and you haven’t done anything to fight for net neutrality, now is the time! We only have 5 days left to stop the government and the FFC. Please call and email people or else blogs like mine and many more will dissapear… Applying for jobs will be harder… Schools and libraries will be at harm… Globalization will be compromised in general, so please take the time to do something.
real quick before I go to bed, why is it that that one time Lance vaguely mentioned not feeling like he had a place in the team you all blew up and made that his entire character but when Keith literally tried to kill himself via flaming sun because he felt like the team didn’t need him and his life wasn’t worth as much as getting the mission done you all decided he’s either “irresponsible” or just plain invisible?
Nobody even tried to stop him from leaving.
His biggest fear is rejection.
His found family let him walk out the door with one (1) sappy hug, mere moments after ragging on him.
But god forbid the spotlight ever leave Lance “I was sad once” McClain.

antis when they ship it: you don’t suddenly become mature at 18! of course it’s okay for this 18 year old to date this under 18 year old!
antis when they do not ship it: why would an 18 year old, a LEGAL ADULT, ever want to date someone under 18?? this is illegal. get ready for the storm buddy, cause im calling the actual police right to your doorstep.
A - Ships that you currently like a lot. (They don’t have to be OTPs because not everyone has OTPs.) Friendships, pairings, threesomes, etc. are allowed.
B - A pairing–platonic, romantic or sexual–that you initially didn’t consider, but someone changed your mind.
C - A ship you have never liked and probably never will.
D - A pairing you wish you liked but just can’t.
E - Have you added anything cracky/hilarious to your fandom? If so, what?
F - What’s the longest you’ve ever been in a fandom?
G - Have you ever had an OTP? If so, do you remember your first one? Who was in it?
H - What is your favorite source text for fandom stuff (e.g., TV shows, movies, books, anime, Western animation, etc.)?
I - Has Tumblr caused you to stop liking any fandoms, if so, which and why?
J - Name a fandom you didn’t think about until you saw it all over Tumblr. (You don’t have to care about it or follow it; it just has to be something that Tumblr made you aware of.)
K - What character has your favorite development arc/the best development arc?
L - Say something genuinely nice about a character who isn’t one of your faves. (Characters you’re neutral about are fair game, as are characters you merely dislike. Characters that you absolutely loathe with the fire of ten thousand suns are exempt, as there is no point in giving yourself an aneurysm over a character that you hate.)
M - Name a character that you’d like to have for a friend.
N - Name three things you wish you saw more or in your main fandom (or a fandom of choice).
O - Choose a song at random. Which ship or character does it remind you of?
P - Invent a random AU for any fandom (we always need more ideas).
Q - A fandom you’ve abandoned and why.
R - Which friendship/platonic relationship is your favorite in fandom?
S - Show us an example of your personal headcanon (prompts optional but encouraged)
T - Do you have any hard and fast headcanons that you will die defending?
U - Three favorite characters from three different fandoms, and why they’re your favorites.
V - Which character do you relate to most?
W - A trope which you are virtually certain to hate in any fandom.
X - A trope which you are almost certain to love in any fandom.
Y - What are your secondhand fandoms (i.e., fandoms you aren’t in personally but are tangentially familiar with because your friends/people on your dash are in them)?
Z - Just ramble about something fan-related, go go go! (Prompts optional but encouraged.)
i just saw someone equate people not liking alluras treatment of keith post-galra descent reveal to the Not All Men movement (aka Not All Galra) and i just
its not that simple guys
like first let me get it out that while i think alluras actions were wrong, and in the show itself the issue was resolved by her changing her thinking, i completely understand the emotional journey shed have to go through to essentially have her ‘side’ in the war, her safe space, invaded by what shes cleanly considered the enemy up til now
but the comparison just doesnt work!
has it not been established that telling people of mixed ethnicity that theyre ‘basically white’ or equating them with whiteness is a Bad Thing to do when they themselves may be on the receiving side of oppression and aggressions from white people? sure, keith hasnt grown up suffering galra-specific oppression, but he is in danger from them, and hes treated just like any other non-galra fighting against the empire- hes not given any kind of advantage due to his heritage. hes not in the oppressor group.
and, of course, the fact that he had no knowledge of his galran blood takes him out of this comparison entirely! he hasnt grown up in an environment where the galrans actions are normalized, where he could have pick up even subconscious racism; hes hasnt grown up in an environment where the galra empire exists at all!
if were going with the original comparison, keith (/those criticising alluras actions) isnt a man telling women ‘not all men!’, hes a non-man living his entire life with no knowledge of men and not believing he is a man and then suddenly being told that he is a man, and that he’s ‘just like all men’ and being expected to act like a group of people that up til now, hes felt nothing but unsafe or hatred around.
its not black or white- allura has an understandable negative emotional reaction that is hurtful and inaccurate and works through her issues and realizes that keith has nothing to do with the empire that murdered her people.
