And there are so many reasons a kid might be quiet. I was quiet because I felt safer when I was quiet. Because I WAS BEING ABUSED. And I had to go through even more abuse at school because the teachers there wouldn't lift a finger to stop it.

Flashback to the time my science teacher said, "If you don't want to be bullied, don't make yourself a target."

Throwback to when my teacher said to me that i "basically chose to be bullied"💀

Do you know what the only thing that stopped the kids who bullied me when I was being bullied so badly I came home crying daily my entire fifth grade?

It wasn’t any of my mom’s suggestions, which were go to the teacher, go to the principal, just keep going to an adult because *surely* that will *eventually* help even though obviously it wasn’t and my life was turning into a living hell in the meantime while the authorities she put all her faith in did nothing and she didn’t lift a finger because she thought I needed to handle it on my own to learn *responsibility*. The teachers said either what this post did, or to just ignore them. Obviously none of that worked.

You know what did work?

One week when my mom was out of town, my dad was waiting by the bus stop for me. He drove his car over to some of the kids who had been picking on me, and scared the living daylight out of them by rolling down the window and asking them “so you think it’s funny to make little girls cry?” He didn’t *do* anything to them. Just scared the little shitheads so badly they hopefully never bullied anyone else ever again because they realized there would be fucking consequences.

My best friend and I didn’t have a single other issue the rest of the year. From anyone who had bullied us, not just that particular group. For the rest of the year we were left completely alone by people who had up until then tormented us every time the adults’ backs were turned.

So there you have it. Actual consequences and the fear of god (or a very angry father) are the only things that will stop bullies. Not ignoring them. And certainly not stoking their wrath more and then turning your back on them in the hopes they’ll go ‘pick on someone else’.

I keep seeing people use this image as a reaction to people's original posts:

Which I think is really incorrect, because with an original post they haven't come up to ur window, u've come up to their window.

So I made this, as a more accurate reaction for original posts:

My personal headcanon is that postcanon laios after he got hit with the spoilers curse got actually pretty depressed for a while. Marcille felt bad and decided to teach him how to create familiars, which is what he now does in his freetime. Just a bunch of Laios monster OCs which he meticulously crafts like those super detailed custom warhammer figurines. He has them move around inside a miniature dungeon

Saw this in the r/TwennyWunPilots Reddit( https://www.reddit.com/r/TwennyWunPilots/s/cg5yukIxsl)

Had to share it with Tumblr, credits obv to u/KingDias503 (https://www.reddit.com/u/KingDias503/s/8Rhs5NPeg6)

so i was fully prepared to rip into Tumblr for trying to pull its "queerest place on the internet" rainbow capitalism bullshit again this year... but it's actually feeling kind of disconcerting that it doesn't seem like they've actually done anything for Pride, as far as i can tell...

like, to be clear, this isn't me being like ";-; why Tumblr no Pride?"

it's more that Simpsons meme of "(chuckles) i'm in danger"

rainbow capitalism is a cheap and hollow marketing ploy, but companies suddenly not doing it this year - especially ones like Tumblr who have at least tried to make it a part of their brand - isn't a great sign, either.

it's like when there's no bugs in an area of nature. Sure, some of em can be annoying or even dangerous when present, but the lack of them is a much worse sign.

i feel that rainbow capitalism should mostly just be seen as the canary in the coal mine for lgbt safety, and currently that canary has stopped singing
