Just watched the new She-Ra and I really liked it!!

if you call someone to witness and they refused to show up, you are legally entitled to stand outside their house and scream, but only every third day

you can sell your son into slavery once or twice, but after the third time he doesn’t have to put up with that shit anymore

no wailing allowed at funerals

also you can only have ONE funeral per person, don’t get greedy

if your neighbor’s tree has a branch hanging into your yard, you can legally cut down the entire fucking tree

however, if some of your neighbor’s fruit from his dumb tree falls into your yard, he can legally come into your yard to snoop around get it

((Written for anyone having trouble understanding how the galra could have turned on the alteans so quickly.))

Let’s say you’re a galra living on Daibazaal right before the shit hits the fan. You’re nobody important, just some low-level soldier. Not powerful, but still respected. You have friends and family living on the planet and a mate and cub at home.

You get off of guard duty and meet up with your friends to chat for a bit before going home. One of them works in the palace and tells you the Empress is still bedridden. Given how long it’s been, she’s may not last much longer.

It’s a shame. She may be a foreigner and not even galran, but she’s still beloved of the Emperor, and you respect that. You wonder whether you’ll be given time off to attend what will no doubt be a lavish and somber funeral. You wonder if the Empress’ death will halt research of the anomaly that splits the crust of your planet.

The rift feels like it’s always been there, though your parents can tell you otherwise. There didn’t used to be so many earthquakes, but then, there didn’t used to be as many powerful ships either. Everyone’s talking about the stabilization project. Emperor Zarkon claims it will stop the earthquakes, and you trust your Emperor.

So you live your life with your job and your friends and your family, and then one day you hear the news.

The Empress is dead… as is the Emperor.

The news is shocking. Even more so as it comes from the lips of a foreign ruler. King Alfor may have been a friend and ally of Zarkon, but it was common knowledge they’d been estranged of late. And now for him to be the one to come bearing news of the death of the royal couple is… unsettling.

What he says next is appalling.

“Daibazaal must be destroyed.”

Daibazaal. Your home. The home of all your ancestors unto the very origin of your species. The earthen cradle that nourished your entire civilization. And it is to be destroyed?

The anomaly, Alfor claims, is at the root of it. It’s too dangerous. It’s grown far beyond its former size. There’s no way to close it except through destruction.

That’s when the whispers start. Because to most people, the rift is something that’s been around for ages. Aside from that one little hiccup with a shadow monster – a monster which their Emperor and the other paladins soundly defeated – it’s been fairly quiet. The Emperor and his Empress had it under control. And now… Now it’s too dangerous? Now when the royal couple is conveniently dead under bizarre circumstances?

In this environment of uncertainty and fear, the planet begins to evacuate. Some refuse to leave, mostly elders. They will die with their home, and there is nothing the alteans can do to persuade them otherwise.

You leave because you want to live. You want your friends and your family to live. So you take your mate and your cub and everything you can carry onto the ship the alteans have provided. Of course, you can’t carry everything. Keepsakes, furniture, the house itself… Much is left behind.

And, of course, there are larger edifices, important to the species as a whole, that cannot be removed: monuments and gardens and great works of architecture. Perhaps someone could work out a way to save them given enough time, but you haven’t been given enough time.

You sit with your family on the evacuation ship and think of the Falls of Zeth. Your parents took you to see them as a cub. You’d meant to take your own cub, but that won’t happen now. It’s horrifying to realize you will outlive a natural wonder that should have stood for a thousand generations to come.

Standing on foreign soil, you hear of your home’s destruction. There are video recordings, but you cannot bring yourself to watch them.

King Alfor hosts a grand funeral for your fallen rulers. It is grand and tasteful and solemn, and it will never be enough to account for what’s been lost.

But then, as you and the rest of your species linger in that terrible void in the aftermath of losing everything, Zarkon returns.

Your Emperor lives.

And the first thing he tells you is that Alfor has betrayed you.

In your loss and your lostness, it is the easiest thing in the world to believe. Alfor was the one who falsely reported the royal family’s demise. Alfor was the one who ordered the destruction of your planet, your home. Alfor is the one who cut out the very heart of your species and your history.

I’ll show you what shoes to wear How to fix your hair Everything that really counts

bioware could’ve done so much more; even just cutscenes with your companions would’ve been better than the specialisation quests. cutscenes that could differ depending on whether or not you’re in a romance with them, and how high/low your approval is.

imagine solas begrudgingly teaching a low approval inquisitor … but he puts them through the ringer, because if they are to learn, they have to learn. imagine a romanced sera correcting your bow stance with a big grin on her face, a giggle underneath with her hands on your waist - like this, honeytongue! imagine a high approval blackwall giving you all that he knows because you gave him a second chance. 

Joe Biden has a message for fraternity guys

      “Let me tell you something about those who get left behind. Because it’s hard. And that’s what you become, hard. But if there’s one thing I’ve learnt, it’s that I will never let her down. And I’ll protect them both until the end of my life. So whatever you want, I’m warning you, back off.”

It parallels Elton (who lost his mother) and even Bridget (who lost her daughter), who got involved with LINDA as a coping mechanism for being left behind.

It’s also got a great ending speech:

       ”you know, when you’re a kid, they tell you it’s all, grow up, get a job, get married, get a house, have a kid, and that’s it. But the truth is, the world is so much stranger than that. It’s so much darker, and so much madder. And so much better.”

A message that RTDs Doctor tries to convey in almost every episode.

Frequently dismissed by people because “lol monster not scary”. Maybe if he was a stone angel with some pointy teeth…

Space Pig: Clearly not meant to be taken seriously. Designed to be obviously not an alien to the audience, to show the gullibility of humans and their tendency to overreact and act violently when faced with the unknown, as the soldiers did when they shot him to death when he clearly showed no threat. Also, meant as a DISTRACTION for the overreacting humans so that the real alien threat could put the world on red alert and they could get ahold of nuclear weapons.

Scribble: A product of an emotionally disturbed child from an abusive home where her only living family member refuses to give her closure of the abusive part of her childhood.

Slitheen: Skinned human beings and wore their pelt. Intended to use nuclear weapons to destroy the planet to sell for profit. A clear symbol for the destructiveness of corporate greed. But like “lol it fart and green so it bad”, right?

Lazarus: Tried to play god and delay the inevitability of aging and death. It resulted in him becoming quite literally a monster who’s fears and selfishness made him disregard other’s lives. 

       ”It doesn’t work like that. Some people live more in twenty years than others do in eighty. It’s not the time that matters, it’s the person.”

Everything ends. That’s a common theme in Davies work. He’s informing us that death is inevitable but it doesn’t have to be horrible if we make the most of what we have.

Shrivelled Ten: The Master purposefully made the Doctor pathetic and weak to destroy the will of the people of earth. The Doctor is a symbol of hope, and if you weaken him then people give in to their fate.

Max Capricorn: He planned to wipe out London just to get revenge on members of the board. His inability to let go of his anger at the board is paralleled by his inability to let go of life, hence his existence as a cyborg at 200+ years of age. but “lol head on wheals, right?”

The Master: He’s completely physically unstable, because he planned his own resurrection as a means to escape the Doctor and cause the Doctor grief. His physical instability is just a visual manifestation of his emotional/mental instability. It’s symbolism Davies uses to get his point to the audience. 

Chloe Webber: Already addressed this a bit, but I’ll continue. Chloe was being possessed by another child who she felt kinship to, because she literally had no one. She had no way to communicate to other children because of the emotional distress her father caused, and her mother also had emotional distress which caused her to not be able to communicate with Chloe about her father. The means the Isolus uses to get to Chloe is hardly relevant when you put it into the perspective of WHY she targetted Chloe.

Tinkerten: This is admittedly a Deus Ex Machina, but it’s a decently executed one, because the story arc is intended to take a backseat to character and emotional one. From a narrative perspective, Martha’s journey is less about finding a solution to the Master and more about her coming in to her own person. Furthermore, the God Symbolism is used for a reason, so it can be deconstructed (as RTD tends to do), as the minute he survives, he’s punished for his hubris. His self-righteousness (forgiving the master) leads to the Master deciding to leave him alone in the universe, and later leads to Martha leaving, as he caused a HUGE rift in her family life.

RTD knew he was writing a kids show. He took serious stories and complex emotional arcs, and buried then under sixty feet of silly to get them accross to the young audience, as he should. Moffat, however, takes silly nonsensical stories and shallow emotional “arcs”, changes the chronological order, ads some scary monsters and flowery speeches, and thinks himself mature.

I read somewhere that RTD’s Doctor Who was a serious show pretending to be silly, and Moffat’s was a silly show pretending to be serious, and I think this all explains it well, and you’re a perfect example of the people who buy into it.

subtitle font becomes absolutely unreadable at the inevitable quality drop no matter what color or font its in

translator’s notes with ^___^ or O_o;;

you were probably watching: naruto, death note, full metal alchemist, fruits basket, gurran lagann, ouran high school host club, inuyasha, or the melancholy of haruhi suzumiya

“just according to keikaku”

This led to a debate on gun control and in 1997 2 firearms amendment acts were passed making it illegal to own a handgun for personal use in the United Kingdom.  We have had no shooting on a similar scale to this since.

6 weeks later in Australia was the massacre in Port Arthur when 35 people were killed and 23 wounded, which led to the imposing strict gun control. There have been no shootings on a similar scale to this since, either.

There are so many awesome things about you that deserve more room to breathe and flourish than double binding will allow. 

Your validity is not determined by how flat you are.

Your worth is not measured in the circumference of your chest.

You deserve to breathe. You deserve belly laughs, and the ability for your lungs to expand enough to sing really bad karaoke or blow out birthday candles or take your dog for a walk. You deserve oxygen, and unbroken ribs, and unpunctured lungs. You deserve to live like the bad ass you are, and you can’t if you can’t breathe (I know this from experience!). 

By double binding you are restricting the glory of who you are and all you can be to this idea that validity, joy, and worth are only for guys with flat chests. It’s a lie. You don’t need a flat chest to be valid. You don’t need a flat chest to own your truth and be true to it. The idea is a lie. You don’t deserve its consequences (physical and emotional). The truth of your validity and awesomeness is so much better, so please bind safely and keep breathing into the bad ass that is you.

No flat chest is worth a flatline.

Thankfully, I stopped double binding before breaking any ribs, despite doing it for a quite a long time, but I know that double binding has damaged me INSIDE.

I used to double bind almost daily because of dysphoria and it got to the point, I really did need to have a break. I couldn’t bind at all and thankfully, at this time I was going through mental health issues so I didn’t leave my house in need of having to wear my binder, but I was in pain; my back, my chest, my ribs, everything hurt. I remember for about 2 weeks I stayed in bed but I remember even lying down would kill me. I’ve never been to a doctor about it, but I have eventually healed.

However, even now, my back, chest and ribs can still hurt if I bind for about 1-2 hours. My body really can’t take it any more and there will also be times that even without binding, it will play up.

Just because you’re not using an ace bandage, or tape, does NOT mean that double binding with a chest binder, a small sports bra, a small binder or a mixture of both is safe and won’t harm you, because it’s far from safe.

Bind safely, one binder is enough and remember that chests are not 100% flat.

You really need to listen if you are doing this because I know that if I saw a message like this sooner, I probably would have stopped.

Your rib cage isn’t really a system of bones the way any other bone is. Its not anchored to other bones through joint systems. Its connected by a series of elastic cartilage segments or fused to your sternum or spine.

This elasticity is great for your lungs because it means your ribs can expand so you can take deeper breaths, but it also means your ribs are extremely vulnerable to warping under continual pressure.

For Sonic the Hedgehog’s twenty-fifth anniversary, Sega decided to open a Sonic cafe. A couple of the menu items are what you would expect: a chili dog with a side of onion rings, a parfait based on that crazy ice cream from Sonic Unleashed… but everything else is just really random and weird.

Case in point, this Shadow burger, with a bun colored black by the addition of bamboo charcoal, which has been a popular trend in Japan the last few years. It’s not the bun that your eyes are drawn to, though. It’s the cheese. The cheese with a character printed on it.

THAT IS SHADOW THE HEDGEHOG CHEESE.

This is not a joke. This is a real thing that Sega has decided to do. There exist in this world slices of American cheese with Shadow the Hedgehog printed on them. I don’t even know how to react to this. The burger costs ten bucks and the menu claims that if you eat it, you might be consumed by dark energies.

Shadow the Hedgehog cheese.
