to be Honest™ i hate when keith is referred to as a dropout. it’s a misconception some characters in the show have of him that has been translated to the fandom and it’s :// and makes him seem lazy and unmotivated even though we know that’s very not true and very Not keith. he was expelled, yes. kicked out, yes. he didn’t go back because he couldn’t but he never chose to leave. in the pilot he straight up said “after getting booted from the garrison I felt kinda lost” while looking sad and reminiscent, why would he willingly impose that kinda feeling on himself
we kno next to nothing about keith’s life pre and during the garrison, but i have a strong feeling that that was maybe one of the few, if not The one place he probably up till that point felt where he could belong and again, I just, very Strongly don’t believe that he’d dropout and that it’s insulting to continuously insinuate that of him
I hope you don’t mind me adding a little to this, but this is something that drives me crazy in a lot of fanworks. I see flashbacks and Garrison AU’s all the time where Keith (even before Shiro is lost on Kerberos) is portrayed as a delinquent, never shows up to class, gets bad grades, and just all-around doesn’t try very hard.
But I think it’s pretty clear the Garrison is not a compulsory institution. This is isn’t like a high school in the US where all kids are legally required to attend unless they meet certain requirements for homeschool. They enlist. It is a choice.
Keith, whatever his reasons, joined because he wanted to. He wanted to be there. It was important to him. And I don’t believe for a second that he would have squandered all that away without a good reason.
Also, Iverson literally says that Keith was the best student of his class. I can’t see a teacher saying that about someone he viewed as a delinquent even if Keith did get kicked out for a discipline issues.
I am confident Keith’s discipline issues came in a moment of grief over losing Shiro.
This is Snopes-confirmed. Also be aware this is very common in sugar free food of many kinds. The retriever puppy who I know of who died of xylitol poisoning got hold of a pack of sugar-free gum.
I was supposed to just be making a promo banner for my new rp blog but no Mag’s cannot chill ever so I spent all day on this. My fan apprentice from the @thearcanagame in their Masquerade outfit, sans mask because I couldn’t decide what to give them
the true tumblr experience is blocking posts not because they’re offensive or bad, but just because you’re fucking sick of seeing them for the 100th time
My buddy used to know this guy in high school that would watch porn before every wrestling match he was in. He didn’t beat the meat. Didn’t even play with it. Sat fully clothed and watched violent ass hardcore for like half an hour.
He won almost every match.
Turns out being sexually aroused with no satisfaction makes your testosterone go into overdrive and turns you into a fuckin beast for like 15 minutes.
I do it now everytime I go to the gym. Never had better workouts.
Imagine being the guy figuring this out for the first time.
if you dont nut you unlock superpowers kids
having a raging erection while wrestling is also a great form of psychological warfare
power move: standing in front of your wrestling opponent with a rock hard boner that is not concealed in any way whatsoever, full well knowing you’re about to wrastle their entire body
Robes are stupid. My sorcerer dresses like Petyr Baelish.
To expand: if you are a mage, dress like a noble. Do not dress like a wizard. Pointy conical hat and sky-blue robes is medieval semaphore for “kill first and with extreme prejudice.” Tailored black silk over cloth-of-gold and studded with rubies says “Harmless, but valuable; ransom if possible or kill last.”
If you dress like a noble, they’re not going to pay attention as you take a turn or two to back away from the melee and prepare yourself. The ruse is only broken when you reveal yourself, at which point 8d6 fire damage is screaming toward them at Mach Fuck anyway, so no big.
counterpoint: if you don’t get to dress like someone ran a magical thrift shop through a rototiller and frankensteined the pieces back together what’s the god-damned point of being a wizard
listen it’s not that deep. if ur str8 and u think being bi is just a phase, congrats ur biphobic. if ur gay and u think all bi people will just “end up with the opposite gender” congrats ur biphobic. if ur gay/lesbian/str8 and u refuse to date a bi person because they’re bi, congrats ur biphobic. if u try to exclude bi people from lgbta+ conversations because of the gender of their partner, congrats ur biphobic. if u condense a bi person’s sexuality down to nothing but their sexual history or the gender of their current partner i.e. “that bi character isn’t good bi rep because she’s dating a guy” congrats ur biphobic. if ur bi and u think bi people in m/f relationships should just shut up, congrats ur still biphobic. these are not difficult concepts to grasp.
just REALLY CANT WAIT for the opportunity to start yellin at em over twitter
im gonna give you all a hot take thats gonna blow your minds
there is a .000001% chance they have any black friends, at all. they probably think lin manuel miranda is black. they probably thing liking hamilton counts as having black friends. they like hamilton.
and i have no choice but to know about these things
because that’s what being black is like
“yeah, they’re PROBABLY racist”
McElorys: actively work to create inclusive characters in their narrative work, and do a lot of research and ask questions and apologize profusely when they mess something and full admit they’re white straight cis guys and they’re at fault for not knowing certain things. Also two of them work in a video game news company and are not part of the HR or hiring branch for it. Griffin also donated all of the proceeds from his music to a trans advocacy group.
Tumblr: um they’re /probably/ HUGE bigots
The TRUE way to be #woke on tunglr.hell is to be able to be a smug self righteous bitch at people over their fandoms, so you pray every night before bed that you get fodder for it, because apparently it’s totally ok if poplar people are bigots as long as it gives you something to be smug about
