i think you’re scared, and i think that’s okay

There's something really special about lil nas x being like "subtext? No. Old town road is literally about riding horses. If I was going to write a song about riding dick, like. Trust me. You'd know" and then he did

shoutout to the survivors who are not forgiving, who do not believe that what happened to them was ‘for a reason’, who know they did not deserve it, who are angry at what happened to them, and who do not show the typical ‘good victim’ trope. You all get so much shit from people about how you should act from your trauma because only ‘good victims’ are deserving of empathy and support. You deserve so much more than that.

Fuck the saying “happened for a reason” and whoever came up with it.

How do I tell people that sometimes if you turn your shipping brain off you can interact with media better

Like I hate to say it but if you can’t engage with any media without descending into full-on fandom-style shipping at the expense of the themes, characterization, non-romantic relationships, and general content of the work. You might need to take a step back from shipping and maybe fandom in general. (Also to the people in the notes of this post who are acting like I said shipping in general is terrible: What this post is saying is that if you interact with all media exclusively through a shipping lens you miss a lot of stuff. I’m not saying don’t ship things, I’m saying use your critical thinking skills.)

“There’s more to media than romantic relationships” should not be a take which causes so much anger, and yet

Just saw someone say they were diagnosed female at birth instead of assigned and i cant stop laughing

Sorry i cant come in to school my doctor diagnosed me as female at birth :( here i even have a medical certificate

Wait i think i just reinvented misogyny

He’s nervous

Are you kidding me. Seriously, fuck Disney. They buy out a studio just to shut them down and now we’re going to be deprived of a movie that could have been incredible. Blue Sky was about to make a movie adaptation of Noelle Stevenson’s comic Nimona, a creative and wonderful story with LGBT leads and a unique style. This is why I don’t trust Disney; they take over everything and shut down any sort of progress that doesn’t fit their money-making agenda. Capitalism breeds innovation my ass.

this is a positive post, do not be negative and tell yourself you can draw and you will get better as time goes on!!! 

Tumblr should add a feature where you can add a little personalized message whenever you block someone so that's all they see when they try to go to your blog

parents who tell their daughters they are ugly are bad parents

aesthetic attraction is wild bc it’s like “yes i’m asexual but i’m also very gay and women are extremely hot”

nothing brings me more joy than critically engaging with media that was clearly not designed with critical engagement in mind. it’s the media studies equivalent of like, idk, trying to skateboard up a flight of stairs.
