The Bachelor: Vietnam - Contestant confesses to another contestant
They ended up getting married so safe to say she doesn’t regret it
Can we discuss how fucking cute they are tho?
What Minh Thu and Truc Nhu have, I want for myself with whatever woman I find to put up with my annoying ass.
FUCKING GOOD FOR THEM!!! 😭
Listen I know I’ve made a thousand posts about this and I’ll make a thousand more but do you remember that time when Avatar: The Last Airbender had an episode where a bunch of earthbenders took over the Northern Air Temple and their leader created a bunch of steampunk inventions allowing them all to fly around:
And the reason he did all of this was so that his son, who was in a wheelchair, could get around just like everyone else:
And all throughout the episode, you saw the son going around in the wheelchair and even though the episode came out in 2005, his disability wasn’t used as inspiration porn or tragedy porn? In fact, though he was a main character in the episode, the plotline didn’t focus on his disability at all and other than the backstory and Sokka commenting on his glider chair, nobody ever brought it up but they still managed to help him when he needed it?
And not only did Tao help fight in this episode but he came back with a completely adapted tank in order to kick ass in the penultimate battle?
Do you remember this?
Because I still remember my eleven-year-old self sitting in my wheelchair, completely and utterly taken aback by this character in a wheelchair who was practically an airbender? My twenty-two-year-old self is still blown away by the episode. I still have the old wheelchair-glider toy.
(And of course, later on, Toph would come along and be an even better example of a disabled character. And years later, Korra would as well.)
Representation is important.
Jane Fonda's 1970 mugshot after being wrongfully arrested for drug trafficking, and her 2019 arrest on Capitol Hill while protesting climate change.
Pointless LOTR headcanon of the day: Frodo & Merry both take after their mothers, meaning Frodo looks more like a Brandybuck than a Baggins and Merry looks more like a Took. This is a constant source of petty contention.
(Pippin meanwhile absolutely takes after his father & is the most Tookish looking)
Merry: call me a Took one more time
Gandalf: if it looks like a Took and acts like a Took it’s a Took
Merry: I will END you
Gandalf is the only nonhobbit in the fellowship who understands the minutiae of Took Vs Brandybuck Vs Baggins rivalry & he delights in it, everyone else baffled
Frodo: look it’s perfectly simple. The Brandybucks don’t like the Tooks because they play golf and think they’re better than everyone because they occasionally go on adventures. The Tooks don’t like the Brandybucks because they live on the wrong side of the river and like boats. And nobody likes the Bagginses because they’re annoying.
Aragorn: are you… Including yourself in that
Frodo: I said what I said.
Frodo: now the Bagginses don’t like the Brandybucks OR the Tooks because they’re highly disrepectable but also richer than they are. And as far as a lot of the Bagginses are concerned I’m a Brandybuck because I grew up in Buckland and I have the Brandybuck Profile
Merry: which just means he’s not pug-ugly
Frodo: quite.
Aragorn: this is all ridiculous. Keep going.
Gandalf: Hm now I wouldn’t say UGLY but… every Baggins I’ve ever met has been perfectly Round or perfectly Square… There is no middle ground.
Gimli, baffled: Frodo isn’t round OR square
Merry: that’s because he has the Brandybuck profile
Gimli: so… Is he a Brandybuck…
Merry: ABSOLUTE not
Frodo: slander!! I’m a Baggins how dare you
Pippin: was your father a Round Baggins or a Square Baggins
Frodo: my father… Was the ROUNDEST Baggins who ever lived… A perfect Sphere of hobbit…
frodo: my father was an absolute UNIT
Meanwhile Sam is sitting by the camp fire going: Don’t look at me, this is all gentlehobbit nonsense. My folks have sense
“young adult dystopian novels are so unrealistic lmao like they always have some random teenage girl rising up to inspire the world to make change.”
a hero emerges
And just like in the novels, grown men and women are going out of their way to destroy her. Support our hero.
And it’s not even like it doesn’t happen regularly.
Teenage girls are amazing.
Sometimes they’re not even teenagers
Reblog every time a girl is discredited/ignored
Who they are:
This isn’t a coincidence. Revolutions almost always happen when the population of a country is at its youngest and that’s a lot more true nowadays with social media.
This Pride don’t forget your brothers and sisters fighting for their rights all over the world.
isn’t that the neck tattoo guy
This guy needs to slow down 😂😂😂
THAT’S WHERE I RECOGNIZED HIM FROM
But how could you leave out this masterpiece???
I love him
yall r missing the BEST one
This is our future and I have to say they are doing amazing! This is revolutionary I also love how all colors are banding together! They are brave & doing what needs to be done ✊🏿
Literally the best post I’ve ever seen
💚 and Zahraa ~ Its actually very funny that you can associate sounds like names with colours. For me it only happens when I see/hear numbers but not with other words. If possible also 💜. Some headcanons for Draco~? (A little Slytherin love...we really aren't that bad..~)
That is interesting. I’ve never heard of just numbers before! The most common forms of synesthesia generally have to do with sound and sight, so that makes sense.
The weird thing about synesthesia is “associate” is not really the right word for it. I “see” the colors, but not in a way that blocks my vision. I see them sort of in the way that my mind kind of recalls it and gives the impression of it very vividly, almost like a quick memory, if that makes any sense.
Zahraa is a vibrant indigo. “Z” always have a darkening effect for me and the ra is quite cooling. There is something very commanding about the sound too, like you could say it as an order and people would listen. I think purple is a strong color, combining the fierceness of red with the power of blue and Zahraa sounds like just that to me.

- I fully believe after the war and everything he had to endure as a result, Draco takes a year or two for himself, away from the wizarding world
- His mother encourages it, realizing that sometimes a new start is the only way to heal
- His father is adamant against it, believing that rebuilding their family’s reputation was of utmost importance at the moment
- But Draco puts his foot down, for the first time really in his entire life
- He needs to learn what it means to be Draco, not Malfoy, and that isn’t going to happen if he continues to live surrounded by reminders of his demons
- And so one night, with a kiss for his mother and a promise to write every week so they know he is safe, Draco leaves
- What he doesn’t tell him is that his goal is to not use magic for an entire year
- He goes to Rome, Prague, New Delhi, Melbourne….
- He doesn’t have really any knowledge and relies a lot on the kindness of strangers (and a fair share of money thanks to some good gold trades) to help him navigate
- He makes some very stupid decisions, too
- But they are his stupid decisions and for that he is grateful
- But eventually he finds himself somewhere in South America, in a street in a large city, when he notices an alley with some ancient runes on the walls that he knows denote magic.
- And pretty soon he’s on a high street much like Diagon Alley, filled with children running around buying books and school clothes, cauldrons and the latest candies.
- And on seeing this world, a world he once loves, and seeing these children, all young and innocent as he once was, he finally allows himself to cry
- He cries for his family, for the dead and the lost, he cries for Harry and all he had to endure
- But most importantly he cries for himself
- Because he lost a ton too… starting with his chance to be happy, to be normal, to enjoy being a child while he had childhood still in him.
- And as sun begins to set, he takes his last big of gold and buys himself a broom and flies the long perilous journey home
ITS HAPPENING DUDES

😎😎 You can’t sit with us.
I observed a lot.
So for the cinematography, it was really well done save for the fish-eye lens crap. I really didn’t like that. But I am a sucker for panning from above. Also clever use of the camera while certain people speak. Angles can do wonders to tell a story.
I thought the plot was very easy to follow. I’ve seen people whine about it not making sense but literally, in stories about multiple people, the POV shifts. A lot. In order to understand why everyone is doing what they are doing, you need to know what is going on from their ends. So yeah, why is everybody just randomly in France of all places? Paying attention lets you find out!
I do have one really big annoyance and it’s more for it taking this long instead of it happening at all. In the original HP films there really aren’t a lot of non-white actors portraying characters, even if they’re just extras to fill in for other students and such. In this film there were extras of all kinds of nationalities. I saw a lot of Black and Asian folks just filling up the background. And I’m glad the universe now seems more realistic and diverse. It’s just annoying that the most diverse of all the films in this fictional world, is the newest one and kinda makes the others a bit disappointing since the 20s were less progressive than the 90s.
My initial opinions on certain characters did change. Naturally I hate Dumbledore as a character no matter what but he’s more interesting than before. And I don’t really like Grindels all that much but he is a badass and watching him is interesting. Theseus and Leta grew on me with such little time. I cried for both of them. I’m disappointed but not shocked or angry at Queenie’s actions. I cried for her too. Flamel creeps me out still. I like Nagini. She’s been through some tough shit and is mildly distrustful of everyone. And now she’s away from possibly her only friend(I got not romance vibes between she and Credence btw).
I liked all the story-telling. There were a lot of creatures. A lot of talking. A decent amount of action. And humor spread out here and there for some levity.
I thought it was a fine film. It was good. I’d re-watch it with the first without hesitation. I had moments where I laughed, moments where I cried, and moments where I wasn’t sure what I was feeling at all.
