Shane & his parents // Ilya & his parents Heated Rivalry, S01E01
Can we talk about how both David and Grigori are on the right side of the frame, Yuna is to the left of Shane- but to the left of Ilya is just a sharp drop.

my body, tearfully: when sleep???

my body, weeping: but???? when sleep?????
me: okay, finally now is sleep
my body: no. wrong.
I love that after we finish the newest episode of TVL we get to watch Interview with the vampire part three followed by the actors playing the vampires interviewed.
#watching interview with the vampire and then interviews with (actor) vampires
For anyone looking an explanation of the historical and contemporary tensions between the Black and Asian American community, and how that, too, is structural and fueled to benefit white supremacy. Proximity to Whiteness will never be Whiteness!
"Clearly I wasn't talking about disabled people-" yeah part of the problem is that the existence of disabled people just isn't considered in your worldview like that's the problem we're criticizing not a get out of jail free card
Daily reminder to Americans on this website that American war on Iran is bad because Iranians are getting killed not because you can no longer afford going to the movies in the weekends or refill your car 😒
studying history is like. here's to another beautiful day of not being pregnant and of having no obligation to ever be. thank you women who fight for abortion and contraception and independance from men for another beautiful day of not being pregnant and of having no obligation to ever be
NEW SCAM ALERT!!!
If you get mentioned under ANY blog that says they're Tumblr staff. DON'T FALL FOR IT!!!!!!
Reblogging this would help spread awareness to prevent ppl from getting their accounts hacked and such.
it would be so awesome
it would be so cool
formative years? aren’t they all?
show me a permanent self and i will show you a facade or a corpse
I'll never stop being furious about the fact that Shane would have been *the first ever* NHL(/MLH) captain of Asian descent to lead a team to win the Stanley Cup, and TLG still ends the way it does
It makes me so fucking angry that this franchise gets so much praise for its diversity when it puts its protagonist that has the intersection of no less than three different minority identities through this awful, cruel humiliation ritual with no consideration for the greater societal impacts and then it fucking applauds it as his happily ever after
“Please consider how amatonormativity/compulsory sexuality/allonormativity might be impacting your perspective on this” is not at all the same thing as insulting someone, attacking them, or calling them a bigot, FYI.
That being said, please always take time to reflect and consider how amatonormativity/compulsory sexuality/allonormativity might impact your perspective on things like fandom, shipping, media analysis, real life relationships, politics, and everything in between.
btw it's so fucking stupid you can be anxious physically in your body even after you've decided mentally you don't care. I'm supposed to be in charge here
masculine energy this feminine energy that. well i’m out of energy
need me some of this "renewable energy" I keep hearing about
truly few things instantly put me in a bad mood more than humidity
WHY is the fucking AIR out here TOUCHING ME

How do i write a character who just got wings and getting used to them
How to write a character who just got wings
The extent on what happens depends on the span of the wings and if they can retract them. Some general ideas you can build on are:
1. Physical Sensations and Adjustment
Immediate sensations:
Weight or shift in balance, large wings pull the center of gravity backward.
Muscle soreness in the back/shoulders, especially along new muscle groups.
Hyper-awareness of the wings brushing against objects or catching air.
Itchiness or sensitivity if the wings "grew" recently.
Movement challenges:
Misjudging the wingspan and knocking things over.
Falling backwards because of the weight.
Learning how to fold them, awkward, slow, maybe painful at first.
Retraction (if possible) could feel like tensing very deep muscles or like closing a fist behind your back.
2. Clothing and Practical Issues
Clothing must be modified with slits, stretchy backs, or specialized harnesses. Jackets especially are a pain in the ass.
Backpacks don't really work anymore.
Sleeping becomes complicated, lying flat may be impossible.
Washing and grooming: preening feathers, drying membranes, accidental shedding, etc. maybe they need someone else to help them with this.
3. Emotional and Psychological Reactions
Internal:
Awe, excitement, disbelief, fear, claustrophobia (from a suddenly bigger body).
Feeling "larger than life" or feeling like a burden/monster depending on tone.
Social:
Depends on the worldbuilding and if this is a normal occurrence or not.
People stare, doors are narrower than they remembered, chairs become inpractible
Friends may react with fascination, jealousy, fear, or awkwardness.
4. Sensory Changes
Wings have nerves. Touch may be pleasant, ticklish, or painful.
Wind sensitivity, your character can feel air currents like a sixth sense.
Temperature issues: feathers insulate, membrane wings may get cold easily.
5. Learning to Use the Wings
Pre-flight:
Figuring out how to flare, beat, and angle them.
Overworking the muscles, leading to cramps.
Instinct vs. trial-and-error, do they feel intuitive or alien to the character?
First attempts at flight:
Running starts, panic flapping, short glides, messy crash landings.
Realizing flight requires technique (lifting angle, timing, wing power), not just force.
6. Realistic Physical Consequences of Flight
Flight demands big caloric intake, your character may become constantly hungry.
Stronger chest/back muscles develop, posture shifts.
Calluses or pads on feet if landing involves impact.
7. Daily Life & Worldbuilding
Will buildings accommodate large-winged beings?
Are wings common or unique? Does society have norms (wing etiquette)?
How does weather matter? Rain makes feathers heavy, wind can blow them sideways.
Also: If Wings Are Retractable
Retraction might feel like compressing or tucking away something huge, which may cause soreness or a sense of phantom wings when retracted.
Retraction could consume energy or rely on magic/technology.
There may be a risk of malfunction or partial transformation.
Retracting them can mess with the feathers, needing support to care for them when opened up again.
Hope this helps!
