Derry Girls really said that life is not a linier series of events and the worst parts of your life can and will co-exist with the best parts and there is no telling if and when those will be. So you just have to try and make the best of every situation as it comes to you.

And they were right.

stede and edward + making each other smile

do y'all even know how much i hate being an "elder queer" at 40? a whole goddamn generation before me was wiped out by a plague that politicians deemed not their problem bc it was killing the "right" people. like. this was OPENLY STATED. i spent a large chunk of my childhood going to funerals. nevermind the fact that killing queer people for being queer wasn't codified into law as a hate crime until i was a junior in high school.

i should NOT be an elder queer, i should be middle at most. i am a middle aged queer. most of the elder queers died.

when i was growing up i didn't go to pride parades, i went to pride marches. because that's 100% what they were in the 80s and 90s.

from the absolute bottom of my heart, LEARN OUR FUCKING HISTORY. a generation was nearly wiped out so you young queers could be here. don't let that have been in vain, please.

the fact that people have reblogged this and tagged it "q slur" makes me want to eat glass.

Ice age children frolicked in 'giant sloth puddles' 11,000 years ago, footprints reveal

More than 11,000 years ago, young children trekking with their families through what is now White Sands National Park in New Mexico discovered the stuff of childhood dreams: muddy puddles made from the footprints of a giant ground sloth.

Few things are more enticing to a youngster than a muddy puddle. The children — likely four in all — raced and splashed through the soppy sloth trackway, leaving their own footprints stamped in the playa — a dried up lake bed. Those footprints were preserved over millennia, leaving evidence of this prehistoric caper, new research finds.

The finding shows that children living in North America during the Pleistocene epoch (2.6 million to 11,700 years ago) liked a good splash. “All kids like to play with muddy puddles, which is essentially what it is,” Matthew Bennett, a professor of environmental and geographical sciences at Bournemouth University in the U.K. who is studying the trackway, told Live Science.

it's kinda funny that articles are like "walk to work, only take a cold 30 second shower, eat leaves straight from your yard, separate your neighbourhood's trash by hand and don't even THINK about driving a car to get an iced coffee that comes with a plastic straw you piece of shit" and then you see another article that's like "30 celebs travelling by private jet in style"

And then they did.

love the way david jenkins refuses to apologize for shit just not making sense. how do they get places so quickly? doesnt matter. why is ed wearing full leather wouldnt he be sweating like hell? oh yeah it'd be awful to be a pirate in that, but it's hot, next question. he does not hesitate to just be like. eh who gives a shit. they're in love, who cares about how the boat got there. it's all fake anyway. here watch taika and rhys kiss.

Imagine you’re Geraldo. You are vibing being one of the malewives ever. And then one day one of the most cringefail men you have ever seen walks into your wife’s establishment, introduces himself Like That, tells Blackbeard’s first mate to tell his boss to go suck eggs in hell, breaks your wife’s nose jar, and then doesn’t seem to take the hint when your wife kicks him out and tries to do some sort of dramatic exit. You trick him into getting stabbed by the Spanish Navy and you figure he’s as good as dead, because if he survives the navy somehow, then Blackbeard’s gonna kill him and you think nothing more of it.

Then two weeks later Izzy hands walks into your wife’s bar and tells you that that cringefail guy in the white suit has not only survived, but he seduced and fucked Blackbeard.

Why is this heat so hot 😩

It’s the heat

Cringe queers are the richest part of our community

Baby butches who really like star wars, trans catgirls, socially awkward twinks who may never be graceful enough to be fabulous, trans guys with weird hair, goths of many flavors

These are the everyday people who give us flavor and color. Not everyone can be a tv drag queen or a hot muscle butch on Instagram, and those who aren't, those who are loud and unapologetic, unhip and truly Queer in both senses of the word are the ones who you will meet, and often the ones who will make a difference

My biggest hope for Season 2 (which we're getting God dammit) is for Talia Burns to see, actually see Juliette as a person and not as a vampire, and to realise, with absolute certainty, that her daughter fell in love with an anxiety-riddled dork of a girl.

i was so excited to get elinor fairmont, a woman who is clearly manipulative and calculating, but who uses that out of love as much as curiosity and malice: she loves her dad. she loves her family. she loves her little sister. she was willing to enter an arranged marriage for her father's sake while smiling at him and telling him it was fine because it meant power. she didn't use figuring out that juliette hadnt in fact committed her first kill against her, only to try to help her in a way she understood and thought would be good for her. she let juliette tell her on her own time.

and when theo died, she was under the impression that she had been put into a trap by two hunters who have attempted to kill her entire family before, and being who she is, the choice between fight or flight is FIGHT. she could have let herself get staked so theo wouldn't have died, but i too would avoid getting staked with a massive silver spike.

elinor keeps mementos, which is supremely stupid of her, and she toys with the people she kills, as does Oliver. and yet, when i look into the tag what i see are people calling elinor evil and manipulative while not saying the same for oliver. they exhibit the same behaviours and the same pitfalls, and we dont actually know what happened that had margot and sebastian cast oliver out, what we have is his side and a pissed off elinor refusing to give him anything.

shes a flawed character, and she isnt human and doesnt have the same hangups about humanity that juliette does and thats FINE, shes a manipulative person but that doesnt make her evil, it makes her someone who understands how to navigate the world shes in and the people shes with.

very notably we have never seen her use her gift on her family. if she was evil and selfish and self serving, wouldn't she have? it would have been so much easier to make their parents f8rget she ever had a twin at all.
