we need to make an add-on that gives you the dictionary definition of queerbait every time you make a post accusing a show of it because i saw someone call bowser/luigi queerbaiting and. i have officially had enough. if you hand to god thought that nintendo entertainment was going to let that lizard turtle monster raw the little green plumber guy then that is entirely your fault. i cannot help you any more.

pls… i beg of you… reblog creations… or else there won’t be any more creations

it makes me so sad to see so many creators talking in the tags about how they’re not creating as much because less and less people are interacting. this is proof that interaction is vital. this is proof that a lack of interaction leads to discouraged creators and leads to less creations. liking—and only liking—does not encourage creators.

and that’s because (1) the purpose of this website is to share things that bring us joy and (2) likes don’t share things or ensure something is seen by more people, not like they do on other sites. so, when so many people decide to only like a post and not share it (i.e. not reblog it), that tells the creator that those people didn’t think their hard work was worth sharing with others. that’s discouraging. 

and the creator isn’t the only one that gets something out of that. you get something, too. you get the joy of sharing something you like; that’s a meaningful experience for both you and for the creator. and that experience—that interaction—encourages the creator to create more, and so there’s more joy to be had for both you and the creator.

long story short, interaction (i.e., reblogging, which is interaction in its simplest form on this site) brings joy. it’s literally all about the joy, people. the joy in discovering and sharing and appreciating and marveling at creations. so please reblog—for everyone’s sake, including your own.

Military movies ranked by levels of ‘Hoorah’.

As someone from a multi-generational military family, I’ve always had an infatuation with military fiction. Also, I just think soldiers are hot. But based on my families experiences, I am VERY much disillusioned to the military industrial complex. Therefore, its become a guilty pleasure for me, and the level of patriotism depicted definitely effects how I feel about the film.

Here’s a list for people who want hot men in tactical gear or just a shooty bang bang story, so you can know what you’re getting yourself in to.

Nary A Smidge Hoorah: Saving Private Ryan, Full Metal Jacket, Apocalypse Now, Enemy At The Gates, All Quiet On The Western Front, Catch-22

Minimal Hoorah: Top Gun, Tears of The Sun, Inglorious Basterds, Top Gun: Maverick, Jarhead, Dunkirk, Sand Castle, Fury

Medium Hoorah: Zero Dark Thirty, Platoon, American Sniper, The Hurt Locker, Hacksaw Ridge

Very Hoorah: Black Hawk Down, Lone Survivor, War Horse, Red Dawn, Behind Enemy Lines, GI Jane

Cringe Worthy Hoorah: Act of Valor, Battle: Los Angeles, Pearl Harbor

Please note: This isn’t an assessment on the quality of the film. Some of them are good and some are junk food.

Feel free to add to this list if you feel so inclined.

Anonymous asked:

Do you have any military fiction book recs? I’d love to get some recommendations!

I do, but nothing gay and nothing that's going to make you feel good.

My favorite book of all time is All Quiet On The Western Front. It's about a young, german soldier during World War 1 who, along with his friends, was duped in to enlisting by propaganda.

Written by an actual WW1 veteran, it gives you a very intimate and empathetic look at how war effects the individuals actually in it. It's a beautiful book and I can not recommend it enough.

Others Include: Fallen Angels by Walter Dean Miles, The Things They Carried by Tim O'Brien, and Rainbow Six by Tom Clancy.

Anyone please feel free to reblog with your own recs.
