it is

is it?

I think it means on the outside he's 6'4 which is seen as big and masculine I guess. But inside he feels 5'4 and small and insecure

Huh, okay, thanks. That makes more sense once you explain it.

It’s interesting though, that in a post about men’s body issues, the implication is made that short guys are “small and insecure” by default.

It’s a solid claim, I just think it could use better wording.

Anyways, thanks again, I really appreciate it!

The hat song? It's from an old Wizards of Waverly Place episode

THAT’S IT. I remember now haha. I used to sing it with my friends all the time and I KNEW it came from somewhere but I couldn’t remember where!

Thanks a ton c:

It's called nubian skin. but there's no way you're a double d honey, sorry.

1.) THAT’S IT. THANKS SO MUCH!

2.) I can understand why that seems unlikely. Hell, I used to wear a B before i realized what a mess my bras were.

^ This post is EVERYTHING. Literally life changing for those of us who wear bras. One of the things that is explained in it is that cup sizes are not universal, and are instead relative to band size (i.e. the cup on a 32B is not the same size as the cup on a 38B; it’s significantly smaller).

Trust me, I was confused too.

All the complex, emotional characters on SU, and your favorite is Lion?

I never said that actually. (But he probably is, tbh.)

And let’s be real here: at this point, he’s probably the least problematic.

Also I’m a huge subscriber to the theory that Lion is at least partially Rose, soooo that’s neat.

Paige, I honestly mean this. You are beautiful. Inside and out. I believe that you can go far, that you, with hard work, can achieve anything you set your mind too. Please, never lose hope. Never give up. Keep that fire burning.

This is one of the kindest anon messages I’ve ever recieved. Thank you so much. <3

Why does Opal have two eyes

Oh, duh, haha. My bad.

For some reason, I had been picturing her with four, similar to Rainbow Quartz’s. It’s apparently been awhile, whoops!

Why are you so involved in babying the people who are "triggered" by some stupid publicity stunt, while not mentioning ANYTHING about the ACTUAL TRAGEDY in Nepal? You're trying to look like a good person, but you're doing a terrible job at it.

If this wasn’t so harshly worded, I’d applaud you for asking what is actually a pretty good question.

The answer is that I know very little about the current situation in Nepal, and though I can understand the sense of tragedy and loss, there’s not very much I can do (that’s not already being done) from late at night in my dorm. I can donate, I can spread verified information. That’s about it. And there are already a ton of people on that, which I respect greatly.

On the other hand, I am familiar with feelings of intense fear and anxiety, which are reality for a lot of people right now. I understand what’s going on in this situation, plus I’d say I have a pretty solid sense of what kinds of words and actions are suitable in this instance. I am able to immediately offer help to those who need it (even if it’s not much more than some kind words and a friend), so I won’t hesitate to do so.

Now back to the fact that your message is really condescending and rude:

I’m not really sure why you put “triggered” in quotes. It doesn’t belong there. True, Tumblr has a severely warped sense of its use, but it doesn’t mean that these people aren’t incredibly scared and panicking, and that should never be taken lightly.

On a similar note, trying to care for someone in need is not “babying” them.

I’m not trying to look like a good person, I’m trying to BE a good person. I just genuinely want people to feel safe, because I know how hard it is not to, and I know that there are a lot of people who don’t right now.
