Let's dance, you and I.

Hello, my name's Natasha. I embrace everything that is geeky and full of nerd - this includes Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings, Sherlock, anime, video games, and cosplay. Anywho, I miss blogging so this will mostly be a compilation of random stuff spanning from schedules, quizzes, to mindless self-indulgence and thoughtstreams.

Thor + some of his under-appreciated intelligence

[insanity-keeps-things-fun]

Thor is like a jock from school who everyone thought was average at best with school. But then one day someone just “Wait a second, he’s in all advanced classes,” and everyone realises that he’s never done anything to make people think he’s not super smart- he’s just so nonchalant about his smarts people didn’t notice

Filipino Pixar characters!

FILIPINO PIXAR CHARACTERS!

[banging on kalderos and kawalis]

Pixar short film “Float” written and directed by Fil-Am Bobby Rubio is going to have Filipino lead characters!

Salamat Kuya Bobby!

[magicalboye]

I don’t think y'all non-filipinos understand how big this is. I can name on one hand how many filipino characters I know in western media and only one of those is animated and targeted towards kids (god bless steven universe). So for a major company to do something like this is amazing. Last time I was this excited was when that family was talking in tagalog for that spaghetti commercial. Anyways my filipino ass is so excited my mom is gonna freak out when she sees this god bless we are finally getting the representation we deserve.

[kingseffect]

Lol as someone who grew up around a lot Philippino people in my life (Norfolk, VA has many Philippinos here) and i noticed growing up how many people don’t put them in shit. They will use every type of culture from Asian/ Pacific Islanders people but you all and im happy

[serafinacastaway]

☝🏾☝🏾☝🏾Can confirm, I was born and raised here, and I’m going to be sending this to my best friend and her husband because he and her son are Filipino and I hope he gets the same joy from seeing himself on the screen as my cousins did with the Princess and the Frog.

“i have a right to ask you to do anything” is a very dangerous thing for an adult official to say to a child in school.

[renthony]

Maybe all the twentysomethings are obsessed with cartoons because all the “adult” shows show the same traumas, frustrations, and anxieties we already have to deal with 24/7.

Sometimes you just wanna watch a princess of power or a magical alien child do fancy magic stuff in a lower-stakes world where you can be reasonably sure you won’t be subjected to depictions of extreme violence, gore, assault, and sex without warning, ya dig?

[raeseddon]

It’s true and you should say it

[sith-shenanigans]

so much adult media likes to pretend hopelessness and pessimism and cynicism are something profound instead of the same depressing nonsense that you can find self-righteous assholes spouting on any given corner of the internet

society acts like we’re supposed to outgrow hope somewhere between sixteen and twenty-two and it’s absolute bullshit

being an adult isn’t about giving up

hold on, let me repeat that

just in case y'all didn’t hear me in the back

being an adult isn’t about giving up

Hawaii Becomes the First State to Pass a Bill in Support of Universal Basic Income

Hawaii's government is going to evaluate UBI.

Innovation and forward-thinking may be Hawaii’s two biggest exports in 2017. Earlier this month, the state earned the distinction of being the first in the U.S. to formally accept the provisions of the Paris Climate Agreement after President Donald Trump decided to withdraw the nation from it, and now, Hawaii is taking the lead in embracing yet another innovative idea: universal basic income (UBI).

Today, Hawaii state representative Chris Lee wrote a Reddit post about House Concurrent Resolution 89, a bill he says he introduced in order to “start a conversation about our future.” According to Lee, “After much work and with the help of a few key colleagues, it passed both houses of the State Legislature unanimously.”

The bill has two major provisions. First, it declares that all families in Hawaii are entitled to basic financial security. “As far as I’m told, it’s the first time any state has made such a pronouncement,” wrote Lee. The second provision establishes a number of government offices “to analyze our state’s economy and find ways to ensure all families have basic financial security, including an evaluation of different forms of a full or partial universal basic income.”

voltron really gave us super lovable characters with so many potentially diverse arcs and then did absolutely nothing with them. huh

This idea’s been around for a while since I finished Birth by Sleep and I can’t really unsee the association lol

The Lion Switch did everyone dirty, including VLD

Since I’ve talked about this off and on in other metas, I want to summarise my thoughts about why the Lion Switch storyline was so unsatisfying, and why it did a disservice to every character involved. I’ve talked about this issue a lot with regards to how it affects Shiro, but in the aftermath of S7 I think it’s important to analyse how the Lion Switch robbed multiple characters of satisfying arcs. The problem with the Lion Switch comes down to two things:

Rather than providing opportunities for growth and development, the Switch actually just reinforced some of the worst fears of the characters involved, and kept people locked in static and unsatisfying narratives.

The Switch also destroyed VLD’s central themes and messages of self-acceptance, and the idea that everyone on the team was equally important no matter what their role.

This is a slightly long one, so it’s going under the cut:

US Open Final

“I don’t cheat to win. I’d rather lose.” —Serena 

I followed this US Open up until the the final match that I ended up missing today. After seeing what transpired, I’m glad I did. I just knew it was gonna be a tough, nail-biting, exciting match between two Black women—one who’s the greatest athlete of all-time and the other who’s a young, hungry, explosive player who’s competing against her idol—who were gonna put on an amazing, historic show.

That didn’t happen.

Carlos Ramos, the asshole umpire who called a coaching violation against Serena during her match against Naomi Osaka at the US Open Final, called the same thing against Venus during her match against Alize Cornet at the French Open in 2016. Both stood their ground and refuted it. He’s doesn’t do it to the men, even after Rafael Nadal threatened him at the 2017 French Open. 

Many of the fans were already on edge because they were rooting for Serena. To bring his bullshit to the game, intensify an uneasy atmosphere, and cause Naomi’s first win to be overshadowed by it to the point that she tearfully apologized during her speech to the crowd almost as if she was sorry for winning, is ri-fucking-diculous. 

Serena is not a sore loser, which people who dislike her always peg her to be. She’s a gracious competitor. Always. She demonstrated it again today. She embraced Naomi, calmed down the crowd, and made sure was Naomi wasn’t only celebrated, but felt celebrated. 

Sad it had to all go down like this…

Naomi, who’s Japanese-Haitian American and representing the country of  Japan, is the first Japanese to win a Grand Slam singles title. That woman is gonna go so far. 

[dontwantthenextcommanderiwantyou]

“Williams told Ramos “You stole a point from me and you are a thief.” Ramos took the remark as verbal abuse, and awarded a game to Osaka.”

Serena is A True Queen, even after being robbed of a game by a hating ass umpire, sis is still GRACIOUS and showing love to her opponent in their win. 

“Osaka played the way you have to play to beat the greatest athlete of all time, but it should never have ended like this. An umpire’s feelings should never decide a game. Serena is absolutely right that men say a lot worse things and never get a violation. Bad moment for sports.” - Michael Skolnik
