also you know what?

while I’m here and while I’m pissed off, let me say something really important. 

I know tumblr loves to mock superwholock bloggers and people who love John Green books and all that shit, but please realize that a lot of people in those fandoms are kids. 

a lot of superwholock bloggers are like

13-15 years old

a lot of people who enjoy John Green books are in the same age bracket. 

these are kids. they’re fucking kids and tumblr has this thing about publicly humiliating them. 

I don’t care how annoying you think they are- I’m sure you were really goddamn annoying when you were 13! and yet you most likely didn’t have fucking twenty year olds bullying you.

because that’s what it is. adults bullying children. 

I know that the shows and books are problematic. I know these kids think some problematic shit, but so did you when you were 13. you weren’t born spouting feminist theory. 

I see a lot of posts that were made by some kid in one of these fandoms, that gained thousands of notes after someone added a mocking comment. and it depresses me because sometimes I’ll try to go to the OP’s blog and I’ll be redirected to a “not found” page. these are kids who deleted their fucking blogs because adults thought it was funny to laugh at them. 

I know you don’t like the fandom. I know that it’s problematic. but publicly crucifying kids is not okay. it’s not a joke. it’s disgusting that so many adults who claim to be so accepting find it okay to bully children.

People who argue that Sapphire and Ruby can’t be queer because of the gem’s lack of gender are missing the point. Last thursday a TV show watched by millions of children showed two female presenting characters in a romantic relationship. The ten or twenty percent of those kids who may be dealing with their own queer identities saw characters like themselves.

They saw the antagonist of the episode mocking a queer relationship and then being proved wrong.

They saw queer characters being empowered by their relationship.

They saw other characters being supportive of a queer relationship.

They saw a healthy queer relationship in comparison to an unhealthy one.

They saw a queer relationship meaning love and power instead of the usual queer narrative of death and sadness.

This is so much more important than any gem politics you want to use to hide your lesbophobia. Whether you read Sapphire and Ruby as nonbinary lesbians, gay, queer, or just an unnamed romantic relationship, this was still a big step forward that is one day going to mean a lot to some kid watching right now.

YouTube won’t let you skip the trailer for Unfriended

milestaylorcosplay:

For those of you who don’t know (and I didn’t until I was forced to watch the trailer), “Unfriended” is a paranormal horror movie about the ghost of a girl who commits suicide after being cyberbullied. (basically.)

The trailer is framed initially with web searches of “Laura Barns” with various autocompletes, starting with “passed out video”, moving on to “bullied”, “suicide”, and finally “revenge”.

The trailer includes a non-graphic snapchat of what’s implied to be her suicide, as well as sudden screams and a jump scare.

And it’s one of the short ones, so you can’t skip it. 

If you’re prone to anxiety attacks and/or are triggered by this kind of content, close the video if the ad starts with a screen googling “Laura Barns”. 

Please spread this for people who could be upset by it similarly or even worse than I was.

I feel part of my huge obsession of steven universe comes from gem fusion- it’s intimacy without necessarily being romantic or sexual, and dear god it just seems so amazing.

Why can’t human fusion be a thing. That would solve so many problems for asexuals/aromantics everywhere.

my computer crashed and i lost all my many, many tabs

how will i function nowwww

I like solas a lot but I am so wary of him bc he didn’t join in on the sing-along and that was very disney villain of him.
