RE: talking to conservative parents, I’ve found a good method to de-worming their brains is to not get riled up, just act a little bored and remind them “the news cycle only shows salacious stuff. They want you to be mad and scared because it makes you easier to control. Think about it for a second. Do you REALLY believe everything they have to say?” Or “you can’t believe everything you read or see on the internet. Remember, they earn money every time you click on their video.”

And especially when my dad starts getting huffy about Prices or Artists He Doesn’t Like, I tell him “that’s the beauty of capitalism. they have a product to sell and the freedom of expression if you don’t like it you don’t have to buy it.”

Might not work for everyone but dad’s KRYPTONITE especially is saying “but dad that’s capitalism! You LOVE capitalism!” And he either has to stop complaining or admit capitalism is bad and so far I haven’t lost

Next installment of Lord of the Rings AU: It's Fine, Everybody's Fine is Aragorn's coronation, at which Boromir W E E P S:

I think in a circumstance where Boromir lives, or even just in interacting with Faramir in canon, Aragorn would be very aware of the optics of striding in out of the wilderness to take a throne that the line of stewards had been fighting and dying for in his absence (Thorongil cosplay aside). Cool thing is, in this AU, seeing the king's throne filled and experiencing Gondor at peace for the first time in living history is more than Boromir EVER hoped for.

The day the White Tree sapling blooms, Aragorn wakes up Faramir and Boromir like a six-year-old on Christmas:

And then there's that FIRST SUNRISE over the Mountains of Shadow, when day breaks over a defeated east that's clean and clear and Boromir WEEPS AGAIN because he NEVER THOUGHT he'd see such a thing and YES this is a THIRST TRAP why do you ASK

Hell yeah I gave him a tattoo, it's the seven stars of Gondor plus a coastal rockrose that grows in sandy soils along the Mediterranean because I figure that's like Dol Amroth in honor of HIS MOM because I LOVE SYMBOLISM

i’m not a furry but i’m like. a furry ally or something. like you know those gay allies who are a lil cringe but they’ve got the spirit. like the moms that have the free hug shirts at pride. or the girl that’s like omg ur gay #loveislove. or the dude that’s like bro i’m not gay but you can slap my ass if you want. or the professors that have their pronouns on everything and give out gay flag stickers. that’s how i feel about furries ya know #ally #furpride

#edit: if anyone wants to draw me a fursona tho 👀 i’m a typical swaggy tboy w glasses and a dark mullet. i like possums and raccoons 🦝

What’s special about guardians of the galaxy as well is I think it manages to walk the fine line of having death be present and something that could very much happen to our main characters but also choosing to keep them all alive at the end of the trilogy. Not only is it nice to see finished arcs but I’ve never once felt as if the stakes were not high in these films and could not result in a main character death. James Gunn does a good job at showing he isn’t afraid to go there with what happened with Yondu at the end of gotg 2 (and providing a very meaningful death to him beneficial to his arc) and to an extension even shows this with rockets friends (lyla teeths floor) in the third film. I 100% felt as if multiple guardians would die I’m this film and whilst it did come close everyone made it out okay! This is a change from what we see in previous media where the line has pushed to one side too much where it can get annoyingly repetitive and boring because there is no tension or, death can happen too frequently that it’s a joke.

#guardians of the galaxy #ryan coogler #does this too #he is very good at walking that line #this also still happens in the mcu #infinity war did not fix character deaths for me #like if we count infinity war and endgame how many people actually died #like five #and it was supposed to be this big battle? #gotg3 #gotg vol 3 spoilers #gotg #guardians of the galaxy vol 3 #James Gunn #gotg gamora #groot #gotg rocket #rocket raccoon #guardians of the galaxy vol 3 spoilers

doodles from between uni and gotg3...... rocket and nebula i love you guys so so so much

#sorry i know this is the spidey blog but like. gotg3 is unfairly good everyone #gotg #gotg3 #rocket raccoon #nebula #not spidey #my art #also neb isnt specifically saying aang and zuko are like them. i think she's saying she thinks the gaang is like the guardians #or they watch the fast and furious movies and nearly die over it. thats also possible #but also shes kind of like aang is like me. bald. and rocket rolls his eyes like 'drax is bald too' #followed by her giving him the silent treatment LOLLLLLL

what people making those “hot gortash” mods fail to understand is that a huge part of the appeal is that he kind of looks like shit

#for the record i think he’s hot. in a raccoon way #im deranged admittedly but it works for me. i like that he looks like he hasn’t slept can’t tie his shirt and doesn’t brush his hair #also stop making him white? die? #bg3 #anyway. stop sanding everyone…. the astarion mods that do that same should be nuked off the earth #baldur’s gate 3 #enver gortash #bg3 gortash #specifically though if your idea of hotness is making his nose smaller and skin lighter im fucking stealing something from your house! #gillie plays bg3

Everyone's talking about how cute raccoons are, and while i agree wholeheartedly, all i can think about it the time i was at camp and i woke up to raccoons in our tent cause one was patting my ass through my cot, and then another grabbed one of the other girls' hands and she screamed and our councilor had to literally sweep the raccoons out of our tent with the broom she grabbed to hit intruders with lol. we made extra sure everything was zipped all the way closed after that

.

#I keep forgetting that raccoons are an actual existing animal that people come across like it's no big deal #as you may know I'm from Finland and we don't have raccoons here so to me they feel very ~exotic~ #same for opossums and skunks #the american trash mammal trifecta #also armadillos those are extremely cool #“patting my ass through the cot” how rude #answered #anonymous #I've said this before but would love to see an opossum one day they are Such Creatures

Ok just watched James Gunn talking about the OG and the new Groot, he said the new Groot grew up with a family and treated as a part of a family but the OG Groot was treated like an animal for much of his life. Him saying this made me yearn for a Rocket and Groot meeting story, old Groot had such a big heart even though according to Gunn, he was treated so badly and then he met Rocket somehow... Ugh imagine Rocket’s reaction, he probably never trusted anyone after escaping from HE and then he met this selfless giant tree that sacrificed himself to save him... 

‘‘Why are you doing this... Why?’‘ Rocket asked when he realized what the OG Groot was doing, he didn’t understand why would Groot sacrifice himself for him... I feel like deep down in vol 1 and before, Rocket was expecting Groot to leave him one day.

#like og groot and rocket's relationship wasn't the sweetest in vol1 but we all know that was rocket's defense mechanism #YES i will talk about how important of a figure Rocket was in new Groot's life #he's literally his dad #and will include other guardians too #Guardians of the galaxy #rocket raccoon #groot #don't mind me
