getting real fed up with my peers treating teenagers like shit. how did you forget so fucking quickly what it's like to be them. shame on you.

#this is about people my age getting into internet discourse with teenagers#and calling them stupid and overall belittling them and being a jerk to them#like. literally just block them if they are being a shithead#teenagers are shitheads sometimes#youre not going to change them#they need to grow up on their own#and an adult making fun of them isnt going to help#in fact it is going to hinder the process#if you want to try to help you need to be kind#if theyre not receptive to that and are still being an asshole then it is not worth it#and you need to go do something else with your time#you are a fucking adult

Can I help you Peter

Maybe he wants more cookies?

Hi Silver Spoon. What is happening to my post.

Greetings, Ellie Lol! I think Peter's just here for more cookies. As for what is happening to your post, I couldn't say, Darling

Pleased to make your acquaintance, though. <3

The scene that plays out before you is somewhat surreal-- from the odd choice of euphemism to the grease coating the young man’s hair. But one thing sticks out above all else.

REACTION SPEED- Is that a fucking horse?

Shrek 2 + favorite pop culture references

Why does this work for this movie where it fails with most others?

Because Shrek is, at its core, a parody.

It isn’t a silly film making pop-culture references. It’s a *parody* film making a *parody* of pop-culture.

Since most of the references are pretty solidly “classic” or at the very least extremely memorable moments in cinema, over multiple decades of time, they resonate really well even with modern audiences.

It also (crucially, at least in my opinion) doesn’t kill the scene if you don’t know what’s being referenced. Puss reaching back for his hat before the door closes is still funny if you haven’t seen Indie do it. Pinocchio using his strings to lower himself carefully downwards that way is genuinely clever regardless of the Mission Impossible parody. The fact that the furniture is dancing with Fairy Godmother serves to further highlight her character and role whether or not you connect it to Beauty and the Beast. The references serve to enhance the scenes they’re in when you recognize, not to leave you behind if you don’t.

The slight grin looks like he got back from mediation and scored a more favorable custody agreement, the eyes say he wants nothing more than to have his old life back.

i dunno something about this hellsite is just very... white. like, when i think of tumblr collectively it's very white people

Like the music taste. Collectively, a lot of distaste for rap and blues and jazz. Lotta fandom racism. There's not a lot about making queer poc visible compared to all the stuff about white queers. Black have literally gotten banned for being black and being against oppressing black people.

and i know a lot of poc on here. i follow them. we interact. but that's not what im talking about. i dont know how to explain further. cope.

ive been talking about the beef without tags and without touching tags related to it bc i know its bad. i just.

with the amount of "YAY DIVERSITY" type shit i see on here, i'd think it would be ok but this literally proves otherwise.

it's the same as saying "support people with mental illnesses and disabilities" until a disabled/mentally ill person cant brush theyre teeth or shower or clean without major struggle.

in this case it's "yay racial diversity! blm! racism should die!" until black people do something other than stand there and be black.

i love the fact that im getting notes on a bunch of other stuff but like, nothing on this post.

another thing that was brought to my attention, this site pressures us to act white. like i know we've all said you cant act like a race. but you can. you can.

acting black would be engaging in my interests without being told "rap music is so violent how can you be okay with that?". It would be naming specific albums that are a product of their time and the artist's maturity and mindset at that time

acting black would be using the same slang i do irl, but on here that's 'tiktok language' which is bad bc on here, tiktok is evil. but that slang is really just aave that has been taken and made mainstream.

acting black would be talking about my hair. or talking about my skin changing color for the summer, or discussing any of my black features

acting black would be lamenting about the side-eye i got from a white lady on the street and knowing it's because of my skin. or sharing my experiences with sexism so far and actually having people truly relate to it. because misogyny toward black women is different than misogyny toward white women. and im not even a woman, im still a girl.

acting black would be actually embracing my blackness on tumblr the same way i embrace it offline. that's what acting black is.

no actually thank you for this. you get it.

[image id 1: a screenshot of tags reading "#god yeah #the whole kendrick beef just surfaced how the white userbase REALLY is #i've been distancing from tumblr rn because of it. it's just so uncomfortable." end id]

[image id 2: another screenshot of tags, this time reading: '#this post reminds me of the idea of a "good cop" #"well I'm not racist like those other ppl" matter that doesn't fucking #what does matter is that those other people are racist in the first place and that you aren't actively fighting against them #anyways sorry for the ACAB tangent I thought it was relevant #I was gonna take this somewhere but I forgor #anyways support your POC friends #especially if you're queer #POC paved the way for stonewall with the civil rights movement and queer POC threw the first bricks #you owe them your support (also it's just like the normal and human thing to do???) #also AJ please do post about those things #nothing gets normalized without talking about it #(and as a white person who has like 3 black friends I do actually want to hear about that stuff)." end id]

At the annual Houston RenFest we’d always get one or two furries that walk around and every time the general reaction from the medieval roleplayers is akin to  “BEASTS? BEASTS THAT WALK LIKE MAN? FOUL!” 

Last time I went a furry volunteered for an impromptu conversion/exorcism and a guy dressed as a monk gathered a bunch of people and using a Gatorade bottle performed an entire catholic christening while reading off the instructions on his Ipad. When the furry was fully “converted” he removed the head of his costume and everyone in the crowd pretended to freak out and say shit like “GlORY BE HE IS SAVED” “CHRIST HAS BROKEN HIS CURSE”

That’s the best crap i’ve heard in months

have I mentioned that i’m fucking in love with humankind

Hey I keep thinking about this question.

For further elaboration; you will be perfectly healthy without it, and face no complications relating specifically to that thing. You can still get exhausted from physical work and need to sit down and rest, but you won't have to be completely unconscious to recover. Likewise, your nutrients will stay balanced and you stay at your current weight, but you won't need any food. You can drink if you want, but its not needed if you don't eat.

And you absolutely CANNOT do what you choose ever again. no enjoying good food or enjoying a comfortable nap. Make your choice.

Reblog if you want it will be appreciated 👍

characters have to be a little bit awful in ways that you cant defend. its good for the ecosystem. your honor he did do that. He did in fact do that

my favorite celebrity non-controversy was when lorde wanted to express her love of baths so she posted a picture of her bathtub captioned “and iiiiiiiiiii will always love youuuuu” not realizing that whitney houston died in a bathtub

like oh my god. it’s such a non issue but it’s so so funny

this is the type of thing my anxiety thinks is gonna happen every single time I say something

shoutout to everyone who wants to infodump but cant string together coherent thoughts to form sentences and instead just look at you like this

Okay here's my obligatory post about Tumblr users and their ignorance of rap, as a (white) fan of rap:

Saying "Not all rap music is about violence, here are alternatives" is not helpful, because the violent music ALSO has meaning.

When Biggie Smalls postures about his gang connections and packing heat, he isn't doing it because wow violence is so edgy, it's a powerful statement. Youth in urban areas where gang activity is heavy are often treated as lesser than by default, especially compared to black people the same age from a wealthy background. There's a reason that the "wholesome and respectable" black-lead entertainment of that era was stuff like the Cosby Show, with doctor-lawyer parents, or Family Matters, with a cop dad. There's a reason why the big joke of Fresh Prince is someone with a more unstable upbringing moving in with one of these model black sitcom families.

Standing up and saying yeah, I came from the mean streets, I was molded by this violence and yes, I did what I had to do to survive in a world that refuses to acknowledge my existence as meaningful or worthy of protection. I protected myself, I made my own way, and fuck anybody who tries to stand in the way of that.

Refusing to demonize that environment and wearing it like armor in a way that protects from the authority that wants you to see them as sub humans incapable of only violence and hatred, and saying HEY. I'm here, I lived this, and there is love and there is pain and there is ART in this.

That is powerful. That is the essence of gangster rap.

It isn't about hurting people for fun, it's about holding a mirror up to a society that does the hurting and then calls you a monster for what it's made you. Its about validating the experiences of the disenfranchised and biting back at authority. It's about turning a pain that the world say you deserve being one of those people from those places into POETRY. Into ART.

And thats why it matters.

And thats why you need to shut the yell up and stop dismissing it as violence without substance when you all sat on your ass listening to songs about Hatsune Miku eating people in middle school.

This is why I get so tired about “whose a real women” and “are transgender people real” and the like because it’s so irrelevant. We have group or people that have an insane suicide rate and we have a solution that reduces that by an insane amount.

No matter how you slice it no theoretical reason nor gender rhetoric can change the gender affirming care is improving more lives than it’ll ever hurt

i think this belongs here too

all the statistics are massively in favor of gender affirming care no matter how you slice it.

Adding to that last one bc that statistic made me feel nervous post top surgery- post surgical depression is an extremely common response to ALL SURGERY. You feeling really bad in the weeks after gender affirming care does NOT mean you made a mistake or even that you're part of the regret statistic. Those knee surgery and back surgery folks also got it too!!

If you're fifteen or older an still sleep with a stuffed animal please reblog this.
