actually, no, you no what? the funniest part of the elden ring dlc discourse isn't the Mohg situation (though that was pretty good). the funniest part of the dlc discourse was that EVERYONE, without hesitation or exception, fell in love with igon everyone really said
people on this site have no idea that there's a difference between religion, fanaticism, ideology, and Christianity.
Six signs you're making a poor decision:
i. you avoid input from people you respect
ii. you don't consult the Word of God
iii. you don't pray for God's leading
iv. it doesn't build you spiritually
v. it undermines your integrity
vi. it leads you to temptation
Mammals both produce milk and have hair. Ergo, a coconut is a mammal.
for real though John had a point. this place has it fair share of problems, but a lot of the people on here are just silly little guys who have niche interests and want to share them with each other. we've got our own little culture; a unique language, our own stories and folk tales, and (probably the most unique thing ive ever seen tbh) a group of people who seem to be more altruistically/positively minded as opposed to cynical or aggresive. even if we have different beliefs and ideals, the vast majority of tumblr users seem to legitimately believe the world to be good, or at least make it a good place.
Not what I expected coming from John Green
Since I'm considering making new designs for my Redbubble shop, I'm thinking about my Plaidified Disney Princesses, including:
Sea serpent Ariel
Classic giant Snow White
And Rapunzel with a Jack and the Giant Beanstalk twist
Unfortunately, from what I researched, Disney isn't partnered with Redbubble's fanart program, which means selling Disney fanart is copyright infringement. But that doesn't mean I can't make my own designs based on the OG fairytales... [insert eyes emoji]
Anyway, just an idea I'm contemplating. I'm currently still figuring out details about Giant Kaiju Ladies designs and eager to see your suggestions--this fairytale concept is just a fun idea for future reference (and some cute G/t art for my fellow g/t-enjoyers haha)
please please please please reblog if you’re a writer and have at some point felt like your writing is getting worse. I need to know if I’m the only one who’s struggling with these thoughts
My medieval servant boy has gone missing. I’ll just use Google to see if I can find him.
Okay here's my obligatory post about Tumblr users and their ignorance of rap, as a (white) fan of rap:
Saying "Not all rap music is about violence, here are alternatives" is not helpful, because the violent music ALSO has meaning.
When Biggie Smalls postures about his gang connections and packing heat, he isn't doing it because wow violence is so edgy, it's a powerful statement. Youth in urban areas where gang activity is heavy are often treated as lesser than by default, especially compared to black people the same age from a wealthy background. There's a reason that the "wholesome and respectable" black-lead entertainment of that era was stuff like the Cosby Show, with doctor-lawyer parents, or Family Matters, with a cop dad. There's a reason why the big joke of Fresh Prince is someone with a more unstable upbringing moving in with one of these model black sitcom families.
Standing up and saying yeah, I came from the mean streets, I was molded by this violence and yes, I did what I had to do to survive in a world that refuses to acknowledge my existence as meaningful or worthy of protection. I protected myself, I made my own way, and fuck anybody who tries to stand in the way of that.
Refusing to demonize that environment and wearing it like armor in a way that protects from the authority that wants you to see them as sub humans incapable of only violence and hatred, and saying HEY. I'm here, I lived this, and there is love and there is pain and there is ART in this.
That is powerful. That is the essence of gangster rap.
It isn't about hurting people for fun, it's about holding a mirror up to a society that does the hurting and then calls you a monster for what it's made you. Its about validating the experiences of the disenfranchised and biting back at authority. It's about turning a pain that the world say you deserve being one of those people from those places into POETRY. Into ART.
And thats why it matters.
And thats why you need to shut the yell up and stop dismissing it as violence without substance when you all sat on your ass listening to songs about Hatsune Miku eating people in middle school.
tumblr users love reading. you literally stopped for this post just because it has words in it
So, let me guess– you just started a new book, right? And you’re stumped. You have no idea how much an AK47 goes for nowadays. I get ya, cousin. Tough world we live in. A writer’s gotta know, but them NSA hounds are after ya 24/7. I know, cousin, I know. If there was only a way to find out all of this rather edgy information without getting yourself in trouble…
You’re in luck, cousin. I have just the thing for ya.
It’s called Havocscope. It’s got information and prices for all sorts of edgy information. Ever wondered how much cocaine costs by the gram, or how much a kidney sells for, or (worst of all) how much it costs to hire an assassin?
I got your back, cousin. Just head over to Havocscope.
((PS: In case you’re wondering, Havocscope is a database full of information regarding the criminal underworld. The information you will find there has been taken from newspapers and police reports. It’s perfectly legal, no need to worry about the NSA hounds, cousin ;p))
