived, ate, and breathed Star Wars from age 2 until 2005 when RotS finally beat the enthusiasm out of me, and I have NEVER, EVER in all my reading on behind-the-scenes and makings-of heard of these shots. It’s a shame there was no relaunched edit of the original trilogy they could have slipped these in OH FUCKING WAIT THERE’S BEEN LIKE 3 OF THOSE NOW.

Fuck. FUCK. Whoever decided to edit out and bury these needs to french kiss an angle grinder.

These are quickly being put into the “always reblog” category.

[kriatyrr]

Whenever there is a war, there are women who are warriors. Then they get erased from history. Happens in real wars and fictional ones alike.

[lettersfromtitan]

Less than 5% of general aviation licenses go to women.  If these had been left in, you can bet that number would be higher.

[mxlabradorite]

^^^That knocked the breath out of me.

[mightyviper]

I just can’t believe they not only took them out, but refused to put them back in during the seventeen times they updated the movies. And of course the only possible explanation for this is: you do not belong here.

[writeinspiration]

Representation matters. Now we just have to hope they learned that.

In your next story, write about one of the female pilots.

[bonestructureandcontempt]

One of those women could have been Poe Dameron’s mother. His backstory talks about Mama Dameron being an A-Wing pilot and a Battle of Endor veteran. It’s a shame this footage got cut, it’d have done so much for the lore and for the fans.

[baph0meat]

im serious about that “stop saving things for special occasions” bit tho like. even if u aren’t in your 20s. thats for everyone. its one of the most useful things ive learned lately

stop! just stop. eat the special snack. drink the expensive hippie tea. use the incense or the bath bomb or whatever you paid way too much for because you were feeling really bad and retail therapy makes u feel alive

when we save things for special occasions/rainy days it contributes to us feeling like A.) our day to day existence is lackluster and B.) you have to be feeling a certain level of Bad, or have to reach a certain level of Socially Accepted Achievement, to enjoy things

just give yourself stuff. there are definitely sometimes reasons to withhold things from yourself - as motivation, if it’s something you consciously want to use sparingly, etc - but at least for me half the time it just turns into self-flagellation and also cool things and cool experiences and nice treats just collect dust while i wait for some fabled day when i convince myself i finally Deserve it

just fuckin give yourself stuff dude. life’s so mindblowingly short

[voidbat]

my grandmother died having only used her china like twice in her life. during the year or so before her death, she was starting to package up and give things of hers to her kids, and gave mom the china while sighing “oh i wish i had used the china more!” and mom tried so hard to convince her to just keep it, then, and eat corny dogs off it if she wanted. she insisted she couldn’t possibly, you need a special reason to use the fine china. when nana died, we used her fine china as our everyday dishes for years. i was 18 when she died, and never really stopped having that in the back of my head. now, when i hear myself say “i wish i had a reason to wear/do/eat/use X!” i hear nana regretting never really using her china. and let me tell you a thing: spaghettios taste great when eaten from fine china.

[dear-miss-adair]

I’ve seen this post making the rounds. Just wanted to add something to it that my sister-in-law once told me:

“A ‘special thing’ can make any occasion special.”

She told me this when I objected to her opening a really expensive bottle of champagne just to watch a movie. And you know, she was right. The champagne was amazing and while we always sit around and watch movies, that bottle made that night a really special occasion that I will always remember.

So, cut yourself a little slack and remember that an ordinary day can become special.

new pope

[crystalive]

THE GUY IN THE BACK JUST NODS AT THE KID

like, ‘yeah you can totally sit there’

[erisg223-deactivated20140925]

New Pope is the best Pope. He doesn’t hate on everyone who doesn’t conform to his faith. He lets tiny children sit in his big official chair. He poses for selfies. He is a good Pope and I hope he is with us for a long time.

[abnest]

this is actually significant because that isn’t just “the official chair.”

that’s the Holy See.

The Holy See is considered the sovereign of Vatican City. No, seriously.

Every other pope has used a throne for the Holy See. Francis replaced the ornate object with THE SAME CHAIR THAT EVERY OTHER LEADER WHO VISITS THE VATICAN USES. This was an action that created a considerable stir, as one might imagine. It was a significant remark, metaphorically, putting the pope at the same level as every other world leader. No greater a man than his peers.

And after all of that, he sees a little kid run past him and lets him sit in the freaking Holy See.

And no one stops him.

Good man. Best pope.

[gay-corpse-sex]

That kid is living the dream and the Pope is just like “Okay” and the guy in the back is like “Ye kid”

isnt this the pope that said fuck during a speech

[visualvexation]

and the one who blessed a male stripper’s parrot

and the one who used to be a bouncer

and the one who has washed the feet of prison inmates, women, and Muslims alike

and the one who attends soccer tournaments
