tw// police brutality, split juries, violence against POC, Straight up murder. Elijah Jovan McClain.

My family watches the news in the morning, and one of the stories that was playing was the murder of Elijah Jovan McClain, and how the jury was able to convict one officer, but was split on the other one.

And I just. I don’t fucking get it. I really, really, REALLY can’t understand it.

#I know some of y’all don’t care #and that’s your prerogative #but if you DISAGREE? #please just go #because if you disagree with the murder of a young black man for just being young cold and black #I’m sorry but I don’t want you here #elijah #elijah mcclain #elijah joven mcclain #mcclain elijah #tw police brutality #tw crime #tw murder #tw violence against poc #say his name #say their names #say their name #I know I don’t post political things on my blog #for fucks sake I’m a free writer who describes cuddling with animation #but this isn’t politics #this is murder #this is a crime #this is a war against people of color #and it’s exhausting

Turn me goth

ok. listen to my playlist boy

(yeabh a few of the songs on here are NOT goth i just wanted them on my playlist for listening to while I play Bloodborne but its still like mostly gothic rock post-punk and darkwave so. whatever. its a work in progress, trying to get it to at least 3hrs while still carrying the vibes i want)

#not enough lycia songs on there i need to add more lycia songs i think #if you dont listen to these genres much a few songs might take a few listens to get used to but i encourage u to open your mind #or like skip them. thats your prerogative #just be niceys to me about it #music

tumblr glitched and spared you all the most heated rant of my entire hoa fandom tenure

#idek what happened i answered the ask & hit post but it completely deleted LOL #I’m not gonna bother to reanswer anon’s ask so I’ll give you the abridged version: #i would not feel the need to post so much about season 3 of hoa if people would stop being such virulent haters #and hold this season to an entirely different standard than the other two #like it genuinely makes no sense #i cannot stress enough that you can like s3 the least #that’s your prerogative #but to be so LOUD and so WRONG #ALL THE TIME??? #makes me genuinely mental #SEASON 2 IS LITERALLY MY FAVORITE SEASON #but season 3 needs love and so it’s been 11 years of me giving her love #anyway i guess i just gave you a take version of my rant #and @ anon: fuck you LOL leave me alone once and for all #i love having discussions and deep dives tho please do not think I’m @ing anyone on here you guys are chill and smart #and make good points and do great work and i love you #but if you’re a genuine s3 hater please fuck off to someone else’s blog i BEG #AND if you’re the anon who refuses to leave me in peace? i hope your pillow is warm on both sides #tess rambles

Coming back on here after essentially being mia for 3 years means that I keep getting notifications from people who are my mutuals but obviously they've changed names and whole ass fandoms since then cause I'm like, "who are you people???"

#mostly just when i click on the tumblr and yall have no identifying information #which is totally your prerogative #but i just have to settle for mystery friend for now lol #appreciate you all though 💕💕 #lolo rambles

thinness as a marker of health just pisses me off even more now that i live a "healthy" lifestyle and do all the things fatphobes tell you to do (eat a balanced diet with nutritious food, exercise regularly, drink a lot of water) and im still liable to be sneered at by a sedentary thin person whose daily intake is two quesaritos and a green machine juice. i did what you want! i'm not meant to be thin! sorry!

#and if thats how you wanna live that's your prerogative! #my issue is how ppl who live like that look down at ME #because of assumptions they make about MY body

[cherrypikkins]

I mean if you keep making all these posts openly berating people for liking art but not reblogging, eventually you'll get more people who will neither like nor reblog art posts for fear of being judged for only liking and not reblogging and no one is better off than where they started :/

#plus people have a reason for not reblogging stuff onto their own blog #its kind of your prerogative here on tumblr

[mummer]

the part of the episode where the toymaker was like “look what horrible things and sad endings happen to the companions” and they were just straight up all moffat made me scream laughhhhhhfjfh

#YEAH. I KNOW. COMPELLING ISNT IT. #ISNT IT DRAMATICALLY INTERESTING. WHEN BAD THINGS HAPPEN #doc who #and the fact he was like… you dont need to care about the chibnall companions idk them. Thanks 👍 #im wheezing thinking about capaldi watching this episode completely aghast #edit if u are rbing this to be mad at moffat. that is your prerogative but it was not my intention with this post lol. sorry

when a character says 'I can't live without you' I often think it would be more powerful to say, 'I don't want to live without you'. Life will go on, the world will turn, but a light has gone out of it that cannot be replaced even if new ones are lit. I want to be with you, I'm choosing to be with you, I could live without you but I would be losing something incredibly precious that brings a certain richness that nothing else ever will.

'I can't live without you' sounds kind of coercive to me. I can't live without you I don't have a choice so you don't have a choice unless you want to destroy me, do you want to destroy me? Without each other we have nothing, are nothing.

#a butterfly scribbles #ideas #prompt #prompts #someone else please say this better #I mean if you want to write about characters that can't live without each other that's your prerogative #I get tired of how it's supposed to be the ultimate romance or even normal and healthy and just thrown into stories willy-nilly #like in pride and prejudice darcy is all 'I'm in love with you against my will and better judgement' like there's no choice involved #elizabeth is unimpressed 'too bad so sad' #and guess what? his life goes on. in some ways it gets better as he improves himself #it wasn't a plan to win her back. whether or not they ended up together I think he would have ultimately been okay #I think that's great #my life is good but you would make it so much better please be a part of it #I shouldn't write when it's past my bed time

[elphael]

would you ever date someone nonbinary?

if i'm going to be honest. i would rather kill myself.

#like. can you see how if you fill that anon ask with Anything but 'a poly relationship' it becomes Wildly Shitty. #again you can still choose not to date nonbinary people that is your prerogative but to go to the lengths of I'd Rather Kill Myself is gros #obligatory: this is a post parodizing another post + i am nonbinary and will date nonbinary people lol

[greenerteacups]

what do you think is the most underrated moment in lionheart?

I deeply and gratefully appreciate how people react to chapters/plot beats of all sorts, so I don't have any moments that I think of as "underrated" per se.

That being said. In Book 3, Draco has a quip to Ron that goes: "where did you find this Methuselah of rats?" and I don't think there's anyone alive who finds that as funny as I do. I can sincerely make myself laugh out loud just by thinking about that line. It's still my favorite joke in the fic.

#in the end. writing comedy is just finding the line that appeals to your deeply personal esoteric sense of humor #if you can make yourself laugh then you're doing alright #writing comedy in long form prose is kinda tough because even though people will give you feedback like “good jokes! keep it up!” #(<3 <3 <3) #it's not always clear what jokes they think are landing #and especially when it's the throwaway stuff that isn't a focal point of the scene #eg the blink and you miss it stuff #i've gotta be like. welp. this makes me laugh so it's going in!! #which is the authorial prerogative at its finest.

"One day when I was a young boy on holiday in Uberwald, I was walking along the bank of a stream when I saw a mother otter with her cubs. A very endearing sight, I'm sure you will agree, and even as I watched, the mother otter dived into the water and came up with a plump salmon, which she subdued and dragged onto a half-submerged log. As she ate it, while of course it was still alive, the body split and I remember to this day the sweet pinkness of its roes as they spilled out, much to the delight of the baby otters who scrambled over themselves to feed on the delicacy. One of nature's wonders, gentlemen: mother and children dining upon mother and children. And that's when I first learned about evil. It is built into the very nature of the universe. Every world spins in pain. If there is any kind of supreme being, I told myself, it is up to all of us to become his moral superior."

--Lord Vetinari, Unseen Academicals by Terry Pratchett

#discworld #gnu terry pratchett #lord vetinari #havelock vetinari #discworld quotes #i love that philosophy and feel it in my gut and bones: #''if there is a higher power then it's our prerogative to be better than it'' #like that quote from nation about the gods letting you down and how kneeling to them would be bowing to murderers and bullies #or the whole theme of small gods where the higher power needs to learn to care about the people he demands worship from #pratchett often returns to this theme of ''what do you do when your god(s) fail you?'' #and having once felt like my god absolutely failed me - although i didn't have the words to see it like that at the time - that resonates #i've said before that that was such a revelation: those were the words of my last unanswered prayer #i have many intellectual reasons now to be an atheist but at the core it's... #if the universe is chaos then it cannot be cruel. there is no one who could have saved you but didn't for their own opaque reasons #if there is no god then no god failed me or left me drowning in despair for a whole year #small gods helped me conceptualize that in ways that defy words and literally changed my life and perspective for the better #anyway. this quote is magnificent. ''mother and child feasting upon mother and child'' #and it makes so much of vetinari's character make so much sense #he looked at the world through cynical and bitter eyes but instead of becoming a nihilist who manipulated the cruel world for his own gain #he said ''we can and must be better than this'' #(this is why i feel like kaz brekker - under inej's influence - should grow up to be like havelock vetinari) #(the one who clenches his fist and fucking *fixes* this goddamned place)

i am a shipper but i also love the way you draw bakudeku and specifically love that its not very shippy cause way too many shippers forget to or just dont care about depicting them as friends also which i find disappointing cause i think them being friends is the most important part of any potential shippy romance stuff

thank you but also u guys don’t have to nitpick other ppl’s interpretation of manga characters to uplift mine that’s not rlly nice 🏋️🏋️🏋️

#if someone sees them as exclusively in gay love that’s their prerogative #you can always share your own interpretation 😭 #asks

i hope this is an ok question to ask but can you help me understand why people are boycotting the screening of suga's movie in israel? it makes sense to want hybe to divest from zionism but i don't understand wanting to prevent everyone who lives in israel from seeing the movie. what about israeli army? i have to imagine there are many many people in israel who strongly oppose what their government is doing. please don't see this as an attack, but i'm just having a hard time understanding the purpose of this movement. i see people on twitter who are denouncing israeli army as a whole just because of where they live. how is that fair? people are not their country's actions.

i don't mind having this conversation if it's actually in good faith, but you sort of answered your own question: the divestment is the point. what does it look like for a company that is actively employing and standing behind zionist employees to profit from and release a film in a zionist state that is actively committing a genocide?

i'm sure palestinian army would love to go see a movie or listen to music or have access to the internet or just go a single day without fearing for their lives or watching loved ones die or get maimed. i'm sure they'd love to have a safe place to shelter. i'm sure they'd love to not be in the middle of a famine and worry about where their next meal is going to come from.

and i'm sure people are gonna yell at me for this bc god forbid this fandom has an opinion, but: some things are bigger than k-pop. you will be ok if you can't see a movie. you will be ok if you can't buy an album. you will be ok if your fav's streaming numbers are low. israeli army still have internet access, they can pirate it. you do not have to give hybe money for anything ever to support bts, and i think it's a little weird that blind, mass consumerism is not only completely acceptable in k-pop, but you are shunned and harassed for not participating in it.

#i really do not want to discuss this further #if you (general you) don't agree with any of the boycotts that's your prerogative! #but i am pro-boycott and my blog will be too #and it's not something i wish to argue about #jewel answers
