this thread absolutely killed me

This is the best thing on the internet

JUST LET ME BE.

Reblog if you are an asexual positive blog, believe asexuals exist, and are willing and able to create a safe space for your asexual friends

As an Asexual myself, YES

As someone who doesn’t give a fuck about who you do or don’t want in bed, everyone is welcome on my blog so long as you’re not a cunt. That’s why my brother isn’t allowed to follow me.

… All right, just a few words. I don’t care who you are and what you do with your life, it is YOUR life to live, not mine. If you want someone to talk to you and share their experiences and thoughts, thats fine but opinions will clash at that point. So long as nobody is harmed by your decisions, I don’t care if you want to become a NEET or a shut-in or an alcoholic or a drug-head or realize that you love a different sex, gender, or even you only love people with love and not sex. People might get offended by the fact I said so many different “bad” things in one statement but if one cannot accept that everything of that sort is more personal unless it harms people then they can fuck right off. One of my uncles is a very aggressive, pained, and misunderstood men… When he isn’t high. When he is, he calms down, smiles more, laughs easier, is able to ignore his pain, and can be FREE. I think that your choices are your own. If they help you or hinder, unless they hurt another, you must live with yourself at the end of the day, so if you are happy with the you that you are, then be the you that you are happy with. I basically just rambled on for a while their so sorry.

Asexual-Panromantic, and damn well proud of it.

ASEXUALS ARE VALID AND WONDERFUL

Hey @shamrockace

I just wanna let ya know youre valid, if you dont know that already

notre dame is burning.

this is ok.

it has happened before. it will happen again. it has been lost before. it will be lost again. and again. and again. and again. art and architecture are transient, and temporary, and 850 years may seem like a lot to the individual, who will live maybe 100 if they are very lucky and very healthy, but even the pyramids at saqqara have only existed for about 6000 years and that’s still not all that much, if you consider the grand scheme of things.

yes, this is terrible. as someone who is deeply religious and literally a professional historian with a focus on art and architecture, this is terrible. im mourning. im gutted. im horrified and upset and miserable. but.

it’s not over.

victor hugo wrote hunchback because notre dame du paris was in the process of collapsing and falling apart, and revitalized the entire world’s focus and love for this church, and that was not even 200 years ago. it led to it being renovated.

the roof has fallen in. the scars of fires are on its buttresses. the rose window has fallen out. the beams and piers have collapsed. the spire has toppled. the stones have suffered, and will suffer again, but it is not gone.

renovation work is essential. sometimes things collapse and burn and break and have to come back. it’s not a terrorist attack, it’s renovation, an accident, but we have so much evidence, history, carefully documented everything on one of the most studied places in the world.

it’s not the end.

The translation of the French tweet from @KoliaDelesalle reads:

Good news: all the works of art were saved. The treasure of the Cathedral is intact, the Crown of thorns, the Holy sacraments.

And the statues were removed four days ago for restoration work.

Every single one of these is pure gold.

the ancient finns participated in bear worship rituals which largely involved singing magical songs to convince a bear they’d just killed (since bears can reincarnate and would be mad at them) that it wasn’t their fault and that the bear had accidentally killed itself

level 20 bard + necromancer + druid party antics 

That’s great, but I automatically read that as ‘Bear workshop rituals’ and assumed that the ancient Finns had a version of Build-A-Bear 

Well now I can correctly moonwalk away from uncomfortable situations

Because everyone deserves to know how to do a mean moonwalk.

guYS THIS IS IMPORTANT

I definitely reblogged this sitting down not getting up to do the moonwalk at all

“Swearing is unattractive” I’m not attractive anyway so fuck off

with huge noses and over lined lips

I JUST HAD TO CLOSE MY EYES FOR A SECOND AND LIKE……..DIGEST THIS WHA T THE HELL

You know why

clowns actually originated in egypt to entertain royalty- they wore weird masks and imitated gods.  there were also clowns in ancient china, greece, and italy. it wasn’t “black face and then switched to white face” like i saw in the notes– the clown white paint was invented in 1801. 

the big, red nose is associated with alcoholism/being drunk (heavy alcohol usage can lead to severe rosacea and swelling of the nose), because drunkards in ye olde times were seen as fun for the whole family. the overlined lips create an exaggerated smile). curly or big hair was seen as whimsical and fun, as was a lack of hair (if you look up ‘vintage clowns’, you’ll see their hair is puffed out to the sides or upwards. nowadays, people probably wear afros because they’re cheap, and don’t involve lots of styling. 

i am passionate about clowns

They are a terrifying breed of monster, and must be eradicated from the face of the earth, but it’s relieving to know they weren’t born from a place of racial prejudice.

now if this aint goals idk what is

I love that she made it her twitter icon too

trying to be fashion

Here are some practice paintings I’ve done recently! I really enjoy trying to capture the beauty of the ocean and mountains.

i love that one old timey 1910s trans dude who has a tiny wikipedia page for himself that he earned entirely due to him starting fights in bars and being the city’s hottest casanova

i mightve remembered it wrong but it still feels like half of this page is “I’m A Man For Fucks Sake” and the other half is “That Motherfucker Is In Jail Again And Also Bit A Cop”

oh my GOD this is the best list

“ “[DEADNAME] Again" “ 

Like this glorious jerk got arrested so many times that was literally ALL THEY HAD TO WRITE IN THE PAPER

He was a vagrant street kid and Seattle girls were all over this guy, to the point where it caused a moral panic. There’s a famous anecdote about a women proclaiming her love in Denny Park and then trying to shoot herself, but most of these reports were falsely worded in a way that suggest his female admirers were “upset about being deceived” when really they were upset that he was wooing other women, or trying to get his attention by being as extra as possible.

What you also should know is that back in the day “seduction” was a literal crime that could put you in prison (unless you married the woman you seduced) but since he wasn’t cis they couldn’t really CHARGE HIM with anything. Legend.
