Ahem…not to shake a table we’ve already shaken but…

All y’all older women in fandom spaces writing and consuming smut need to put in extra effort to recognize when you are speaking to and interacting your peers or to younger people and teenagers. I’ve been reflecting about how damn long I’ve been reading HIGHLY explicit fan fiction and how I used to consume content with inappropriate character pairs and you know who was around and even *encouraging me*? Older women. Me being 16 reading SasuNaru fan fiction shouldn’t have been having conversations about sex and explicit materials with 20+ year olds. Your womanhood doesn’t excuse you and being a nerd doesn’t exempt you from needing to be responsible in the ways you interact with young people.

The fact that 20+ year old women were talking to me about Ben 10 smut when I was 13 is proof of this as well and they KNEW I was a lot younger than them.

‘Beyonce covered Sex On Fire at glastonbury right?’ ‘She made the song a lot better. She made me masturbate to my own song.” - Caleb Followill (from Kings of Leon)

connor carrick is a national treasure

When people say “this is actually a good thing I am so smart” I want them to realize that the govt isn’t killing buzzfeed “reporters”, they’re killing reporters who are talking about government corruption and investigating powerful elites you fucking dummies

oh my god IT’S TRUE

also much as i hate to mention the solo movie when chewie introduced han to the wookie they found in the mines his first reaction was to pat hans head like you would when you meet a new dog

To further the analogy of Han is the Dog, According to various canon sources, a Standard Human in the Star Wars universe has a life expectancy of roughly 100-120 years. A Wookie has a life expectancy of around 400 years. So, caring for Han for Han’s whole life is a commitment of less than a quarter of Chewie’s life. It’s like having a dog that lives to 20-22. A long term companion, but one you know you’re probably going to outlive.

When they kill your dog

i like this movie
