To get it, someone with active messaging must write you.. As I already have it, I will message everyone who reblogs this.

Once you get the messaging, you help me and send a message to the person who also reblogs this message from you.

I want to throw some positivity back into the community, so I decided to have a tiny giveaway for all my followers.

Prizes:

There will be two (2) winners:  one Grand Prize winner, and one Runner Up.

This giveaway is open to all followers!  However, I am only able to ship within the 48 US mainland states.  In the case that you live across the pond and draw Grand Prize, you will get a piece of art instead (example above).

Grand Prize:  The Art of Dragon Age:  Inquisition physical book!

Runner Up:  $50 value art of your Inquisitor + one additional character, colored and drawn with love.

Rules:

Must be following me.  As much as I would love to open it to everyone, I’m pretty much giving away $100 of goodies here.  I would feel better giving it away to people who have supported me!

New followers are welcome!  But please don’t unfollow after.  That’s a dick move.

Likes count as free one vote, and you can reblog as many times as you want—each reblog is one vote! Just be considerate of your followers.

This post has to reach 150 notes, otherwise the giveaway is closed.  It’s much fairer to me, and to everyone else, that this post reaches all 300+ of you so everyone has an equal chance.  So reblog away!

Prizes will be delivered ASAP.

VIRUS WARNING

There are many posts going around at the moment which is leading people in with everyone’s favourite MBTI Test, which connects to your tumblr, “analyzes” your tumblr account, and then posts your result to your blog.

It doesn’t actually analyze your blog, it’s completely random.

After posting the result to your blog, it redirects to one of many virus infested websites. 

This leads to other people falling for it, clicking on the link, spreading it, and then possibly giving many people a virus.

January: Selfie Olympics

February: Flappy Bird

And for some reason it wouldn’t recognise that there were 2 faces in the picture

So we tried it from a different angle and

I was really confused and kind of offended at what it’d done to my face

BUT THEN

This powerful image is from one of the memorials last night for 16-year-old Maren Sanchez.

Maren was stabbed to death in her high school stairwell on the morning of the prom. She was killed for allegedly turning down a young man’s invitation to be her prom date.

Her classmates paid tribute by dressing up, and bringing out the gown she would have worn to the prom. Even though this memorial was a sorrowful and traumatic event, the students smiled through their tears for the camera because… Maren would have wanted them to be happy on their prom night.

I grew up in Milford, CT, and I live about 15 minutes away from Jonathan Law High School. My partner attended JLHS and I have friends with family members who currently attend.

With the Sandy Hook shooting in December 2012, I can’t believe that here we are again, just a year later, with another tragedy in a Connecticut school.

ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME? YOUNG GIRLS GETTING FUCKING KILLED BECAUSE MEN A MAN CAN’T HANDLE REJECTION. 

A TRANS COLLEGE STUDENT IN A TOXIC ENVIRONMENT NEEDS YOUR HELP. 

One of my close friends named Brent (pictured above, he’s the one with short black hair and glasses) is in an extremely dangerous situation. 

To give you a little background information, Brent’s a transgender individual living with two extremely conservative parents who show zero respect for Brent’s gender identity, preferred pronouns and name, and little sympathy for his overall well-being. We met this fall at Bowling Green State University, and I became one of his close friends over the year. This year has been huge in terms of him coming out as trans and developing confidence in his gender expression. He’s made so much progress and I’m incredibly proud of him, but he’s had major fallbacks in terms of his relationship with his parents. They stopped paying for his schooling for a period of time (which nearly caused him to leave school), have put him through a disgusting amount of emotional abuse because of a past sexual identity and his current gender expression. They don’t believe in gender expression or identity other than the one assigned at birth, and refuse to acknowledge that it’s something that Brent’s been dealing with throughout his entire life. They thoroughly believe being Trans* is a choice, and this is something he has been persuaded to do.  

They believe that the individuals he has befriended at Bowling Green State University have caused this change, and they don’t understand the support he’s received. They don’t believe someone who identifies as trans* can lead a successful life and that this “behavior” shouldn’t be “encouraged”. Because of this, they’re forcing Brent to transfer to another nearby University (University of Toledo) and commute every day, which would be extremely hazardous to Brent’s mental well-being.    

Brent would be completely cut off from those who support him the most, including myself, his girlfriend, and his sports team, and would be completely and utterly at the whim of his parents. His parents have tried seeking therapists to “fix” this issue, and force Brent to present in a way in which goes against his preferred gender expression. 

Understandably, this takes a huge toll on Brent’s mental health. He has already begun falling into a depression because of his current situation, and is a risk to himself in terms of self harm and suicidal thoughts. 

This is our final hope for keeping Brent at Bowling Green State University where he has an overwhelming support system, and is in a  lgbtq+ positive environment. Brent’s girlfriend and myself have set up a indiegogo fundraiser in which we are attempting to raise enough money to pay for this upcoming school year. 

Our goal is roughly $10,000, and literally any possible donation can help Brent continue his college education at the university he’s currently attending. 

If you can’t donate money, which is completely understandable, PLEASE HELP BY REBLOGGING THIS POST. The more we can spread this post around the better and it’s just as important as any donations made. 

I know this post is extremely long, but one of my best friend’s mental sanity is on the line and it’s so important to me at we at least try to raise a little money to help him. This is our last hope and I know I’ve seen tumblr do so many wonderful things. 

Here’s the link where you can donate: http://igg.me/at/brent-at-bowling-green/x/7677726
