yuri katsuki can have me @yaoifreak4life - Tumblr Blog

when i was a kid i thought i was homophobic for wishing i was a lesbian because lesbians are oppressed so it felt disrespectful to want to be one. which means i spent years feeling guilty for being homophobic but turns out i’m just an idiot who was a lesbian the whole time

dare-i-say-asexual

i found out i wasnt homophobic because this girl and i in high school had mutual feelings for each other. one day we were talking and i was going on about how i wish i was a lesbian because i was so attracted to her and wanted to be with her so badly and she just looked at me like I was like “I need you to understand you’re literally describing being gay”

people talk a lot about how wild shit would have gotten in the fire nation if zuko had joined the gaang at the end of season 2 but i think we’re ignoring that there’s a solid chance that in “The Runaway” zuko and toph would have ended up committing actual highway robbery

katara: can you believe the rest of them? you’re the only other person responsible enough to know not to pull these ridiculous scams–

zuko: oh, sokka said i’m not allowed to

katara: what?

zuko: i suggested a thing i used to do all the time when uncle and i were on the run. i don’t know why sokka didn’t like it, it’s the simplest scam ever

katara:

katara: do i want to know

zuko: it’s the one where i point my swords at somebody and they give me all their money. worked every time.

zuko: [is asleep]

toph, earthbending him to the top of the hill away from the rest of the group and then kicking him awake: rise and shine sokka’s asleep let’s go rob some people

zuko, pulling his dao out of his sleeping bag: sick let’s go

dihydrogenmonoxideawareness

Why would anyone want to consume it!?

etherealastraea

I teach my 7th graders about the dangers of dihydrogen monoxide.

I bring in a graduated cylinder of it and we talk about how it’s used in nuclear power plants and gmo crops. How inhaling even the small amount I’m holding can lead to suffocation or even death. It’s found in vaccines and cancer cells, but also in infant formula and pet food. It is a huge component of acid rain, can cause severe burns, and has been found in places that were thought to be the most pristine and unpolluted locations on earth.

We talk about how there are little to no regulations on this chemical. No bans, no warning labels, and most manufacturers don’t even have to disclose their use of it in their products.

My students are outraged. We talk about what we can do. Create posters and flyers to spread awareness. Contact our senators with petitions to ban DHMO. Spread this information all over social media.

Then I explain that the real problem with dihydrogen monoxide is that….when I am thirsty…there is just nothing else as refreshing, and then I watch their looks of absolute shock and horror as I drink the entire vial down.

I. Fucking. Love. This.

This is how misinformation works. How propaganda works. How manipulation works.

Amen.

To those who don’t get it:

“Dihydrogen monoxide” is the chemical name for water, AKA H2O.

another important element of understanding the joke is understanding how pH levels work

For anyone wondering, that last pic is another awesome breed called the Tibetan Mastiff :)

ultrafacts

Fun fact: Tibetan Mastiffs were often “paired” with Tibetan Spaniels. The Tibetan Spaniel is a natural-born tattle tale and would run along monastery walls to keep an eye out for intruders. Upon spotting someone suspicious they would go get the big dog.

I remember the resistance to “casuals” in video games. I remember the hysteria over “fake geek girls” entering fandoms. I remember Gamergate and Comicsgate. Some of the most toxic backlashes in recent years have stemmed from nerd and geek culture. As a nerd/geek, that severely disappoints me…

We can do better.

To make it simple: people who have experienced hatred aimed towards them are more likely to become isolated and, as a result, hateful themselves.

Wow. Three years with this show, I barely survived the finally, and it’s been so worth it.

I want to start by saying that I have been so fricken emotional and confused prior to the finale, mostly feeling like my childhood is coming to an end once this show does. But I’m pleased with the end and the impact that Marco and Star have left on me, Star teaching me responsibility, Marco acceptance of others, and both of them teaching me the inevitability of love and that true love is unconditional, and that at some point we need to grow up (but not too much). Starting Star at 12 years-old I did not expect it to show such depth, just an insanely spastic girl and her safe (boy XP) friend, but it has shone a wonderful and sparkling spotlight on the beauty of diversity and love, and I feel like I have a perfectly valid reason to be crying over this masterpiece Daron has orchestrated. This show has put off my growing up but I feel like Star shows that it’s okay to grow up, but it’s also okay to be a teen sometimes while you still are one.

I’m going to miss Star’s spunky and sparkly personality and her making me laugh at her silly comments and sassy remarks. I’m going to miss Marco being a jumpy goob and the constant strike of a karate pose from him. I’m going to miss Janna and her utter weirdness, which taught me that weird is okay, and Tom and all three of his eyes, showing me that it is okay to feel. These characters and so many more are all so fantastic and well-rounded and they will forever hold a very special place in my heart. I’m going to miss the rainbows, cupcakes, spiders with top hats, jelly beans, and warnicorns.

I’d like to thank Daron @daronnefcy for creating such a beautiful cartoon for me to rage, obsess, laugh, and cry over. I want to thank Adam and Eden for bringing Star and Marco to life and the amazing work they have done with them. Thank you to Brian H. Kim @brianwithanh for creating a musical setting for this show that made it so much more brilliant, and thank you to Ariel @hug-bees for being my inspiration throughout my time with this show, helping me to keep moving forward and pursuing and improving my art. Thank you everyone on the Star crew for making these last three years colorful, fun, and full of narwhals. So many narwhals.

And, of course, thank you, Star and Marco, for keeping me young for a little longer.

starco + relationship tropes [insp.]

seddm

I’ll make a detailed scene by scene post later explaining why this was one of the best possible ways for Starco to finally become canon, given all the previous build up and set up, but for the time being have a quick checklist:

Star was eager to have some alone time, showing that she really wanted this and that it wasn’t just a “Uh, Tom broke up with me and Marco said he loves me, guess I might as well give it a try.”

Marco, while shocked by hearing what he said, didn’t try to deny it, and admitted that it’s “the whole Marco”, the confession in Mama Star was clearly something that came deep from inside him and strongly relates to his whole person, even when he’s conscious. Also shows that they finally matured enough to have the guts to take such a big scary step in the unknown

The Blood Moon Curse gets confirmed as baloney not only to the viewers, but to and by the characters as well, stating that feelings were there since the beginning and that they slowly matured over time

Lots of physical contact and passion. This is important, it’s part of almost any romantic relationship and it’s something Starco sorely missed all this time, due to the heavy compartmentalization and separation of ROMANCE and EMOTIONS that characterized the whole show

“Marco, I want you to love me because I love you” gives agency back to Star after a season and a half of being mostly passive when it came to relationship stuff, confirming that she does actively love Marco and is not just accepting his love out of some sort of lukewarm “when you are loved you can’t help but love back” feeling.

-Star? -Marco? W-what are you doing here?! -Well… heh… guess, the same thing as you. So… any idea what happens if we stay here? -No. And I don’t care. Because with or without magic… -…we belong together.
