Really important to remember that black lives have intrinsic value and that needs to be respected.

Black people do not have to be exceptional for their right to life!!!!

Repeat after me:

Black people do not have to be exceptional for their right to life!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Lmao! 😂

Irene: This is actually painfully on-brand for me.

Kai would be so miffed! He was saving those for a special occasion.

I live for the idea of Percy standing up in class and absolutely losing it whenever anyone suggests that Dionysus is a powerful being or even vaguely coherent.

Percy would write essays such as "Why Hercules is a Dick" and "As Far As Poseidon Goes As A Parent, He's Okay (compared to other gods)" but would be unable to cite his sources. He gets a B.

percy’s mythology essays never follow the topic and devolve into wild, chaotic rambling halfway through, but he’s very opinionated and the professor is wildly entertained so percy still passes the class

I got Baz as well, very pleased! I’m glad someone recognises the hard work I’ve put in, in the gay yearning department.

HEY, YOU! take this quiz to find out which carry on character you are!! share in the tags what you got :)

Kai being a mood once more!

Kai: Ew, who would want that as their last meal?

Kai: Personally, my last meal [pulls out a handful of pancakes from her pocket] would be pancakes!

Irene: You just.... keep that in your pocket?

Kai: We face death every day. This time I’m gonna go out on my own terms.

Super cute!

Perfect spot

If you’re European, in a couple of weeks you will be denied any and all access to fandom contents on Tumblr and everywhere else on the internet. Here’s why.

On June, 20th the JURI of European Parliament approved of the articles 11 and 13 of the new Copyright Law. These articles are also known as the “Link Tax” and the “Censorship Machines” articles.

Articles 13 in particular forces every internet platform to filter all the contents we upload online, ending once and for all the fandom culture. Which means you won’t be able to upload any type of fandom works like fan arts, fan fictions, gif sets from your favourite films and series, edits, because it’s all copyrighted material. And you won’t also be able to share, enjoy or download other’s contents, because the use of links will be completely restricted.

But not everything’s lost yet. There’s another round of voting scheduled for the early days of July.

What you can do now to save our internet, is to share these informations with all of your family members and friends, and to ask to your MEP (the members of the European Parliament from your country) to vote NO at the next round, to vote against articles 11 and 13.

Here you can find more news and all the details to contact your MEP:

Also, sign and share this petition:

We have just a couple of weeks to stop this complete madness, don’t let them dictating the way we enjoy our internet.

#SaveYourInternet now!

Alright Legolas.

Lets make like vikings people, I’m having a full on boat. Make archaeologists think that the Viking age lasted another thousand years!

If when I die I dont get buried with a awesome sword then what was the fucking point

Yeah, super cute.

Jgjfdhsh I love how draw Merlin’s ears

Thank you!!! And what could complement his ears more than a big pointy hat?

Future archaeologists seeing my ridiculous number of souvenirs and weird stuff: “Well she’s clearly a fully-fledged hoarder or a remarkably accomplished thief or both”

don’t mind me just giving myself a crisis over the fact that, one day we will be archaeology .... just like the archaeology studied today & people may misrepresent us like we do them.

Yess! These all sound dead brill would love to read or write this.

18th Century Manners

I love Regency Romance, don’t get me wrong, it’s one of my all-time favourite genres, but I really feel like there are not enough people who appreciate the non-romance shenanigans that the rigid code of politeness in force in Approximate-Regency-Period England allows. Where are the stories about:

1. Someone accidentally wanders into the wrong social group without realizing it, Certain Things are never openly discussed, ergo two discreetly gay dudes have been effectively members of a smuggling operation for like 4 years without anyone noticing the misunderstanding. A Discreet Communication Carried For A Friend is a  Discreet Communication Carried For A Friend, after all. 

2. Elderly matriarch of large and successful family is discovered on her death to be the widow of the wrong Sir Henry, at no point did anyone notice because It’s Rude To Pry, entire family has been slavishly obeying the whims of a completely unrelated stranger for 30 years purely because she turned up and announced that she was Eccentric Uncle Henry’s widow. 

3. Trans dude makes his first foray out in male attire, meets a bunch of Lively Young Gentlemen while out drinking, they’re friends now, his entire made-up-on-the-spot backstory is accepted without question, nobody questions him for the next 50 years because he’s Lord So-and-so’s Dear Chum and therefore is just presumed to have been vetted at some point. Once or twice a Fellow Chum finds out, is mildly shocked, and then Never Speaks Of It Again Because One Does Not. 

4. Being a werewolf is HELL when it takes 2-3 hours to get dressed to socially acceptable standards and all the best parties are on full moon nights so people can see to drive home. 

5. Angry ex shows up to be poisonously sweet at a party, it is Literally Unthinkable to be so rude as to tell them to leave. 

6. All your friends are 100% down to help each other cover up a scandal. So far your friends-group has concealed 1 lesbian affair, 2 het affairs, smuggling, extortion, and 2 murders. 

7. Being an obnoxious old lady is super fun when everyone else is too polite to Sass You Back. You eventually find a stroppy young woman who drops even sicker burns than you do and adopt her as your heir. 

This is seriously gorgeous! So talented.

I have like 20 different things to work on and here I am drawing my favourite moon princess.

But hey looks like I’m getting better at this semi-realism garbage yay

Love this

Irene: Care to sit? I'm sure you'd like to take some weight of your cloven hooves.

Bradamant: Calling me the devil? How original, Irene.

Irene: Actually, I was calling you a goat. You goat.

Immediately begins frantic excitement!

*Enters a bookstore*

me to myself: be calm

I’m finally able to get life-changing help, and I can’t afford it. Please help spread this. Please help me work towards recovery instead of getting irreparably worse.

Hi, my name is Casper! Here’s some pictures of me to prove I am a real person. TL;DR I am really sick, here’s my donation fund

I just got laid off due to covid 19- I was working full time even though my job was bad for my condition. I’m a chronically ill, disabled, and mentally ill trans and nonbinary person (ehlers danlos syndrome, postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome, narcolepsy, hypermobility, fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue syndrome, chronic pain syndrome, chronic costochondritis, gastroparesis, endometriosis, PTSD, major depression, anxiety, and much more). I finally moved out of my small town, which only supplied healthcare via deeply transphobic and religious sources. 

Since doing so I have finally had access to care. I started therapy and got my chronic illnesses accurately diagnosed. I have had these illnesses mostly since birth, but they became unmanageable 6 years ago and I have been suffering with no known cure or diagnosis since. These illnesses almost made me drop out of school and have already impacted my career. 

Now I finally have treatment open to me, and it could change my life. Please help me. My illnesses are actively getting worse and threatening to prevent me from doing the only things I care about. I have not been bedridden like this since before I figured out how to manage my symptoms, and I have never been in this much constant pain. 

My shitty insurance will not cover anything until I pay $1000 for my deductible per treatment type. I need 3 types (listed below). After I do that, they’ll cover 80% of the expenses and I can hopefully handle it then. Unemployment will be enough to cover my rent and food, luckily, but not much else. State healthcare would not help me more than my current healthcare. I am applying for disability now that I have a diagnosis but it is a lengthy process. 

1. My insurance WAS covering therapy but surprise! They changed their minds, didn’t tell me until this week, and now I’m $850 in debt to my therapist and I’ll have to stop therapy cold turkey right when I need it most. Once I pay back the $850 debt + $150 to hit the deductible, I can continue therapy. That’s hoping I don’t accrue a ton of interest before that happens and become hopelessly in debt. 

2. My physical therapy to help me stop dislocating my joints constantly and being in so much pain I can’t sleep, walk, or draw was slated to start April 15th (today) and continue weekly for 7 weeks. If I can pay $1000 of visits, I hopefully can manage to pay the co-pay after insurance kicks in. 

3. And finally, I desperately need a psychiatrist. Psychiatrists are the only kind of doctor that can give me the kind of medication that will help the majority of my physical illnesses - not just my mental illnesses. My nerves bombard my brain with pain signals and the only way to begin to help me is to quiet those signals. Again, I’ll need to pay $1000 to that doctor as well before my benefits kick in. 

This isn’t even counting what I’ll be needing to pay for my medications and mobility aids (I need splints to stop my joints from dislocating, but they are not cheap). I am going to have to put those things on hold, along with a terrible tooth infection that I have been trying to save up to fix for 3 years now. 

GoFundMe’s 3% fee tacks on about $90 assuming I somehow manage to raise this money 

.https://www.gofundme.com/f/ehlers-danlos-syndrome-treatment-for-casper

That brings me to a minimum of $3,090 to get into the doctor’s office.

Please help spread this. I know everyone is in a tough spot right now, and I deeply appreciate it. My life was just about to finally get better when this came crashing down on me. 

Here’s some of my art. Its the only thing I have to offer the world most days. I want to continue living and making my work. Please help. 

We need to be aware of this more

talk about yemen. talk about the 63,000 yemeni children that died of preventable causes. talk about how the UN dubbed it “ the world’s largest humanitarian crisis ”. talk about US’ major role in backing Saudi Arabia’s bombing. talk! talk! talk! this needs to get the deserved and much needed attention.

Baz Pitch as he swishes his cape melodramatically.

the strong urge to wear a long, blood red velvet cloak at all times. where does it come from.

This is unbelievably horrendous, I really didn’t realise you could get it that wrong, I mean wow!

We interrupt today’s anniversary posts to bring you, possibly the worst attempts at a Scottish accent-ever, from Scooby Doo and “A Highland Fling with a Monstrous Thing”

I looked it up on Youtube and they want £1.99 to view it all!!! If there is something I know about the internet if content is online, it is also free somewhere, so here is the full episode including bagpipes and Heilan Coos……

Yeah it’s just such a wild idea, Mel Gibson playing William Wallace like who on earth decided that that was what the world really needed? I’m Scotttish and I’ve not seen it except in clips and even that fills me with horror and giggles.

I truly dislike braveheart and wish it wasn’t one of the films everyone names as ‘fave scottish film’

I will note that it’s entertaining to have experienced the difference between watching it with English coworkers and Scottish coworkers. English coworkers took it very seriously as a symbol of Scottish emotions towards England etc. whilst Scottish coworkers watched it and laughed at almost every single bit of it because of the inaccuracies.

Baba, my father, has chronic leukemia. On Wednesday, he received a bone marrow transplant. Today begins his fourth day of chemotherapy. The insurance will not cover the mandatory 100 days he will be staying in the hospital nor the hospital’s hotel room, where he must be looked after 24/7.

Please, please, if you are able, please consider donating & reblogging to help my father.

(Photos taken before the transplant, one in hospital & the other while holding my father in the hotel room the night before he checked into the hospital for the next 3+ months.)

I’m really, really frightened.

I think we all fancied Cedric to be honest!

harry potter fancied cedric diggory reblog if you agree

Hat 6 or 9 broom 16

I’m hat 5, broom 5. What about you? 🦇🖤🍂

So true.

Your freedom of speech does not matter more than jewish peoples survival. Freedom to say horrid things and rouse people to commit atrocities shouldn't be held as a sacred ideal more important than human lives. The first amendment means nothing to victims of murder.

Hey, you. Yeah, you. The one who hasn’t told a single soul, doesn’t have any pride merch, maybe doesn’t even know their own flag because they can’t look it up. The one who’s still on the wrong side at pride parades, stuck there with their parents or their church. The ones who have to call themselves slurs at home, who act like they hate us to the entire world and inside are screaming but I’m just like you. This one’s for you.

I know you’re out there. I know. I just hope this message reaches you, somehow.

Happy coming out day, dear. Someday, if you want to, you’ll wave your flag and wave it proud. I’ll be here when it’s safe. Until then, I love you, and I hope I’ll get to see you when that Someday comes.

Go Ethiopia!

Please help me, I still have cancer and my last post isn't getting me help anymore

Hi, most of you have probably seen my last post that looked like this:

So the post now has over 12 thousand notes, and as great as it is to have that many notes..

I'm not getting anymore donations or notes from it and I'm really scared that it's because it has so many notes, that people are just looking past it now.

So I'm starting over with a new post.

About a month or two ago I made that post when I had absolutely nothing, and through a LOT of peoples kindness, I was able to buy my medicine and get a months worth of cancer treatment done.. but now it is September 1st and here in a couple of days I will be out of my medicine and due for my blood treatment but I once again have no way of paying for it.

I genuinely need donations again!!

My treatment involves draining my blood, because of the Polycythemia Vera, I have too much. I am at a higher risk of a stroke, and with my heart disease ontop of that.. the risk is even higher.

My medicine, my treatment, all of that.. is working!! Let me repeat because I am so happy to say this, but the treatment that I have been getting HAS BEEN WORKING FOR ME!! My hair has been growing back, my energy has been coming back, I've been able to eat more, and I've been able to get out of my house let alone my bed more and more thanks to being able to have my treatment.

But it costs money, and until I am approved for disability (which I have a working case for) people like you, spreading this post and donating to me.. you are helping me get better!!

So please, donate if you can to my PayPal account. I tried setting up a venmo account as well as a GoFundMe page, but my bank keeps assuming it's a fraud and canceling my accounts. So PayPal is all I have right now.

Please donate or spread this post instead of my last one, thank you for reading.

P. S.

To those I promised a tarot reading to for donating to me, please send me a message and I will get you, your reading asap. And to anyone who wants a tarot reading for a donation, genuinally, just one dollar will get you a full reading of your choice. Thank you.
