we should take the “does it spark joy?” question to social media. go through your facebook, remove friends that do not spark joy, go through instagram and unfollow people and pages that do not spark joy. don’t surround yourself with things that don’t make you happy.

there should b a white woman equivalent of toxic masculinity bc the amnt of times white women have used their supposed fragile femininity to shut down any criticisms regarding their racism is fucking astounding.
it’s like,, u call them out for being racist and IMMEDIATELY the tears start to fall, they accuse u of being a misogynist, they accuse u of being anti-feminist, they pretend (or, in some special cases, genuinely believe) they’re incredibly hurt by ur words and “wrongful” accusations, and in general do everything in their power to weaponize their white womanhood so as not to be held responsible for their actions.
if you then get frustrated and/or angry at them for not getting it, you “prove their point” of being ~aggressive~ and ~unwilling to compromise or educate~. if you hold your tongue and instead console and apologize to the very person hurting you, you’re back to square one while also implicitly letting them know they can get away with being racist and even get called right for doing so as long as they play their cards right.
it’s a no-win situation for people of colour.
I can’t remember if I read it or watched a video, but I remember a black woman describing how she deals with this. She neither argues nor consoles, she just calmly tells the white woman “I’ll let you collect yourself and we can finish this conversation later.” In other words she treats them like the (evil) toddlers they are.
we should all be thankful that the loki show didn’t come out during his original time as a tumblr sexyman because we would have had a very real contender for the next onceler on our hands
i want you all to sit down and think about “loki, but there’s canonically an infinite number of variations of him” dropping in 2014 and count your blessings
One historical fiction cliche that needs to die is aristocratic/wealthy women being surprised that their parents have arranged their marriages like?? How do you think money and property works in this period?? How do you think marriage works in this period?? How naive can you get?? Viola de Lessops in Shakespeare In Love being like “bUt I dO nOt LoVe YoU mY LoRd” like srsly girl wake up.
Elizabeth of York- oh I’m sorry, “Lizzie” in The White Princess being like “but i always dreamed of marrying for love!!1!” like honey… you were raised the eldest daughter of a king, in an age of political instability, where marriages could mean life or death. Even if after you were made illegitimate your ‘beloved uncle’ planned to marry you off to Portuguese royalty. You really thought you could just pick some guy and everyone would be chill? That thought actually crossed your mind? You weren’t raised on the idea you’d marry a prince or a king and leave England?
Where are the characters who dreamed of a doomed courtly romance where they’d never even touch their devoted True Love and are horribly embarrassed to find that they actually like their arranged spouse?
Now that would be something interesting to explore!
are they hot or are they just skinny. do they have great style or are they just skinny. do you want their gender or are they just skinny.

magpie: bet you can’t fit that whole thing in your mouth.
fox: watch me.
To all the people worried about the fox in the comments….he’s fine, just tripping balls. 😂
So the magpie is daring him to hit an entire blunt in 12 seconds. I getcha now.
Sometimes i think about like, how many great games would exist if moble games were designed to be good instead of just suck you dry of cash
