Yknow I don't use tumblr anymore but occasionally I think back on some things I've said on here.

I've made exclusive, blunt, rude remarks based on aggression and beliefs I outgrew, fascinated by discourse for no reason.

Since my last controversial post or topic, I've graduated high school, attended post-secondary, became an adult, voted in my first election, got my licence, stopped repressing my identities and embraced them (proud aromantic bisexual), MATURED.

I still hold to many of my beliefs, but I understand the way I went out of my way to stir a pot or devalue people's lives was rude, ignorant, blunt.

--------------

I care less about the things I was once so upset about, simply to be upset, I recognize I was shitty; honestly discourse for the sake of discourse is shitty.

I recognize people are not bad or stupid for disagreeing with me and identifying/ living their lives as they do. Not my place. I am entitled to my opinions and experience just as much as anybody else is, but I was wrong to parade mine around so indignantly.

----------------

To aros/ aces I've hurt: I'm sorry. I was repressing myself so much I didnt understand my being flippant affected those of you questioning/ sensitive to exclusive remarks. Understanding my place in the community helped me see that. Thank you.

To gender questioning/ trans people I hurt: I'm sorry I spoke over you or your experiences. It will never be my place, despite my beliefs, to insert myself into your politics.

To people who ID as pansexual I hurt: I'm sorry I ever let myself come across as hateful towards you. You are not bigoted or inherently stupid, or even looking for attention - you guys do you.

To anybody else I may have gone out of my way to tear down/ poke at sensitive places regarding identity: I know I was shitty for it. I still believe things to certain degrees, but I understand I must listen to the knowledge and experience of those around me. Hell, I even completely disagree with other things I've said in the past; I've outgrown my need to insert myself into divisionary discourse.

------------------

Sometimes being a teenager and being closed minded makes you an ass. I was insensitive to a lot of people.

Maybe some heavily opinionated kids out there reading this will be swayed by me to realise their aggressive in-your-face-agenda devalues and harms others sometimes.

Sorry I was a piece of shit in the queer community to others, indirectly, but still abrasive.

I'm still not gonna use tumblr but I wanted to get that off my chest :^)

  • Whenever Mr. Sandman gets close by, joys’ radios start playing Mr. Sandman, that old Chordettes song. No one really knows how he does it or where he got the tape, but it’s nice to have, y’know… a warning.
  • Lace cuffs and a vest aren’t part of the exterminator uniform or anything. Korse just wears them for the aesthetic.
  • If you get close enough to the edge of the zones, people say you start to hear voices on the radio. Not killjoys. Not even BLI. Of course, if you’ve walked that far, the static’s probably getting to you.
  • They say the Phoenix Witch can’t find you if you die without your mask on. But don’t worry, she knows your boots too.
  • Maybe all that will be left of you is boots and a mask. That’s okay. A mask means that you were someone. A pair of boots means that you went somewhere.
  • Don’t touch Jet Star’s hair.
  • There are those that believe in Destroya and those that don’t. Don’t waste your breath on either of them.
  • I know you’ll want to save all the kids you find on the Getaway Mile. But trust me, not everyone can survive out here, and you don’t need another mouth to feed. The Witch will find them, I promise. She knows.
  • If Fun Ghoul tells you about the story behind his name, he’s going to tell you again sometime. It’s how he shows affection.
  • Party Poison and Kobra Kid don’t like to talk about the past. Only those closest to them even know that they’re brothers. People have speculated of course, but no one’s ever brave enough to ask.
  • Dr. Death Defying got his name by making a deal with the Witch for all these extra years. No one knows what his end of the bargain was.
  • That big star is probably Jupiter, but there’s a story that says it’s really Destroya’s eye, watching and waiting.
  • Speaking of stars, there’s not much light pollution if you’re further away from the city. The Fab Four like to lay on the roof and point out constellations.
  • Kobra’s always pointing out simple shapes, like ray guns or wheels. He mostly just likes to listen to what the others see.
  • Jet points out real constellations. He probably found them in an old book somewhere, or maybe he’s just heard the stories past down. Either way, he might be the only one who can tell exactly where he is in the zones by looking at the stars.
  • Party points out really detailed and imaginative constellations, like the Action Cat or the Mother of All Wars. He comes up with the most incredible stories for them. You should listen sometime if you’ve got the chance.
  • Fun Ghoul’s never pointed out a constellation. He even sometimes has trouble seeing the patterns his friends find. Don’t think too hard on it, he wasn’t raised to be creative.

Archived stills of the 2019 terrorist take over of Better Living Industries’ sponsored broadcast. A suspect, believed to be known terrorist and killjoy [REDACTED], was quickly apprehended by police from a Battery City broadcast tower. The feed was cut to the public almost immediately after it began. Better Living Industries has yet to make a statement about the incident, and no further militant activity has occurred as a result of the attack.

the worst beauty misconception dark girls are fed is that they can’t experiment with their look

you can go as loud as you want

or keep it simple

stick to the neutrals 

or go on all out galaxy chic

go out sultry

or go out sweet

cause your skin is so versatile

image

that there’s no such thing as “the right colour”

be a goddamn mermaid if you like

 dress down

or up

go natural

image

or not

you’ll still look flawless

so go ahead and shower in gold

or do nothing at all

cause at the end of the day

you’re still a queen

You wanna talk representation? Before Tumblr, I never experimented with color, hair or makeup-wise. I’d heard too many people correlate black women and bright colors as ‘ghetto’. Posts like these are So important. So incredibly important. 

Thank you

But for real yall some goddesses

the phrase “curiosity killed the cat” is actually not the full phrase it actually is “curiosity killed the cat but satisfaction brought it back” so don’t let anyone tell you not to be a curious little baby okay go and be interested in the world uwu

Let’s not forget that “Jack of all trades, master of none” ends with “But better than a master of one.”

It means that being equally good/average at everything is much better than being perfect at one thing and sucking at everything else. So don’t worry if you’re not perfect at something you do! Being okay is better!

Also, “great minds think alike” ends with “but fools rarely differ”

It goes to show that conformity isn’t always a good thing. And that just because more than one person has the same idea, doesn’t necessarily mean it’s a good idea.

what the fuck why haven’t i heard the full version to any of these 

“Birds of a feather flock together” ends with “until the cat comes.”

It’s actually a warning about fair-weather friends, not an assessment of how complementary people are.

I’ve always felt like these were cut down on purpose.

I really like these phrases and plan on spreading this knowledge.

Funny how all the half-finished ones encourage uniformity and upholding the status-quo, while the complete proverbs encourage like…living exciting, eclectic lives driven by choice and personal passion.

This one is perfect for Tumblr: “A little knowledge is a dangerous thing…” ends with “drink deep, or taste not the Pierian spring: there shallow draughts intoxicate the brain, and drinking largely sobers us again.”

So, it’s not that knowledge is dangerous, the emphasis is on having just a little knowledge.  Having just a cursory understanding of something causes overconfidence and potential to misunderstand, but when you really delve into a subject in depth you realize the full complexity of it.

Battery City Gothic

  • There’s an apartment building on the 3rd block sector that no Draculoid will enter. It’s said that their masks don’t work there and it’s a haven for those wanting to escape. People move in all the time but the building is always empty.
  • Some say that if your headphones become damaged due to age or injury that you’ll hear a broadcast in a language that doesn’t make sense; it doesn’t sound like any company approved language taught to the masses. Sometimes people say they can understand what’s being said. Those that do stop talking and appear more living ghosts then anything else.
  • Elizabeth’s Diner on the 5th block sector is always a hot spot for exterminators and enforcers who are off duty and want to enjoy a nice meal. If you go around to the back door, without being caught, and knock three times a small slot will open. Tell whoever is inside that you ‘need reeducation’ and wait exactly three minutes. Sometimes you’ll be slid a still warm bagel from the oven and other times you’ll get a single mitten. No one knows why; if you ask the owners they’ll tell you there isn’t a back door. Sometimes they’ll prove it.
  • There’s an elevator in the BL/Ind headquarters that’s perpetually out of order; yet everyone still uses it. Occasionally those who ride it disappear. Draculoids who go up sometimes vanish and leave only their masks behind. No one talks about it.
  • It’s said that if you manage to gain access to Korse’s private room that you’ll find a small music box on his dresser. Opening it causes a strange disjointed melody to play throughout the room. Those that hear it tend to find themselves outside the city without any recollection as to how they got there or why. Sometimes they’re missing limbs or articles of clothing.
  • A Juvie Hall by the name of Ripper claims to have found a way to become invisible to all of BL/Ind’s cameras and security equipment. He promises to share it if anyone has the right currency. Those that pay before receiving it tend to wind up throw into the cemetery ditches; those that wait tend to just disappear.
  • It’s said that if you toss a piece of actual metal currency into the cemetery ditch near the crematorium that you’ll be granted one wish. Those that wish upon the dead find themselves afraid to turn around; swearing that there’s a small girl there waiting for them. That she promises to do whatever they ask granted they never see her face. Do not wish upon the dead.

Gordon Ramsay: calls people ‘darling’ and ‘sweetheart’ as it tends to be used as a friendly term in the UK and he only ever uses it in the friendly way

Gremlins: hes a mysoginist he doesn’t respect women at all :///

Gordon Ramsay: Cooks steak for a woman who was practically starving herself with a weird diet that cut out meat as she’d started working at a zoo that caused her to develop a gluten and dairy intolerance (shed only eat a baked potato or gluten free pasta with pesto and little else) who said she actually does enjoy meat but only if it was 100% organically and lovingly raised, goes through where and how the animal he’d gotten the meat from was raised with her, agrees that mass producing meat is a disgusting industry, raised two pigs himself in his back garden with love and care and cried when he had to send them to the slaughter house, calls chefs out on serving vegetarians things with meat products, is disgusted with frivolous shit like shark fin soup and any other food that involves senselelessly injuring or killing endangered animals for only a tiny bit of their meat

Gremlins: he couldn’t give a shit about vegetarians he hates them :///////

Gordon Ramsay: only screams, yells and swears at lazy, filthy, cheeky chefs who claim to be professionals with years of experience who can’t seem to follow the basic rules of hygiene/food preparation, is very gentle and encouraging with people who are still learning including children, is always ALWAYS respectful to wait staff (in the amy’s baking company episode when he learned that the owners were taking the tips of their one waiter he gave her his directly in front of them and also called them out on it in front of the customers too) and always starts off civilly until people give him shit

Gremlins: hes so over the top and verbally abusive ://///////////////////////// even top chefs can learn from their mistakes hes just a bully ://////

gordon ramsay is a good boy who did nothing wrong

I think these people need to watch clips of Kitchen Nightmares on Youtube. The people he yells at often ripping off and sometimes even nearly poisoning customers. There was one incident where bad lobster made someone so sick he had to call an Ambulance to the restaurant.

And never forget Amy’s Baking Company who was stealing tips from the waiters and waitresses

There was a hotel with the same thing going on. Dude was running it into the ground so bad giving all his friends free rooms, food, and drink and couldn’t even pay his staff and because most of his business was comped for his buddies.  He was taking from the tip jar whenever he helped on the floor on top of it. Gordan found out one group of his friends left hundreds of dollars that was supposed to be passed out to the staff as big tips and he downright pocketed it.

So basically, people who complain about Gordon Ramsey know jack shit about Gordon Ramsey
