I need yall to notice Yue Qingyuan's trauma more. Not just Shen Jiu's part. He was a slave, a child who felt responsible for all the other children. He escaped, only to have his body destroyed and rebuilt, binding his life to the sword.

How did he behave during his first days in the sect? When he suddenly had a place to sleep and access to food? when he didn't have to beg and take care of other children? Does he still, even as a powerful sect leader, sometimes instinctively hide his food when he doesn't finish it? or at the beginning he was constantly curled up in bed as if he was sleeping on the street because he had never slept on anything else?

i do not care if someone learned compassion from a cartoon or a comic or an anime im just glad they're here with us now a better person fighting the good fight. should it have taken something so trivial? maybe not- but it's in the past! and this is the now! and if they're objectively better for it who cares

[detectivehole]

"it took gay shipping for this adult to stop being homophobic 😬" ok but they stopped being actively homophobic. that's what you just said. that's literally the only important part you understand that right? this is a win for everyone you get that?

[detectivehole]

we all start somewhere and im going to be real buddy i only care about the harm you did or didn't cause on your journey and where you ended up. whatever set it off only matters as much as you want it too

[derinthescarletpescatarian]

Surely that is a major part of why we want more representation in mainstream media in the first place. It's very weird to campaign for good portrayals and then get mad when they work.

"They were homophobic until their own kid came out as queer!!!!" Ok. So what I'm hearing is that they're not homophobic anymore. What I'm hearing is that their child came out as queer and their parent then looked at their prejudices and questioned whether or not those prejudices outweighed their love for their child. What I'm hearing is that their love for their child won out against the prejudices they'd spent years espousing. What I'm hearing is that they grew as a person and they're an improved version of themselves now.

SQUISHABLE SPA DAY

This guest blog post is by Squishable fan Xavier F.! 

Your squishable is sad, dingy, and smells funny. What do you do? I’m here to tell you how to give your squishy pal a spa day all his own! All you will need are the following:

Any brand of body or baby wipes (I use Scott’s)

Baby powder or baking soda

A brush (preferably one with the soft bristles or fine-toothed)

Vacuum cleaner with brush attachment

Spot cleaner such as Oxy Clean (optional - used for tough stains more than regular maintenance)

Snuggles

First, wipe down your squishable with the body/baby wipes. This will rid him or her of most of the oils, smells, and dirt particles attached to the fur. You may need to use more than one wipe if your squishable is particularly dirty. Afterwards, it will be a little damp, so if there are any stains - or if you just want to brighten the white on your squishy - this is the perfect time to use your oxygen cleaner. Just follow the instructions on the container for spot cleaning. You will need to wait a bit while your squishable air dries. Don’t use a blow dryer or any artificial means of heat drying as this will melt the fur. You can brush him while you wait. It helps to brush a few times to really separate all the fur strands. Once your squishable is dry, apply baby powder or baking soda all over its body. Don’t use too much, or the smell will be overwhelming! Just a little bit goes a long way. This will break up any remaining oils and dirt, and make him smell even fresher!  Be sure to brush it all through his fur. Remember to always be gentle while brushing so you don’t pull out any fur or tear any seams. Brushing also is a good weekly regimen to keep your squishable looking fresh. Once you have thoroughly brushed all the powder through his fur, use the brush attachment on the hose of your vacuum cleaner to go over every inch of your squishable. This will suck up all the remaining powder and dirt, and will “re-fluff” him too! It also helps smooth down the fur strands. Voila! You have finished cleaning and pampering your squishable. Sometimes, the vacuum can scare them, so be sure to give your squishable extra snuggles when you are done! Stay squishy, my friends!
