anyways hiruzen was a dumb ugly insensitive inconsiderate fuckin bitch for not allowing anyone who knew naruto’s parents around him during his growth. like it literally impacted his development so much – he didn’t even get a caretaker or anything? he just grew up by himself with the entire village shunning him for a reason he didn’t know and he just had to deal with it. and we can assume that hiruzen was one of the only people that naruto could come to, as he KNEW what happened the day of his birth and saw naruto regularly to give him his monthly allowance from a young age plus he didn’t seem to shun him like the rest. but because of the detached treatment he gave naruto, NARUTO DIDN’T FEEL LIKE HE COULD GO TO HIM ANYWAYS AND FOUND COMFORT IN A FUCKING RAMEN VENDOR, IM SO FUCKING MAD. IN THIS MOTHERFUCKING ESSAY, I WILL
found family is a good (gay) trope but tbh i’m wary of it these days bc i feel like it’s reached a critical mass of people weaponising found family as a concept as a foil for implying gay sexual and/or romantic content between characters (who are absolutely not related by blood/marriage/bond/etc in the source material) is predatory or incestual or w/e, and getting away with it because they’re not explicitly being homophobic in an easy to read, easily identified fashion.
just say X/Y is your notp and you prefer them in gen/as friends, easy done. there’s no reason to go full maude flanders and weep about the sanctity of male friendship and/or create from whole cloth increasingly bananas incestual interpretations as the nuclear option of wiping out gay interpretations, you feel me? relax. let it go. use a tag blocker if a non-found family character combo really wiggles your jello, ‘cause ultimately the only person who can moderate your own experience is you.
(but also i guess maybe indulge in some introspection as to why ‘actually i think they’re brothers’ is the automatic fallback to shut down gay interpretations or why people feel such a burning need to wig out about how X/Y is so bad and unwholesome without ever getting to the heart of the matter (ie 'i don’t like it because i just don’t like it’) but, hey, one step at a time)
ok. you’re takashi shirogane. you’ve been a clone for several months and also simultaneously living inside the consciousness of a black lion where your only interaction was a feeble attempt to reach your best friend before said best friend literally disappears from all of your lives. he comes back and he’s two years older and fucking hot as hell. abs? pecs? hot mom? you are screwed. you get brainwashed. boy takes on a fleet of cruisers and then follows you into literal death, fights you, gets permanently scarred, saves your life somehow anyway.
so you wake up and he’s there. he’s like. your rock. your everything. you fall asleep on him and when you wake up again it’s to his voice begging you not to die. he leans down, pauses, and then presses his face into your neck for a hug. you’re internally dying. this is so much. you’ve come back from death maybe four times now all thanks to this suddenly hot as fuck funky alien boy and then you get stuck in the lion whose consciousness you possessed along with his mother and the team’s collective father figure.
shiro spends one night bunking with keith while krolia and coran sleep one bed over and dies all over again.
anyway obviously there just was more room in the green lion’s cargo bay.
just once I want to see a good post critiquing makeup culture that doesn’t turn out to be made by some janky radfem blog
oh hey!! I’m not a janky radfem I can do it myself!
makeup culture is wack and normalizes a ludicrously high bar as the bare minimum women can do. I saw a “lazy"makeup tutorial the other day that listed 22 separate goddamn products. you’re supposed to buy and know how to use 22 different things on your face just for the privilege of being considered lazy and that’s uuuuuuh what’s the word? bullshit.
Really, five products could work, even 3. Just frame the face, eyes, lips, and you’re done.
0 products also works great
because I’m gonna be real here, the idea that 22 products is a minimum sucks but it’s really upsetting that any amount of makeup is the bare minimum at all
I would really just suggest some powder foundation, concealer, mascara and lipgloss/lipstick, or tbh just mascara works too, but that’s up to you
I’m sorry if I didn’t express this clearly enough in the original post but I’m not really looking for more concise makeup regiments. my intention was to point out how it’s Bad that makeup is considered a bare minimum at all, regardless of individual feelings on the matter
no face should be “required” to have “a minimum” of makeup. makeup has no health benefits and does nothing but fill the pockets of companies that prey on women and our insecurities.
makeup should not be seen as hygiene because it isnt. get that shit out of your head.
this post: makeup culture is ridiculous and 22 products should not be considered a minimum requirement for someones face. no one should have to do that
the notes: so like……. what youre saying is……. we need to make the minimum about 5 or 6 instead… i gotcha
Really the only makeup you need is eyeliner but that’s just my personal opinion
Milo is my only sister and was 21 years old. They would have been 22 in April. Milo was an amazing, wonderful, and kind-hearted person who always did their best to be strong and stubborn. They proved that over the last 48 hours.
On October 11, 2018, approximately at 7:08 AM EST, Milo was struck by a car while crossing the street at a crosswalk to catch the bus that would take them downtown. Milo was an animation student at CCAD and was catching the bus to get to class.
Due to the accident, they sustained 3 fractures to their skull, both of their hips were broken, one of their legs was broken, their face was fractured, and also suffered from a fractured neck and spinal cord injury. Milo was expected to not make it past 3 PM on October 11 but managed to hang on until this morning.
Unfortunately, Milo passed away on October 12 and I am getting to why I am here asking for your help. My family did not have life insurance for Milo and my mother has myriad of health problems on top of now dealing with the death of her child. My mother desperately wishes to bury Milo with my grandparents and my uncle but to do this we need money so we may proceed with Milo’s funeral arrangements.
I know the asking price is very steep but any donation is better than what we have which is nothing at the current moment. The police are doing a full investigation and we do not know of what kind of insurance the driver had and if they will be able to cover these costs. We do know we need money up front and soon so we may put my sister to rest.
If you can only even donate a dollar it is better than the nothing we have right now.
If Milo reaches their goal of 7,000 dollars and goes over, I will donate any remainder to the local animal shelter in Milo’s name. We have two beautiful cats Milo loved very deeply and Milo cared so much for animals, I know that is something they would have liked.
The past 48 hours have been extremely hard on my family and I am doing all that I can do to help ease my mother’s pain so she does not have to worry about the costs of burying her child. If you can assist in any way, I appreciate you.
