The amount of times I could have been that white girl in the horror movie could honestly be a movie in itself and it’s honestly a waste that my entire life isn’t constantly recorded on film because it would be HILARIOUS
1. That one time I decided to see what was past the old gate in the woods, but when got there it had been smashed in half and there was a decapitated sheep head with no skin just off the trail, so instead I just turned around and went home.
2. That time some friends and I went camping and we found a pile of bones wrapped in a garbage bag buried under a log, but the adult supervisor told us it was nothing, so we just put it back and didn’t talk about it again.
3. The time I was getting chased through the woods at night and I realized “wait it’s dark as fuck” so I just held still until the guy gave up and left.
4. The time this dude said he was in love with me and so he was going to cut my head off and dump my body in a lake, so I told him to grow the hell up, but then he got caught stealing girl’s underwear a day later and I never saw him again
5. That one time in college where I was taking a shortcut on my home at night and a car followed me into a dark alley, so I stared directly into the driver’s side of the window and walked towards it to psych them out
6. The night I was out on a walk and this old guy told me he’d locked his keys in his truck and that he needed someone my size to crawl in through the back window for him, so I told him “you know that sounds super suspicious right” and told him where to find a pay phone for a tow truck instead
7. The one time this random guy on the street said he was in love with me and so he was going to follow me home on my bus, so I clapped him on the shoulder and told him that if he got that close to my bus then I was going to throw him under the wheels, but then this really nice homeless man from Nigeria told the guy to fuck off and then checked to make sure he didn’t follow me onboard
8. That big cat with yellow eyes who I found in a well and brought home who used to put rotting meat in my closet and wake me up by chewing on my face, until I put him back outside and never saw him again.
9. My one cousin who used to come over for the summer who kept calling me ‘piñata’ and hitting me with sticks, until he went back home and was sent to juvie cause he finally got caught torturing animals
10. The time I got lost on the way to a meeting and wound up at a circus tent instead, and got followed by a full-out clown for three vacant street blocks
11. The pet hamster I had when I was seven who would scream all night and eventually escaped by ripping a bar out of its cage and wiggling through the hole. My mom caught it and put it back but it lived another year and a half until one night the screaming just stopped
12. The time I was whistling in the woods and something started whistling back, so I went home
13. That one night at summer camp where a group of girls got together to play ‘bloody mary’ in the lavatory and invited me to come with them so I said “no thanks” and stayed with the camp councillors and drank soup instead.
14. The old abandoned house I just moved into with the door that leads into a big empty room full of dirt and empty cooking pots that I just sort of… locked up forever and never go near
15. Once when I was at an ihop I saw a coffee mug do a full 360º spin with nobody touching it, so I said ‘that was neat’ and never ate there again
16. The time I took a photo of a big old raven sitting on the crucifix on top of the old town church cause it was the most goth thing I’d ever seen, right? But then it swooped down towards me, so I apologized immediately for being rude, and I felt a little silly for a while but the car that hit me on the way home didn’t even leave a bruise so idk be nice to birds
Sorry I know I bring this shit up a lot but sometimes im awake at night and I just. keep thinking
I think the secret to survival is to be good to animals, stay away from men, and say “no thanks” to everything else
It’s getting annoying that people are missing out on some very obvious shit on why comparing AT (and other CN shows with rep) to VLD in terms of rep and that isn’t on equal fighting ground at all and just being real harsh about it without a real need for it (but what we WON’T DO is fight over there being a notable amount of positive wlw rep recently and not as much mlm because they deserve it and are often secondary in being regarded by anyone to mlm and it’s still an accomplishment regardless). Under a readmore for the sake of your dashes and it’ll be tagged “long post on mobile” for those who blacklist it on the app
that gifset made me think but ‘are we really even friends’ would actually be something keith thinks considering he spend last 2+ years with krolia and before that with BoM with minimal contact with the team like?
or do yall consider people you havent talked with for more than 2 years your friends? Jus saying
Tbh, I understood where Keith was coming from, too??
It’s not even just the time spent apart. The writers didn’t really do a good job making me believe that the Paladins were super close. Yes, they’d fight and sacrifice for each other in battle; that’s how a combat unit survives. Yes, they’ve had some fun times together.
But there are some hallmarks of really close friendships - the kinds that easily endure years of absence - that the Paladins just never hit in my eyes. (At least, not all of the Paladins together. Maybe subgroups.) Really tight friends know your quirks. They know how you tend to think, because you’ve been together through some shit and have had some deep, personal conversations. They can’t read your mind, but they can guess your motives to their general neighborhood and proceed from there.
Pretty much all of the paladins other than Shiro have repeatedly mischaracterized and wildly misinterpreted Keith’s motives. After spending months, if not years, together on this mission, they still don’t seem to know how he ticks. Keith can be withdrawn, yeah, but you’d think there would have been more progress after so long. It makes sense Keith would characterize their relationship as “just a bunch of people thrown together by coincidence” when he’s so often misunderstood.
Good friends also recognize when they’ve gone too far and apologize or - if this is difficult for them - at least express guilt or try to make up for the error. This is another thing that just never seems to happen, particularly where Keith is concerned. The VLD writers have a habit of creating these interpersonal conflicts (good) and then never really resolving them (bad). Lance, in particular, often accuses Keith of selfishness or cowardice, and I can’t remember a single instance of him ever apologizing or even showing remorse. Yeah, you can let some stuff go as “water under the bridge”, but how much?
I dunno. It’s terrible, but I kind of anxious-laughed at Keith’s “Are we even friends?” line, because I felt it was skirting uncomfortably close to the truth. I think the writers meant for the Paladins to have a deep, familial, platonically intimate bond, but that’s not something I think they executed on successfully. I don’t know if it was because of outside sources demanding more robot fights and fewer conversations or what, but for me, a lot of the Paladins’ friendship has been all tell, no show.
Because when Keith demanded to know if they were really even friends, I didn’t think he was entirely wrong to do so.
the frustrating thing about biphobia is how casual it is and how most people perpetuate it without even giving it a second thought. like i’ve come out to two men that i’ve entered into romantic relationships with since knowing i was bi and both times there was the surprise and then the questions that were both incredibly invasive AND incredibly insensitive. like if i’ve been with a girl (no) and the follow up to this—how i could know i was bi if i’ve never been in a relationship with a girl. or if i had to choose who would i have a threesome with, AND if I’d be interested in eventually having a threesome with the person i was coming out to and someone else. if i’ve ever cheated on someone or if i ever would. like im so tired of this.
first of all this idea that everyone is entitled to a bi person’s sexual history, and that if they don’t feel like sharing their history or don’t have experience that the person prying deems bi enough on its own then obviously the person coming out is just misdirected. and then the idea that not only is everyone entitled to bi people’s sexual history, but also to their sexual preferences! intensely personal questions like what bi people prefer to do in bed is not something that you would ever ask a straight person upon finding out they were straight. it’s incredibly insulting and frustrating to find that even people who are supposedly progressive and open to the idea of bi people being actual people tend to fall back on these stereotypes that paint us as nothing but sexually deviant at best and as mere sexual objects at worst.
it’s shameful and makes my skin crawl to think that these negative stereotypes are what first come to everyone’s mind when someone mentions bisexuality. bisexuality is not inherently sexually deviant or dishonest or strange. it’s just a sexuality. and i wish that more people would be mindful enough to respect that, especially when coming in contact with a bi person who feels comfortable enough to come out to them and is then treated like a harmful stereotype.
Sexual orientation is defined as sexual attraction to a certain GENDER or SEX. You can not trade being heterosexual or homosexual for being a pedophile, because “child” is neither a GENDER nor SEX. The argument is tired. Pedophilia CAN’T be a sexual orientation by definition.
No tea, no shade, just FACTS!! 👏🏾
Don’t nobody think pedophiles should be part of the lgbtq umbrella.
Some anti-gay people are trying to say the lgbtq community supports it
in other to make more people hate lgbtq people.
Sorry not sorry I FUCKIN HATE PEDOPHILES 👎🏽 I don’t mind losing followers behind this post either because THE SHIT IS SICK AF
