Okay, so, I’m obsessed with “Detroit: Become human” and I HAD to do this, so I did ♥

I don’t know, maybe if you click it the quality is better? Anyways, if not, it says:

“Lieutanant Shirogane, I think you should…”

Δ Talk to the neighbors ◻Let me lick the body  O Date me! X Be my boyfriend

“DATE ME!”

I asked my mom if I could get a little fish to stay in my room if I got 10,000 notes on Tumblr, and she said yes. P l e a s e reblog this or something because I WANT A FISH

So this vine must never be forgotten. Ever. Because it is too perfect.

I was talking about the stupid things I had done in high school.  How the stories I wrote were stupid and how all I ever wanted to draw was anime shit (which was stupid) and how immature I could be, etc etc etc.

and she was like “Why are you so determined to beat up on Little Maggie?”

It took me off guard, I was like “what do you mean?”

“Why do you keep saying Little Maggie is stupid?  You say she was stupid and immature but wasn’t she just a teenager?  Do you not like who you were as a teenager?”

I shrugged and was like “I think teenage me was very creative and was probably just having fun and being a teenager…”

“So why beat up on her and call her stupid and embarrassing?”

“I dunno, because I guess now I’ve learned a lot.”

“But she was young.  She didn’t know.  I’m just telling you this because if you keep beating up on Little Maggie, you have to remember that she grows up to be you.  When you put bruises and scars on Little Maggie, you’re leaving all the healing for Big Maggie.  Your insecurity about who you were as a child is going to come through into your adulthood.  Be nice to Little Maggie.”

And I’d never really thought of that before?  It seems status quo to just… hate who you used to be for not knowing enough, but that’s totally illogical.  Of course a younger version of you doesn’t know what you know and can’t act with the wisdom that you act.

And even if Little Maggie was writing silly stories about her friends while ripping off anime and drawing her own “manga” and being immature and goofy, she was having fun, she was being creative, she was enjoying the things she liked and she wasn’t hurting anyone.

She’s part of my past and hating her is hating the foundation of who I eventually became.

Mike Wheeler likes Will Byers just as much.

Will is the boy Mike disobeyed a cop for at the age of twelve. Will is the boy Mike trusted a silent and deadly girl for. Will is the boy Mike cried over. Will is the boy Mike stayed with for days, through emotional and physical hell.

Mike knows Will better than anyone, save for the rest of the Party. Mike held Will’s hand when he was afraid. Mike’s face when he realized Will remembered him was utterly relieved. Mike knew Will well enough to figure out that he wasn’t in control. Mike supported Will as they escaped the hospital. Mike helped bring Will back into his own body long enough to let him send a message. Mike called befriending Will “the best thing he’s ever done.”

A middle school in Achille, Oklahoma is closed following violent threats by parents on social media against Maddie, a 12-year-old transgender student who identifies as female and used the girls’ bathroom.

Maddie had been using the staff bathroom at her old school but used the girls’ bathroom at the new school because she wasn’t sure where the staff bathroom was. She was then accused of peeping under a bathroom stall. Her mother said it was probably because she “leans very far forward to use the bathroom.”

Then the threats began on a private parents’ Facebook group for the school. The parents called Maddie “it” and “thing”, suggested that her genitalia be mutilated to make her female (“a good sharp knife will do the job real quick”). One said it was “hunting season on them kind” and said there was “no bag limit.”

Maddie’s mother Brandy Rose said she fears for her life: “These are adults making threats– I don’t understand it. She’s an awesome kid. To see any fear in her, I can’t explain how bad that hurts me for them to hurt her.”

KXII reports: “The sheriff said the mother filed a protective order against one parent but no other arrests have been made, however several agencies including the FBI are stepping in to see if any comments constitute a hate crime.”

See the screenshots:

Sorry to say this but if we have to think about whether or not threatening to cut a 12 year old child is a hate crime means there is no hope for us. What has this nation become when it’s citizens feel they have a right to threaten minorities with no fear of repercussion. The only ringing heard now is the death knell of freedom..

After the recent backlash from season 7, @azure-mirror and I were feeling genuinely bummed out and upset from all the hate being directed at the crew. Meg, being the saint and genius that she is, came up with a fun and heartwarming solution that she dubbed the Positive Impact Project (PIP for short!)

Quoting her original post on a separate app directly:

“I actually have a family friend who knows Tim Hedrick. She’s stayed at his beach house on a couple different occasions and hung out with him and his family. So I decided to use that connection to my advantage.

I wanted to thank the vld team for all they have done for the fandom and share some positive comments with them, so I asked my friend if she would do me the huge favor of passing along a message to Tim and the team for me if I wrote one (I figure this worked well so he didn’t have to give up any personal contact to someone who was basically a stranger to him).

And she agreed to help!!

So… I’m officially writing a thank you letter to Tim and the team. But I figured what would really make it awesome is if I could gather a bunch of positive comments and thank you’s that I could screen shot them and include them in my message! Show them how many people appreciate them.

So if you wanna help send positivity to Tim, Lauren, Joaquim, Bex, Jeremy, Steven, Josh, Kimberly, Tyler, Rhys, or any other team member please leave a comment and I’ll be including them in my message/email.”

After a bit of discussion and HUGE success on the other platform, Meg and I agreed to put up the same call out here on tumblr. Since I have a larger following than she does, I offered to use it to my advantage.

So here’s our request:

Reply to this post, reblog this with your comments, spread this to your friends. We want Tim, Lauren, and the rest of the cast and crew to know that the majority of this fandom loves and appreciates them.

You can call out one person who has specifically impacted you, or send a general shout out to everyone. Whatever is most personal to you!

(We do request that you try to keep emoji usage to a minimum, though, lol)

All of the comments will be gathered together and sorted into a massive word document with the others, and sent directly to Tim.

If you have any questions, feel free to message either one of us!!

We plan on putting it all together in full on Friday (8/17), just so there’s a timely order.

Note: please no hate in the comments. If you didn’t enjoy this season, and you can’t say anything nice/you only want to hate on the creators, then this post is not for you. Everyone else, however, is more than welcome!

Thank you!!!
