HYPE FOR ATSV!! 💫 (00/300)

i will never understand the people who think madoka the better genre deconstructing magical girl anime when compared to utena. utena actually engages directly with shoujo tropes that were unchallenged staples of every major shoujo/magical girl anime that had come out previously and laid bare for us to see the misogynistic roots that formed these concepts. it portrays the same types of toxic relationships that you could find being heavily romanticized on any other shoujo at the time and takes them to their logical extreme. i don't see madoka doing anything like that or as being anything deeper than just a dark and gritty take at these magical girl clichés

Reblog to actually save a life

Reblogging, because this is so important. When I was learning how to cook for myself in my tweens, I had at least a five years of fire safety seminars from school drilling this into my head, and I STILL had that instinctive put-the-fire-out-with-water reflex. Didn’t even think. I saw our oily burner catch fire after frying eggs, whipped around towards the sink for water, and my brain immediately screamed NO!!! NO WATER! I mean that fire safety stuff straight up bitchslapped me out of REFLEXIVELY setting my house on fire. I found a pot lid and inched it over the burner before turning off the heat. Even if you think you know this stuff, panic is powerful shit. Make knowledge more powerful.

I'm thinking about this post and i have decided that it is one of those things that is a poem in some undefinable way

a dude came into the library stoned out of his mind and was like, “do I need a library card to look at books?” And I said, “to take books home, yes. To look at them, no” and he looked so relieved. bro was staring at a fish encyclopedia for like an hour and then just left.
