She would break them over her knee ala Bane in Knightfall.

[eldritchcutie-deactivated201412]

Buffy would absolutely destroy those assholes and have time to make a snarky remark about it.

[allisonpregler]

Bonus points of she takes them out with pies.

Remember the s5 finale when Buffy threw that guy off the tower without even breaking stride? It’d be like that

[memewolves-archive-deactivated2]

I once described SPN as “Buffy but if you replaced every character with Riley” so needless to say it wouldn’t even be a close fight

[coerulescens]

BUFFY BUT IF YOU REPLACED EVERY CHARACTER WITH RILEY.

[geekasaur]

this is the single greatest description that i have

ever heard.

[viciousink3]

I think the only character in SPN who would stand a chance against Buffy is Bobby. Why did they kill off the best character?!

[pr1nceshawn]

Random acts of kindness.

CRYING

[pastelpolitoed]

I feel like a lot of people need this on their dash now.

[thenaebyrd777]

I definitely do

[viciousink3]

The world can be beautiful.

hi um are you ever planning to update what will survive us is love, or should I consider it abandoned? I don't mean to be rude but id just like to get the authors confirmation

I haven't abandoned it, but I've had quite a lot going on in the past couple of months with school, being the president of my Literary Journal and a few family emergencies that seem to steam roll one after another. I plan to continue writing, but I haven't had anything resembling time. I'm awful about keeping it updated, but I have the next chapter almost completely done and will hopefully have some time over winter break to put some new chapters on it. 

I'd ask you to be patient, but you've been more than patient so far. Thanks for your support, and I'll do my best to have something soon!

It’s Cops 101.

The principal of East Side Community HS invited the New York Civil Liberties Union to give a two-day training session last week on interacting with police.

The 450 kids were coached on staying calm during NYPD encounters and given a “What To Do If You’re Stopped By The Police” pamphlet. NYCLU representatives told kids to be polite and to keep their hands out of their pockets. But they also told students they don’t have to show ID or consent to searches, that it’s best to remain silent, and how to file a complaint against an officer.

Principal Mark Federman said he brought in the NYCLU because students told teachers they had bad experiences with being stopped by police. He said the training also was relevant to history classes studying the Ferguson, Mo., shooting.

“We’re not going to candy-coat things — we have a problem in our city that’s affecting young men of color and all of our students,” Federman told The Post.

“It’s not about the police being bad,” he added. “This isn’t anti-police as much as it’s pro-young people . . . It’s about what to do when kids are put in a position where they feel powerless and uncomfortable.”

The hourlong workshops — held in small classroom sessions during advisory periods — focused on the NYPD’s stop-and-frisk program and how to exercise Fourth Amendment rights when being stopped and questioned in a car or at home.

The fact that this is part of the curriculum should trouble you deeply.

[viciousink3]

This is deeply disturbing. Cops are supposed to protect the community, not terrorize them. I can't even fathom this. People are people no matter what the color of their skin is, I don't understand how, after everything this country has gone through in terms of equality, this shit is even a fucking thing that is possible. 

[mysharona1987]

Any cop who erratically shoots an unarmed kid out of "fear" and "paranoia" probably shouldn't be a cop in the first place.

Ink Reads 50 Shades part 1

I've heard horror stories of this book, so I decided to give it a shot. I found a copy online and I'm reading it. Holy shit, I'm ten pages in and I have never been more bored. Anastasia Steele is insipid, shallow and incredibly dull. 

The writing is terrible. I have seen first-person present-tense done really well (The Gemma Doyle Trilogy by Libba Bray leaps to mind) and this is not one of those times. The style is infantile and repetitious. I have no idea how old this girl is supposed to be. She says she's in college, yet she narrates like a fifteen year old (no offense, fifteen year olds). 

The plot makes no sense so far. Ana never once says she's on the school paper, she just lives with a school journalist. So, why wouldn't the paper just send another journalist in the roommate's place? I know this is supposed to be erotica, but this really fascinates me. 

I'm the president of my literary journal and if I can't make a meeting or there's an event or something club-related has to be done, but I can't do it, I don't ask my friend to do it. I get someone from the club to take over. 

So far, the whole plot is contrived and could Ana be any more of a petty bitch? She whines about her own looks (while never actually describing herself) and yet she seems to resent her "dearest friend" for her beauty and waxes incredibly snide about the women who work in Grey Corp. or whatever it's called. 

And the crumbs of personal interests we are given are nothing but over-used nerd buzzwords. British Literature. Loner, clumsy, shy... Jesus. She might as well say, "Hi, I'm a less compelling, far less likable, badly-written, discount Lizzy Bennet. I'll be your bland protagonist this evening." 

 Bella - I mean Bella... Dammit Ana (stupid autocorrect) is written with the arrogance that comes from knowing you're pretty without any of the self-esteem to admit and appreciate that you are. It's infuriating. 

AND I'M TEN PAGES IN.

See this beautiful creature? He's smart, funny, charming, caring and incredibly hot. And he's a guy. And for some inexplicable reason, he loves me. I love him, too. More than I ever realized I could. 

But just because I have fallen in love with a dude, does not make me a heterosexual. Usually, I don't care what people online have to say about this issue, because it's not my problem if you validate me or not. Like I fucking need your approval, come on. 

But I'm going to make an exception, just this once. I am with a guy. I love this guy. That does not mean that's I'm magically not attracted to girls anymore. I'm not a lesbian and never claimed to be. 

I am with one person and only one person, and that person happens to have a Y-chromosome. I'm still bisexual. Bisexual does NOT mean polygamous. Bis can be in happy, monogamous relationships same as everyone fucking else.

He is not "offended" by my attraction to girls. As evinced by the fact that I'm with him. If he had a problem with who I am, I would not be dating him!! He isn't "holding me back" from "being completely myself" any more than being in a relationship with a woman would be. 

No, I'm not "less a part of the LGBT community" for being in a heterosexual relationship. Hence the fucking B. 

That guy up there is something special to me. In him, I've found what a lot of people spend their whole lives looking for. It's not his body that matters, and never has been. If exactly who he is came in the form of a woman, I'd be just as shocked and honored to call her mine as I am with him. 

That's love, and that's a relationship. And if that offends your sanctimonious preconceived notions of what bisexuality is, that's your own problem.

Attention all

Look, we all know that the internet is dark and full of boners. We all know that the fastest way to piss people off is to have an opinion that is different than theirs (Which is, by the way, incredibly childish. Everyone has the right to their opinions, but everyone has the right to disagree with them and I do not understand why ideas can't be exchanged like rational adults instead of like whiny brats). But, should you find yourself in a disagreement with someone and you are in a position where you need to defend those opinions, DO NOT SAY "because of reasons." Use your words. You will go much farther by intelligently articulating your stand on an issue than parroting idiotic internet phrases as if an original thought would make your head explode.

Dean fails and then succeeds at making a pop culture reference

[viciousink3]

Can we take a moment to discuss the fact that Dean's seen Kindergarten Cop enough times to make that reference? 

[viciousink3]

I got my boyfriend to read the first Dresden Files novel and he absolutely loved it. He said (and he's right) that if he were a Noir Wizard, he pretty much would be Harry.

Public Service Announcement

If you write me angry notes under "anonymous" I will not take you seriously. Have the balls to discuss things like a grown up person. You can defend our views and I can defend mine. 

And if you send me messages that are nothing but telling me what a raging cunt I am for disagreeing with you about this or that innocuous thing, especially on anonymous, I will giggle. I might even have it framed. I might build a shrine to the whining pussies of the world so immersed in their own bullshit that any hint of a differing opinion sends them into a towering rage. 

And I will never, ever, not tag something for fear of making people mad. The more you tell me not to and the more obscenity-filled angry messages I get for doing so, the more necessary I think it is to do just that. I actually feel very strongly about reminding people that the way they think is not the only way to think and that you really need to mature the fuck up and remember how to deal with disagreements in the real world, where there is no anonymous button. 

[viciousink3]

explain how proposals and relationships work then, since you wanna say go fuck yourself to someone who opposes potential public humiliation.

Okay! First of all, people who get engaged tend to know the people they're asking. If a guy is dating a girl who is uncomfortable with public announcements he probably wouldn't do it that way. But since a proposal is and always has been a public declaration to your love for and commitment to your intended person - same as a wedding is - there is nothing inherently wrong with that. 

And since no proposal I have ever heard of has been turned down because the bride didn't like the way the groom proposed, which is what you implied, there are usually other factors and problems with the relationship. 

saying that a public proposal is a form of... what was it, emotional abuse? Is the most ignorant and fucking teenage thing to say I have ever heard. It shows a fundamental lack of understanding of the intricacies of relationships or the foundations upon which marriages are built. 

And I'd love to have had this conversation with you, but you posted on anonymous and thus this shit will just go on my wall. More's the pity. 

[viciousink3]

like are u ignorant on purpose? how can u live with yourself when ur filled with so much stupidity, honestly cracker get stuffed

... Is this in regards to anything in particular? 

[viciousink3]

HOW DARE PEOPLE LIKE THINGS I DONT LIKE RAAAHHHH Get the fuck over yourself

I love how you go on anonymous to write bullshit in my messages. I also love how disproportionately angry you get about my not agreeing ith the things you like. I was commenting on how the WRITERS see both the fans and their "ships" and the way it is shown in the show. You are bitching about one person's negative response to something that even the writers seem to have a problem with. Which of us needs to get the fuck over ourselves? 

[viciousink3]

Supernatural 200th

Can I just say how happy it makes me to see Dean about 19865473% fed up with this wincest shit? 

I mean, this marks the second time that the writers have written it into the episodes that they are not okay with it.

Actually, I think we might need to address the way that the writers clearly see the fans. I mean, Becky was a certifiable stalker who actually magic-roofied Sam into marrying her, was undeniably creepy and wrote wincest fic. 

The dude who died in the convention episode was a whiny nit-picker who went to the convention just to complain about how lame it was, the theater director girl in 200th practically bitch-slapped the chick playing Dean for saying she was just there for the credit and she ALSO was wincesting. 

Hell, the only two fans we've seen of SPN who weren't abhorrent were the gay couple, and even they had to have the living shit scared out of them before they stopped being douchey. 

And that is how the writers of Supernatural see the fans of Supernatural. And I'm not even going to go into the Wincest tag (nor would I ever) because I already know that there is at least one person bitching about how the writers are disrespecting their ship. 

Tough titties; they seem to think you're disrespecting their characters. They win. All I know is that whenever Dean gets that repulsed trigger-happy look in his eye about the subject of wincest, I feel like there is hope for the future of television.

You must be a writer.

[viciousink3]

I thought, for half a second, that there was a speck of brightness in the abyss of Tumblr fandoms. I thought that the readers of the Dresden Files, one of the baddest ass Urban Fantasy series of all time, would respect the books and characters we all love so damn much.

And...

[viciousink3]

Yeah, I was sort of blindsided by this ship and my knee-jerk reaction was abject horror. It's not that I meant to offend, but I was pretty offended. I don't think there is a pairing in the world bad enough to put me off Dresden or the parts of the fandom that are so awesome.
