your thoughts are like river water running over stones

posting about finding siffrin cute while shaking my head so the audience knows that while i like it when they're depicted like :3 i'm staunchly against the infantilization of their character

*explodes into a shower of gore and when the red mist clears i'm completely fine but wearing a different outfit*

i think the most upsetting thing about american-flavor puritanism is how fucking patronizing it is. it's 2026 but the whole world still has to deal with a cultural hegemony grown from the gnarled vestiges of victorian-era paternalism. tax-paying adults with passports and the right to vote are treated like wayward children because of the antiquated idea that authorities must protect the weak minds of the unwashed masses from depravity and corruption. the average american can send a fellow citizen to the chair, but they can't piss in a ditch without being declared an outlaw. american entertainment media is saturated with sex, but you can't talk about it online without getting your account suspended. it's such blatant censorship at a universal scale, but because sexual content is framed as inherently dangerous, this restriction on basic adult autonomy, this blanket denial of moral and intellectual adulthood, can be reframed as protection, an expression of care, a moral duty. "won't someone think of the children!" I AM A GROWN MAN! I AM A GROWN MAN! I AM A GROWN MAN! I AM A GROWN MAN! I AM A GROWN MAN! I AM A GROWN MAN! I AM A GROWN MAN! I AM A GROWN MAN! I AM A GROWN MAN! I AM A GROWN MAN! I AM A GROWN MAN! I AM A GROWN MAN! I AM A GROWN MAN! I AM A GROWN MAN! I AM A GROWN MAN! I AM A GROWN MAN! I AM A GROWN MAN! I AM A GROWN MAN! I AM A GROWN MAN! I AM A GROWN MAN!

hey i saw you across the echo chamber and i really liked what you were saying

I think any time anyone has a migraine $2,000 should be directly deposited in their bank account as compensation

jigsaw trap glitches out midway through & he has to come in with a bunch of tools and reset the whole thing. "sorry about that, should be good now"

one thing I wish people understood about tumblr posts is that they are not confession booths. if you see a post calling attention to the fact some behaviour patterns may actually be racist or misogynistic or transphobic or anything else you don't actually have to go into op's replies or tags to tell them You Personally have this patterns for detailed unproblematic reasons. I can't speak for the op of every post obviously but the point is likely to make people look at themselves critically and think about why they do the things they do. and if you're capable of introspection and understand that a post does not apply to you, the correct thing is to move on. you are just not its target audience

This June, I need Gen Z queers to understand that some people are closeted.

I never really considered that a rabbit would care for a scarab one way or the other. Didn't think a rabbit could formulate an opinion on the scarab at all

Conservative beauty standards are back with a vengeance which means it's especially important to go out this summer with bellies out and bodies unshaved. Also be unapologetically disabled with mobility aids and wearable medical devices and stim toys and ear defenders and all that stuff. You need it. People need to see it. Everyone needs to be reminded that life is unquestioningly more enjoyable when you're not living inside an arbitrary set of rules created by people who are offended by all the wrong things.

Just want everyone to know that there is more footage of people crying in 160 episodes of Steven Universe than there is footage of Sakura and Sasuke interacting together in the entire 673 episode and 11 movie run of Naruto, and those two supposedly get married after that show.
