[He was] a person who struggled with balancing the competing forces of the Light and the Dark, and whose quest for perfection showed him that he was, above all, a complex of contradictions, and that in the end, such perfection did not exist.

He lay before her, an imperfect man.  And that was what made him so perfectly–and beautifully–human.

Reylo fanart for the transformation scene by the always incredible @panda-cappuccino .  The story is a Monster!Kylo / Beauty and the Beast pastiche based on the amazing prompts of @cobwebbing .  It’s part of the Ring in the New Year with Reylo collection on AO3.  (And yes, we were inspired by our mutual love for Sophie and Howl, and Beauty and the Beast).

#watch while a bunch of supposedly good and kindhearted adults#rake a nine year old through the coals#for being angry and afraid#after spending his life in slavery#and being taken away from his mother and everything he knew#will never be over how judgy and cold yoda looks in this scene#like a tiny little baby grinch#anyway#fuck the Jedi#actually just a fucked up space cult#you guys made your bed honestly#anakin skywalker#deserved so much better (@flaminganakin)

The first lesson the Jedi teach Anakin Skywalker is ‘fear is wrong, do not be afraid.’ That being afraid at all is wrong. He proceeds to spend the next approximately fifteen years always afraid that the Jedi will kick him out for his fear. A self-destructive cycle, that didn’t just destroy the Jedi, but also Anakin himself.

Such. A Good. Meta. Y’all know all these post about getting Anakin therapy? Well, someone should check out Yoda’s qualifications to teach preschool kids and sign him up for several developmental psych courses before letting him speak to a kid again.

But seriously, read that dialogue. He’s no idea how to really interact with a child that isn’t a Temple youngling. Likely none of them do.

reblog with the age you turn in 2017

[feathersandblue]

Shoutout to younger people in fandom:

It’s okay to enjoy “problematic” fiction.

It’s okay to draw fanart and write fanfiction that appeals to you, and you alone.

You’re allowed to ship whatever you want. Let me repeat this for emphasis: YOU ARE ALLOWED TO SHIP WHATEVER YOU WANT PERIOD.

Your own enjoyment and entertainment are valid  reasons to write, draw, or consume something. 

If this enjoyment takes the form of sexual gratification, that’s also a valid reason to writer, draw, or consume something.

Fiction does not have to be morally pure. Fiction allows us to explore things that we wouldn’t want to experience in real life, things like violence, sexual violence, drug abuse, sexual taboos, or kinks: all kinds of weird or disturbingt things, and that’s okay.

No, the narrative does not have to condemn these things explicitly.

You don’t owe other fans an explanation or apology for the things you enjoy in fiction 

If someone asks you to reveal personal information, it’s okay to tell them to fuck off. 

There’s no such thing as a fandom police. Whoever claims to have the authority to tell you what is or isn’t acceptable for you to enjoy, is just arrogating that right. Their strategy only works if you let them have this power, so don’t. 

It’s up to each person individually to create a “safe space” for themselves.

Other people’s mental health is not your responsibilty.

Not wanting to hear about anyone’s personal trauma does not make you a bad person.

I found these gifs I made a while back for a site that’s not running anymore, so I thought I’d post them here. It’s a description of psychiatric symptoms and states of mind using a pink box and some other stuff.

Tips for being less shy and reserved

1. Don’t focus on your feelings as they’ll likely grow and dominate the scene.

2. Remember that your fears are in your head – and the people you are with want to get to know you better.

3. Remember all those times when you’ve overcome your fears – and picture what you did, and how you felt when things went well.

4. Start up a conversation by noticing or commenting on something nice or cool about the person you’re with.

5. Ask general open questions (but make sure they’re not too personal.) For example, where they’d like to travel to, or what they’re studying.

6. Smile, be polite, and be interested in others.

7. Take the pressure of yourself, take your time to join in, and don’t feel you have to be something that you’re not.
