The fact that both of zukos abusers used lightning against zuko and instead of learning to use lightning himself like he could have he learned how to redirect the lightning and let it pass through him and then straight clean out of him… Do you ever think about how that is literally physically representing how instead of absorbing his father and sisters abuse he lets it pass through him and instead of soaking it in and letting it destroy him he redirects it away from himself… I just want some peace in my life

Never forget that without proper guidance from a figure in his life who cared enough to see that Zuko needed help to let go of his turmoil…Zuko would never have learned how to do this. Never forget that you don’t have to do these things on your own.

honestly i would like to make a magical girl show where the transformation sequences are all the cute girls’ skin ripping open and they’re just FUCKING WEREWOLVES

In 2017, the year of our lord, I never would have thought a quote from The L Word would be over Star Wars stills but here we are

The thing about Discworld, you see, is that it’s a very hopeful form of cynicism. It doesn’t just tell you that the world is crap, it says, well, yes, of course the world is crap, but that’s why you should be hopeful, and helpful, and kind, and why you have to be good, because maybe you can make it a little less crap.

you mean, skin?

What an absolutely terrifying addition to my post. Thank you.

Happy trans day of visibility! They/them! I am an agender, autistic writer with a degenerative spinal condition and I have written six books about queer, autistic people of color you can buy on my etsy! Please reblog so I can make my rent this month! https://www.etsy.com/shop/PangeaMea

scar’s brother was ultra hot and im so mad he is dead

I JUST REALIZED THAT I SHOULD CLARIFY THAT I AM WATCHING FMA: BROTHERHOOD AND I AM NOT IN FACT LUSTING AFTER MUFASA, SCAR’S DEAD BROTHER IN THE LION KING

It’s not consent unless there is a choice. A ‘yes’ doesn’t mean anything unless saying ‘no’ is a safe and comfortable option available.

Fuck. This is literally the best commentary on consent I’ve ever seen.

This is worth sharing.

*********************

Hey guys, my name is Ducky - you can call me any variant of that as you please (ducks, ducko whatever your heart desires lmao). I am a 23 year old trans male with a few things I would like to ~get off my chest~ ayyyye *finger guns*.

I guess it’s time to get real and explain why top surgery is so important to me and my mental health. I have very strong overpowering memories of the first times I would bind as a child and for those unfamiliar with the term, binding is a practice pretty common among trans masculine folks who flatten their chests to alleviate some of the dysphoria they have centered around that part of their bodies. For a very long time my chest has severely affected how comfortable I am leaving the house. Looking in the mirror and always seeing something that feels so foreign and alien to me causes me an immense amount of anxiety that only binding alleviates.

Binding for long periods of time however can have a very negative impact on your lungs and ribs, and I find myself always in the balance of not being able to take a deep breath because I’m not at peace with my body and not being able to take one because my binder is preventing me. This is a surgery I need and I am hoping that with your help it might happen for me. I opened this fundraiser to accept help for something I will not be able to manage on my own, and once I am on the other side of this hurdle I can’t wait to spend my time and energy on how to make this a reality for other trans guys out there. I can’t thank you enough for giving me your time, thank you for all of your love and support it has always meant the world to me, I consider y'all internet fam to me.

Love always,

Duck 🦆❤️

did anybody else grow up bein that one friend who was in the group but not really IN the group??? like your friends would go places and throw parties and not invite u n stuff????? idk that really fucked up my self esteem hbu

Nadia Myre, Indian Act

Indian Act speaks of the realities of colonization - the effects of contact, and its often-broken and untranslated contracts. The piece consists of all 56 pages of the Canadian Federal Government’s Indian Act mounted on stroud cloth and sewn over with red and white glass beads. Each word is replaced with white beads sewn into the document; the red beads replace the negative space.

Every time I see this it gives me chills.

So impactful and creative. It must’ve taken forever.

This is honestly one of my favorite concepts/collections. I think about it every now and again, and it’s always so striking.

If you ever tagged me to do one of those tag game thingies and I never did it:

1) Thank you, seriously. Those are fun and being included shows that my followers care enough to want to learn more about me.

2) Very sorry about that, it’s extremely likely that I said to myself “Cool! But I’m busy at the moment, I’ll have to do this later today or tomorrow” before proceeding to just straight-up forget, now it’s too far back in my notifications and/or your blog to find again.

no offense but im going to get better and im taking all of you up with me

literally me
