I finally watched The Sound of Music and like I get it now, I get it.
It’s a beautiful two hour love story of a strict man finally opening his heart again and then a fifty minute public service announcement to hate the nazis. Brilliant.
Reblogging this version cuz those two gifs show the sexiest duality a man can have.
2 things a man should do

There is a trend I’ve noticed that smut fics tend to be much more popular than anything else and honestly I just want to have something to look at to remind myself and that writing doesn’t have to have sex to be worth putting out into the community.
I do not know this baby but I love this baby.
This is it. The singular most uplifting video I’ve ever seen in my entire life. When Sam said there’s good in the world worth fighting for he meant this.
I recently came out to my mother's side of the family who are majority conservative christians and it went much better than I expected. Like, they were weirdly supportive. I only got one comment insinuating that I might possibly be going to hell but it came from my aunt and she's dying soon anyway so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯. Anyway, I'm telling them how shocked I am and that I honestly thought that they'd have more of a problem with it when my grandma is like "Well you know we've been through this before with your uncle Nicky" and I'm like "what" and so it turns out that my uncle Nick was born a Natalie, came out as a boy at 19, and my great grandma proceeded to pay for his top surgery and hormone therapy. In 1974. And I just had to process for a bit because my entire life no one has referred to him as anything other than he/him and his chosen name. I ask why no one ever thought to mention this and they're just like "tbh we forgot. It's been so long that he's been a man" This man is married. He has a wife and three kids. I ask my relatives how they went about having kids, whether through adoption or sperm donor or what and none of them know. Apparently he just told everyone that they were gonna be parents and then one day showed up at my grandma's house with a baby. No questions were asked. Just. He and his wife had a baby now and that was that. Three times. Weeks later when I finally talk to my aunt Sarah (Nick's wife) all she tells me is that neither of them have ever been pregnant and, I quote, "sometimes you just come into children". She phrased it like people use the phrase "come into money". Like children are something that just happens to you. I ask my relatives if any of them had a problem with Nick being trans at the time, saying I'd understand if they had negative feelings about it, as it was the 1970s after all. They were like "nope" and i was just like "you didn't think anything of it?" And my grandfather was like "these things happen" while the other adults nodded sagely. So I guess the moral here is that if my conservative christian relatives could accept my uncle as trans in the 1970s then there really isn't any excuse for anyone. And also my family needs to ask more questions because I'm fairly sure my aunt and uncle stole their kids.
I'm laughing my ass off at that last sentence- But I'm so glad your coming out went well! That's one heck of a way to find out you have LGBT relatives.
Wow i just submitted this ask thinking it would give a few people a good chuckle. I had no idea it would reach 13000 notes!
In response to some things people have said:
Thank you to everyone who offered their congratulations! I came out as nonbinary and use they/them or zey/zem pronouns. My family has continued to not bat an eye and life feels pretty good.
A lot of people are saying that they're not surprised my aunt and uncle "came into children", some even saying that they've been offered kids multiple times. I'd just like to say I am concerned about your life/area you live/social circle if children are such an easily aquired asset.
Finally, I figured you guys would get a kick out of knowing that finding out my uncle was trans was actually the least surprising thing that was revealed in that conversation! That's right folks, it turns out my great grandma committed insurance fraud! By making up an entire house fire! The "great house fire of '74" as it's been known in my family, the infamous house fire which supposedly destroyed all of our family photos and heirlooms and that my family has talked about since literally before I was born was actually just a hoax invented by my great grandma to collect the insurance. And everyone in my family just. Went along with it. Also apparently the reason we "lost" our family photos is my uncle seized the opportunity to hide all of his pre-trlansition photos, but figured it'd look suspicious if only his photos were missing so he hid them all.
To make things even crazier, I was then treated to a tour of my grandma's attic where I was shown the "lost" family photos (some of which date as far back as the 1880s!) and our "heirlooms" which include but are not limited to: a diamond encrusted broach supposedly from the 1780s, a variety of german and dutch oil paintings, and an honest to god actual 8" solid gold statue of the virgin mary. I have no idea how any of these items were aquired and was given vague half answers when I asked.
So yeah. To recap: I'm pretty sure my mom's family is a literal fucking mafia, everything in my grandma's attic is stolen, my uncle obtained his offspring through "suspicious" means at best, and my great grandmother was a fucking wild old bat whom I sorely wish I could have met. Whaddya know.
Can't wait for their collab

Unmute !
even if you only reblog, that’s enough
i was debating on whether or not i should post this on tumblr but seeing as there haven’t been posts about this yet, here it is. i’m exposing my real location and nationality but it doesn’t matter.
if you have been active on twitter, you may already know #savemyanmar is trending. long story short, there has been a military coup. several nations have released statements but i want to share insight on what’s happening in the country.
memes about a coup have been circulating around for a couple days and when i slept at 2 am last night, we were still under the rule of the National League for Democracy (NLD). while they are not technically democratic, they are the closest we’ve got. when my mother woke up at 6 this morning, she was notified that the country was now under the rule of the military.
banks services are no longer available. wifi was cut at around 7-8. some people got wifi again earlier but many got it barely thirty minutes ago. this is bad for businesses especially ones that require international communications. additionally, international students like myself are experiencing anxiety; how do we pay for and attend classes if we’re not sure wifi is a given?
myanmar has a long, complicated history with military governments. the last time the military went into rule was in 1962 and only stopped in 2011, following the 2010 elections. there was a huge protest in 1988 lead by students that resulted in lots of death. during the military junta, resources like rice, water, oil, were scarce. the gist is military rule is bad for us.
all of my followers are not myanmar citizens, i’m sure but as part of the international community, please help us. here is a petition that you can sign (although i’m not sure if that can do much). there may be protests in front of myanmar embassies so look out for those. most of all, please help spread awareness.
the people here are coping with dark humor, primarily in the form of memes but we don’t know how long this rule will last, even though the official statement said only a year. here’s something that pretty much sums up our coping mechanism:
again, even a reblog helps
update :: all telecommunication means will be cut off at 12 am MMT

The only day we can reblog this

!!!!!!!!!!!
I went through a lot of things after surviving abuse, but one of the things that traumatized me the most was how all the shrinks and counselors treated my anger.
I wish someone had said this to me, instead of making me feel like a monster.
Oof. My therapist always says my anger is a “secondary emotion.” This makes it make sense.
I JUST learned that this shirt cost them $10,000 to put into this movie… but they refused to compromise because they were like: he’s the hugest Golden Girls fan… this has to make the movie… so they paid $10,000 to use Bea Arthur’s likeness on this shirt… Ryan Reynolds, you’re doing Deadpool so right.
They traded all the guns in the final climactic showdown for Bea Arthur’s face. Worth it.
Reynolds paid it himself, out of pocket. It didn’t come from the budget. He talked with Bea’s sons and they agreed to it for a donation to Bea’s favorite charity. ☺️
I did not know that. That’s so much better than I could have imagined.
It’s important to note that the aforementioned charity is a charity that offers housing to homeless LGBTQ youth
