Thinking on it, Loki should really have just dropped the whole Asgard thing and moved to Greece to hang with the Olympians
Like, Loki’s worst bits of mischief, up to and including murder, is just Zeus’ casual Tuesday. Plus everyone is always busy either fucking with someone if not actually fucking them. There’s a god of drinking and theatre (professional artful lying, holy shit). Also a god of chilling in the woods and banging nymphs and/or lonely shepherds (ideal). Two love/beauty/lust deities (doubly ideal, good on Mama Aphrodite and Son Eros, great family tradition). No prophesy of an apocalyptic showdown to look forward to–or any kind of narrative to bind the gods, period (Fuck Yes). The local mortals are all nerds in togas or oiled up muscle men (c:). Balmy weather, access to spices (C:).
Honestly, it’d just be
Zeus: What convinces you, god from the north, that you have a place here among my family? Among the gods of sky and sea and earth, the gods who are all the power and inspiration of the world? What right have you, foreign trickster, to the gates of Olympus?
Loki: Oh, is this the job interview? Damn, and here I am without my power suit. Let me change real quick
Loki, naked: So my work history is,
Zeus, naked: Hera, have someone clear out the guest room
if that sewer clown makes himself an image of your worst fear before he eats you, i could kick his ass. what’s he gonna do turn into the physical manifestation of being abandoned by your closest friends? gonna turn into an ooky spooky visual representation of catastrophic failure and loss? jokes on you dumbass the only thing im afraid of is myself
This is an actual plot point in the book though as I recall, he doesn’t like hunting adults usually because hes a) a cowardly parasite and b) Children have very tangible fears that can be easily manifested physically while adults generally have quite abstract or conceptual fears about the future, or events, or feelings.
pennywise aint shit
Abstract fears have reached the youngins these days, pussywise gonna starve
Actually, on the subject of age, let me throw a quick little PSA your way. Kids don’t lie to adults about your age on the internet. Please. Let adults live in their comfort zones. I know we often hear it the other way around, which is also not okay, but last night I found out a girl I’d been speaking to who said she was mid twenties was actually sixteen. It just… it makes me feel uncomfortable. Please respect adults and what they want. Please don’t lie so that you can engage with them. It’s not cool. That’s all. Thanks.
it’s your life, and if you don’t feel comfortable with your age when someone ASKS you, you’re allowed to lie, you could either A - not feel your age. B - be scared of being taken advantage of because of it (hello! pedophilies, abusers, don’t ever think all adults are angels, because it’s far from the truth) or even C - being afraid of being judged.or even worse, isolated,
many can feel their not taken seriously for being “too young” to understand things, when wisdom doesn’t come with age, it comes with life, E X P E R I E N C E. There’s many people i know whom are more than 10 years older than me, and their a complete and utter embarrasment. blame the amount of judgemental beings in the world before you go on about lying.
even so, Make sure you know the person before engaging in subjects like your age, share it only if you feel you can trust them, that’d be better than having to lie.
If you don’t feel comfortable disclosing your age when someone asks you, at least let them know whether or not you’re a minor.
If you don’t feel comfortable disclosing that you’re a minor, then politely end the conversation and find some new friends.
Yes, adults ARE going to treat children and teenagers differently, because we don’t want to risk hurting them by having inappropriate interactions.
And even if YOU feel completely comfortable and safe in an arrangement where an adult is misled to believe you are ALSO an adult, please keep in mind that if the police somehow get involved?
You are not the one who is going to be punished for it.
Children & teens, if you really care about the adult friends you make online, that alone should be enough reason to be honest about whether or not you’re a minor. You’re worried about feeling shut out, we’re worried about going to prison.
FWIW, being honest about your age is also a good litmus test to discern whether or not you’re dealing with a pedophile! If you reveal that you’re a minor and they continue to act flirty and inappropriate with you, cut them off. Seriously, CUT THEM OFF.
what she means: josh from until dawn is literally the victim in every possible way, his “friends” basically directly kill both of his sisters, he got misdiagnosed, given the wrong medication for like eight years (he was prescribed antidepressants which didnt help w his hallucinations, since theyre, yknow, hallucinations, and antidepressants arent antipsychotics), he legitimately thought he was just playing a prank on his friends and never directly causes anyone’s death in the entire game, he literally just deserves proper treatment and medication but instead his psychiatrists refused to diagnose him properly and honestly directly caused his death
why are there so many antis in the v0ltron fandom ;laksj;dflas i just want to ship my ships in damn peace
honestly, though.
A perfect storm of circumstances working together, mostly:
anti-shipping was already posing itself as against ‘pedophilia’, defining pedophilia as ‘adult/teen ships’ (erer1 for example) or ‘ships with age gaps i don’t like’.
kl@nce, the juggernaut ship of the fandom, shares a character with she1th, which while having a much smaller fanbase was nonetheless teased and joked about by the VLD staff. ‘ship war’ was written all over this.
shiro was clearly a bit older than the other paladins from the start, and had the nominal leader position. younger fans in general and kl@nce fans in particular, more inclined to interpret keith as sharing Lance’s maturity level, saw shiro as far too mature for keith.
The video recorded at SDCC 2016 of the creators verifying that Shiro is in his 20′s (’an adult’), Pidge is a young teen, and K/H/L are all late teens (but ’not adults’) was like dropping a spark on a powder keg. ‘she1th is pedophilia’ - because shiro is an adult, keith is not an adult, and dating over the 18-year-old dateline is ‘pedophilia’ - has been the primary war cry of antis for over a year now.
in short: anti-shipping moral standards feed directly into putting down the main rival ship (she1th) of the juggernaut ship (kl@nce), and was directly embraced by an unusually large portion of fandom like a security blanket. things just snowballed from there. decency never had a hope of survival.
(There are antis that don’t ship kl@nce, of course, but the vast majority of VLD antis do and pro-kl@nce antis dictate the course of anti-shipping in VLD fandom space.
also there’s nothing wrong with being uncomfortable with a ship for any reason at all. it’s when you set out to make a hostile environment for shippers, harass them, and suicide bait them that there’s a problem.)
Because Aquarius are so detached, their emotions often take them by surprise. They usually have no idea where their emotions come from and are unsure how to control their emotions once they surface. What Aquarius needs to learn is that their emotions have been there the whole time, just because they chose to bury their emotions does not mean they do not exist.
u know what’s wrong with tumblr now?? too many kids who weren’t here for glee. y'all have no idea. none of u understand the suffering we went through. the hell. the endless war. u come in here and u try to start The Discourse but u dont get that we already made these mistakes. we already had the discourse and its done now. its over. its all over and u should let it stay dead but u wont and that’s why we all hate u
I’ve seen a couple of posts like this directed at men but none for white people so I’m going to make one
if you’re talking to a person of colour, about anything but especially about something personal or something regarding race in any way, you need to be asking yourself: “am I making them uncomfortable? do they want to be talking about this, here, now, and with me? am I being voyeuristic? am I being invasive? am I demanding information that they’re not volunteering? am I asking them to dredge up things they don’t want to dredge up?
am I asking them to perform emotional or intellectual labour for me (aka confessing things to them that might cause them emotional hurt & giving them the responsibility of absolving or forgiving me, or asking them to do my thinking for me or to be my personal moral compass, respectively)? would I ask this question of a white person? am I invading their personal space, emotionally or physically? am I disrespecting their boundaries? am I making it awkward or impossible for them to change the subject / end the conversation / leave the room? am I doing a good job of policing myself in this interaction so that they don’t have to?”
edit: white people in the notes have reacted to this as if it is an impossible litany of questions or an unreasonable gauntlet to run or something that would make interacting with people of colour untenable and unduly stressful. if you find yourself thinking this way, ask yourself why it is so hard to gather the central thread of all of this, namely “am I respecting the full humanity of the person I’m speaking to rather than treating them as an emotionless curiosity or thinking of them only in terms of their benefit to me?” ask yourself why being deliberate about treating people of colour like human beings would strain your relationships and conversations with them. understand that all of this is based on historical relationships of people of colour to whiteness as a structure and on personal experience, and is in no way arbitrary or frivolous.
y’know, now that homestuck is relevant again, i think we as a fandom can really take things we’ve learned in the past few years and put them to use in the context of old issues from back in the day. i think there’s a lot of important concepts and ideas that come from newer fandoms that can solve age-old debates about aspects of homestuck.
what i’m saying here is that john egbert’s voice definitely sounds like griffin mcelroy
white girls who love black dick but don’t speak on racial issues, fetishize mixed babies, and only date black men for attention are fucking disgusting
White girls who date black men while talking shit about black women and thinking it’s a fucking competition while stealing our hairstyles, looks and style are fucking disgusting
!!!!!!!!!!!
REBLOGGING for a 2nd time to say if you aint BLACK or DON’T have a drop of black in you YOU CAN NOT SAY NIGGA I dont give a fuh IF YOUR BESTIE BLACK HEUAX
ever think about how the 100 years on the starblaster probably just destroyed all seven of their conceptions of what is socially appropriate with friends? and when thb end up working together they’re all pleasantly surprised to find that the others are fine with having all their shit in each other’s spaces. taako likes to drip dry in the nude? sure, whatever. merle has multiple ass tattoos? yeah, cool. magnus wants to know if merle will shave his back for him. merle is happy to help a friend. (it’s less noticeable with lucretia because she keeps people at arms length, but still. killian and carey are in considerable awe of the fact that they once pantsed avi in front of her on accident and lucretia didn’t even blink.)
kravitz is ready for it to be really awkward when taako tells his friends that they’re dating. you know, because of the whole “trying to kill them a bunch of times” thing. it would be understandable
what he was not prepared for is for magnus and merle to immediately be just like Way too comfortable with him as soon as they’ve confirmed he’s not trying to kill taako. he had assumed that it was just taako who had no boundaries but no, it’s also his friends. kravitz is a part of their group now and has also seen merle’s entire ass. he would like to be slightly less part of the group, please,,
